Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us when you register for an account, subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contact form, or enter prize-eligible competitions. This may include your name, email address, username, country of residence, date of birth (where required for age verification), and any correspondence you send to our support team.

We also automatically collect certain technical information when you use our platform, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and interaction data such as squad selections saved to local storage. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and maintain the fantasy league platform, process squad submissions, calculate scores and leaderboard rankings, communicate with you about account matters and gameweek updates, send newsletters you have opted into, detect and prevent fraud or abuse (including multi-accounting), comply with legal obligations, and improve our services through aggregated analytics.

Where you have given consent, we may send promotional communications about Chinchin Wines sponsorships, partner offers, and new platform features. You may withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in marketing emails or contacting support@chinchinwines.com.

Legal Basis for Processing

For users in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom, we process personal data on the following bases: performance of a contract (providing the fantasy service you signed up for), legitimate interests (platform security, analytics, and service improvement), consent (marketing communications), and legal obligation (responding to lawful requests from authorities).

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in hosting, analytics, email delivery, and customer support, subject to confidentiality agreements. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others. In the event of a merger or acquisition, user data may be transferred as a business asset with notice provided where legally required.

We retain account data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Leaderboard history and anonymised gameplay statistics may be retained indefinitely for statistical purposes. Contact form submissions are retained for up to twenty-four months. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by emailing privacy@chinchinwines.com.
