Contact information
When you email us, we receive your email address, name if provided, and message. We use these to respond and handle your request, and delete information when it is no longer needed. We do not sell this information or use it for advertising.
Site delivery and security
We use Cloudflare to deliver and protect the site. Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP addresses, access times and browser details to handle requests and prevent abuse. Restricted preview pages use Cloudflare Access for email authentication and login sessions.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
On our live site (patchscoop.com), we use Google Analytics from Google LLC to improve the site and its articles. Google receives information such as pages viewed, referral sources, engagement time and scrolling, store link clicks, and region and device details. Google may store identifiers in cookies to distinguish browsers. We do not include on-site search terms or email addresses in analytics or use the data to personalize ads.
We use the country Cloudflare estimates from your connection’s IP address to set the default. Analytics is on by default for visits from Japan. Elsewhere, or when the country is unknown, we start analytics only if you allow it. Use “Analytics settings” in the footer to turn measurement off or on in any region. Your choice is saved in this browser. Turning analytics off does not affect access to articles.
How Google uses data from sites like ours ↗
We do not use advertising scripts or a contact form. Preview ad spaces are placeholders. Affiliate links are labelled as advertising. The linked store’s privacy policy applies when you visit it.
YouTube and external sites
YouTube embeds load only after you press the play button. Your browser then sends connection information to YouTube. Consult each external service’s privacy policy for its handling of personal information.
Requests and policy updates
For questions about your personal information or requests to correct or delete it, please email us below. We will update this page if our services or data practices change.
