1. Introduction
Welcome to Project Touchdown ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit projecttd.com.
ProjectTD covers the National Football League and is intended for audiences in the United States. We do not market or direct our services to the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. If you visit from outside the United States, the protections described in this policy still apply to you.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
- Contact information (if you reach out to us)
- Comments or feedback you submit
- Search queries and preferences
2.2 Automatically Collected Information
- IP address and device information
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referring website addresses
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and improve our services
- Analyze site usage and trends
- Respond to your inquiries
- Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Analytics and advertising cookies are off by default. Nothing beyond the strictly necessary is loaded until you accept them in the consent banner shown on your first visit.
- Strictly necessary: One cookie,
ptd_consent, which records your choice so we do not ask again on every page. It stores only the word "granted" or "denied" and expires after 180 days, at which point we ask again. It is set whichever choice you make, including when you decline. - Analytics (requires your consent): Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager, which tells us which pages are read and how visitors move through the site. Sets
_gaand related cookies. - Advertising (requires your consent): Advertising and affiliate tags, also delivered through Google Tag Manager, which fund the site. These may set cookies used to measure and personalise ads.
If you decline, Google Tag Manager is never requested and no analytics or advertising cookies are set. Every part of the site keeps working — you will see our own house promotions in place of paid ads.
You can change your decision at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent stops any further loading of these services and clears the advertising and analytics cookies we are able to reach; it cannot undo collection that already happened while consent was in force. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
5. Third-Party Services
Subject to the consent choice described above, we use:
- Google Tag Manager — the container through which our analytics and advertising tags are delivered. Loaded only after you accept.
- Google Analytics 4 — site analytics, fired by the container above.
- Advertising and affiliate partners — ad creatives served into the marked advertisement slots on our pages. Following an affiliate link may earn us a commission at no cost to you.
- Amazon CloudFront — the content delivery network that serves this site. It processes your IP address to deliver pages and to protect against abuse. This is strictly necessary and is not subject to the consent banner.
These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your information.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law.
7. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict processing
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.
7a. Your Rights (US State Privacy Laws)
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, or another state with a comprehensive privacy law, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of targeted advertising and of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
Because our advertising and analytics tags do not load unless you accept them, declining in the consent banner — or choosing Reject later via Cookie Settings — is the opt-out. We honour Global Privacy Control signals sent by your browser where we receive them. To make any other request, contact us using the details below.
8. Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
9. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. However, no internet transmission is completely secure.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
