Privacy Policy — Sports Breaking News
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Sports Breaking News ("we", "us", or "our"), operated at sportsbreakingnew.com, collects, uses, and protects information when you use our sports news aggregation service. We do not require account registration to read headlines on our site. By continuing to use the service, you acknowledge this policy.
2. Who we are
Sports Breaking News is a digital news radar that automatically collects and ranks publicly available sports headlines from independent publishers. We are an aggregator and discovery platform; we are not the original publisher of third-party articles.
3. Information we collect
3.1 Server and security logs
Like most websites, our servers and edge infrastructure may record technical data necessary to operate the service securely, including IP address, browser user-agent, requested URL, referrer, approximate timing, and error diagnostics. We use this data for security, abuse prevention, capacity planning, and troubleshooting.
3.2 Usage on the site
We may process anonymous or pseudonymous interaction signals that are intrinsic to operating a ranked feed (for example, which headline identifiers received clicks) so we can order stories and measure aggregate interest. We do not sell personal profiles.
3.3 Outbound redirects
Article links may route through our redirect endpoint (for example, /r/[article-id]) for operational measurement. We do not profile you across unrelated websites.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners use cookies, local storage, and comparable browser technologies where necessary to:
- remember your selected site language;
- deliver and measure advertising through certified ad networks;
- maintain security and rate-limit abusive traffic;
- understand aggregated traffic through analytics (such as Yandex.Metrica), where enabled.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may limit language persistence or ad personalisation but should not prevent access to core headline browsing.
5. Advertising and third-party ad networks
We monetise parts of our site through programmatic advertising, including units served by the Yandex Advertising Network (YAN / RSЯ), Yandex Direct, and their demand partners, as well as other certified ad networks where enabled. Ad networks may set cookies or use similar identifiers to serve ads, limit frequency, measure impressions, and prevent fraud.
Yandex processing is described in the Yandex Privacy Policy (https://yandex.com/legal/confidential/). We do not control third-party ad networks' independent data practices.
6. Third-party publishers and links
Headlines, excerpts, thumbnails, and metadata originate from external news organisations. Those sites apply their own privacy policies when you leave Sports Breaking News.
7. Legal bases and retention (EEA / UK visitors)
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on legitimate interests to operate a free sports headline service, on consent where required for non-essential cookies or ads, and on legal obligations where we must retain security logs. We keep logs only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or aggregate them.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of personal data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise rights relating to data we control, email [email protected].
9. Children
The service is intended for a general audience interested in sports news. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child provided personal data to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or product changes. Material updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
