Privacy Policy for TalkFootyFC.com
Last Updated: June 30, 2025
At TalkFootyFC, we’re committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your information when you use our website, listen to our podcast, or interact with us on social media.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve our services to you. This can include:
- Personal Information you give us directly:
- Contact Information: When you email us (e.g., at [email protected]) or interact with us on social media, you might provide your name, email address, and any other information you choose to share in your communications.
- Podcast Interactions: If our podcast allows for direct listener submissions or comments, you might provide identifying information.
- Event Participation: If you participate in any fan reactions, interviews, or events we cover, you might voluntarily provide your name, image, or voice.
- Information collected automatically:
- Usage Data: When you visit our website, we may collect data like your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and dates/times of access. This helps us understand how our site is used.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies (small data files stored on your device) and similar technologies to improve your experience, analyze site usage, and potentially for advertising purposes. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
- Social Media Analytics: While we boast over 20 million monthly views on social media, we primarily rely on the aggregated, anonymized data provided by those platforms (like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, etc.) regarding audience demographics and content performance. We generally do not directly collect personal data from your social media profiles unless you interact with us directly, as mentioned above.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:
- To operate, maintain, and improve our website and podcast.
- To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
- To understand how our content is consumed and to create more relevant content.
- To analyze trends and user behavior to enhance user experience.
- To fulfill our journalistic duties, which may include publishing fan reactions or event coverage where you’ve voluntarily participated.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or illegal activities.
- For marketing and promotional purposes, if you have opted in to receive such communications (e.g., newsletter sign-ups).
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, or email delivery. These providers are obligated to protect your information.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction.
- With Your Consent: We may share your information with your explicit consent.
4. Your Choices and Rights
You have certain choices regarding your information:

- Communication Preferences: If you receive promotional emails from us, you can unsubscribe by following the instructions in those emails.

5. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. International Data Transfers
As TalkFootyFC is based in Nigeria, your information will be processed and stored in Nigeria. If you are accessing our services from outside Nigeria, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Nigeria where our servers are located and our central database is operated. By using our services, you understand and agree that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.
