Privacy Policy

Privacy, cookies, and advertising choices

Last updated: October 1, 2026

Who operates this site

Patriots Fan Zone is an independent fan publication operated by an individual site owner. For privacy questions or requests, use the Contact page.

Information we use

You can read the site without creating an account. Optional fan accounts and contributions are described below. We do not collect payment details or ticket-account credentials. The website does not record custom browsing or ticket-click analytics or save marketing attribution in your browser.

Delivering a website still involves processing information. Our server and providers can receive your IP address, requested page, browser information, request time, and referring page. Hosting and security systems may keep diagnostic logs. We do not use those logs to build advertising profiles.

Fan accounts and public contributions

Fan Feed is a community service for adults. Clerk provides account sign-in and processes your email, credentials or connected sign-in account, and security information under Clerk's privacy policy. Our community database stores a link to your Clerk account, your chosen username, age and terms confirmation, and your contributions. It does not store your password or copy your email address.

Your username, optional profile picture, bio, social links, approved posts and comments, photos, locations and seat details you enter, and user tags are public. Public contributions can be shared outside this site. A tag links to another fan's profile here; it does not tag their external social accounts. You can disable new tags in your profile settings. Do not include ticket barcodes, contact information, other people's private information, or real-time whereabouts you do not want to publish.

We store reactions, comment likes, fan points, reports, moderation records, and timestamps to operate the community and prevent abuse. Reaction and comment counts appear publicly. Moderators can review posts and comments before publication. Uploaded photos are re-encoded to remove embedded metadata; visible information in a photo remains visible. We do not request device GPS access. Fan Feed pages do not load our advertising script.

Your liked-post collection, saved game day plan, and saved player choices are private account information. Plans and player choices are stored separately for each team and are not included on your public profile. Manage your plan and favorite players from your profile; favorite or unfavorite players from the roster, their player pages, or Fan Feed. Profile pages do not load our advertising script.

When available, clicking “Find on Google Maps” loads Google's optional location search. Google receives your search text and ordinary browser request information under Google's Privacy Policy. You can enter a venue yourself without using this search. If you attach a Google location, we store its place ID with the venue name and city you enter so your published check-in can link to Google Maps. We do not store Google search results, ratings, or photos.

You can edit your profile, delete your posts, or request account deletion from your profile page. An account deletion request hides your profile and contributions while the service coordinates removal of the associated Clerk account and local records, including saved plans and player choices. If a provider or database is temporarily unavailable, a pending job retries the deletion. Security records that prevent a deleted account from being recreated with an old session may remain. Backups and provider logs can retain information until their retention periods expire. Contact us for help with access, correction, or deletion. Copies already shared or saved by other people are outside our control.

Fan points recognize helpful community contributions and have no cash value. See the Fan Community Terms.

Google advertising

Google AdSense ads are not currently enabled on this site. We may use a public publisher verification tag and ads.txt record while applying; those records do not themselves load advertising or set cookies. The advertising practices below describe the nonpersonalized service we plan to use when advertising is enabled.

Google's advertising services generally allow Google and other vendors to use cookies for ads based on prior visits to this or other websites. Our advertising setup requests that personalization be disabled. See How Google uses information from partner sites, Google's Privacy Policy, Google Ads Settings, and YourAdChoices. When advertising is enabled, Google's consent controls identify participating vendors and link to their information.

Cloudflare delivery, security, and aggregate statistics

Cloudflare helps deliver and protect this site and may process request information and security cookies to prevent abuse. Cloudflare may also provide aggregate traffic and performance statistics through Web Analytics. That browser beacon does not use cookies, local storage, or persistent visitor identifiers. Cloudflare states that it discards the network IP address received by that analytics service at the receiving data center. Cloudflare's separate delivery and security services and our server may still process or log IP addresses.

See Cloudflare's Web Analytics data description, Cloudflare's Privacy Policy, and Cloudflare's cookie information.

Cookies and browser storage

  • Security: Cloudflare may use cookies for security, challenges, and abuse prevention.
  • Fan sign-in: Clerk uses cookies and browser storage to maintain your sign-in session and protect your account. Blocking these can prevent sign-in; public tips remain readable.
  • Privacy choices: When advertising is enabled, Google's consent service may store your choices on your device. We do not maintain a separate consent database or custom consent cookie.
  • Advertising: When permitted, Google and participating providers may use cookies or similar storage for delivery, frequency limits, measurement, and fraud prevention, including for nonpersonalized ads.
  • Display preferences: Local display preferences stay in your browser. Profile preferences you save, such as whether other fans can tag you, are stored with your account.

Your privacy choices

Privacy Choices opens Google's privacy controls when advertising and the consent service are available. You can review vendors, decline optional consent, or change a previous decision. Applicable US choices include opting out of sale or sharing of personal information and targeted advertising through Google's controls. Our ad loader also treats a browser Global Privacy Control signal as a request not to load ads.

If advertising is disabled or the consent service cannot load, the link returns to this section and does not save a preference. You can also clear or block cookies using your browser. Blocking advertising does not block site access. Stopping future requests cannot undo processing that already occurred; provider privacy pages explain further access and deletion options.

External links and affiliate relationships

Ticket and other external links take you to independent providers. Links may contain public campaign or affiliate identifiers. Those providers receive ordinary web request information and manage purchases and later activity under their own privacy policies. We do not collect ticket-account or payment information. See our advertising and affiliate disclosure.

Contact messages and retention

If you email us, your address and message are processed by our email provider and available to the site owner for responding. Do not include payment details or other sensitive information. Provider retention and deletion practices are described in their privacy policies. The site owner remains responsible for information under our control. Contact us about access, correction, or deletion of information you have sent us.

Children

This publication is intended for a general football audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can address it.

Fan accounts and submissions require you to be at least 18 and to have reached the age of majority where you live. We collect a confirmation, not a date of birth or identity document.
