Privacy Policy

How Argentina Out handles petition signatures and technical data.

Last updated: 2026-07-14

Overview

Argentina Out is an independent fan petition. This policy explains the limited information used to count signatures, prevent duplicate submissions, and protect the site from abuse.

What the Petition Stores

When you vote, the petition database stores:

  • An anonymous supporter label.
  • A one-way SHA-256 hash derived from a browser-generated voter ID.
  • A one-way SHA-256 hash derived from your network address and a private server secret.
  • The time of your vote.

When you use the GOAT poll, the database stores your selected player, a one-way hash derived from your network address and a private server secret, and the vote time. This is used to limit the poll to one vote per network identity.

The petition does not ask for or store your name, email address, country, or raw IP address. The browser-generated voter ID is converted to a one-way hash before the vote is saved.

Why We Process This Information

We use this limited data to:

  • Count genuine petition votes.
  • Prevent the same browser voter ID from voting repeatedly.
  • Reduce automated or rapid repeat submissions.
  • Maintain the security and availability of the site.

Infrastructure and Technical Logs

The site and database are hosted using Cloudflare services. Cloudflare may process standard request information, including network and device data, to deliver and secure the service. Its handling of that information is governed by its own policies.

Sharing and Sale

We do not sell petition data or use petition votes for marketing. Data may be disclosed if required by law or necessary to protect the service and its users.

Retention

Vote records may be retained while the petition remains active and for a reasonable period afterward to preserve the integrity of the count. Security logs are retained according to the hosting provider's settings.

Your Choices

Voting is optional. Because the petition is anonymous and has no account system, we cannot connect an individual vote back to your identity or retrieve it through an email address.

Children

This petition is not directed to children under 16. Do not submit information if you are not old enough to consent to this processing in your country.

Changes

We may update this policy as the service changes. The date above shows the latest revision.

Independence Notice

Argentina Out is not affiliated with FIFA, any football association, tournament organizer, national team, or player.
