This Privacy Policy explains what information this website collects, how it is used, and what rights you have over your data. It is written to be read, not skimmed past. If something is unclear, the contact details at the bottom of this page are there for exactly that reason.
By using factsaboutarsenal.com, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Who we are
factsaboutarsenal.com is a content website covering Arsenal Football Club; its history, players, trophies, stadium, and rivalries. The site is independently owned and operated. There is no corporate entity behind it; it is run by one person whose contact details appear at the end of this policy.
For the purposes of data protection law, the site operator is the data controller.
What information we collect
This site collects two categories of information: data you provide directly, and data collected automatically when you visit.
Information you provide directly includes anything submitted through a contact form. Your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry. It is not added to any mailing list, shared with third parties, or used for any purpose beyond the conversation you initiated.
Information collected automatically includes standard technical data that most websites collect: your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you visit, how long you spend on them, and the page you arrived from. This data is collected in aggregate through Google Analytics and is used to understand how the site is being used, which articles are being read, where traffic is coming from, and how the site can be improved. It is not used to identify you personally.
Cookies
This site uses cookies. Small text files stored in your browser. They fall into three categories:
Essential cookies are set by WordPress to make the site function correctly. They do not track you and cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
Analytics cookies are set by Google Analytics to collect aggregated data about how visitors use the site. These cookies help understand traffic patterns and article performance. No personally identifying information is collected through these cookies.
Performance cookies may be set by the site’s caching system (NGINX FastCGI Cache) to deliver pages more quickly. These are technical in nature and do not track behaviour.
If you prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers allow you to disable them in your settings. Be aware that disabling essential cookies may affect how the site displays and functions.
Third-party services
This site uses the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy:
Google Analytics — collects anonymized data about site traffic and user behaviour. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Google Search Console — provides data about how the site appears in Google search results. No personal user data is accessible through Search Console.
WordPress — the content management system on which this site runs. WordPress may set functional cookies as part of normal operation.
All in One SEO (AIOSEO) — an SEO plugin that helps optimize how content appears in search results. It does not collect personal data from visitors.
ShortPixel — an image optimisation service. Images are processed on ShortPixel’s servers and returned optimized. No visitor data is transmitted to ShortPixel.
This site does not currently run advertising. If that changes, this policy will be updated to reflect the specific advertising networks and data practices involved before any ads are served.
How long we keep your data
Contact form submissions are kept for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up. They are not retained indefinitely.
Analytics data is retained in Google Analytics for 26 months, in line with Google’s default retention settings.
Server logs generated by the hosting provider (InterServer) are retained according to their own data retention policies, which are available on their website.
Your rights
If you are located in the United Kingdom or the European Union, you have the following rights under GDPR:
The right to access the personal data held about you. The right to correct inaccurate data. The right to erasure — to request that your data be deleted. The right to restrict how your data is processed. The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. The right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
If you are located in Canada, you have rights under PIPEDA (the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), including the right to access personal information held about you and to challenge its accuracy.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below. Requests will be responded to within 30 days.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us and it will be deleted promptly.
Links to other websites
Articles on this site may contain links to external websites — official club pages, news sources, statistical databases, and similar. This Privacy Policy applies only to factsaboutarsenal.com. Once you leave this site via a link, the privacy practices of the destination site apply. We have no control over and no responsibility for the content or data practices of external sites.
Changes to this policy
This policy will be updated if the site’s data practices change — for example, if advertising is introduced, if new third-party services are added, or if applicable law requires changes. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If a significant change is made, a notice will be added to the site for a reasonable period.
