Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Who we are

This website, https://forwins.com (the “Website”), is operated by ForWins (“we”, “us”, “our”). We publish football statistics and predictions. For any privacy-related questions or requests, you can contact us at [email protected].

What personal data we collect and why

Contact form

When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject and message you submit. This information is delivered to our email inbox and is used solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not use it for marketing purposes and we do not add you to any mailing list. Messages are kept only for as long as necessary to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

We use cookies for basic site functionality, to remember your language preference, for visitor statistics and for advertising. If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies; these convenience cookies last for one year. If you log in to the Website, WordPress will also set cookies to save your login information and screen display choices.

Full details of every cookie category we use, together with instructions on how to manage or block cookies, are available in our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website — for example which pages are visited, how long visits last, the approximate location derived from your IP address, and the type of device and browser used. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We display advertising served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Website and to other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to show you ads that are relevant to your interests.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can opt out of some other third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Affiliate links

Some links on the Website lead to third-party bookmakers and contain affiliate tracking parameters. If you follow such a link, the bookmaker may set cookies on its own website to record that you arrived from ForWins. We do not receive any personal data about you from bookmakers — only aggregated, anonymous statistics. Any data you provide to a third-party website is processed under that website’s own privacy policy.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data. Data may be processed on our behalf by service providers that help us run the Website: our hosting provider, Google (analytics and advertising, as described above) and an automated spam-detection service used for comments. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Contact-form messages are retained only for as long as necessary to handle the enquiry.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, have left comments, or have contacted us, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you additionally have the right to rectification of inaccurate data, the right to restrict or object to processing, the right to data portability, the right to withdraw any consent you have given at any time, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Some of our service providers, such as Google, may process data on servers located outside the EU/EEA. Where this happens, the transfer relies on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Minors

The Website is intended for adults aged 18 or over and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with a new “last updated” date.
