Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains what information is collected when you visit thedugoutnews.com and how it is used. We keep data collection to a minimum. Last updated: October 2026.

Who we are

The Dugout News is an independent baseball website run on WordPress. For any privacy question, contact us at [email protected].

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our web server keeps standard log files. These may include your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you request, the referring page and the date and time of your visit. Logs are used to keep the site secure, diagnose technical problems and understand overall traffic. They are kept for a limited period and are not used to identify individual visitors.

Cookies

WordPress may set a small number of technical cookies needed for the site to function. Visitors do not need an account to read the site, and we do not offer user registration. If you leave a comment (where comments are enabled), WordPress may store your name and email in a cookie on your device for convenience; you can delete it at any time in your browser settings.

Cloudflare

Our site is delivered through Cloudflare, which provides security, performance and content delivery services. Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses and may set cookies needed to detect malicious traffic and protect the site. You can learn more in Cloudflare’s own privacy policy at cloudflare.com.

Emails you send us

If you write to [email protected], we use your email address and message only to reply to you. We do not add you to mailing lists and we do not sell or share your contact details.

Third parties and links

We do not sell personal information. Our articles link to external sources such as official league sites and reference databases. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, laws such as the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may give you rights over your personal data, including the right to access it, correct it, request its deletion, object to or restrict certain processing, and know whether it is sold or shared (we do not sell it). To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
