Last updated: August 20, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how The Rugby Highlights (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects and uses information when you visit https://therugbyhighlights.com. We run a spoiler-free rugby highlights website. We keep this policy concise and transparent.

1) Who we are

The Rugby Highlights (site owner/controller). For any privacy questions, contact us at: admin@therugbyhighlights.com.

2) What we collect

2.1 Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand site usage (pages viewed, time on page, referrers, device/browser, approximate location). We have IP anonymization enabled so your full IP isn’t stored by Analytics.

2.2 Embedded videos (YouTube)

We embed videos hosted by YouTube. Loading or playing a video may allow YouTube (Google) to collect usage data and set cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

2.3 Server logs

Our hosting/platform may automatically record technical logs (e.g., IP address, user agent, date/time) for security and performance.

2.4 Information you provide

If you contact us (e.g., by email), we’ll process the information you send solely to respond to your query.

3) Why we use your data (legal bases)

4) Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential cookies and, with your consent, analytics cookies. YouTube embeds may set cookies when played. For full details and how to manage preferences, see our Cookie Policy.

5) Sharing and third parties

We don’t sell your personal information. Standard service providers (hosting/CDN, error monitoring) may process data under our instructions to operate the site.

6) International transfers

Google and other providers may process data on servers outside your country. Google relies on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. See Google’s policies linked below.

7) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above. Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics settings (e.g., 14 months, unless configured otherwise). Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your request.

8) Your rights

Depending on your location (e.g., EU/UK), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing; to object to processing; and to withdraw consent at any time (withdrawal doesn’t affect prior lawful processing). You can also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.

To exercise rights, contact: admin@therugbyhighlights.com.

9) California privacy

If you’re a California resident, you may have rights to know, delete, and non-discrimination. We do not sell your personal information as defined by CPRA.

10) Children’s privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 13 (or under the age required by local law), and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information.

11) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll post the new version here with an updated “Last updated” date.
