What we process and why

When you visit this website, our hosting provider processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver the page securely (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We do not use tracking cookies, analytics or advertising pixels.

Newsletter and free ebooks

If you sign up on our home page, you enter your email address, choose your position (defender, midfielder and/or striker) and may add your first name. We use them to send you our free ebooks and, once you have confirmed, our newsletter: new free ebooks and occasional tips for your position. We save your chosen positions so that we can send you content that fits them, and your first name (if given) to greet you in our emails. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). We use double opt-in: you first receive a confirmation email, and only after you click the button in it are you on the list.

You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email or by writing to info@grindplayers.com; we then remove your address. Until then we store your address, your first name (if given), your chosen positions, the time of signup and confirmation, and which emails were sent to you.
