CGYSportsZone respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit cgysportszone.ca or contact us, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Who we are

CGYSportsZone is a Calgary-focused sports publication. Our website address is https://cgysportszone.ca/.

Information we collect

Information you submit

When you use our contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, subject and message. Please do not submit passwords, payment information or other sensitive personal information.

Technical information

Our website and hosting provider may automatically record limited technical information needed to operate and protect the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, date and time of access, and security or error logs.

Cookies

The site may use essential cookies needed for security, forms and normal WordPress operation. Additional cookies may be set if you interact with embedded content or visit third-party services linked from the site.

Embedded content and external links

Articles may include embedded content or links from other websites, such as video, social media, schedules or source material. Those services may collect information according to their own privacy policies when you interact with them.

How we use information

  • Respond to questions, story tips, corrections and other inquiries
  • Assess and verify submitted sports information
  • Operate, maintain and secure the website
  • Diagnose technical problems and prevent spam or abuse
  • Improve our coverage and the reader experience
  • Meet legal obligations when applicable

Submitting a story idea does not guarantee coverage or publication.

How information is shared

We do not sell personal information.

Information may be processed by service providers that help us operate the website and communicate with readers, including our web-hosting provider, WordPress and form services, and Google Gmail for email delivery. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the site, our readers or others.

How long we keep information

We retain contact messages and related correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, verify information, maintain appropriate editorial records, resolve disputes or meet legal obligations. Technical and security logs are retained according to our hosting and security providers’ normal practices.

Your choices

You may ask us to access, correct or delete personal information you submitted, subject to any legal, security or legitimate editorial-record requirements. Use the Contact page and clearly describe your request.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect some website functions.

Children’s privacy

CGYSportsZone covers sports at many levels, including youth and amateur competition, but the website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information directly from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us to request review or deletion.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site and its services change. The latest version will be posted on this page with a revised update date.
