Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 16, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how OLC Digital Ratings ("OLC," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with your use of olcdigitalratings.com (the "Site"). OLC publishes independently calculated sports ratings, rankings, and related statistics. We do not require visitors to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information from Site visitors.
1. Information We Collect
The Site itself does not ask visitors to submit personal information. There are no sign-ups, comment sections, or user-submitted content anywhere on the Site. The information that is collected falls into two categories:
Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics or advertising tools we use may automatically log standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring page, and timestamps. This information is used in aggregate to understand traffic and keep the Site running properly.
Cookies and similar technologies, described in the next section.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and third parties we work with (including advertising partners) may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember basic preferences, understand aggregate usage patterns, and support the advertising described below.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the Site display or function, but the core ratings content will still be accessible.
3. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)
OLC Digital Ratings uses Google AdSense to display advertising on the Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this Site and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Alternatively, you may opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
Other advertising networks or partners we work with from time to time may also use their own cookies and tracking technologies subject to their own privacy policies.
4. Analytics
We may use website analytics services to help us understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages and sports are most viewed). These services may use cookies and similar technologies and may collect information such as your approximate location, device, and browsing behavior on the Site. This information is used in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you.
5. Children's Privacy
The Site is a general-audience sports statistics resource and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information below so we can address it.
6. Data Retention & Security
We retain automatically collected technical data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by our service providers. We take reasonable measures to protect the Site, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding information collected about you, such as the right to know what information is collected, to request deletion, or to opt out of certain data uses, including under laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because the Site does not collect personal information directly from visitors beyond the automated technical and advertising data described above, most such requests are best directed to the specific advertising or analytics provider (see the opt-out links in Section 3). You are welcome to contact us with any question or request and we will do our best to assist.
This section provides general information and is not legal advice. If you have specific legal questions about your privacy rights, please consult a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The effective date above will be updated accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
