隐私政策

最后更新:2026年11月4日

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Halftime Hits (sportnests.com, the “Website”) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the Website you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. Information We Collect

a. Information you provide directly

  • Newsletter signup: when you subscribe on our homepage, sidebar, or Subscribe page we collect your email address (and name, if you choose to give one). We use it only to send you new articles.
  • Contact page: when you email us we receive the email address you send from, and anything else you include in the message.

b. Information collected automatically

  • Analytics: we use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand which articles are read, where readers come from, and how long they stay. GA4 may collect your IP address (truncated), device and browser type, pages viewed, and referral source. You can opt out at Google Analytics Opt-Out.
  • Advertising: we display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising in your Google Ads Settings. Ad impressions are counted when ads load.
  • Server logs: our hosting provider records standard access logs (IP address, browser user agent, pages requested, timestamps). These are used for security and performance, not for building personal profiles.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • To deliver the newsletter you requested.
  • To reply to contact messages.
  • To measure site traffic and improve content (aggregate statistics).
  • To serve and measure advertising, which funds free access to all our articles.
  • To keep the Website secure and functional.

3. Cookies

We use cookies in the following categories:

  • Essential: small technical cookies required for the site to work.
  • Analytics: Google Analytics cookies that count visits and engagement.
  • Advertising: Google AdSense cookies used to serve and measure ads.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may break some site features.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. The following third parties may process data as described above, each with its own privacy policy:

  • Google — AdSense advertising and GA4 analytics (google.com/policies/privacy).
  • Hostinger — web hosting and infrastructure (hostinger.com/legal).

Advertising partners may use cookies to recognize your browser for remarketing purposes; this is industry standard and governed by Google’s policies.

5. Data Retention

  • Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe.
  • Analytics data is retained by Google under its retention policy; we see only aggregate reports.
  • Server logs are kept for a limited period by our host for security.

6. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws) you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal data we hold about you.
  • Request a copy or deletion of your data.
  • Object to processing or ask us to restrict it.
  • Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email.

To exercise any of these rights, email arham.nasir@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy Request”. We respond within 30 days. We will never delete or punish anyone who exercises privacy rights.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will remove it.

8. International Transfers

Our site is hosted in the EU and analytics/ads run on Google’s global infrastructure, which means data may be processed in the United States and other countries. We rely on standard contractual and legal safeguards used for such transfers.

9. Security

We use SSL encryption (HTTPS) on the entire site, administrative access controls, and automated hosting security monitoring. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your data with commercially reasonable measures.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Website after changes means you accept the updated policy.
