HSF Time (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates hsftime.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Newsletter signup: If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we collect your email address (and any name you provide) to send you updates, rankings, and scores.
- Comments: If you leave a comment on a post, we collect the name, email address, and website (if provided) you enter, along with your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. Your comment and display name will be publicly visible.
Information Collected Automatically
- Analytics: We use Google Analytics (or a similar analytics service) to understand how visitors use the Site — pages viewed, time on site, general location (city/region level), device and browser type, and referring website. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you by name.
- Cookies: The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics, remembering preferences, and serving ads. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work properly without them.
Advertising
This Site displays ads served by Google AdSense and possibly other third-party ad networks. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- To send newsletter emails to subscribers (you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email)
- To moderate and display comments
- To understand site traffic and reader interests so we can plan better coverage
- To serve relevant advertising through our ad partners
Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with the third-party service providers described above (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, our email newsletter provider) solely to operate those features. These providers have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data.
Your Choices
- Newsletter: Unsubscribe anytime using the link at the bottom of any email we send.
- Cookies: Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Ad personalization: Use the opt-out links above.
- Comments: Contact us to request removal of a comment you submitted.
Children’s Privacy
While our content covers high school sports, this Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Data Retention
We retain comment and newsletter data for as long as needed to provide those features, or until you ask us to delete it. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider’s default retention settings.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to opt out of certain data uses (for example, under the EU’s GDPR or California’s CCPA/CPRA). To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.
