Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Athletedom (“Athletedom”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares personal data in connection with the website athletedom.com and related services (the “Platform”). It also explains the rights you have over your personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Latvian law.

1. Who we are (Data Controller)

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Athletedom
Email: contact@athletedom.com

2. What data we collect

Data you provide

If you create an account or athlete profile, we collect the information you submit — for example your name, email address, date of birth, nationality, playing position, statistics, biography, and any photos or content you upload.

Data about athletes collected from public sources

Athletedom maintains a directory of athletes. Some athlete profiles are compiled from publicly available sources, such as official league, federation, club, and competition websites. This may include:

Name
Date or year of birth
Nationality
Club / team affiliation
Playing position
Sporting performance statistics (e.g. games played, goals, points, and similar)

We do not collect special categories of data (such as health, religious, or political data) for these profiles.

Data collected automatically

When you visit the Platform, we and our service providers may collect technical data such as IP address, device and browser type, pages visited, and similar analytics data through cookies and similar technologies.

3. Why we use your data and our legal basis

To operate the athlete directory and Platform — legal basis: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in providing a sports networking and discovery service, and in making publicly available sporting information searchable and useful.
To provide accounts and profiles you create — legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and/or your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).
To communicate with you — legitimate interest and/or consent.
To analyse and improve the Platform — legitimate interest and, where required, consent for non-essential cookies.
To comply with legal obligations — legal basis: legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)).

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed those interests against your rights and freedoms. You have the right to object to this processing — see Section 7.

Minors. Athletedom takes the privacy of young people seriously. Where a profile relates to a person under 18, we recognise that this data deserves additional protection. If you are a parent or guardian and wish to review, restrict, or remove a profile relating to a minor, contact us at contact@athletedom.com and we will prioritise your request. We do not knowingly create user accounts for children under the age required by applicable law without appropriate consent.

4. How we share data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:

Service providers who host and operate the Platform on our behalf (e.g. hosting, database, and analytics providers), under appropriate data-processing terms.
Other users and the public, to the extent a profile is intended to be publicly visible.
Authorities, where required by law.

Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

5. How long we keep data

We keep personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes described above — for account data, for as long as your account is active; for directory profiles, for as long as the information remains relevant to the directory. We remove or anonymise data when it is no longer needed or upon a valid request.

6. Cookies

We use essential cookies to operate the Platform and, with your consent where required, analytics and preference cookies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate data
Request erasure of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
Object to or restrict processing based on legitimate interests
Request a copy of your data in a portable format
Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent

To request removal or correction of a profile, email contact@athletedom.com with the name and link to the profile in question. We aim to respond to all requests within 30 days, as required by the GDPR.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In Latvia this is the Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija), www.dvi.gov.lv.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard the data we hold.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you of significant changes.
