Data that in some way identifies the user is gathered during interactions with the Socceron website. One of the ways that data is gathered is by way of internet cookies.

Internet Cookies are small strings of text placed on users’ hard drives during the data exchange that happens when a browser points to a website. Cookies allow a website to store information on a user’s machine and retrieve it later. Cookies and other information collection technologies can only store information that is explicitly provided by the user or visitor in the first place, or information the website already knows about the user, such as their IP address.

In addition, the browser type and operating system are provided.
  • Navigation and Click-Stream Data
    Browsing any website, including the Socceron website, generates a trail of the pages that are visited, and the time apparently spent displaying each page.
  • Data Storage, Use and Disclosure and Retention
    All personal data described in the preceding section is stored in transmission logs and archived for a period that is yet to be determined. It is likely that this period will be between at least 12 months and 7 years.
