This policy explains how CelticFCBars.com collects, uses, stores, and protects information across supporter accounts, forum activity, submissions, edit requests, contact forms, maps, videos, and analytics tools.
Overview
CelticFCBars.com is an independent supporter project built to help Celtic fans discover Celtic-friendly bars, supporters clubs, matchday venues, community discussion, and club-related media around the world.
We are not operated by, endorsed by, or officially connected to Celtic Football Club. Club names, badges, trademarks, and related branding remain the property of their respective owners.
Collection
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect details that you submit directly, including your name, username, email address, supporter club details, venue details, suggested edits, contact form messages, forum posts, uploaded images, logos, and moderation notes linked to submissions.
We may also collect standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, visited pages, referral source, and timestamps for security, anti-spam, moderation, performance, and troubleshooting.
Accounts
If you register an account or participate in the forum, some profile information and anything you post publicly may be visible to other visitors. This can include your username, public profile elements, forum posts, discussion history, and approved listing contributions.
Personal email addresses are not displayed publicly simply because you submit an edit, claim a listing, use a contact form, or suggest an update. Admins and moderators may review submission data privately for verification and moderation.
Submissions
Users may submit new bars, pubs, CSC listings, corrections, claims, closures, images, matchday information, and update requests. These submissions can be stored inside WordPress for moderation, approval workflows, duplicate review, and audit history.
By submitting content, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge. Submission does not guarantee publication, and we may edit, reject, remove, or archive content where necessary for quality, accuracy, legal, or moderation reasons.
Use of Data
We use collected information to operate the website, manage accounts, review submissions, moderate forum content, send administrative or moderation emails, improve map and directory accuracy, prevent abuse, investigate security issues, and improve user experience.
We may also use information to maintain edit histories, verify listing ownership or authenticity, process community suggestions, and generate internal reports about site quality and content completeness.
Cookies
CelticFCBars.com may use cookies and similar technologies to keep users logged in, remember settings, support form handling, improve performance, reduce spam, and help the site function correctly across account, forum, submission, and browsing features.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect account, forum, submission, and other interactive features.
Third Parties
The website may integrate with third-party services and platforms such as WordPress, wpForo, YouTube, TheSportsDB, Google Maps links, OpenStreetMap or map tile providers, email delivery tools, analytics tools, spam-protection tools, and social or media embeds.
Those services may process information according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the policies of any third-party service you interact with through the site.
Accuracy
We work to keep listings accurate, but we cannot guarantee opening hours, exact venue availability, club status, event schedules, supporter club activity, map precision, ownership, or contact details at all times.
Supporters should independently confirm important details before travelling, attending events, relying on venue availability, or contacting third parties.
Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect stored information, including moderation controls, submission review workflows, rate limits, anti-spam checks, and access restrictions for administrative actions.
However, no website, platform, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Information is shared and submitted at your own risk.
Your Rights
If you need to request a correction, removal, clarification, or privacy-related update, you can contact us directly. We may ask for reasonable verification before changing account-related or listing-related information.
Changes
This policy may be updated as CelticFCBars.com develops. Updates will be published on this page and should be read together with the site disclaimer and any feature-specific notices shown on account, submission, or forum screens.
