Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how VisitSoccer ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our directory websites, including visitsoccer.com and its city editions such as charlotte.soccer.

We aim to be straightforward about data. If something is unclear, email us at support@visitsoccer.com and we will get back to you.

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Newsletter signup: your email address, the source of the signup (footer, popup, etc.) and the language you were browsing in.
• Contact form: your name, email address, the subject, and the message you send us.
• Account: if you sign up for an account, we collect your email address and any optional profile data you provide (handled by our auth provider, Supabase).

Information we collect automatically

• Server logs: IP address, user agent, timestamp and the URL you accessed. Used for security, abuse prevention and basic analytics.
• Cookies and local storage: small pieces of data we store in your browser to remember preferences (language, theme) and to avoid showing the same popup repeatedly. See our Cookie Policy.

How we use information

• To send the newsletter, if you subscribe.
• To respond to your contact-form messages.
• To run and secure the site (rate limiting, bot detection).
• To improve product decisions through aggregated, non-identifying analytics.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not run third-party advertising on our sites.

How we share information

We share data only with the service providers we need to run the product:

• Supabase for account authentication and storage.
• Resend to deliver transactional and newsletter emails on our behalf.
• Cloudflare for site delivery, DNS, and Turnstile bot protection on our forms.
• Vercel for hosting the website.

Each provider has its own privacy practices. We choose vendors who treat user data responsibly, but you should review their policies if you want full detail.

Your choices

• Newsletter: every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email us and we will remove you.
• Cookies: you can clear cookies and local storage from your browser at any time. Some features (theme, language, login) will reset.
• Account deletion: email us at support@visitsoccer.com and we will delete your account and associated data within 30 days.
• Access or correction: same email above. We will respond within 30 days.

Data retention

We keep newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe. We keep contact-form messages for up to 24 months for support and abuse-prevention purposes. We keep account data while your account is active and delete it on request.

Children

VisitSoccer is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the product evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, notify users by email or via a notice on the site.
