We take your privacy seriously. Please view our Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated in and subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Guardian Fantasy Football 2008/2009 competition (the "Competition"). By registering to enter the Competition on the Guardian FF website, you expressly consent to the use of your Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998 (the "Act"), the data controller is Guardian News and Media Limited of 119 Farringdon Road, London, EC1R 3ER. For the purpose of the Competition and your use of the Guardian FF website, your personal information will be processed on our behalf by CleverTV Limited of 4th Floor, 36 Spittal Square, London E1 6DY ("CTV")

We collect personal information about our users during registration for the Competition and from our use of "cookie" technology as you use the Guardian FF website. We will also collect personal information about you if you answer our surveys, fill out our questionnaires, and when you report a problem with our site. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer this website and to gather broad demographic information. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user's session will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous.

The data we collect from cookies and other places is used in the aggregate to give us demographic information about the entire Guardian FF website audience in order to improve the Guardian FF website service.

We use cookies to identify you anonymously in our database and to track the pages you visit on this website. A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you have visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this website.

The personal information you provide - generally only your name, e-mail address and postal address (together with any other information you may provide to us by phone or by email or by letter) - allows us to process and manage your participation in the Competition (including confirming prize winner details, sending out prizes and dealing with any technical or other queries you may have), to promote the Competition to you (by sending you e-mails, such as reminders to play or general updates on the Competition (each email will give you the option to unsubscribe from future emails)), to provide you with information, products or services that you request from us, to inform you about changes or additions to this website and the Competition, and (where you have agreed to this) to notify you of our products and services, and those of our affiliates and third parties that we believe may be of interest to you. We also share aggregate information -- not individual data -- with our advertisers and other website subscribers, to help them better understand our services and to monitor the reach of their advertising on this website.

Except where you have not agreed that we may contact you for promotional purposes (or where you have asked us not to contact you for these purposes), you agree that we can hold your registration details so we can invite you to participate in the 2009/2010 season's football-related competition or tournament (if any).

The data that we collect from you will be transferred to, and stored by, CTV. The data we collect from you will be processed by CTV's staff and CTV and its staff will process the data we collect from you for the purposes set out in this privacy policy. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. CTV will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

The Guardian FF website uses reasonable precautions to keep the personal information disclosed to us secure and to disclose such information only to third parties we believe to be responsible. However, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties which receive the information. The Guardian FF website also links to a wide variety of other sites. We are not responsible for their privacy policies or how they treat information about their users.

You may correct your member information or select the option not to receive additional mailings by using the link supplied on the bottom of any email you receive. If you have questions we can be reached by e-mail: registration@guardianunlimited.co.uk

You have the right to access any personal information that we hold about you in accordance with the Act and to request us to correct this information if it is incorrect. Any access request may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.

If you have any questions about this privacy statement or the Guardian FF website or you wish to change or remove information previously provided you can contact us by sending an e-mail to registration@guardianunlimited.co.uk
