Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

gameplan26.com ("we", "us", "our") is an independent website providing FIFA World Cup 2026 information. We are not affiliated with FIFA or any national football association.

2. What Data We Collect

We aim to collect as little data as possible. Here is what may be collected when you use our site:

• Timezone preference — We store your selected timezone in your browser's localStorage so we can display match times in your local time. This data never leaves your device.
• Server logs — Like all websites, our server automatically logs basic technical data including your IP address, browser type, and which pages you visit. These logs are used solely for technical purposes and are not shared with third parties.
• Analytics — We may use privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics (e.g., Plausible or similar) to understand which pages are popular. No personal data is collected for analytics purposes.

3. Cookies

This website uses no tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other advertising trackers. The only data stored locally is your timezone preference in localStorage (not a cookie).

If you use our affiliate links (see below), the destination VPN website may set their own cookies in accordance with their privacy policy.

4. Affiliate Links

Some links on this website are affiliate links. Specifically, our VPN recommendation links go through our /affiliate.php redirect, which then sends you to a VPN provider's website.

• We may earn a commission if you purchase through these links, at no extra cost to you.
• We do not receive or store any personal data from affiliate partners.
• The VPN provider you visit will have their own privacy policy.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services:

• flagcdn.com — We load flag images from flagcdn.com. This means flagcdn.com's servers will receive your IP address when loading these images.
• Google Fonts — We use Google Fonts (Inter, Bebas Neue). Google may log basic request data when fonts are loaded. You can review Google's privacy policy.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Union, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right to access — request a copy of data we hold about you
• Right to erasure — request deletion of any data we hold about you
• Right to object — object to our processing of your data

Since we collect almost no personal data, exercising most of these rights will result in confirmation that we hold no data about you. To exercise your rights, contact us at: privacy@gameplan26.com

7. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
