1. Data Controller
Fair Lines is operated by Καπαγιαννίδης Κωνσταντίνος, who acts as the data controller for personal data processed in connection with the website.
Contact: [email protected]
2. About the Website
Fair Lines provides football information, statistics and analytical content. Browsing does not require an account or registration.
3. Categories of Personal Data
Technical data processed during visits may include IP addresses, access dates and times, requested URLs, HTTP methods, response codes, User-Agent information and other request metadata.
If you contact us by email, we may also process your email address, message content and information you voluntarily provide.
4. Purposes and Legal Bases
Technical data is processed to deliver the website, protect against malicious activity, diagnose problems and maintain security and availability. Where applicable, this is based on legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Processing requests concerning data protection rights may be necessary to comply with legal obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Cookies are additionally subject to applicable electronic communications legislation.
5. Technical Server Logs
The website uses Nginx and Uvicorn. HTTP requests may be recorded in Nginx access logs and the systemd journal, which receives application access logs.
The current Nginx configuration provides for daily rotation with 14 previous rotations. journald has a seven-day maximum retention setting and size limits. These settings do not guarantee deletion of each record at an exact time.
6. Cloudflare
Fair Lines uses Cloudflare for CDN delivery, DDoS protection, security checks and aggregated network traffic analytics.
Cloudflare may process IP addresses and technical metadata through international infrastructure, potentially involving transfers outside the European Economic Area, subject to applicable safeguards.
Further information: Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
7. Cloudflare Web Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics / Real User Monitoring (RUM) is enabled. Under the current configuration, European Union visitors are excluded from automatic measurement collection through the JavaScript beacon. Technical usage and performance measurements may be collected for visitors outside the European Union.
This exclusion does not prevent technical data processing by Cloudflare's other services.
8. Cookies and Language Preferences
Fair Lines uses a functional cookie named lang to remember the visitor's selected display language (Greek or English).
The cookie is created when a visitor selects a language through the language switcher. On a first visit without a previous selection, the website displays English without creating this cookie.
The cookie expires 365 days after selection and is not automatically renewed during ordinary browsing. It uses Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax attributes.
Cloudflare may also use technical security cookies when specific protection mechanisms are triggered.
9. Google Analytics 4
Fair Lines uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a service provided by Google, only after the visitor has given prior consent. Consent is the legal basis for this processing under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
GA4 is used to measure visits, page views and interactions with the website. Data processed may include cookie identifiers, device and browser information, interaction data and technical information, including IP addresses during transmission.
GA4 data collection is not activated before consent. Refusing consent does not restrict access to the website. Visitors can change their choice through the cookie settings available in the footer.
The consent or rejection preference is stored for 180 days. GA4 may use cookies such as _ga and _ga_* after consent has been granted.
GA4 event and user data retention is configured for two months, with reset on new user activity disabled. These settings do not necessarily determine the retention period of all aggregated reports.
Google may process data outside the European Economic Area under applicable data protection mechanisms.
Further information: Google Privacy Policy.
10. Email Communications
Messages sent to [email protected] are forwarded through Cloudflare Email Routing to a Google (Gmail) mailbox.
The information is used to review and respond to enquiries and comply with legal obligations where necessary.
Email correspondence is retained only for as long as necessary to handle the relevant enquiry or communication. Messages are reviewed periodically and deleted when no longer needed. Longer retention may be necessary to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
11. Data Retention
Technical logs are retained according to the logging settings described above. Cloudflare data is subject to the relevant service-specific retention practices. Email correspondence is retained as described in Section 10.
12. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, subject to applicable conditions, you may exercise rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and, where applicable, data portability.
Contact: [email protected].
You may also lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority.
