  • Payment Processors: When you subscribe to content, payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) provide us with confirmation of payment, last four digits of the payment method, and billing details, but never your full credit card number.
  • Analytics Providers: Services like Google Analytics provide us with aggregated, de-identified data on user behaviour and site traffic.
  • Social Media: If you choose to link your social media accounts to your TCA account, we may receive limited profile information (e.g., public profile name, profile image).

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  1. To Provide and Maintain the Services: To operate our website, ensure the functionality of live broadcasts, articles, and content feeds, and manage user accounts.
  2. To Process Transactions: To facilitate and confirm paid content subscriptions, ensuring creators receive their full subscription revenue.

3. How We Share and Disclose Information

We will not sell your personal data. We only share information in the following circumstances:

  • With Content Creators (Internal): If you subscribe to a creator’s content, we may share non-PII aggregated data (e.g., number of subscribers) to help them understand their audience. We will not share your email address or personal details with creators.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We share necessary information with vendors, consultants, and service providers who need access to the data to perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, data analysis, payment processing).
  • Legal Compliance and Protection: We may disclose your information if we believe it is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; or to enforce our Terms and Conditions, including investigating potential violations.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
  • Consent: We may share your information with any other third party with your prior consent.

4. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law.

We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data. You use the Services at your own risk.

5. Children’s Privacy (Under 18 Users)

TCA is an Australian football media platform, and we recognize that individuals under the age of 18 may wish to contribute or use our Services.

  • General Use: Our Services are not generally directed at children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
  • Content Creators Under 18: For any individual under the age of 18 who wishes to enter a formal agreement with TCA (e.g., as a paid content creator or volunteer), we require verifiable written consent from a parent or legal guardian before any PII or monetization services can be activated. All financial payments will be handled under the supervision and account of the legal guardian.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you:

  • Access and Correction: You may review and update most of your account information directly through your profile settings. You can request access to other information we hold about you by emailing us.
  • Deletion: You may request the deletion of your account and personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions (e.g., transaction records).
  • Opt-Out of Marketing: You can opt out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in those emails.

7. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on the Service prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices. Continued use of the Services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the new terms.
