Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website, showsignalmatesmi.skin, is operated by Showsignalmatesmi Analytics GmbH (Company No. HRB 284617), Leopoldstraße 118, 80802 München, Germany ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for personal data processed through this site. We publish independent sports analytics and are not affiliated with any football club or competition organiser.

2. Data we collect

We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site and respond to you:

  • Contact form data: your name, email address, enquiry topic and message when you submit our contact form.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type and pages requested, recorded in server logs for security and reliability.
  • Consent data: your cookie preferences, stored locally in your browser.
  • Analytics data (only with consent): aggregated information about page views and navigation paths, collected via first-party analytics cookies.

We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16, and we do not collect special categories of personal data.

3. How we use data and our legal bases

We process personal data to answer enquiries (legal basis: steps prior to a contract or our legitimate interest in responding, Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR); to secure and maintain the site (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f)); and to understand how content is used so we can improve it (consent, Art. 6(1)(a)). We never sell personal data and never use it for automated decision-making with legal effects.

4. Cookies

We use essential cookies required for the site to function, and optional analytics and functional cookies only after you opt in through our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time. Full details, including a table of every cookie, are in our Cookie Policy.

5. Third-party processors

We use a small number of service providers acting as processors under written data processing agreements compliant with Art. 28 GDPR: a web hosting provider located in the European Economic Area, an email delivery provider used to receive and answer contact form messages, and a first-party analytics tool hosted within the EEA. Where any processor transfers data outside the EEA, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary safeguards.

6. Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access your data, rectify inaccuracies, request erasure, restrict or object to processing, receive your data in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, including the Bavarian data protection authority responsible for private bodies.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do neither), and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To exercise any right, email [email protected]. We respond within one month (GDPR) or 45 days (CCPA), and may ask you to verify your identity.

7. Retention

  • Contact form messages: 12 months after the conversation ends, then deleted.
  • Server logs: 14 days, unless needed to investigate a security incident.
  • Analytics data: aggregated and retained for 14 months.
  • Cookie consent record: 12 months, after which we ask again.
