1. Who We Are
This website, topsolariq.buzz ("Topsolariq", "we", "us", "our"), is an editorial World Cup 2026 preview hub operated by:
Topsolariq Media UG
Schillerstraße 24
60313 Frankfurt am Main
Germany
We act as the data controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for personal data processed through this website.
2. What Data We Collect
Topsolariq is a read-only editorial site. We do not require registration, accounts or payments. The data we may process is limited to:
- Server log data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and date and time of access. This data is collected automatically by our hosting provider for security and stability purposes.
- Cookie preference data: a local record of whether you accepted or declined optional cookies (stored in your browser, not on our servers).
- Optional analytics data: aggregated, pseudonymised usage statistics — only if you consent via our cookie banner.
- Correspondence: if you write to us by post, we process the information you choose to provide in order to respond.
3. Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal data on the following legal bases under Art. 6 GDPR:
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): server logs needed to operate, secure and defend the website.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): optional analytics cookies, which are only set after you click "Accept All" in the cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
4. How We Use Your Data
We use the data described above solely to:
- Deliver the website's pages to your device;
- Maintain the security and integrity of our infrastructure;
- Understand, in aggregate, which previews and sections are most read (consent-based analytics only);
- Respond to enquiries you send us.
We do not sell personal data, we do not run advertising profiles, and we do not offer betting or gambling services of any kind.
5. Data Retention
Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a maximum of 30 days and then automatically deleted, unless a specific log entry must be kept longer as evidence of a security incident. Cookie preference records remain in your browser until you delete them or for a maximum of 12 months, after which the banner is shown again.
6. Data Sharing
We share data only with our website hosting provider, acting as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR, and only to the extent technically necessary to operate the site. We do not transfer personal data to third countries outside the EU/EEA unless adequate safeguards under Chapter V GDPR are in place.
7. Your Rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15);
- Rectify inaccurate data (Art. 16);
- Request erasure (Art. 17);
- Restrict processing (Art. 18);
- Data portability (Art. 20);
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21);
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in our case, the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HBDI).
To exercise any of these rights, write to us at the postal address listed in Section 1.
8. Children
This website is editorial sports content intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children, and no features of the site are directed at children.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when legal requirements or our technical setup change. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
