Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

The Titan Standard ("we", "our", "site") respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how we use it. By using the site you consent to the practices below.

1. Information We Collect

Automatic data: your IP address, device / browser type, referring URL, and pages visited — collected via Google Analytics 4 and standard web-server logs.

Voluntary data: your email address when you subscribe to a newsletter, follow an author, submit a poll vote, or post a comment.

Reaction / engagement data: anonymous per-session identifiers used to prevent duplicate votes on reactions and polls. No account is required.

2. How We Use It

We use collected data to deliver, maintain, and improve the site; to send newsletters you signed up for; to measure content performance; to detect abuse; and to serve advertising through third-party providers (see below).

3. Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions and analytics. See our Cookie Policy for details.

4. Third-Party Services

We use trusted providers including Google Analytics, Google AdSense (when active), Resend (email delivery), and content APIs like ESPN. These providers process your data under their own privacy policies.

5. Advertising

The site may participate in Google AdSense and other ad networks. These networks may use cookies or web beacons to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other websites. You may opt out by visiting Google Ads Settings.

6. Data Retention

Newsletter emails are retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained per GA4 defaults (14 months). Reaction data is not linked to identifiable users.

7. Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.

8. Your Rights

You can unsubscribe from any newsletter at any time via the link at the bottom of the email. You can request deletion of your data by emailing hello@thetitanstandard.com.
