Field Note

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2026

Your privacy matters at BIOME PITCH (orbinest.top). This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. Think of it as the trail signs posted at the edge of the biome — short, plain, and there for every visitor to read.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to keep things light. We do not ask you to register an account to read our coverage. The only personal information we may receive is what you voluntarily provide through our contact form (name, email, message contents) when you write to us.

• Contact details — name and email, only if you submit the contact form.
• Technical logs — standard server / analytics logs such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited. These are aggregated and used solely to keep the biome thriving.
• No payment data — BIOME PITCH does not sell anything and never processes card or payment information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information above to:

• Respond to your field notes, tips, and corrections.
• Maintain and improve the site, fix errors and measure which stories bloom.
• Protect against abuse, spam, and unauthorized access.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. We are naturalists, not data brokers.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

orbinest.top may use a small number of cookies or browser local storage for things like remembering your reading position or your sidebar preferences (e.g. the wind vane direction you last set). You can disable cookies in your browser at any time; the biome will still serve you the specimens.

4. Third-Party Content & Embeds

Our match reports, images and videos are sourced from public football coverage (notably FIFA's digital hub). When you click through to original coverage, you leave orbinest.top and are subject to that publisher's own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the data practices of external sites.

5. Analytics

If we use a privacy-respecting analytics provider, it collects aggregate, anonymized traffic data. We never tie aggregate stats to your identity.

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data you have shared with us by writing to [email protected]. We will respond within a reasonable time, typically a few matchdays.

7. Children's Privacy

BIOME PITCH is a general-audience football site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has submitted data to us, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.

8. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your enquiry and for a short period afterwards for record-keeping. Server logs are rotated and returned to the soil on a regular schedule.

9. Changes to This Policy

If we update these trail signs, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be highlighted in the biome for a reasonable period.
