Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Fan Guide 2026 is an independent editorial project based in Canada that publishes guides for fans of the 2026 World Cup. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Fan Guide 2026. We are the party responsible for the personal information handled through this website.

2. Information we collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. In practice, this means:

• Information you provide directly — for example, the content of an email you send to our editorial address.
• Technical information collected automatically — such as your approximate location (derived from your IP address), browser type, device type and the pages you view.
• Cookie and consent data — your cookie preference is stored locally in your browser so we can remember your choice.

We do not run e-commerce, accounts or contact forms, so we do not collect payment details, passwords or order information.

3. How we use information

We use the limited information we hold to:

• operate, maintain and improve our guides and website;
• understand, in aggregate, which content readers find useful;
• respond to messages you send us;
• protect the site against abuse and technical problems.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that affects you.

4. Cookies and analytics

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies, including privacy-respecting analytics, to understand how the site is used. You can manage your preferences at any time. For full detail, see our Cookie Policy.

5. Sharing and third parties

We may share limited technical data with service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting and analytics providers, strictly to deliver those services on our behalf. We may also disclose information where required by law. We do not otherwise share or sell your information.

6. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Aggregated analytics data, which does not identify you, may be kept for longer to track trends over time. Emails you send us are retained as long as needed to handle your request and meet any legal obligations.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, to object to certain processing, or to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will respond within a reasonable time.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
