Privacy Policy

    This Privacy Policy explains how worldcupper.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit worldcupper.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

    worldcupper.com is an independent informational website about the 2026 FIFA World Cup. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with FIFA or the official FIFA World Cup.

    Who we are

    The Site is operated by worldcupper.com. For any privacy-related questions, contact us at info@worldcupper.com.

    Information we collect

    Information you provide. If you contact us (for example, by email or through a contact form), we receive the information you choose to send — such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

    Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

    • Log and device data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and access times.
    • Usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on the Site, and similar analytics.

    This information is collected through server logs, cookies, and similar technologies. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.

    Cookies and tracking technologies

    We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, understand how it is used, and measure affiliate referrals. These include:

    • Essential cookies needed for the Site to function.
    • Analytics cookies that help us understand traffic and usage.
    • Affiliate / referral cookies set when you click a partner link (see "Affiliate links" below).

    You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies via a cookie banner.

    How we use information

    We use the information we collect to:

    • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
    • Measure and analyze traffic and usage.
    • Track affiliate referrals and any resulting commissions.
    • Respond to your inquiries.
    • Detect, prevent, and address security issues, abuse, or technical problems.
    • Comply with our legal obligations.

    Affiliate links and third-party tracking

    worldcupper.com participates in affiliate programs, including with VeloBet. When you click an affiliate link or promotional banner on the Site, you may be redirected to a third-party website, and that third party (and its partners) may set cookies or collect information in order to attribute the referral — and any resulting activity — to us. We may earn a commission from qualifying actions. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of these third parties; please review their own privacy policies.

    Third-party services

    We rely on third-party providers to operate the Site, which may process limited data on our behalf, including hosting and infrastructure providers, backend service providers, and analytics providers. We also use sports-data providers to display match information; these do not receive your personal data from us. We do not sell your personal information.

    Links to other websites

    The Site contains links to external websites that we do not operate or control. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites.

    Children's privacy

    The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. Any betting-related content and any third-party gambling services referenced are strictly for adults aged 18 or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

    Data retention

    We retain information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

    Your rights

    Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information — such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict its use, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. If you are in the EEA/UK (GDPR) or in California (CCPA/CPRA), you may have additional rights, including the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@worldcupper.com.

    International data transfers

    Your information may be processed in countries other than the one in which you live, which may have different data-protection laws. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

    Data security

    We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

    Changes to this Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Your continued use of the Site after any changes means you accept the updated Policy.
