Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 11, 2026
1. Introduction
gormahiafc.com is an independent, unofficial informational portal covering Gor Mahia FC – founded in 1968 in Nairobi and the most successful football club in Kenyan history, with over twenty Kenyan Premier League titles and multiple SportPesa Cup and Kenyan FA Cup trophies to its name.
This website has no official affiliation with Gor Mahia FC, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF), or the Kenyan Premier League (KPL). All content – match analysis, squad updates, historical records, and club news – is published for informational and entertainment purposes only.
This Privacy Policy explains what data gormahiafc.com collects from visitors based in Kenya and other countries, why it is collected, and how it is handled. By continuing to use this website, users agree to the terms set out below. Users in Kenya are advised that this policy is consistent with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019, which governs the collection and processing of personal data in Kenya.
2. Information We Collect
gormahiafc.com collects only the data necessary to operate and improve the portal. No payment or financial information is collected at any point.
Technical data collected automatically on each visit includes: IP address, browser type and version, device operating system, pages visited, referring URL, and session duration. This data is gathered passively via third-party analytics tools and requires no action from the user.
Personal data submitted voluntarily – such as a name or email address entered through a contact or subscription form – is collected only when a user actively provides it. Submission of such data is never a condition for accessing content on the website.
gormahiafc.com does not collect data from children under 18 in accordance with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019. If such data is identified, it will be deleted immediately upon discovery.
3. How We Use Your Information
Data collected through gormahiafc.com is used for three purposes only:
- Site analytics – to understand which content attracts the most readers and improve the portal’s performance and relevance.
- User communication – to respond to contact form submissions or deliver newsletter updates where a user has subscribed. Unsubscribing is available at any time via the link in each email.
- Legal compliance – to respond to lawful requests from Kenyan or international authorities where required under applicable law, including the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.
No user data is sold, rented, or shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
