Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how neuro.co.za ("we", "our", or "the platform") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website or any of our subdomains including wc26.neuro.co.za, epl.neuro.co.za, f1.neuro.co.za, weather.neuro.co.za, and cricket.neuro.co.za.

By using neuro.co.za and its associated subdomains, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any personal data we collect with transparency and care.

1. Information We Collect

neuro.co.za is a read-only data platform — we do not require user registration, logins, or account creation of any kind. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information directly.

However, certain information may be collected automatically when you visit our site:

• Usage data: Browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs — collected anonymously through standard web analytics.
• IP address: Your IP address may be logged by our hosting provider and by third-party services such as Google AdSense for fraud prevention and geographic analytics purposes.
• Cookies: We and our advertising partners use cookies to personalise ads and measure ad performance. See Section 4 for more detail.

2. How We Use Information

The information collected is used for the following purposes:

• To understand how visitors use the platform and improve the user experience
• To serve relevant advertising through Google AdSense
• To monitor platform performance and identify technical issues
• To comply with legal obligations where required

We do not sell, trade, or rent any user data to third parties. We do not build individual user profiles or track users across unrelated websites for our own marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Data Sources

neuro.co.za displays live data sourced from third-party sports and weather APIs including football-data.org, OpenF1, Open-Meteo, and CricAPI. When your browser loads a tracker page, it may make direct API calls to these services. Your use of this data is also subject to those providers' own privacy policies.

These third-party APIs do not receive any personally identifiable information from us. The calls are purely data requests made by your browser to fetch sports or weather information.

4. Advertising & Cookies

neuro.co.za uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to neuro.co.za and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

The types of cookies used on neuro.co.za include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function correctly.
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand visitor behaviour anonymously.
• Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense to serve relevant ads.

5. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal accounts or user-generated content, there is no personal data stored on our servers to retain or delete. Analytics data is retained in aggregate, anonymised form in line with our analytics provider's standard data retention policies.

6. Children's Privacy

neuro.co.za is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

7. Your Rights (POPIA)

As a South African platform, neuro.co.za is subject to the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Under POPIA, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to the processing of your personal information
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa

Given that neuro.co.za does not collect personally identifiable information directly from users, most of the above rights apply primarily to data held by our third-party service providers (Google, analytics platforms, hosting providers) rather than by us directly.

8. Links to External Sites

Our trackers and blog posts may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the platform grows and new features are added. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
