Privacy Policy — Champions Community

Last updated: 22/10/2026

This policy explains how Champions Community (“we,” “us”) handles personal data collected through our website and our WhatsApp group integration.

What we collect

• Account information you provide when registering (name, email)
• Your WhatsApp phone number, if you choose to link it to join a WhatsApp-synced group
• Messages you post on the website or send via WhatsApp within a group you’ve joined
• Anonymous website usage statistics (see “Website statistics” below)

How we use it

• To relay messages between your website account and the WhatsApp group(s) you’ve joined
• To display group discussions on the website
• To understand how the website is used, so that we can improve it
• We do not sell or share your phone number with third parties outside of what’s required to operate the WhatsApp integration (Meta/WhatsApp, as the messaging provider)

Website statistics

To understand how our website is used, we use Matomo Analytics. Matomo runs on our own web server: the data is not shared with Matomo or with any other party.

• We use Matomo without cookies, so we do not place any cookies on your device for statistics.
• Your IP address is truncated immediately (2 of the 4 parts are masked), so it can no longer be linked to you.
• We measure pages visited, referring sites, device and browser type, and approximate location (country).
• These statistics are kept only as long as needed to improve the website.
• Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

You can opt out of this measurement here:

Your choices

• You can leave a group at any time, which stops message relay for your number
• You can opt out of website statistics using the form above
• You can request removal of your phone number and message history by contacting us at steven@smartcorrections.com

Data retention
Messages and phone numbers are retained for as long as your group membership is active, or until you request deletion. Anonymous website statistics are retained only as long as needed to improve the website.

Requesting data deletion
To request deletion of your account data, phone number, and message history, email steven@smartcorrections.com with the subject “Data deletion request.” We’ll confirm and remove your data within 30 days.
