Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide when you contact us, leave a comment where commenting is available, or subscribe to an email service we offer. This may include your name, email address and the contents of your message or comment.
Our website and service providers also process technical information associated with visits. Depending on the tools used, this may include IP addresses, browser and device information, approximate location, referring websites, pages visited and the date and time of a visit.
You can browse our articles without submitting your name or email address.
How we use information
We use information to operate and maintain the website, respond to enquiries, understand which content readers find useful, improve the website, and detect spam or security problems.
If you subscribe to an email service, we use the details you provide to send the communications you requested. You can unsubscribe using the link in those emails or by contacting us.
Website analytics
We use Independent Analytics to understand how visitors use The Tennis Site, including which pages they visit, their referring websites, approximate geographic locations and browser or device information.
Independent Analytics does not use cookies to track visitors. It uses an IP address and browser information to generate a hashed visitor identifier without storing the original IP address. Analytics data is stored in our website’s WordPress database rather than sent to Independent Analytics’ servers.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Our website and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies for website functions, preferences, analytics and affiliate tracking.
Where comments are enabled, you may be offered the option to save your name, email address and website in cookies so you do not need to enter them again.
Embedded content and affiliate services may use their own cookies, as explained below.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website or third-party features.
Affiliate links
Some articles contain affiliate links. If you follow one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, The Tennis Site may receive a commission.
Retailers or affiliate networks may use cookies, referral identifiers or similar technologies to attribute a purchase to our link. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies.
Purchases are completed on the retailer’s website. The retailer handles your order, payment and delivery information under its own policies.
Articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure of the commercial relationship.
Comments
Where commenting is enabled, we collect the information entered in the comment form, together with technical information such as the visitor’s IP address and browser details, to help detect spam.
Approved comments and the name you provide may be publicly visible.
If Gravatar is enabled, a hashed version of your email address may be sent to that service to retrieve a profile image. Its privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Embedded content and external websites
Articles may contain embedded videos, images or other content supplied by third parties. These services may collect information, use cookies and track your interaction with their content, including when you are logged into an account with them.
Links to other websites take you to services governed by their own privacy policies. This policy applies to The Tennis Site.
Website hosting and overseas storage
The Tennis Site is hosted by Hostinger on a server located in the United States. Our website files and WordPress database, including analytics records generated by Independent Analytics, are stored on that server.
Information processed through the website may therefore be stored outside Australia. Hostinger provides the infrastructure used to operate and maintain the website.
Hostinger’s privacy policy is available at https://www.hostinger.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Retention and security
We retain information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including applicable legal, administrative and security requirements.
Published comments may remain available while the relevant article remains on the website. Analytics and technical records follow the retention settings of the services we use. Copies may remain in backups until those backups expire.
We take reasonable steps to protect information against unauthorised access, loss and misuse. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure.
Your choices and privacy requests
You can contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to raise a privacy concern.
We may need to verify your identity before responding. Some information may need to be retained for legal or security reasons. We will explain any limitations that apply to your request.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our website, services or information-handling practices change. The latest version will appear on this page with an updated date.
