Last Updated: March 20, 2026

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online.

PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect, or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our multi-sports news and information website, SportsCrease.com.

When visiting our sports website, contacting us, or engaging with our multi-sport content on SportsCrease.com, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, sports preferences, favorite teams or players, or other details to help enhance your sports information experience.

We collect this information primarily when you reach out to us through our contact forms or email us directly regarding our articles, match reports, player statistics, or tournament coverage across cricket, football/soccer, basketball, tennis, NFL, NHL, MLB, UFC/MMA, F1, and other major sports.

We may also collect information about your sports interests, preferred sports or leagues, favorite international or domestic teams, preferred tournaments (such as the World Cup, Super Bowl, NBA Finals, Champions League, IPL, or other major sports competitions), and reading preferences to help us deliver more relevant sports content that aligns with your interests.

It’s important to note that SportsCrease.com does not currently offer user account registration or newsletter subscription services.

Therefore, we do not collect information through account creation or email subscription processes. The primary way we collect personal information is through direct communication when you contact us via email or contact forms.

When Do We Collect Information?

We collect information from you when you visit our sports website, fill out a contact form, send us an email inquiry, comment on our sports articles (if commenting is enabled), share our sports content on social media platforms, or interact with our website features.

Additionally, we automatically collect certain technical information when you browse our sports news across cricket, football, basketball, tennis, NFL, NHL, MLB, UFC/MMA, F1, and other sports, read match reports, view player statistics, check tournament schedules, or access any pages on SportsCrease.com.

This automatic data collection occurs through cookies and tracking technologies that help us understand how visitors interact with our sports content, which articles are most popular, how long readers spend on different pages, and what types of sports information our audience finds most valuable.

We also collect information when you click on affiliate links, view advertisements, or engage with third-party content embedded on our website.

How Do We Use Your Information?

We may use the information we collect from you when you visit our website, contact us via email, respond to sports-related inquiries, browse sports articles, view match coverage, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

  • To personalize your sports experience: We analyze your browsing behavior to understand your sports interests and deliver content about your preferred sports, teams, players, and tournaments across cricket, football/soccer, basketball, tennis, NFL, NHL, MLB, UFC/MMA, F1, and other major sports. This helps us recommend relevant articles, match reports, and sports news that align with your interests.

We do NOT collect, store, or process any sensitive financial information such as credit card numbers, bank account details, or payment information on our platform. Since we do not process payments directly through our website, we do not implement PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance standards or vulnerability scanning related to financial transactions.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Therefore, while we implement reasonable security measures, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Do We Use Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enable the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

We use cookies to help us understand your sports preferences, remember your favorite sports content, and track your reading history on SportsCrease.com.

Cookies help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and sports content interaction so we can offer better website experiences and sports articles in the future.

They also enable us to understand which sports topics, teams, tournaments, and players generate the most interest among our readers across cricket, football, basketball, NFL, NHL, MLB, tennis, UFC/MMA, F1, and other major sports.

Third Party Disclosure and Data Sharing

We do NOT sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice and obtain your consent.

This does not include website hosting partners, sports data providers, analytics services, advertising networks, and other trusted third parties who assist us in operating our sports website, conducting our business, delivering sports content, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

The third-party services we work with include:

  • Website hosting providers: These companies host our website infrastructure and may have access to server logs and technical data.
  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic, user behavior, and content performance. Google Analytics collects data anonymously and provides us with insights about how visitors interact with our sports content.

  • Social media platforms: If we embed content from platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or YouTube, these platforms may set their own cookies and collect data according to their privacy policies.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our website policies, protect our rights or others’ rights, property, or safety, or assist in investigations of fraudulent or illegal activity.

Third Party Links to Other Websites

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party sports products, services, sports equipment recommendations, or links to other sports-related websites, sports news sources, official sports leagues (such as NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, Premier League, UEFA, ICC, FIFA, UFC, F1), or sports statistics platforms.

These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies over which we have no control or responsibility.

We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content, privacy practices, and activities of these linked sites.

Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our sports website and welcome any feedback about these third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit from links on SportsCrease.com.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) Compliance

CalOPPA is the first state law in the United States to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

  • Anonymous website visits: Users can visit our sports website anonymously without being required to provide personal information or create an account.
  • Privacy Policy accessibility: Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can be easily found on the homepage of SportsCrease.com and in our website footer on every page.
  • Privacy Policy updates: Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy page. We will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy whenever changes are made.
  • Personal information changes: Users can request changes to their personal information by emailing us directly at businessbuddykb@gmail.com. We will respond to such requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Compliance

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control and protects the privacy of children under 13 years of age.

We do not specifically market to children under 13 years of age.

Our sports content is designed for general audiences with an interest in sports news, match coverage, player information, and tournament updates across cricket, football, basketball, tennis, NFL, NHL, MLB, UFC/MMA, F1, and other major sports.

We do NOT knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at businessbuddykb@gmail.com.

Fair Information Practices and Data Breach Notification

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States, and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe.

To be in line with Fair Information Practices, should a data breach occur that compromises user personal information, we will take the following responsive action:

  • We will notify affected users via email within 7 business days of discovering the breach.
  • We will also provide notification through a prominent notice on our website within 7 business days.

The notification will include information about the nature of the breach, the types of information that were compromised, steps we are taking to address the breach, and recommendations for users to protect themselves.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law.

This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN-SPAM Act Compliance

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

Currently, SportsCrease.com does not operate an email newsletter service.

However, we may collect your email address when you contact us directly with inquiries, feedback, or support requests.

In such cases, we use your email address solely to respond to your specific inquiry and will not add you to any marketing lists without your explicit consent.

If we implement a newsletter service in the future, we commit to full CAN-SPAM compliance:

  • Honest email headers: Our emails will accurately identify the sender (SportsCrease.com) and will not contain misleading subject lines.
  • Clear identification: Marketing emails will be clearly identified as advertisements or promotional content.
  • Physical address inclusion: All marketing emails will include our physical business location.
  • Opt-out mechanism: We will provide a clear and conspicuous way to unsubscribe from future emails, and we will honor opt-out requests promptly within 10 business days.
  • Third-party compliance: If we hire third parties to handle our email marketing, we will ensure they comply with CAN-SPAM requirements.

To unsubscribe from any future correspondence, you can email us at businessbuddykb@gmail.com, and we will promptly remove you from all correspondence lists.
