What We Collect
Information we collect directly: We don't ask you to create an account and we don't collect names, emails, or other contact details.
Information collected automatically:
- Analytics (Plausible): Pageviews and basic usage metrics. Plausible is privacy-friendly and does not use cookies or store personal data for us. Data is aggregated.
- Technical data for delivery & security: Our hosting/CDN (e.g., Cloudflare) processes IP addresses and user-agent info to route traffic, mitigate abuse, and improve performance. We don't use this to identify you.
- Advertising (Google AdSense): Google may set cookies and process identifiers, IP addresses, and device data to show ads, measure performance, and (with consent in applicable regions) personalize ads.
How We Use Information
- Operate, secure, and improve the site (e.g., performance, debugging, anti-abuse).
- Understand aggregate usage (which features/franchises are popular).
- Show and measure non-affiliate advertising.
Legal Bases (EEA/UK/CH)
- Consent: Personalized ads and non-essential advertising storage.
- Legitimate interests: Security, fraud prevention, basic delivery/measurement, and strictly necessary site functionality.
You can change your choices at any time via "Manage cookie preferences" in our footer.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Our site aims to avoid first-party tracking cookies; we may use localStorage for your marathon settings.
Google AdSense and some ad partners use cookies and similar technologies. In the EEA/UK/CH we use a Google-certified CMP to obtain and store consent.
To opt out of personalized ads more generally, see adssettings.google.com and industry opt-outs (NAI/DAA).
Sharing & Processors
We don't sell your personal information. We share limited data with service providers to run the site:
- Google AdSense / Google Marketing Platform (Google LLC): ads delivery & measurement.
- Cloudflare, Inc.: CDN, DDoS mitigation, security logs.
- Plausible Analytics: aggregated, privacy-friendly analytics.
- Hosting/Build providers (e.g., Cloudflare Pages/Workers): site hosting and deployment.
- Stripe, Inc.: payment processing for voluntary tips through our Tip Jar feature (see Payment Processing section below).
Payment Processing (Tip Jar)
When you use our voluntary Tip Jar feature to support the service:
- Payment Data: We use Stripe, Inc. to securely process payments. Stripe collects and processes payment information (like credit card details) according to their Privacy Policy. We do not store your payment information on our servers.
- Transaction Information: We may receive limited transaction data from Stripe (such as transaction amount and success/failure status) to track analytics and provide confirmation.
- No Personal Data Required: Tips can be made without providing personal information to us. Any information required by Stripe is handled according to their privacy practices.
- Analytics: We may track aggregated tip metrics (like total amounts, frequency) for service improvement, but do not link this data to individual users.
Data Retention
- Analytics (aggregated): Typically 24 months or less (per provider defaults).
- Server/CDN logs: Short-term operational logs (per provider defaults).
- Ad data: Retained by Google per their policies; we don't control those retention periods.
Your Rights
EEA/UK/CH (GDPR): You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict/object to processing, and data portability. You can also withdraw consent at any time via Manage cookie preferences (this won't affect prior lawful processing).
California (CPRA): You may request to know, delete certain information, and opt-out of "sale"/"sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. Use "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" in our footer (or contact us) to opt out of ad personalization on this site.
Other regions (CO/CT/VA/UT, etc.) may grant similar rights; contact us and we'll help.
International Transfers
Our providers may process data globally. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
Children’s Privacy
Our site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes
We may update this policy. We'll post the new effective date above.
