Hey there. Punk Rock Sports does not believe in hiding behind legal jargon. Here is the real deal on how we treat your data — no corporate doublespeak, just honest answers.
What Gets Logged When You Visit?
Your browser sends us technical details automatically — things like your IP, what device and browser you are running, which page sent you our way, and when you showed up. Our servers record all of that to keep things running, spot problems, and get a general sense of who is reading what.
What About Stuff You Tell Us Directly?
If you sign up for our email list, drop a comment, or shoot us a message through a form, you are giving us whatever info you type in — typically an email and maybe a name. We only use that for exactly what you would expect: sending the emails you asked for or replying to your message.
Yeah, We Use Cookies
Cookies are those little browser files everyone warns you about. Ours do two things: keep the site working properly (session stuff, preferences) and help us count visitors. You can nuke them in your browser settings anytime — the site will still work, you just might see a preference popup again.
Do We Track You with Analytics?
We use standard analytics tools to figure out which articles hit and which ones flop. The data is crunched into charts and numbers — nobody sits there reading individual browsing histories. The analytics companies have their own privacy docs if you want the fine print.
Do We Sell Your Info?
Absolutely not. Zero, none, never. A few tech vendors help us with hosting and email delivery — they see only what they need and nothing more. If a court hands us a valid order, we comply with the law. That is the complete list of scenarios.
EU Readers: Here Are Your GDPR Rights
Living in the EU or EEA? You have got some solid protections. You can ask to see all the data we have on you, fix anything wrong, get it deleted, tell us to stop processing it, or grab a portable copy. Just email us and we will sort it out within 30 days.
California Readers: CCPA Has You Covered
If you are in California, state law gives you the right to know what personal info we collected, why, and to tell us to trash it. We will not treat you any differently for asking. Hit us up at the email below.
How Long Do We Keep Things?
Server logs get wiped after about two months. Email list data sticks around until you unsubscribe. The anonymous stats from analytics? Those stick around because they are just numbers with no names attached.
Kids and This Site
Punk Rock Sports is for grown-ups who dig sports news. We are not trying to collect data from anyone under 16. If that somehow happens, let us know and we will fix it fast.
Will This Policy Change?
Maybe. If it does, the new version lands right here with a fresh date on top. No sneaky edits — you can always check back.
