A plain-language summary of how ComeNewsSports collects, uses and protects data on this site.
Three categories, each handled differently. The detail below is the long-form explanation.
Server logs
Every request to this site is logged by our hosting provider for security and capacity-planning purposes. Logs are retained for up to 30 days and are not used for advertising. Where required by law, logs may be shared with the relevant authority.
Email subscriptions
If you subscribe to the Sports Briefing, we store your email address and your opt-in preferences (morning summary, match alerts, weekly long read). You can unsubscribe from any combination with a single click from the footer of any alert email. We do not sell or share email addresses with third parties.
Editorial tips
Tips sent to the desk are read by the editor and the relevant reporter. They are stored on a closed system, not shared with third parties, and not used for marketing. Where a tip is itself a story, the source's identity is protected under our sourcing rules.
ComeNewsSports keeps its use of cookies and trackers minimal. The summary below explains what is set, why, and how to opt out.
Functional cookies
A small set of functional cookies remember your mobile-drawer state and your last-read article. These cookies do not track you across other sites.
Analytics
We use a first-party analytics tool that does not share data with third parties. The tool measures aggregate traffic and reading patterns. You can opt out by enabling your browser's Do-Not-Track setting or by using a tracker-blocking extension.
Advertising
Where advertising appears on the site, it is clearly labelled and is served by a vetted partner. Advertising partners do not set tracking cookies on this site beyond what is needed to serve the ad slot. You can opt out of personalised advertising through your browser or via the partner's own controls.
Where applicable law grants you rights over your data, you can exercise them via the routes below.
Access and portability
You can request a copy of the data we hold on you. We aim to respond within 30 days.
Erasure
You can request deletion of the data we hold on you, subject to legal retention requirements for editorial records.
Correction
You can request correction of the data we hold on you. The corrections route for editorial content is on the contact page.
Complaint
You can complain to the relevant supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. We would prefer the chance to address the issue first; write to the editor via the contact page.
For data requests, write to the editor.
A short note on the reasoning behind the site's data-handling choices and the changes we are tracking for the year ahead.
ComeNewsSports is an editorial publication, not a platform. The data we collect is limited to what we need to run the site, to publish the email subscription the reader has opted into, and to keep the site secure. We do not run advertising trackers across the wider web, we do not share email addresses with third parties, and we do not use third-party retargeting pixels on this site. Where a piece of data is not needed, we do not collect it.
Server logs are retained for up to 30 days for security and capacity-planning purposes, and are not used for advertising. Email subscription preferences are stored against the reader's opt-in and can be changed at any time from the footer of any alert email. Editorial tips are read by the editor and the relevant reporter and are stored on a closed system; they are not shared with third parties and are not used for marketing.
The privacy policy is reviewed annually by the editor. Material changes are summarised at the top of this page; the older version is preserved in the page revision history. Where applicable law grants rights over data — access, portability, erasure, correction — the contact page lists the routes to exercise them.
