Big Blue Film Room ("Big Blue Film Room," "we," "us," or "our") is an independent New York Giants news and film breakdown website at www.bigbluefilmroom.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

If you have questions about this policy, please reach us through our Contact page.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us

Contact form. When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, the subject of your message, and the message itself.
Newsletter signup. If you subscribe to updates, we collect your email address (and your name, if you choose to provide it).
Blog comments. If you comment on an article, we collect the name or profile you comment under, your email address if the comment system asks for it, and the content of your comment. Comments are public and can be seen by anyone who visits the Site.

You don't have to give us any of this information to read the Site.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, some information is collected automatically by us, our website host, and our advertising and analytics partners:

Log and device data, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language setting, and the date and time of your visit.
Usage data, such as the pages you view, how long you stay, the links you click, and the website or app that referred you to the Site.
Approximate location, such as your country or city, based on your IP address.
Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 3).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Run, maintain, and improve the Site and its articles.
Reply to your messages, including news tips, correction requests, and advertising or partnership inquiries.
Send newsletters or updates you signed up for. Every newsletter includes a way to unsubscribe.
Display and moderate comments.
Understand how visitors use the Site, such as which articles are most read, so we can make better content.
Show advertising that helps keep the Site free to read (see Section 4).
Protect the Site against spam, fraud, abuse, and security issues.
Comply with the law.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We don't share your contact form messages, email address, or newsletter details with advertisers.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. The Site uses:

Essential cookies, which our website host (Wix) needs to deliver the Site securely and make it work properly.
Analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors use the Site.
Advertising cookies, which our advertising partners, including Google, use to show ads, limit how many times you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and, where allowed, personalize ads.

You can control cookies in several ways:

Cookie banner. Where available, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time.
Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you block all cookies, some parts of the Site may not work correctly.
Ad settings. See Section 4 for how to opt out of personalized advertising.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

The Site uses Google AdSense to show ads. Here is how it works:

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Other third-party ad vendors or ad networks may also serve ads on the Site. These vendors may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits in order to show and measure ads.

To learn how Google uses information from websites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

How to opt out of personalized ads

You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info (the Digital Advertising Alliance's consumer choice page).
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland will be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown, and can change that choice through our consent tools.

If you opt out, you will still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you.

5. Analytics

We use website analytics, including the analytics tools built into our website platform (Wix), to see how many people visit the Site, which pages they view, and where visitors come from. This information is generally reported to us in aggregated form and helps us decide what to cover and how to improve the Site.

6. Our Website Host: Wix

The Site is built on and hosted by Wix.com. Wix stores and processes Site data on our behalf, including contact form submissions, newsletter signups, comments, and visitor log data, and uses its own cookies to run the Site. Wix may store this data on servers in the United States and other countries. You can learn more in Wix's Privacy Policy.

7. How We Share Information

We share information only in these situations:

Service providers that help us run the Site, such as Wix (hosting, forms, newsletter, and comments) and email services we use to reply to you.
Advertising and analytics partners, such as Google, which collect information through cookies as described in Sections 3 to 5.
Legal reasons, if we believe in good faith that the law requires it, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Site, our readers, or others.
Business transfers, if the Site is ever sold or transferred, in which case the information would move to the new owner under the same protections.

8. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our articles often link to and embed content from other services, especially posts from X (formerly Twitter) and videos from YouTube, along with links to news outlets and reporters we credit.

Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These services may collect data about you, set cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you're logged in to an account with them. We don't control these third parties and aren't responsible for their privacy practices, so please review their privacy policies:

We also link to our own accounts on X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Those platforms' own privacy policies apply when you visit them.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy:

Contact form messages are kept as long as needed to respond and follow up, and then deleted when they're no longer needed.
Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
Comments stay on the Site until they're removed by us or at your request.
Analytics and advertising data is kept according to the retention settings of Wix, Google, and our other partners.

We may keep some information longer if the law requires it or to resolve disputes.

10. Security

We rely on Wix's security safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections to the Site, to protect your information. No website or method of sending data over the internet is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. Please don't send sensitive personal information through the contact form.

11. Your Privacy Rights

For everyone

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you've given us (such as a contact form message, newsletter signup, or comment). You can unsubscribe from newsletters at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email. To make a request, use our Contact page.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you the right to:

Know what categories of personal information we collect, use, and disclose, and the purposes for doing so (described in this policy).
Access the specific personal information we hold about you.
Correct inaccurate personal information.
Delete personal information we've collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of advertising cookies to show personalized ads may be considered "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. You can opt out by using the cookie banner where available, using Google Ads Settings, or contacting us.
Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

In the past 12 months, the categories of personal information we have collected are identifiers (such as name, email address, and IP address), internet and network activity (such as pages viewed and interactions with ads), approximate geolocation, and content you send us (such as messages and comments). The sources and purposes are described in Sections 1 to 7.

To make a request, use our Contact page. We may need to confirm your identity before we act on it, and you may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

Legitimate interests, to run, secure, and improve the Site and to reply to your messages.
Legal obligation, when the law requires us to keep or disclose information.

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to its processing, to receive a portable copy of it, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to file a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where the Site and its service providers operate. These providers use recognized safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, for international transfers.

12. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

The Site is a general-audience sports news site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, please let us know through our Contact page and we will delete it.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add new features or partners or when laws change. When we do, we'll post the updated policy on this page and change the "Last updated" date above. If the changes are significant, we may also post a notice on the Site.
