Privacy Policy

Overview

SoccerBasics.us is a free reference site that explains soccer to American audiences. We do not require account registration, and we do not collect personal information such as your name or email address.

This policy explains what data is collected automatically through the services we use, and how you can control it.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit, what pages they visit, and what sites they came from before arriving here. This information is anonymized — it does not identify individual visitors.
