Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 17, 2026

Match Ball Pods ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect any personal information you provide when visiting our website (the "Site") or contacting us.

We are the data controller for any personal data we process. Our company is Match Ball Pods Ltd, registered in Scotland with company number SC885733.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the personal information you voluntarily provide, primarily through our contact form or when you email us. This may include:

• Your name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Company/organisation name
• Any message or details you include (e.g., about your club or      sponsorship interest)

We do not collect payment details, as we do not process sales online. We may also collect limited technical data automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time/date of access (via server logs or basic analytics tools).

We do not use cookies for tracking or marketing unless you explicitly consent (see our separate Cookie Policy if we add one later).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information only for the purposes you provide it, including:

• Responding to your enquiries, providing information about Match      Ball Pods products (e.g., Ballon d'Ock), arranging demos, quotes, or discussions
• Communicating with you about potential partnerships,      customizations, or sponsorship opportunities
• Improving our Site and services (using anonymised data only)

We process this data based on our legitimate interests (responding to business enquiries and promoting our products to relevant organisations) or, where applicable, your consent.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only in limited circumstances:

• With trusted service providers (e.g., email hosting, website host   like GoDaddy) who help us operate the Site — they are bound by strict      confidentiality
• If required by law, court order, or regulatory authority (e.g., ICO or law enforcement)
• In the event of a business sale or merger (your data would transfer      under the same protections)

We do not transfer your data outside the UK or EEA unless appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g., standard contractual clauses).

4. How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary:

• Enquiry data: up to 2 years after last contact (or longer if required for legal reasons)
• Technical logs: typically 6–12 months

After that, we securely delete or anonymise it.

5. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have rights including:

• Access to your personal data
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure ("right to be forgotten") in certain cases
• Restriction of processing
• Objection to processing (e.g., for direct marketing)
• Data portability

To exercise any rights, contact us at info@matchbapods.com. We will respond within one month (free of charge, unless requests are excessive).

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse (e.g., secure hosting, limited access). However, no internet transmission is 100% secure.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date. Please check back periodically.
