This Privacy Policy explains how SorareCEO (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit https://www.sorareceo.com (the “Website”), contact us or otherwise interact with our services.
We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate SorareCEO, respond to our visitors, understand how the Website is used and provide the features described in this policy.
1. Who We Are
SorareCEO is an independent website providing information, guides, tutorials and other content related to Sorare.
For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, SorareCEO is responsible for the personal information we collect and process through this Website.
You can contact us at:
Calle Muluk, Depto Clavel 3
Playacar, Playa del Carmen, Mexico 77713
Email: [email protected]
2. Information We Collect
The information we process depends on how you interact with SorareCEO. You can browse most of the Website without directly providing us with your name or contact details.
Information you provide to us
If you use our contact form, we may collect:
- your first name;
- your last name;
- your email address; and
- the contents of your message.
If you contact us directly by email, we receive your email address and any other information you choose to include in your message.
Technical information
When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be processed automatically as part of delivering and securing the Website. Depending on the circumstances, this can include your IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, referring URL, and the date and time of requests.
Additional information about how you use SorareCEO is collected through Google Analytics only when you provide the required consent, as explained below.
3. How We Use Your Information
We may process personal information for the following purposes:
- to operate, maintain and secure SorareCEO;
- to respond to messages and enquiries you send us;
- to diagnose technical problems and protect the Website against abuse or security threats;
- to understand how visitors use the Website and improve our content when you consent to analytics;
- to remember and respect your privacy and consent choices;
- to provide third party content, such as YouTube videos, when you choose to allow it;
- to operate and measure our affiliate relationships where applicable; and
- to comply with applicable legal obligations and establish, exercise or defend legal claims where necessary.
We do not currently use personal information collected through SorareCEO to provide personalised advertising on the Website.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR or another law requiring a lawful basis applies, the legal basis depends on the processing activity.
Consent: We rely on your consent for optional technologies and services where consent is required. This includes Google Analytics and loading embedded YouTube content through our consent system. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Legitimate interests: We may process information where necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, maintaining, protecting and improving SorareCEO, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Steps taken at your request: When you contact us with a request or enquiry, we process the information you provide so we can respond to you.
Legal obligations: We may process information when necessary to comply with an applicable legal obligation.
5. Cookies, Consent and Similar Technologies
SorareCEO uses cookies and similar technologies for limited purposes. Some technologies are necessary for the Website to operate, while optional services are controlled through our consent system.
We use Real Cookie Banner to manage cookie and privacy preferences. When you visit SorareCEO, you can accept optional services, continue without consenting to them, or manage your individual preferences.
Your consent choices are stored so the Website can remember and respect your selection.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the privacy or cookie settings available on the Website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal.
6. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use SorareCEO.
Google Analytics is an optional service on SorareCEO. It is activated only after you provide the required consent through our consent system.
When enabled, Google Analytics may process information about your interaction with the Website, including pages viewed, sessions, approximate location, browser information, device information, operating system and other usage information.
Google Analytics may use your IP address during data collection for purposes such as determining approximate location and routing data. Google states that raw IP addresses are discarded after the relevant processing and are not associated with user identifiers in Google Analytics.
Google Analytics uses cookies on SorareCEO, including:
- _ga, generally used to distinguish visitors; and
- _ga_E2MQGJ2EHK, associated with our Google Analytics property and used to maintain session information.
We currently configure the _ga cookie with a duration of up to two years and the _ga_E2MQGJ2EHK cookie with a duration of up to two years. Actual storage duration may also depend on Google’s technology and your browser settings.
We also use Google’s Consent Mode to communicate relevant consent choices to Google services. Our consent configuration prevents Google Analytics measurement from being activated through our Analytics implementation until the required consent has been provided.
Google may process information in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States. Where required, international data transfers are subject to safeguards available under applicable data protection law.
You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices at Google’s Privacy Policy.
7. Embedded YouTube Videos
Some SorareCEO articles contain videos provided by YouTube, a service operated by Google.
We use a content blocker to prevent embedded YouTube content from loading automatically when consent is required. Before consent, the Website displays a locally controlled placeholder instead of loading the YouTube video.
If you choose to load a YouTube video and provide the required consent, your browser establishes a connection with YouTube. Google may then receive information such as your IP address, browser and device information, the page containing the video and information about your interaction with the video.
YouTube may also store or access cookies and other information on your device. The exact processing can depend on factors such as your Google account, browser settings, previous interactions with Google services and whether you are signed in to Google.
You are not required to load YouTube videos to read the rest of our Website.
You can learn more about Google’s processing of information through YouTube at Google’s Privacy Policy.
8. Google Fonts and Gravatar
SorareCEO uses fonts that originate from the Google Fonts library. We serve these font files locally from our own Website rather than requesting them directly from Google’s font servers when you visit our pages.
We may also display avatar images associated with WordPress or Gravatar. Where these images are used on SorareCEO, we use local caching so they can be delivered from our Website rather than requiring your browser to retrieve the image directly from Gravatar each time a page loads.
These measures are intended to reduce unnecessary connections from your browser to external services during ordinary page viewing.
9. Contact Forms and Email
If you contact us through our contact form, we process your first name, last name, email address and message so we can receive, review and respond to your enquiry.
If you contact us directly by email, we process the information contained in that communication for the same purpose.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through our contact form unless it is necessary for your request.
We retain correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, prevent abuse or meet legal requirements.
10. Sorare Affiliate Links and Impact
SorareCEO participates in an affiliate relationship with Sorare. Some links to Sorare on this Website are affiliate links.
