Privacy Policy.

305 SPORTS ENTERPRISES, INC. (“305 Sports,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates 305sports.com and the social channels, newsletters, articles, videos, and events published under the 305 Sports name. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

It applies to 305sports.com and to communications you receive from us directly. It does not apply to the third-party platforms where our content also lives — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X each run on their own privacy policies, and what you do there is governed by theirs, not ours.

Information you give us

• Newsletter sign-up. Your email address, and the date and page on which you subscribed.
• Contact and partnership inquiries. Your name, email address, the topic you select, your company or organization and role where you provide them, and anything you write in the message field.
• Submissions and tips. If you send us a story, a photo, footage, athlete information, or event details, we receive whatever you choose to include.

Information collected automatically

• Device and connection data, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, and language settings.
• Usage data, such as the pages you view, the links and videos you click, the referring website or app that sent you here, and the dates and times of your visits.
• Approximate location, inferred from your IP address at roughly the city or region level. We do not collect precise GPS location.

What we do not collect

We do not ask for or store payment card numbers, government identifiers, precise geolocation, biometric data, or the categories California law defines as sensitive personal information. We do not buy personal information from data brokers.

Cookies are small files a site stores on your device. We and our partners use them, along with similar technologies such as pixels and local storage, in the following ways.

• Strictly necessary. A small number of first-party cookies keep the site working and remember your privacy choice described in section 6. These cannot be switched off.
• Analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not build a profile of you across sites, and Google Analytics, which does set cookies to measure how visitors find and move through the site.
• Advertising. We use the Meta pixel and the TikTok pixel to measure the performance of our posts and campaigns and to reach audiences on those platforms. These are the technologies you can switch off in section 6.
• Embedded content. Instagram posts, TikTok videos, and YouTube players embedded in our pages are loaded from those services, which may set their own cookies when the embed loads or plays. We use YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode, which delays cookies until you press play.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking all cookies may break parts of the site, including embedded videos.

• To publish, deliver, and improve our articles, videos, and events.
• To send the newsletter you asked for, and to let you unsubscribe from it.
• To respond to your inquiry, tip, or partnership request.
• To understand which stories and channels resonate, in aggregate, so we can make better coverage decisions and report audience figures to partners.
• To promote our content on social platforms and measure whether that promotion worked.
• To keep the site secure, prevent abuse and fraud, and enforce our Terms of Service.
• To comply with law and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Audience figures we share with partners and sponsors are aggregate numbers — reach, views, follower counts. They do not identify you.

We share personal information only in the situations below.

• Service providers. Companies that run parts of our operation on our behalf — website hosting and analytics, email delivery, content management, and form handling. They may use the information only to perform services for us.
• Advertising and social platforms. Through the Meta and TikTok pixels described above, information about your visit may be shared with those platforms for advertising measurement and audience targeting.
• Legal and safety. When we believe disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or court order, or is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of 305 Sports, our audience, or the public.
• Business transfers. If 305 Sports is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may transfer as part of that transaction. We will note any material change here.

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, California law defines “sale” and “sharing” broadly, and our use of the Meta and TikTok pixels is treated as sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising under that definition. Section 6 tells you how to stop it.

Everyone

• Unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link at the bottom of any email, or by emailing us. We will still send transactional replies to inquiries you initiate.
• Browser controls. You can block or clear cookies, and you can use a browser or extension that sends Global Privacy Control. We honor GPC as a valid opt-out signal.
• Platform controls. Meta and TikTok each offer ad settings that limit how your activity is used for advertising, independent of our site.

California residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, our purposes, and the categories of third parties we disclose it to.
• Access a copy of the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you.
• Delete the personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
• Correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, using the control above.
• Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights. We will not degrade your experience, charge you a different price, or stop sending you the newsletter because you made a request.

To make a request, email info@305sports.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We will verify your identity by matching the information in your request against what we hold — usually the email address you subscribed or wrote to us with. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with written permission that we can verify. We respond within 45 days and may extend once by another 45 days where allowed, telling you first.

Other US states

Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws — including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and Montana — have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of targeted advertising. We extend the same process to you. Use the same email address above and tell us which state you live in. Where your state provides an appeal process for a denied request, you may appeal by replying to our decision, and we will respond within the period your state requires.

Children under 13

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. You must be at least 13 to subscribe to the newsletter or use the contact form. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, email info@305sports.com and we will delete it.

High school athletes

We cover high school sports, which means we publish the names, images, footage, statistics, and recruiting information of athletes who are often minors. This is journalism about matters of public interest, and it is generally gathered at public games and events rather than collected from the athlete through this website.

We take requests about it seriously anyway. An athlete who has reached the age of majority, or a parent, legal guardian, coach, or school official acting for a minor athlete, may ask us to review, correct, or remove specific content. Email info@305sports.com with the subject line “Athlete Content Request,” and include a link to the content, the athlete name, your relationship to the athlete, and what you are asking for.

We aim to acknowledge these within five business days. We will remove content promptly where it is inaccurate, where it identifies a minor in a way that creates a safety concern, or where it was published in error. We may decline where the material is accurate coverage of a public competition, and we will tell you why.

• Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe, plus a short suppression record afterward so that we do not email you again by mistake.
• Contact and partnership inquiries are kept for up to three years so we can maintain continuity with brands, athletes, and press we work with.
• Analytics data is kept in aggregate or pseudonymous form according to the retention settings of the analytics provider, generally no more than 26 months.
• Published editorial content is kept indefinitely as part of the archive, subject to the athlete request process above.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the limited information we hold, including encryption in transit, access controls on our publishing and email tools, and reputable vendors for hosting and delivery. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our pages link to and embed content from other services, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and the news publishers we aggregate. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before giving them information.

We may update this policy as our site and practices change. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top. If a change materially affects how we handle information already collected from you, we will provide additional notice — through a notice on this site or, where we have your address, by email.
