Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how SportsBret News ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit sportsbret.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us directly — for example, your name, email address, and message when you use our contact form, or your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter.

Information collected automatically — when you visit the Site, we and our third-party partners (including Google) may automatically collect:

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and referring website
  • Cookie identifiers and similar tracking technologies (see our Cookie Policy for full details)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • Respond to your messages and contact form submissions
  • Send newsletter emails, if you've subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time)
  • Understand how visitors use the Site through analytics
  • Serve advertising, including personalized advertising where you have given consent
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or technical issues

3. Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on the Site. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Where required by law (including for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before any advertising or analytics cookies are set, using the cookie banner shown on this Site. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and review your options, at Google's Business Data Responsibility page. You can also manage your Google ad personalization settings directly at adssettings.google.com, or opt out of personalized advertising more broadly via the Digital Advertising Alliance or Your Online Choices (EU).

4. Cookies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies. For a full breakdown of which cookies we use, what they do, and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy.

5. Your Rights — EEA, UK & Switzerland (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Erase your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Restrict or object to certain processing
  • Data portability — receive your data in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting prior processing
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 8 below.

6. Your Rights — California & Other US States (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, and share
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising (which includes the use of certain advertising cookies)
  • Non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights

You can opt out of advertising cookies at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer, or by rejecting non-essential cookies in the consent banner.

7. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Data Retention & International Transfers

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Because we use services such as Google AdSense, your information may be processed in countries outside your own, including the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

9. 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. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
