Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 28, 2026 • Last Updated: October 1, 2026
theshubmangill.com does not require user registration, account creation, or logins. You can browse articles, match logs and statistics without creating an account. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personally identifiable information. We do collect limited technical and correspondence data as described below, including standard analytics, contact-form submissions, and third-party advertising cookies.
1. Standard Server Log Files
Like virtually all standard web hosting architectures, our web servers and first-party analytics collect limited technical information when you access the site. This includes:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, stored only as a one-way cryptographic hash for unique-visitor counts (they cannot be reversed to recover the original IP)
- Browser type, device class, and operating system signals from the user-agent string
- Referring websites and general timestamp logs
- Pages viewed, on-site click events, and aggregate engagement metrics
This technical data is used for server health monitoring, abuse prevention, understanding which editorial pages are read, and diagnosing network issues. Google Analytics may also run when a measurement ID is configured, which is a third-party analytics service subject to Google's privacy policy.
2. Contact Form Submissions
If you send a message through our contact form, we collect the name, email address, optional organization, inquiry category, and message you provide. That correspondence is stored so the editorial desk can reply and is emailed to our operators when email dispatch is configured.
Submitting the form is optional. Do not include sensitive personal information you do not want stored with your inquiry.
2b. Match Alert Notifications
If you click "Turn on alerts" and allow notifications, your browser creates a push subscription (an anonymous device token, not your name or email). We use OneSignal, a third-party notification service, to store that token, your alert choices (match-day reminders and milestone alerts) and to deliver alerts. OneSignal also records basic technical data such as browser type, language and approximate country. See OneSignal's privacy policy.
Alerts are optional and we only ask after you click the button. To stop them, block notifications for theshubmangill.com in your browser or phone settings; the subscription is then removed.
3. Third-Party Advertising & Affiliate Cookies
While this website is not a social network and does not require a login, first-party analytics and third-party partners may use cookies, pixels, and tracking beacons:
A. Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookies
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve advertisements based on prior visits to this website and other sites across the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve targeted ads based on your browsing patterns.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or through the AboutAds.info opt-out portal.
B. Affiliate Marketing Tracking Cookies
When you click on equipment links in our "Player's Kit & Match Gear" showcase, an affiliate tracking cookie with a standard 30-day attribution window may be placed by the respective retailer (such as CEAT, New Balance, or sports equipment distributors). This cookie verifies that a qualifying purchase originated from our site, permitting us to receive a small referral commission at no additional cost to you.
4. User Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA / CPRA)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you retain rights regarding your digital privacy:
- Right to Know / Access: Confirm whether personal data is processed.
- Right to Delete: Request erasure of any communication inquiries submitted.
- Do Not Sell My Info: We do not sell personal data to third parties.
