Overview

Welcome to myteamkickoff.com ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website — a free utility tool that converts 2026 FIFA World Cup match kickoff times into your local timezone.

We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. This site does not require you to create an account, submit personal details, or log in. The information outlined below is collected automatically through standard web technologies and third-party advertising services.

By using myteamkickoff.com you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

Information We Collect

myteamkickoff.com is a static, client-side website. We do not operate a database or collect any information you actively submit. However, like virtually all websites, certain data is collected automatically when you visit:

• IP addresses — used to estimate general geographic location (country/region level) for analytics and ad serving
• Browser type and version — e.g. Chrome, Safari, Firefox
• Operating system — e.g. Windows, macOS, Android, iOS
• Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• Date and time of visit
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring URL — the page or search result that brought you to our site
• Exit pages — the last page visited before leaving
• Number of clicks

Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies

myteamkickoff.com uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.

Specifically, Google may use the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads based on your visit to myteamkickoff.com and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy — see Section 5 below for opt-out instructions.

Third-Party Ad Networks

In addition to Google AdSense, we may from time to time work with other third-party ad networks or affiliate programs. These third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in their advertisements and links that appear on myteamkickoff.com. These are sent directly to your browser.

When this happens:

• Third-party advertisers automatically receive your IP address
• They may use cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons to measure ad effectiveness
• They may use this data to serve you targeted content or advertisements on other websites
• myteamkickoff.com has no access to or control over these cookies once they are set by third parties

We encourage you to review the individual privacy policies of any third-party ad networks for more information on their data practices and opt-out procedures.

How to Opt Out of Personalized Ads

You have the right to choose not to receive personalized advertising. You can do this through any of the following methods:

• Google Ads Settings: Manage or opt out of Google's personalized ads by visiting adssettings.google.com
• Network Advertising Initiative: Opt out of participating ad networks at optout.networkadvertising.org
• Digital Advertising Alliance: Manage your ad preferences at aboutads.info/choices
• Your browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely via your privacy or security settings. Note that doing so may affect website functionality across the web.

Your Rights Under GDPR (EU/EEA Users)

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you specific rights regarding your personal data. These rights include:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to Rectification: You can request that inaccurate data be corrected
• Right to Erasure: You can request that your data be deleted ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask us to limit how we use your data
• Right to Data Portability: You can request your data in a machine-readable format
• Right to Object: You can object to processing of your data for direct marketing or profiling purposes

As a static utility website that does not collect personally identifiable information directly, most of the data subject rights listed above apply primarily to data held by our third-party advertising partners (Google). To exercise your rights with Google, please visit Google's Data & Privacy dashboard.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA (California Users)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) give you specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know: You have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, why we collect it, and who we share it with
• Right to Delete: You can request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions
• Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights

myteamkickoff.com does not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, sharing data with advertising partners like Google for the purpose of targeted advertising may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under California law. To opt out of this, please use the options in Section 5 above, or contact us directly using the details in Section 11.

Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. myteamkickoff.com uses the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality — for example, remembering your selected timezone during your session. These cannot be disabled without breaking the tool.
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited, how long users stay, and where they come from. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
• Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history across the web. These are only activated with your consent where required by law.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings or via the opt-out links in Section 5. Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting which we respect.

Children's Privacy

myteamkickoff.com is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to remove that information.
