Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how Football Pick Pulse ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit footballpickpulse.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Note: This policy is a good-faith template for an ad-supported informational website. It is not legal advice. Please review it — ideally with a qualified professional — and adjust it to your actual data practices and jurisdiction before publishing.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us, we collect the email address and any message you provide. We use it only to respond to you or send the updates you asked for.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect standard technical data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring site. This is used to operate, secure, and improve the Site.

Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies (small files stored on your device) to make the Site work, understand traffic, and support advertising. You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended without them.

Advertising and third-party vendors

We display advertising to keep the Site free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our Site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) or aboutads.info/choices.
• Third-party ad networks may also use cookies and similar technologies subject to their own privacy policies.

If we participate in the Google AdSense program, its data practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools (for example, privacy-respecting website analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate. These tools may set cookies or collect usage data as described above.

Affiliate links

Some links on the Site may be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a commission if you sign up with or purchase from a partner (such as a sportsbook) after clicking. This never changes what you pay, and it does not influence our picks or analysis. Clicking an affiliate link may pass standard referral information to that partner, whose privacy policy then applies.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, respond to your messages, send newsletters you request, measure and serve advertising, and keep the Site secure. We do not sell your personal information.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email. You can control cookies through your browser and opt out of personalized ads using the links above. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (such as access or deletion); contact us to make a request.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from children. Sports betting content is intended only for those 21 and older where legal.

Data retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here and take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and the "Last updated" date above will reflect the latest revision.
