Privacy notice

Who controls your data

LiveStreamBlog controls data used to operate its website, accounts and commercial relationship. When a club, newsroom or event organiser publishes through the platform, that organisation controls the audience, contributor and story data it supplies; LiveStreamBlog processes it on that organisation’s instructions.

Data we handle

• Account and organisation details, including name, email, role and authentication records.
• Editorial content, match events, corrections, attribution, media and audit history.
• Subscriber contact details and notification choices where those features are enabled.
• Security and operational data such as session identifiers, salted client-address hashes, request metadata, logs and delivery outcomes.
• Enquiries, support correspondence and information you choose to provide.
• Optional aggregated audience measurement only after consent where required.

Why we use it

We process data to perform contracts, provide and secure the service, maintain an accurate publishing history, deliver requested messages, respond to enquiries, comply with law and improve the product where we have consent or a legitimate interest that does not override your rights.

Storage and cookies

Secure session cookies are necessary for authentication. A local consent preference remembers whether optional audience measurement is allowed. Optional measurement is off until you choose it. You can reopen Cookie settings in the footer at any time.

Sharing and international transfers

Data may be handled by vetted infrastructure, communications, payment, security and support providers solely to deliver the service. An organisation may configure integrations that send its content to partners. Where data leaves the EEA, appropriate contractual or legal transfer safeguards must be used. We do not sell personal data.

Retention and deletion

Account and operational records are kept only as long as needed for the service, security, legal obligations and documented retention settings. Append-only publishing and correction records may need to remain to protect editorial integrity. Tenant export and deletion requests are assessed against those requirements, backups and the rights of others.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and withdraw consent without affecting earlier processing. You may complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission or your local supervisory authority.

Children and public content

The platform is not directed to children as account holders. Organisations covering youth sport must have an appropriate lawful basis, follow safeguarding rules and avoid unnecessary personal data. Published stories and live events may be public and redistributed through configured outputs.

Security and changes

We use access controls, encrypted transport, hashed credentials, tenant isolation, audit history and monitored delivery controls. No system is risk-free. We will update this notice when processing materially changes and show the revision date here.
