Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy

At MARANOVO, we understand the importance of protecting children’s personal information and respecting the trust placed in us by parents, guardians and football clubs.

Many of our publications celebrate the achievements of young footballers and grassroots teams. We are committed to handling children’s personal information responsibly, securely and in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

This Children’s Privacy Statement explains how we collect, use and safeguard information relating to children who may feature in MARANOVO publications and services.
