Pitch & Ledger respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it may be used, and the choices available to you when you visit our website or subscribe to our publication.

1. About Pitch & Ledger

Pitch & Ledger is an independent sports-business publication.

Our website is powered by Ghost and currently hosted through Magic Pages. We may also use third-party service providers to operate the website, deliver email, maintain security and provide other technical services.

You are not required to subscribe in order to read publicly available content.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, our hosting, publishing and infrastructure providers may automatically process technical information such as:

• IP address;
• browser and device type;
• operating system;
• pages visited;
• date and time of access;
• referring website;

This information may be used to operate, secure and understand the performance of the website.

3. How we use information

We may use information collected through Pitch & Ledger to:

• protect the website against abuse, fraud and security threats;

We do not use subscriber information for purposes unrelated to operating or developing Pitch & Ledger without an appropriate basis for doing so.

When you subscribe, Ghost may send a confirmation or sign-in link to the email address you provide.

Newsletter emails may contain information necessary to deliver and manage your subscription.

You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.

Unsubscribing from marketing or editorial emails does not necessarily require the immediate deletion of all records associated with your account where retention is required for security, administration or legal purposes.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Pitch & Ledger and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for functions such as:

• subscriber authentication;
• security;
• session management;
• website operation.

We may also use limited technical or aggregate analytics to understand website performance.

If Pitch & Ledger later introduces non-essential advertising, tracking or analytics technologies that require consent, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide appropriate consent controls where required.

6. Service providers

We rely on third-party providers to operate parts of Pitch & Ledger.

These may include providers responsible for:

• website publishing and membership functionality;
• web hosting and infrastructure;
• email delivery;
• security and performance;
• analytics where enabled.

These providers may process personal information only as necessary to provide their services and according to their own contractual and legal obligations.

7. Third-party links

Articles may contain links to external websites, reports, documents, social platforms and other third-party services.

Pitch & Ledger is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites. You should review the privacy policies of those services separately.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining subscriptions, operating the website, resolving disputes, maintaining security and meeting applicable legal requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

9. International data processing

Some of the service providers used by Pitch & Ledger may process or store information in countries other than the country in which you live.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.

10. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

• request access to information we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of your information;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• request a portable copy of certain information.

These rights may be subject to applicable legal exceptions.

You may unsubscribe from newsletter emails at any time using the link provided in those messages.

11. Children’s privacy

Pitch & Ledger is intended for a general audience and is not designed specifically for children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental or guardian consent would be required by applicable law.

12. Security

We and our service providers use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal information.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Pitch & Ledger, its technology or its services evolve.

When material changes are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised.
