Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

SportsSeatFinder ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website sportsseatfinder.site. We are an independent affiliate marketing website that helps users discover live sports tickets available through StubHub's marketplace. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or employed by StubHub, any sports league, team, or venue.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Automatically collected data: When you visit our site, standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This is standard practice for all websites.
• Cookies and tracking technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how visitors use our site. See Section 4 for details.
• Affiliate tracking: When you click an affiliate link on our site, MaxBounty and StubHub may set their own tracking cookies to attribute the referral. We receive aggregated commission data but not your personal purchase details.

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, payment information, or any other directly identifying personal information through this website.

3. How We Use Information

The information collected is used for the following purposes:

• To understand how visitors find and use our website (analytics)
• To improve the content, design, and functionality of the site
• To track affiliate referrals and commissions through MaxBounty
• To detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive behavior
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Cookies

Our website uses the following types of cookies:

• Analytics cookies: Tools like Google Analytics may be used to analyze site traffic and visitor behavior in aggregate. These cookies collect anonymized data.
• Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click an affiliate link, MaxBounty places a cookie to track whether a qualifying purchase is made. This is required for commission attribution.
• Preference cookies: Small amounts of data may be stored locally to remember basic preferences (e.g., scroll position).

You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may prevent affiliate tracking, which means commissions may not be attributed, but you can still visit StubHub directly to purchase tickets.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website links to and works with the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• StubHub — the ticket marketplace we recommend. When you click through and purchase, StubHub's privacy policy governs your data.
• MaxBounty — our affiliate network. MaxBounty processes commission tracking data.
• Cloudflare — our website host and CDN. Cloudflare may log request data for security and performance purposes.
• Google Fonts — we load fonts from Google's servers, which may set cookies or log requests.
• Google Analytics (if enabled) — anonymized site analytics.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services before making purchases or sharing personal information with them.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

SportsSeatFinder participates in affiliate marketing programs, including the MaxBounty affiliate network on behalf of StubHub. This means:

• We earn a commission when you purchase tickets through links on this site
• This commission comes at no additional cost to you
• Our editorial recommendations are our honest opinion and are not influenced by commission rates
• We disclose this relationship in accordance with FTC guidelines (16 C.F.R. Part 255)

7. Children's Privacy

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information.

As noted, we do not collect significant personal information and do not sell personal information. To exercise any CCPA rights, contact us at the email address below.

9. Data Retention
