Privacy

What we collect, why we collect it, and how to delete it. Short version: we keep only what the site needs, and we never sell or share your information.

Planning a trip

You don't need an account to plan a trip. When you search, we record the teams, dates and options you picked so we can see which trips people plan and improve the planner. Those records don't include your name, email or anything else that identifies you.

If you email a trip to someone, we use the addresses and message you enter only to send that one email. We don't keep the addresses or add them to any list. If you tick the box to get a copy, we send one to your address too.

Accounts and your Ballpark Passport

If you create an account, we store:

  • Your email address, to sign you in and to send account emails (confirming your email, resetting your password, and letting you know if your password or email changes).
  • Your password, but only in a scrambled (hashed) form. We can't see or recover it.
  • An optional name, shown in the site header and on your passport.
  • The ballparks you mark as visited, with any date and note you add.
  • When you signed up and last signed in.

To protect accounts from password guessing, we keep a short record of sign-in and password-reset attempts (the email entered and the internet address it came from). These are deleted after about two days.

We only email you about your account. No newsletters and no marketing.

Your passport is private. Other visitors can't see it.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from My account. That immediately and permanently removes your account, your name, your passport and your visits. If you can't sign in, email [email protected] from the address on the account and we'll delete it for you.

Cookies

Our own cookies are only used when you sign in:

  • bbrt_sid keeps you signed in while you browse. It's removed when you close your browser or sign out.
  • bbrt_rm is set only if you tick "Keep me signed in". It lasts 30 days, or until you sign out or change your password.

If you never sign in, we don't set any cookies of our own.

The site shows ads from Google AdSense and uses Google Analytics to count visits. Google may set its own cookies to do this. You can learn more, and choose your ad settings, at how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Who else handles your information

We don't sell, rent or share your information. A few services help run the site:

  • Cloudflare delivers the site and protects it from attacks, so it handles your connection to us.
  • Amazon Web Services (SES) sends our emails.
  • Google provides maps, ads and visit counts.

Some links to books go to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases; Amazon doesn't get any of your account information from us.

Children

The site isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly create accounts for them. If you think a child has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.

Changes and questions

If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and the date below. Questions? Email [email protected].
