Updates to our Privacy Policy

Thursday 19 Mar 2026

As part of our commitment to transparency, we have updated our Privacy Policy to provide more information on how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

What's changed?

The updated Privacy Policy includes the following improvements:

• More details on when we receive personal data from third parties

This includes clearer explanations of the types of third parties involved and the circumstances where data may be shared with us.

• Additional information on how we use your data depending on your interactions with us

For example, we’ve added further detail on specific situations, such as how we handle and use CCTV footage, or how we may use your data if you are part of an FA disciplinary process.

• A new dedicated section on marketing and social media advertising (opt-in only)

This explains how we may use personal data for marketing purposes, including social media advertising, but only where you have chosen to opt in.

What you need to do

You don’t need to take any action, but we encourage you to review the updated Privacy Policy so you’re aware of the changes.

You can read the full updated policy here: www.thefa.com/public/privacy, which also includes contact information should you have any questions or wish to exercise any of your data protection rights.
