What we collect
If you subscribe to match alerts, we collect your email address and the list of sports and competitions you follow. That’s it. We do not collect your name unless you choose to provide it.
When you visit comesportsnow.com, our hosting provider logs standard request metadata (IP address, user agent, referrer, timestamp). We use this to detect abuse and to understand traffic patterns at an aggregate level. We do not build user-level profiles from this data.
Why we collect it
Emails are used to send the alerts you subscribed to. Hosting logs are used to keep the site reliable and to understand which reporting is being read.
How long we keep it
Email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Once you unsubscribe, the address is removed from the active list within 24 hours and purged from the historical list within 30 days.
Who we share it with
We do not share, sell or rent email addresses. Hosting metadata is processed by our infrastructure provider under a data-processing agreement.

The editorial standards we work to
Every page on comesportsnow sits on the same five editorial principles: sourced claims, named by-lines, visible timestamps, dated corrections and disclosed conflicts. The five principles are not aspirational; they are the gate every page passes through before it goes live.
Sourced claims
Every claim that can be checked against a named source is checked. If we cannot source a claim, we do not publish it.
Named by-lines
Every by-line belongs to the reporter who filed the copy. We do not run anonymous syndication or AI-only by-lines.
Visible timestamps
Every article shows when it was filed and when it was last verified. Updates carry their own timestamps.
Dated corrections
Corrections are published within 24 hours of confirmation and recorded on the corrections log.
Disclosed conflicts
Reporters disclose any personal connection to a team, competition or story. The disclosure appears at the bottom of the article when it applies.
Coverage built for readers who follow for the love of the game
Most of our readers follow the game because they care about the shape of the side, the form of the player, the captaincy call that swung a match. They do not place a wager, and they do not need a betting angle to justify their interest.
Our coverage is built for them. The desk treats live scores as the starting point, not the headline. The desk publishes the supporting and counter evidence alongside every prediction. The desk does not run odds widgets, does not take bookmaker partnerships and does not run a paid tipster subscription.
If you follow sport for the love of the game, our coverage is built for you.
One short email when a match turns
The alerts desk sends up to three emails per match you follow: kick-off, in-game change of state and full-time summary. No filler, no sponsored content, unsubscribe in one click.

Cookies in detail
comesportsnow.com uses only first-party cookies required for the site to function. The alert-subscription state is stored in a first-party cookie so that the subscription banner does not reappear after the reader has subscribed.
We do not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies or analytics cookies that build user-level profiles. We do not embed third-party widgets that set their own cookies (social-media embeds are loaded only when the reader clicks the share button, not automatically).
If you would like to clear the cookies we set, you can do so through your browser’s privacy settings. Clearing the cookies will not affect your access to the site; it will only reset the alert-subscription state.
Data retention
We retain email addresses for as long as you remain subscribed to the alerts. Once you unsubscribe, the address is removed from the active list within 24 hours and purged from the historical list within 30 days.
Hosting metadata is retained by our infrastructure provider according to its standard data-retention policy. We do not retain copies of the metadata on our systems.
How to exercise your rights
To exercise any data-protection right (access, correction, portability, deletion, objection, restriction), write to [email protected]. Include enough information for us to verify your identity. We respond within 30 days.
How to complain
If you believe we have handled your personal data inappropriately, write to [email protected]. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in your jurisdiction.
