Welcome to WAWAW News. We respect your privacy and aim to keep this policy clear and straightforward.

1. Who we are

WAWAW News is a Sheffield Wednesday news and editorial website. WAWAW News is also available as an Android app.

2. Information we collect

WAWAW News does not currently offer user accounts, public comments, or newsletter signups.

Limited technical information may still be processed automatically when you use the website or app. This can include:

• IP address
• browser and device information

3. How we use information

Any limited technical information is used only for purposes such as:

We do not currently use visitor information for marketing or profiling.

4. Mobile app and push notifications

The WAWAW News Android app may display content from wawaw.news within an in-app browser or embedded web experience.

If you allow notifications, the app may use Firebase Cloud Messaging or a similar notification delivery service to send breaking news, match updates, and other app notifications.

This may involve processing a device push token or similar identifier required to deliver notifications to your device.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

WAWAW News may use cookies or similar technologies for necessary site functionality and, where enabled by the user, functional features, analytics, and advertising preferences.

Where the app displays content from our website, cookies or similar technologies may also be used as part of that experience.

Users can manage their cookie preferences at any time through the Cookie Settings option available on the site.

6. Third-party services and embedded content

The website and app may rely on third-party providers such as hosting, infrastructure, content delivery, and notification services in order to operate.

Some content may also include third-party embedded media, such as YouTube videos. Those services may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies and cookie practices when you interact with that content.

The WAWAW News app does not currently display third-party advertising within the app itself.

7. Data retention

Any technical logs or limited operational data are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, and troubleshooting purposes.

8. Your rights

Where applicable, you may have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, erasure, or restriction of processing.
