Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how MICHEZO AFRIKA ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) — information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact or locate a single person — when you use michezoafrika.com. Please read it carefully.

What information do we collect?

We do not require registration to read the site. We only collect personal information you choose to give us directly — for example your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or WhatsApp channel, contact us, or leave a comment on an article. Standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) is also collected automatically via analytics and advertising cookies, described below.

How do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect when you subscribe, contact us, or interact with the site to:

  • Personalize your experience and show you sports content and features you're most interested in.
  • Improve our website and better serve our readers.
  • Respond to your enquiries and customer service requests.
  • Send newsletters or breaking-news alerts you have opted in to receive.

How do we protect your information?

We never ask for or store credit card numbers — MICHEZO AFRIKA does not process payments on this site. Any personal information you do share with us is kept behind secured networks and is only accessible to a limited number of people who need it to do their job and who are required to keep it confidential. We run regular malware scanning on our systems.

Do we use cookies?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site transfers to your device through your browser, allowing the site to recognize your browser and remember certain information. We use cookies to understand how our site is used, remember your preferences (such as dark mode), and to compile aggregate traffic data so we can offer a better reading experience over time.

You can choose to have your browser warn you before accepting cookies, or to turn cookies off entirely, through your browser's settings. If you disable cookies, some features of the site may not function as intended.

Third-party disclosure

We do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties without advance notice, except where necessary to operate our website (for example hosting and analytics partners bound by confidentiality), or where required to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our rights or the rights of others.

Advertising & Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on our website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's previous visits to this and other websites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings, the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Children's privacy (COPPA)

We do not knowingly market to or collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

Fair Information Practices & data breach notification

Should a data breach occur, we will notify affected users via an in-site notification within one business day. Individuals have the right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law.

Email communications (CAN-SPAM)

If you subscribe to our newsletter or alerts, we collect your email address solely to send you the content you signed up for. Every email includes a clear way to unsubscribe. If at any time you'd like to stop receiving emails from us, click "unsubscribe" in any email, or contact us directly and we will promptly remove you from all correspondence.
