Next Man Up Sports respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through nmusports.com, why we use it, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide, such as your name and email address when you create an account, accept a staff invitation, or join the newsletter. Account passwords are stored only as secure hashes. Staff-created articles and media may also include the identity of the contributor who made or updated them.
Our hosting systems may automatically receive technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, timestamps, requested pages, and security or error logs.
How we use information
We use information to operate and secure the site, authenticate accounts, publish content, send requested newsletter messages and article alerts, respond to support needs, prevent abuse, and understand or improve site reliability.
Service providers
We use vendors that process information on our behalf, including Railway for application and database hosting and Resend for email delivery. These providers receive only the information needed to provide their services. We may also disclose information when required by law or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of the site or others.
Cookies and sessions
The site uses essential session cookies to keep signed-in users authenticated and to protect account access. We do not use those cookies to sell personal information or for cross-site advertising.
Retention and security
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, legal obligations, security, and dispute resolution. We use access controls, encrypted connections, password hashing, and required two-factor authentication for staff accounts, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices
You may unsubscribe using the link in any newsletter email. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, subject to legal and operational requirements. Contact us by replying to a message from Next Man Up Sports or through an official social account linked in the site footer.
Children and changes
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. We may update this policy as the site or legal requirements change; the effective date above identifies the current version.
