Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 20, 2026
At Occult World Cup ("we", "our", or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you when you use our website (https://occultworldcup.com/).
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us (such as through contact forms) and information collected automatically through cookies and similar tracking technologies when you browse our site.
2. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Third-Party Advertisers
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
- Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.
3. Use of Your Information
We use the information we collect to maintain and improve our website, respond to user inquiries, and monitor and analyze trends and usage.
4. Analytics And Site Improvement
Occult World Cup may review aggregated traffic patterns to understand which encyclopedia topics, tournament matchups, and research notes are useful to readers. This can include page views, approximate device type, browser information, referring pages, and general usage timing. We use this information to fix broken navigation, improve mobile readability, prioritize source updates, and make the archive easier to explore.
We do not need sensitive personal information to operate the archive. Readers can browse the encyclopedia, tournament, and blog without creating an account. If future features require accounts, comments, newsletters, or saved preferences, this policy should be updated before that feature is launched.
5. Reader Messages And Corrections
If you contact us, your message may contain your email address, the page you mention, and any details you choose to provide. We use that information to respond, review a correction, or investigate a technical issue. Please do not send private witness details, addresses, phone numbers, financial information, or claims that identify a person who has not chosen to be part of a public record.
Correction messages may be summarized internally so editors can track what changed and why. We may keep a minimal record of a correction request to avoid repeating the same error, but we do not publish a reader's private contact information in article text.
6. Advertising Choices
Google and other advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and measure performance. Readers can manage personalized advertising through Google's ad settings and browser-level privacy controls. Occult World Cup does not sell a reader's contact message to advertisers.
7. Data Minimization
The site is designed as a public reading experience, so we try to collect only what is needed for ordinary publishing, analytics, security, advertising support, and reader communication. We avoid collecting precise location, identity documents, private social media accounts, or sensitive categories of personal information because they are not necessary for an encyclopedia and tournament site.
