Effective date: 28 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Listing Sports ("Listing Sports", "we", "us" or "our") handles personal data when you use listingsports.com, create an account, submit a sports business or event, contribute an article, report a listing, or contact us. It should be read with our Digital Personal Data Protection Policy, Listing Policy, Editorial Policy and Disclaimer.
Information We Collect
We may collect information that you provide directly, including your name, email address, password credential in hashed form, telephone number, professional role, profile URL, business or event details, article submissions, author biography, listing reports and correspondence.
We also receive limited technical information needed to operate and secure the website, such as IP address, device and browser information, request logs, session identifiers and security events. If you choose to allow analytics cookies, our configured analytics services may also receive information about page views and interactions.
Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive personal data. Listing Sports does not request payment-card information through its current listing or article submission forms.
How We Use Information
We use personal data to:
- create and secure accounts and sessions;
- receive, review, publish and manage business, event and article submissions;
- communicate about moderation, corrections, support or policy matters;
- investigate abuse, fraud, security incidents and listing reports;
- operate, maintain and improve the website;
- understand website use where optional analytics consent has been provided; and
- comply with applicable law and enforce our policies.
Cookies and Analytics
Essential cookies are used for security, authentication and core site operation. Optional analytics or similar non-essential tracking is loaded only after the visitor selects Accept analytics in the website’s privacy controls. A visitor may choose Essential only and can later change the saved choice through the privacy controls provided on the site.
The exact providers enabled on the website may change through authorised site settings. When Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager is enabled, those services are treated as optional analytics and remain blocked until consent.
When We Share Information
We may share data with service providers that help us host, secure, store, maintain or measure the website, subject to appropriate instructions and safeguards. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect users or the service, or in connection with a genuine organisational restructuring. Public listing, event, author and article information is visible when it is approved and published.
We do not publish private account passwords or sell submitted personal data as a standalone product.
Data Retention
We keep data only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, including moderation, security, dispute, legal and record-keeping needs. Retention periods vary by data type. Approved public content may remain available until it is corrected, archived or removed. Backup copies may persist for a limited recovery period before scheduled deletion.
Your Choices and Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to provide information about personal data associated with you, correct inaccurate data, delete data that is no longer required, withdraw consent for optional processing, or raise a grievance. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where a legal, security or dispute-related reason requires it.
You can update certain account or submission information through the website. Optional analytics consent can be refused without preventing access to the public website.
Children’s Privacy
Listing Sports is a general sports discovery platform and is not designed for children to create independent accounts or submit personal data without appropriate parent or guardian involvement. If you believe a child’s personal data was submitted without valid authority, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
Security and International Processing
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, including hashed passwords, protected sessions and access controls. No internet service can promise absolute security. Service providers may process data from locations outside your state or country, subject to applicable legal requirements and contractual or technical safeguards.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our services, legal obligations or data practices change. The effective date at the top identifies the current published version. Material changes will be presented through the website or another appropriate notice.
