We respect and protect your data

This Privacy Policy explains how Handball Cup (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit our website, participate in our events, or engage with our services. By using our site you agree to the practices described below.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above and, where appropriate, notify you about significant changes.

Information we collect

We collect personal data in three main ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and data shared by partners. All collection is limited to what is relevant for event management and community engagement.

  • Information you provide. Registration details, team submissions, inquiries, and preferences such as communication or marketing opt-ins.
  • Automatic data. Device identifiers, browser type, pages viewed, and interaction times captured through cookies or similar technologies to maintain site performance.
  • Third-party sources. Verification or analytics data provided by ticketing or payment processors when you sign up for paid events.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child has provided personal data, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

How we use information

We use collected information solely to provide and improve the services you request. Typical purposes include:

  • Managing event registrations, schedules, and match logistics.
  • Sending essential updates, announcements, and service notices.
  • Personalising content, including newsletters and highlights you choose to receive.
  • Monitoring site usage to secure our platform and detect suspicious activity.

When we share data

We never sell your personal information. Limited sharing occurs only when it is necessary to operate the Handball Cup experience or to meet legal obligations.

  • Service providers. Trusted vendors such as ticketing, payment, or email partners that process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality requirements.
  • Legal or safety reasons. Compliance with lawful requests, enforcement of our terms, or action required to protect participants and staff.
  • Business changes. If we merge or reorganise, your information may transfer under the same privacy commitments.

Your rights & choices

You are in control of how your personal data is used. You can:

  1. Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  2. Ask us to correct or update inaccurate or incomplete information.
  3. Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time without affecting essential service updates.
  4. Request deletion of your data, subject to legal or contractual retention requirements.

Depending on your location, additional rights may apply under relevant data protection laws (such as GDPR or CCPA). We will respond to all verified requests within one calendar month.

Security & retention

We implement organisational and technical safeguards—including access controls, encryption in transit, and regular monitoring—to protect your personal information. Despite our efforts, no online service can be completely secure, so please take appropriate precautions when sharing data online.

We retain personal data only for as long as needed to deliver requested services, comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
