Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Flag Football Global (flagfootballglobal.com) is operated by Hoot Hall LLC. This website is an informational and affiliate portal dedicated to the sport of flag football. We publish content in English and Japanese for a global audience.

2. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or submit personal information to read content on this site. However, we may collect limited data automatically:

• Usage data — pages visited, time on site, referring URLs, device type, and browser information via analytics tools.
• Cookies — small text files stored in your browser to remember preferences (e.g., language) and support analytics.
• Affiliate click data — when you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may record that referral for commission tracking purposes. We do not receive your personal details from Amazon.

3. Analytics

We use privacy-respecting analytics (such as Plausible Analytics or Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify individual users. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

This site participates in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Third-party services embedded on this site (including Amazon, X/Twitter widgets, and YouTube) may set their own cookies and collect data according to their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies directly.

5. Embedded Content (X / Twitter)

Our site embeds timelines from X (formerly Twitter). Embedded X content may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interactions. X's privacy policy applies to any data collected via embedded widgets. You can review it at x.com/privacy.
