Jersey Sports Round Up is an independent New Jersey sports news publication owned and operated by Jersey Front Media L.L.C., a New Jersey limited liability company (the "Publisher"). In this policy, "we" and "our" refer to the Publisher operating Jersey Sports Round Up. We respect the privacy of our readers, contributors, and newsletter subscribers.
This policy applies to jerseysportsroundup.com. Third-party websites, social media platforms, and services linked from our pages may have their own privacy policies.
Information you provide
- Newsletter: Your email address and subscription choices, including confirmation, delivery, and unsubscribe status, when you request our newsletter.
- Reader comments: The display name and comment you submit. Approved comments and their display names appear publicly with a posting date.
- Messages and requests: Information you choose to send us by email, including requests for corrections, privacy inquiries, tips, or permission to reuse material.
- Editorial and staff accounts: Account identifiers and information needed to provide approved newsroom access and administer the publication.
Information handled automatically
Our hosting, security, and media-delivery services may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser or device details, requested pages, and request timing to operate and protect the website. We use technical safeguards to limit abuse of the newsletter and comments forms. In our comment and newsletter application databases, submission-related IP information is recorded as a keyed hash for rate limiting rather than as the raw address; infrastructure providers may separately process technical request logs.
We have integrated Vercel Web Analytics to understand public-site traffic when that service is enabled. Analytics can help us see pageview trends, referral sources, and broad geographic patterns. We configure the integration to exclude internal publishing routes and newsletter confirmation and unsubscribe pages from public readership analytics. Analytics and service-provider practices may change, and we will update this notice when necessary.
Why we use information
- To send requested confirmation emails and newsletters, maintain subscription preferences, and honor unsubscribe requests.
- To review and, when appropriate, publish reader comments and respond to reader inquiries.
- To operate the newsroom, protect accounts, prevent spam or abuse, troubleshoot issues, and keep the site available.
- To understand readership in order to improve our reporting and presentation.
- To meet applicable legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
Service providers and outside content
We use service providers to operate the publication, including Vercel for website hosting and analytics, Supabase for application data, Resend for newsletter delivery, and Cloudflare for domain, security, or media infrastructure. These providers handle information as needed to perform their services and under their respective terms and privacy practices. Our articles may also link to or display externally hosted video and other content; visiting or playing that material may involve those providers' own data practices.
We do not sell newsletter subscriber lists or reader comment information to sponsors. Advertising or sponsorship arrangements do not give businesses access to our newsletter subscriber database. We may disclose information when required by law, to address abuse or security concerns, or as part of an authorized change in the operation of the publication, subject to applicable requirements.
Newsletter choices
Newsletter subscriptions require an email confirmation. You can unsubscribe through the link provided in newsletter emails. We may retain limited suppression, delivery, or consent records where necessary to respect opt-outs, prevent unwanted mail, or meet applicable obligations.
Comments and public visibility
Comments are submitted for editorial review and are not automatically published. If a comment is approved, its display name and text become visible to visitors. Please do not submit private contact details, confidential information, or sensitive personal information about yourself or anyone else, particularly minors. Other people may copy or archive information once it is public.
Retention and security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including editorial recordkeeping, active subscriptions, fraud prevention, security, and legal obligations. Different records may have different retention periods. We use reasonable access controls and safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Children and student athletes
Our journalism covers school athletics, but this website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 should not submit comments, newsletter requests, or personal information through the website. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
Our reporting about student athletes is subject to our Editorial Policy. Requests involving a student's privacy or safety may be sent to our newsroom for review.
Your requests and choices
You may contact us to ask about personal information you provided, request correction or deletion when appropriate, withdraw a newsletter subscription, or raise a privacy concern. We may need to verify a request before acting and may retain records where legally permitted or necessary for legitimate editorial or operational purposes. Privacy requests do not automatically require removal of lawful journalism.
Updates to this policy
We may revise this policy as our publication, services, or legal obligations change. The date at the top indicates the most recent update. Material changes will be communicated through the website or other appropriate means.
