This Privacy Policy explains how boxingnews.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or interact with our services. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Who we are
boxingnews.com is published by PGAM Media. If you need to reach us about your data, use the contact formand select “General Enquiry” as the topic.
Information we collect
- Information you give us — when you submit a contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, or create content (e.g. a custom ranking), you provide your name, email address, and any message content. We store this to respond to you and, where applicable, send the newsletter you opted into.
- Automatic information — when you browse the site we receive standard web-server data: IP address, browser type, referrer, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use this to operate the site and investigate abuse.
- Cookies and similar technologies — we and our partners use cookies and local storage to remember preferences, measure audience, and serve relevant advertising. See “Cookies and advertising” below.
How we use information
- To deliver the site, its editorial content, and requested features.
- To send our newsletter to subscribers (you can unsubscribe from any edition).
- To respond to messages sent through the contact form.
- To measure audience and improve editorial and product decisions.
- To show advertising and measure its effectiveness (see below).
- To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues.
Cookies and advertising
We use Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) to measure site usage in aggregate, and we display advertising delivered by Google Ad Manager and the Prebid header-bidding ecosystem via our PGAM Prebid wrapper. These partners may set cookies to estimate reach, frequency-cap, and serve contextually relevant ads.
Advertising partners are third parties; their use of data is governed by their own policies. Our primary partners:
- Google Ad Manager & Google Analytics — Google Privacy Policy
- Prebid.js SSP partners — rotated via our header-bidding configuration
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies will not break site functionality, but it may reduce the relevance of advertising you see.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with:
- Service providers who host the site, deliver email, run analytics, or serve advertising, bound by contracts that restrict how they use it.
- Legal authorities where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.
- A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — subject to continued privacy protection.
Retention
We keep contact-form submissions and newsletter subscriber records for as long as necessary to maintain the relationship (or until you unsubscribe/request deletion). Server logs are typically retained for 30–90 days.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent. Under the UK/EU GDPR, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (we do not sell personal information).
To exercise any of these rights, email us via the contact form. We aim to respond within 30 days.
Children
boxingnews.com is intended for adult readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
