Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string, to assist with spam detection, website security, and comment moderation.

An anonymised string created from an email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether the visitor uses that service.

Gravatar and Automattic Privacy Policy:

https://automattic.com/privacy/

After a comment is approved, the commenter’s profile picture may be publicly visible alongside the comment.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service.

Media Uploads

If you upload an image to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location information, including EXIF GPS information.

Visitors may be able to download publicly available images and extract any location information contained within them.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate website features, remember preferences, improve security, measure traffic, and provide relevant content.

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for convenience so that you do not have to enter the same details again when leaving another comment. These cookies may remain for up to one year.

When you visit the website login page, a temporary cookie may be used to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and is removed when the browser is closed.

When an authorised user logs in, cookies may be created to save login information and screen-display preferences. Login cookies normally remain for two days, and screen-preference cookies may remain for one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, login may remain active for approximately two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If an authorised user edits or publishes an article, an additional cookie may be stored in the browser. This cookie contains no personal information and only indicates the relevant article or post ID. It normally expires after one day.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Embedded Content and External Links

Pages or articles on our website may include embedded content, such as:

YouTube videos or live streams
Images
Documents
Maps
Articles
External event resources

Embedded content from another website behaves in the same way as if the visitor directly visited that website.

Third-party websites may collect information, use cookies, add tracking technologies, and monitor interactions with embedded content, particularly when the visitor has an account with and is logged into that third-party service.

The RSSA SPORTS app and website may also contain links to external websites, documents, live streams, or organiser resources. The privacy policy and terms of the external service apply when you access it.

RSSA SPORTS does not control or accept responsibility for the content or privacy practices of independent third-party services.

Third-Party Services

The RSSA SPORTS app and website may use third-party services including:

Google Play Services
Google AdMob
Firebase or other Google services where applicable
Expo and Expo Push Notification services
YouTube
Website hosting and security providers
Spam-detection services
Analytics or performance services where enabled

These providers may process limited information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Who We Share Information With

We may share limited information with service providers only when required to:

Operate the website or app
Deliver push notifications
Display advertising
Host content
Provide live streams or external documents
Detect spam, fraud, or security threats
Analyse crashes and technical performance
Provide customer support

If a website user requests a password reset, the requesting IP address may be included in the password-reset email.

We may also disclose information:

During a lawful business transfer, merger, or reorganisation

RSSA SPORTS does not sell users’ personal information.

How Long We Retain Information

Favourite players, notification preferences, and cached event information may remain locally on the user’s device until the user removes them, clears the app data, or uninstalls the app.

Push-notification and support information may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, maintain security, resolve disputes, comply with law, or fulfil legitimate operational requirements.

When a visitor leaves a website comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments without placing every comment in a moderation queue.

For registered website users, if any, we may store the personal information included in their user profiles. Users may view, edit, or delete their personal information, except where the website does not allow usernames to be changed. Website administrators may also view and edit this information for administration and support.

Official sports-event information may remain available as part of event results, rankings, reports, archives, or historical records where publication and retention are legally permitted.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, organisational, and technical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure.

Data transmitted between the app, website, and supported services is intended to use encrypted HTTPS connections.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law and your location, you may have the right to:

Request access to information associated with you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request an export of eligible personal information
Request deletion of eligible personal information
Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent
Object to or restrict certain processing
Disable push notifications
Change advertising privacy settings
Remove favourite-player selections
Clear locally stored preferences and cached data
Uninstall the app

Website users who have an account or have submitted comments may request an exported copy of eligible personal information held about them. They may also request that eligible personal information be erased.

Deletion requests do not cover information that RSSA SPORTS must retain for administrative, legal, safety, security, or legitimate official sports-record purposes.

How to Request Data Deletion

support@rssasports.com

Your name
Your email address
Whether the request relates to the website or mobile app
The event, athlete record, support request, or device installation concerned
A clear description of the information you want deleted

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity or authority before completing a request.

Eligible requests will be reviewed and processed within a reasonable period, subject to applicable law and any legitimate retention requirements.

Users can also remove locally stored app information by clearing favourites, clearing cached data, resetting app data, or uninstalling the RSSA SPORTS app.

Children and Junior Athletes

The RSSA SPORTS app is intended for athletes, coaches, officials, event organisers, and spectators aged 13 and above.

The app does not currently allow users to create accounts and does not knowingly request personal information directly from children under 13.

The website and app may display official sports-event information relating to junior athletes when this information is supplied by authorised event organisers.