Our Sorare affiliate links may use tracking infrastructure provided by impact.com, formerly known as Impact Radius. An affiliate link may contain an identifier that allows a visit or qualifying action to be attributed to SorareCEO.
When you choose to click one of these links, you leave SorareCEO and may be redirected through Impact’s infrastructure before reaching Sorare. Impact, Sorare or their service providers may process information associated with the referral and may use cookies or other tracking technologies to determine whether a qualifying action resulted from our referral.
This may include technical and referral information such as your IP address, device or browser information, referral identifiers, timestamps and information relating to a qualifying action. The exact information processed is determined by the relevant third party and the circumstances of your interaction.
We may receive aggregated or attribution information that allows us to determine that a referral resulted in a qualifying action and commission. We do not receive payment card information simply because you use one of our affiliate links.
Following an affiliate link is optional. You can access Sorare independently without using a SorareCEO affiliate link.
For more information about how Impact processes information, see Impact’s Privacy Policy. Sorare’s own processing is governed by its applicable privacy information once you access its services.
11. Third Party Websites and Links
SorareCEO contains links to websites and services operated by third parties, including Sorare and other external resources referenced in our content.
When you follow an external link, the third party may collect and process information according to its own privacy practices. We do not control the privacy practices, cookies or content of independent third party websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy information of any third party service you choose to use.
12. When We Share Information
We do not sell personal information collected through SorareCEO.
Personal information may nevertheless be processed by or disclosed to third parties when necessary to operate the Website and provide its features. Depending on your interaction with SorareCEO, these parties may include:
- website hosting and infrastructure providers;
- Google in connection with Google Analytics, where you have consented;
- Google and YouTube when you consent to and load embedded YouTube content;
- Impact and Sorare when you choose to follow relevant affiliate links;
- providers involved in delivering or securing our Website or communications; and
- professional advisers, authorities or other parties where disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with law or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not permit service providers acting solely on our behalf to use information for unrelated purposes where we have the ability and legal responsibility to impose such restrictions.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, security and dispute resolution requirements.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it is processed.
Contact enquiries may be retained while we handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards where necessary for record keeping, security or legal purposes.
Analytics information is subject to the retention settings configured within Google Analytics and Google’s applicable retention practices. Cookies stored on your device have their own expiration periods and may also be deleted through your browser or our consent controls where applicable.
Consent records may be retained where necessary to demonstrate and manage the privacy choices made through our Website.
14. International Data Transfers
SorareCEO operates from Mexico and is accessible internationally. Some of our service providers and other third parties operate in multiple countries.
As a result, personal information may be processed in a country other than the country in which you live. Privacy and data protection laws may differ between jurisdictions.
Where applicable law requires specific safeguards for international transfers, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms available to us or our relevant service providers. Depending on the service and destination, these may include adequacy decisions, applicable data privacy frameworks, contractual safeguards or other legally recognised mechanisms.
15. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to the processing, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion of your personal information in applicable circumstances;
- request restriction of certain processing;
- object to certain processing based on legitimate interests;
- receive certain information in a portable format where the right to data portability applies;
- withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent; and
- lodge a complaint with an applicable data protection or supervisory authority.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exceptions or limitations under applicable law.
If you have provided consent for Google Analytics, YouTube or another optional service through our consent system, you can change or withdraw that consent through the Website’s privacy settings.
You can also contact us at [email protected] to make a privacy request relating to information controlled by SorareCEO. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
16. EEA and UK Privacy Rights
If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to the processing of your personal data, you may have the rights described above, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability where the applicable requirements are satisfied.
You also have the right to withdraw consent where we rely on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.
You may have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority responsible for your country or region. We encourage you to contact us first if you have a concern so we have an opportunity to address it.
17. United States Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state law. Depending on the law and whether it applies to SorareCEO, these can include rights to access, correct or delete personal information and obtain information about certain disclosures or processing activities.
Some U.S. privacy laws also provide rights concerning the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes. SorareCEO does not currently sell personal information collected through the Website or operate personalised advertising on the Website.
Affiliate referrals are described separately in Section 10 because clicking an affiliate link results in an interaction with third party services outside the ordinary operation of SorareCEO.
You may contact us if you wish to exercise a privacy right available to you under applicable law. We will respond in accordance with the law that applies to the request.
18. Privacy Rights in Mexico
Where Mexican data protection law applies, you may have rights regarding access to, rectification or cancellation of your personal data and the ability to object to certain processing, commonly referred to as ARCO rights.
You may contact us using the details in this Privacy Policy if you wish to exercise an applicable privacy right concerning information controlled by SorareCEO.
19. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.
However, no website, Internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore take reasonable precautions when providing information online.
20. Children’s Privacy
SorareCEO is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly use optional analytics or similar technologies to collect personal information from children under 16 without the consent required by applicable law.
Our consent interface informs visitors that individuals under 16 should not consent to optional services themselves where parental or guardian consent is required.
If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to SorareCEO inappropriately, please contact us at [email protected] so we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
21. Browser and Privacy Controls
In addition to the privacy controls available directly on SorareCEO, most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and other stored website data.
Blocking all cookies at browser level may affect functionality that relies on technically necessary storage. For optional services controlled by our consent system, we recommend using the Website’s privacy settings so your preferences can be applied appropriately.
22. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our Website, service providers, privacy practices or applicable legal requirements change.
When we make changes, we will update the date shown at the top of this page. If a change materially affects processing that depends on consent, we may also request a new consent choice where appropriate.
We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically, particularly after we introduce new Website features or services.
