Privacy Policy

KickoffTime (kickofftime.com) is an unofficial, independently operated fan website providing FIFA World Cup 2026 match schedules, live scores, standings, and timezone conversions. We are not affiliated with FIFA, any national football association, or any tournament organiser.

For questions about this policy, contact us at: rocklee1751999@gmail.com

We collect minimal data to operate the service:

• Timezone preference — saved in your browser's local storage to show match times in your local timezone. Never sent to our servers.
• Country / region — inferred from your IP address (country level only) to count anonymous visitor statistics on the traffic heatmap. We do not store individual IP addresses.
• Page views — anonymised visit counts per page, used to understand site usage.

We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information unless you contact us directly.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense places cookies on your device to show relevant ads based on your browsing behaviour. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

KickoffTime is a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

When you click an Amazon affiliate link on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our content or recommendations.

Anonymous visit counts are retained for the duration of the FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament (June–July 2026) and deleted thereafter. Timezone preferences are stored only in your browser and can be cleared by clearing your browser's local storage at any time.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy laws, including:

• The right to access personal data we hold about you
