BroccoliSports.com is strictly a content-based sports news Website and does not engage in advertising technologies at this time.

When Does BroccoliSports.com Use End-User Information From Third Parties?

BroccoliSports.com does not receive personal information from third-party services about individual users.

The only third-party tools involved are:

  • Google Analytics – collects aggregated usage data;
  • Cloudflare – collects security and performance data.

Neither service provides us with personally identifiable information about you. We do not combine third-party data with personal identifiers because we do not collect such data.

Do We Share The Information We Collect With Third Parties?

We may share anonymous, non-identifiable analytics information with third-party service providers solely for operational purposes, including:

  • Google Analytics – traffic measurement;
  • Cloudflare – site speed optimization and security.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or disclose personal information (as we do not collect any). We do not share data with advertisers, affiliates, sponsors, or email marketing services.

Where and When Is Information Collected From Customers and End Users?

Information is collected only when you:

  • Browse BroccoliSports.com;
  • Interact with Website pages;
  • Load Website content.

We do not collect information through forms, accounts, sign-ups, or logins because these features do not exist on our site.

How Do We Use Your Email Address?

BroccoliSports.com does not collect or store email addresses. We do not send newsletters, marketing emails, updates, or communications.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We retain only anonymized analytics data according to:

  • Google Analytics default retention settings; and
  • Cloudflare’s standard security log retention.

We do not store personal information, therefore no personal retention schedule is required.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We implement industry-standard security measures to ensure the safety of the limited information we collect, including:

  • SSL encryption;
  • Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF);
  • Server-level malware monitoring;
  • Intrusion detection;
  • Secure hosting environment;
  • Regular backups.

Because we do not store personal data, the risk associated with privacy exposure is significantly reduced.

Could My Information Be Transferred To Other Countries?

Yes. Analytics tools and cloud services may store or process information in data centers outside the United States. By accessing BroccoliSports.com, you consent to this type of international data processing.

Is The Information Collected Through The Service Secure?

Yes. We use widely recognized security technologies (SSL, Cloudflare, firewalls) to safeguard the Website and its infrastructure. Because we do not retain personal data, the security obligations are focused on protecting browsing integrity and preventing malicious access.

Can I Update Or Correct My Information?

Information About General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Why We Collect Limited Information

We collect limited, non-personal technical information from visitors in the European Economic Area solely for Website performance, security, analytics, and improving user experience.

What is GDPR?

GDPR is an EU law that protects personal data belonging to individuals in the EU. It emphasizes transparency, lawful processing, data minimization, security, and the right to control personal data.

What Is Personal Data?

Personal data relates to identifiable individuals. BroccoliSports.com does not collect personal data, but we support GDPR principles and comply with applicable requirements related to analytics technologies.

Why GDPR Is Important

GDPR helps ensure transparency, prevents misuse of data, emphasizes purpose limitations, and requires user control over personal data. While we collect no personal data, we still honor GDPR-related rights upon request.

Individual Data Subject’s Rights — Data Access, Portability and Deletion

Because BroccoliSports.com does not collect identifiable information, rights such as access, correction, and deletion generally do not apply.

However, in compliance with GDPR principles, you may contact us if you believe that any analytics data has been linked to your identity unintentionally. We respond to all rights requests within legal timelines.

  • Right to Know what information is collected (only anonymous analytics);
  • Right to Delete personal information (we store none);
  • Right to Non-Discrimination for exercising these rights;
