Data we collect and why

Newsletter sign-up

If you subscribe, we store your email address, the time you gave consent and the page you signed up from. We use it only to send the RIZ SPORTS newsletter. Legal basis: your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email or by asking us via the contact form, and we will delete your address.

Contact form

When you use the contact form we receive your name, email address, chosen topic and message by email so we can reply. We keep these messages for up to 12 months. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.

Comments

If comments are enabled on an article and you leave one, WordPress stores your name, email address, IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. Comments are moderated before they appear.

Analytics

If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google) to understand how readers use the site. Google Analytics is not loaded unless you accept. You can change your choice at any time using “Cookie settings” in the site footer.

Spam and abuse protection

To prevent abuse of our forms, we temporarily record a one-way hashed version of your IP address for up to one hour. It is not used for any other purpose.

Server logs and hosting

Our website is hosted by Hostinger, whose servers and content delivery network process technical data such as IP addresses and request logs to deliver and secure the site.

Cookies

  • riz_consent — remembers your analytics choice (180 days).
  • Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) — set only if you accept analytics.
  • WordPress comment cookies — set only if you leave a comment and choose to save your details.

Sharing your data

We do not sell personal data. Data is shared only with service providers who help us run the site: hosting, email delivery, analytics (only if you accept), and any email newsletter service we use to send the newsletter.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018) you have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent.
