This Privacy Policy covers the UEFA Foundation’s treatment of personal identifying information that the UEFA Foundation collects when you are on the Website and when you use services on the Website, as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy also covers the UEFA Foundation’s treatment of any personal identifying information that the UEFA Foundation’s beneficiaries share with the UEFA Foundation unless otherwise stated.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of any companies or legal entities that the UEFA Foundation does not own or control or to any persons that the UEFA Foundation does not employ or manage, including without limitation third-party beneficiaries to whom you provide information. The UEFA Foundation is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of other websites to which you choose to link from the Website, and the UEFA Foundation encourages you to review the privacy policies of those other websites so you can understand how they collect, use and share information.
Information collection and use
The UEFA Foundation does not collect personal identifying information when you access the Website homepage and browse the Website without disclosing your personal data except as described in this Privacy Policy or the relevant part of the Website and except cookies (see below under “cookies”).
The UEFA Foundation collects personal identifying information when you register on the Website, when you use certain products or services on the Website and when you apply for support. The UEFA Foundation may also receive personal identifying information from its beneficiaries.
When you register, the UEFA Foundation asks for your name, email address, and some other personal information. Once you register with the UEFA Foundation and/or sign in to our products or services, you are not anonymous to the UEFA Foundation.
The UEFA Foundation also automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including your Internet Protocol address (IP address), which identifies your computer, the UEFA Foundation’s cookies information and the page you requested.
The UEFA Foundation uses information collected for three general purposes: for technical administration of the Website, for research and development to achieve and maintain a high service level and for customer information (to customise the content you see, to fulfil your request for certain products and services and to contact you about specials and new products and services).

The UEFA Foundation does not, as a matter of business practices, maintain personal identifying information longer than necessary for the purposes stated, unless otherwise agreed to by you.
Information sharing and disclosure
The UEFA Foundation will not sell or rent your personal identifying information without your consent to any third parties, such as but not limited to IT service suppliers and any other third party processing personal identifying information on behalf of the UEFA Foundation.
However, by approving this Privacy Policy, you expressly give your consent and agree to the disclosure of your personal data by the UEFA Foundation and your consent is deemed to be given. The UEFA Foundation may send personal identifying information about you to third parties when:
- The UEFA Foundation has your consent to share the information;
- The UEFA Foundation needs to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested;
- The UEFA Foundation needs to send the information to third parties who work on behalf of the UEFA Foundation to provide a product or service to you (unless otherwise stated, these third parties do not have any rights to use the personal identifying information the UEFA Foundation provides to them beyond what is necessary to provide a product or service to you);
- The UEFA Foundation responds to courts or authorities;
- The UEFA Foundation finds that your actions on the Website violate the UEFA Foundation Website Terms and Conditions or any other UEFA Foundation guidelines or rules applicable to specific services; or
- The UEFA Foundation finds that it is necessary, as determined at UEFA Foundation sole discretion, to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, emergency situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any persons, violations to the UEFA Foundation Website Terms and Conditions or as otherwise required by law.
Before disclosing your personal identifying information to third parties, the UEFA Foundation will ensure that sufficient security measures and adequate data protection are guaranteed by the third party and take reasonable steps to ensure compliance with those measures.
In particular, the UEFA Foundation ensures that adequate protection is guaranteed for personal identifying information to be transferred abroad. In some specific cases when this level of protection is not guaranteed, the UEFA Foundation will obtain your prior consent or establish with the recipient of personal identifying information a contractual framework or sufficient safeguards that ensure an adequate level of protection abroad.
As part of its internal data auditing process, the UEFA Foundation may conduct regular checks on processing by third parties, especially with respect to security measures.
