Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

SportBurst (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates https://sportbursts.com, a sports news website providing football and sports-related news, analysis, and editorial content.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website.

Who we are

Our website address is: https://sportbursts.com.

Third-party services

SportBurst may use third-party services including analytics providers, advertising partners, social media platforms, and embedded content providers.

These third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies, including information about your browser, device, approximate location, and interaction with advertisements or embedded content.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form.
Their IP address and browser user agent string are also collected to help detect spam.

We may send an anonymized hash of your email address to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it.
You can read the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After approval, your profile picture becomes visible to the public next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images and extract location data from them.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These help you avoid re-entering details later. The cookies last for one year.

A temporary cookie is set when you visit the login page to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, cookies store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those websites directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to those sites.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, we include your IP address in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

We keep comments and their metadata indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we delete your personal data. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where your data is sent

We check visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.
