Beat Coverage (beatcoverage.com) is an independent sports and entertainment site run by Justin Worsley in Sarasota, Florida. This policy explains what information the site collects, how it is used and the choices you have. “We” and “us” mean Beat Coverage.

Information you give us

  • Google sign-in. If you sign in with Google to enter the mock draft contest, Google shares your name, email address and profile picture with us. We never see or store your Google password.
  • Contest entries. Your mock draft picks, any trades you project and the time you last saved.
  • Comments. If you comment on a post, we store the name, email address and optional website you enter, along with your comment, IP address and browser details to help catch spam.
  • Messages. Anything you send us through the Contact page.

Information collected automatically

  • Cookies. WordPress uses cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your comment details if you choose.
  • Advertising. This site shows ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites. You can turn off personalized ads in Google’s Ads Settings, and opt out of some other vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info/choices. Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
  • Analytics. We use Google Analytics to see which pages people read and how they find the site. It collects information such as pages visited, device type and approximate location. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
  • Content loaded from other services. Pages load fonts from Google Fonts, team and college logos from ESPN, and some images through WordPress.com. Those services receive your IP address when your browser loads them.

How we use information

  • To run the mock draft contest: save and score entries, show the leaderboard and contact the winner.
  • The public leaderboard shows your first name and last initial. Everyone’s picks become visible on the leaderboard once entries lock.
  • Share images of your mock are created on your own device. We don’t upload or store them.
  • To display and moderate comments, answer messages and keep the site running and secure.

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we don’t send marketing email.

Who we share it with

Only the services that help run the site: Google (sign-in, ads and analytics), our web host and WordPress.com. We may also share information when the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Your account and contest entries stay until you ask us to delete them. Final contest standings may be kept as a record of past contests. Comments stay unless you ask us to remove them.

Your choices

  • Delete your data. Ask through the Contact page, and we’ll delete your account, contest entries and comments.
  • Disconnect Google. Remove Beat Coverage from your Google Account’s third-party connections at any time.
  • Cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features, like staying signed in, won’t work without them.

Beat Coverage is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
