Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
WHO WE ARE
The Graphs ("we", "us", "our") operates the-graphs.com, an AI-powered soccer intelligence newspaper covering La Liga and the Premier League. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable UK/EU data protection laws.
WHAT DATA WE COLLECT
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect:
- Email address — required for delivery
We do not collect names, phone numbers, payment details, or any data beyond what is listed above. We do not use tracking cookies or analytics that identify individual users.
HOW WE USE YOUR DATA
Your email address is used exclusively to send you:
- Signal alerts — when our knowledge graph detects a significant story
- Weekly digest — a summary of the best analysis from the past week
We will never use your email for any other purpose.
DATA PROCESSOR
Email data is stored and processed by Mailchimp (The Rocket Science Group LLC), our email service provider. Mailchimp acts as a data processor on our behalf. We do not store your email address in our own database. Mailchimp's data processing addendum is available at mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum.
DOUBLE OPT-IN
We use double opt-in for all subscriptions. After entering your email, you will receive a confirmation email. You must click the confirmation link before you are added to our mailing list. This ensures your consent is explicit and verifiable.
DATA RETENTION
We retain subscriber email addresses for as long as the subscription is active. Inactive subscribers (no email opens for 24 consecutive months) will be automatically removed from our list. Unsubscribed addresses are retained by Mailchimp in a suppression list to prevent re-subscription, as required by anti-spam regulations.
YOUR RIGHTS
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Unsubscribe — every email contains an unsubscribe link
- Access — request a copy of data we hold about you
- Erasure — request permanent deletion of your data
- Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
- Object — object to processing of your data
To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@the-graphs.com. We will respond within 30 days.
DATA SHARING
We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties. The only third party with access to your data is Mailchimp, our email service provider, acting under a data processing agreement.
