Privacy Policy

Version 1.0 · Effective date: 6 November 2026

This policy explains how GAZETA SPORT SH.P.K. collects, uses and protects the personal data of visitors to the gazetasport.info news portal (the “Portal”, “we”, “us”). It applies to all language versions of the Portal (Albanian, English, German, French, Italian and Dutch).

The Portal has no user accounts, comments, newsletter or contact form. The data we process is therefore mainly technical data generated during your visit and data collected through cookies, only where you have given your consent.

1. Data controller

The controller of your personal data is:

For any question or request about privacy, please write to the email address above.

2. Legal framework

We process personal data in accordance with Law No. 06/L-082 on the Protection of Personal Data of the Republic of Kosovo. Because the Portal is also read by visitors in the European Union, Switzerland and other countries, we also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC), the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) for visitors from Switzerland, and, for visitors from the United States, the privacy laws of California and other U.S. states to the extent they apply to us (see Section 10).

3. What data we process and why

We do not sell your personal data and we do not process special categories of data (e.g. health, religious beliefs, political opinions).

4. Advertising

The Portal is funded by advertising. There are two types of ads:

• Google AdSense. These ads are served by Google. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. For visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, consent is collected through a Google-certified consent management platform (in line with the IAB TCF standard). If you do not consent, non-personalised or limited ads may be shown. You can read how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and turn off ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
• Banners managed by the Portal. Some ads are placed directly by our team under agreements with advertisers. These banners are served from our own servers, do not set cookies and do not give advertisers any personal data about you. We may count, in aggregate, how often a banner is shown and clicked, without identifying you. When you click a banner, you are taken to the advertiser’s website, where the advertiser’s own privacy policy applies.

5. Languages

The Portal is published in several languages: Albanian, English, German, French, Italian and Dutch. This policy applies equally to all language versions of the Portal.

6. Who we share data with

• Overstack (overstack.app): hosting and content management system of the Portal. Its servers are located in Berlin, Germany. Overstack processes data only on our instructions, as a data processor.
• Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC (USA): Google Analytics 4 and Google AdSense.
• Public authorities, only where required by law.

7. International data transfers

Some data is processed in Germany (Overstack) and, through Google, may also be transferred to the United States. Germany is part of the EU and offers a high level of protection. For transfers to the United States, Google relies on the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

8. Your rights

You have the right to:

• request access to the data we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate data;
• request deletion of your data;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to processing based on legitimate interest;
• request data portability;
• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You can do this via the “Manage cookies” link at the bottom of every page.

To exercise these rights, write to us at [email protected]. We will reply within 30 days. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information and Privacy Agency (AIP) of the Republic of Kosovo or, if you live in the EU or Switzerland, with the data protection supervisory authority in your country.

9. Children

The Portal is not directed at children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us data, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. For readers in the United States

This section supplements the policy for visitors residing in the United States, including California (California Online Privacy Protection Act – CalOPPA and California Consumer Privacy Act – CCPA/CPRA, to the extent they apply to us).

• The data we collect is described in Section 3: technical visit data, cookies and, only if you write to us, your name, email and message.
• We do not sell your personal information for money. However, Google’s advertising cookies may be considered “sharing” of data for advertising under the laws of some states. You can opt out at any time via the “Manage cookies” link at the bottom of the page or at adssettings.google.com.
• Third parties such as Google may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when they serve ads or measure visits (see Sections 4 and 6).
• “Do Not Track” signals. The Portal does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals, because there is no common standard for them. You can manage your cookie choices via “Manage cookies”.
• Your rights. Depending on the law of your state of residence, you may have the right to know what data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it and to opt out of its sharing for advertising. Send your request to [email protected]. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
• Children. The Portal is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act – COPPA).

11. Security

We and our processors use technical and organisational measures to protect data, such as encrypted connections (HTTPS), access restrictions and backups. No system on the internet is completely secure, but we work continuously to keep the risk as low as possible.

12. Links to other websites

The Portal contains links to third-party websites (e.g. news sources, social networks, advertisers). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend that you read their policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The new version will be published on this page with a new date. For significant changes, we will also inform you on the Portal.
