Privacy and Ownership

Who runs this

Bay Area Sports Blog is an independently owned and operated site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or funded by any team, league, network or sportsbook. Editorial decisions are made by Bay Area Sports Blog staff and by nobody else.

How it is funded

The site currently runs no advertising, no sponsored posts, no affiliate placements and no paid subscriptions. If any of that changes, it will be disclosed on this page and labelled in the stories it affects, before it runs.

What data this site collects

Bay Area Sports Blog is a static site. There are no accounts, no logins, no newsletter list and no analytics or advertising trackers on these pages. You can read the entire site without giving it anything.

Like any site on the internet, the hosting provider that serves these pages may keep standard server logs, which typically include an IP address, a timestamp and the page requested. That is the hosting provider's normal operation, not a profile this site builds or uses.

Third-party content

Where a page embeds a video from an official league channel, that provider serves the video and may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy. Nothing about that embed is controlled by this site.

Photos and rights

Photo credits and licences are listed on the about page. If you hold rights to an image used here and want it credited differently or removed, use the contact page and it will be handled.

Questions
