What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g., when submitting a soccer event or through a contact form), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Our Site includes remarketing pixels provided by third parties. This allows these parties to collect the information that you have visited our site and were interested in certain offers. As such, we may display offers to you based on the products you currently own or have recently viewed, and deliver other communications relevant to you outside of our site. You can modify your cookie and tracking preferences directly through your browser.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics for the purpose of traffic analysis. Google Analytics does not collect personal identifiable information.
We also use Hotjar to analyze traffic activity on the site. Hotjar does not collect personal identifiable information.
Competitions
When Galaxy Soccer Brisbane runs competitions, we often need to receive personal information, including email addresses and physical addresses. We will not share your information as part of the entry unless you have explicitly opted in, or as a winner, when we need to pass this information to sponsors to allow you to receive your prize. By entering a competition, you automatically become a member of Galaxy Soccer Brisbane, but you can opt-out at any time. If the competition app fails at any time, the competition will be withdrawn, and Galaxy Soccer Brisbane will maintain the right to choose whether to conduct it again.
Who We Share Your Data With
Except as described below, we do not share your data with any third parties and will not do so unless we are instructed by a legal authority.
We work with some third-party software to provide services to you, such as email campaigns, website hosting, and targeted advertising. Where any of your data is used for such purposes, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure the third party is compliant with privacy laws and that they manage your data securely.
Service providers include:
- Mailchimp for the purposes of Marketing and Email Campaigns
- Big Scoots for website hosting
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. If you make a submission by way of comments or voluntary submission, this information may be retained indefinitely. You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you at any time.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
