Who We Are

This privacy policy applies to Iesoccerwc, accessible at Iesoccerwc. We are an independent editorial website covering FIFA World Cup 2026 betting analysis, odds and predictions for an Irish audience. We do not operate a bookmaker or accept bets directly.

What Data We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information when you visit our website:

Automatically collected data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages, and date and time of access. This data is collected through server logs and analytics tools.

Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyse traffic and improve our website. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

Voluntarily provided data: If you contact us via email or a contact form, we may collect your name, email address and the content of your message.

How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes: to operate and maintain the website, to analyse usage patterns and improve content, to respond to enquiries, and to comply with legal obligations.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our legal bases for processing your data are: legitimate interest (website analytics and improvement), consent (where cookies require it), and legal obligation (where required by law).

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services that collect, monitor and analyse data. These may include analytics providers, advertising networks and affiliate programme operators. Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We use affiliate links to licensed bookmakers; when you click these links, the bookmaker’s own privacy policy applies to any data collected on their platform.

Data Retention

We retain automatically collected data for no longer than 26 months. Voluntarily provided data (such as email correspondence) is retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, after which it is deleted.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to data portability and the right to object to processing. You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address provided below.

Data Transfers

Some of the third-party services we use may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
