Privacy policy
What South Coast 360 collects, why, and how to ask us to delete it. In plain words.
Last updated Oct. 16, 2026.
The short version
We collect an email address if you sign up for the newsletter, and whatever you choose to email us: a tip, a correction, an event or a photo. We do not sell your information. We do not run advertising networks or follow you around the web.
What we collect, and why
| When | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You sign up for the 6 a.m. edition | Your email address, and which editions you picked | To send you the newsletter and nothing else |
| You send a tip, a correction, an event or a nomination | What you write, any link or file, and the name or email you add | So the editor can read it and, if you asked, reply |
| You send a game photo | The photo, the credit name and the game and date | To publish it with your name, if you say we may |
| You ask about sponsoring | Your business name, contact details and note | To answer you |
| You visit the site | Basic server logs: page, time and browser type, with the address shortened | To keep the site running and safe |
| You read a page | A visit count from Cloudflare Web Analytics: the page, the site that sent you, browser type and country. It uses no cookies and nothing that identifies you | To see which stories readers use |
What we do not do
- Sell, rent or trade email addresses or form answers.
- Load advertising networks or tracking pixels from other companies.
- Publish your name, email or tip without your yes.
- Collect anything from children. Our forms are for adults. Photos of minors are published only with a parent's yes.
Newsletter
Signing up uses a confirmation email (double opt-in). Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link and our mailing address. When you unsubscribe, we stop sending and remove the address from the active list.
Who sees it
The editor reads tips and form answers. Cloudflare hosts the site, counts visits and forwards email sent to our tips and corrections addresses; it processes that data for us under its own terms. Any other service is named here when it is chosen.
Your choices
- Ask us what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it.
- Withdraw a photo or a tip at any time before it is published; a published photo of a minor comes down within hours when a parent asks.
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter in one click.

Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes and the old version is kept. We will not change how we use your email without asking you first.
