Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how awaygame.live ("we", "us", "Away Game", or "the Site") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or interact with the Site. By using awaygame.live you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We collect a limited amount of information, in the following categories:
1. Information you give us directly
- Email address if you sign up for our newsletter. We use a third-party service (Kit, formerly ConvertKit) to send emails and manage subscriptions. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
2. Information collected automatically
- Usage analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors navigate the Site. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects anonymized information such as pages visited, time on site, approximate location (city-level), device type, browser, and referring URL. We do not collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
- Technical logs: our hosting provider (Netlify) automatically records standard server logs including IP address, timestamp, and requested URL. These logs are retained for operational and security purposes.
- Cookies set by third parties: when you click an affiliate link on the Site (see "Affiliate links" below), the destination partner may set cookies in your browser to track whether you complete a purchase. We do not control those cookies.
How we use information
- To operate and improve the Site
- To understand traffic patterns and which content is most useful
- To send newsletter emails to subscribers
- To earn affiliate commissions on qualifying purchases (see below)
Affiliate links
awaygame.live participates in affiliate programs with travel, ticket, and merchandise partners. Some links on the Site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission when you click through and make a purchase. These commissions do not cost you anything extra and help keep the Site free. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more detail.
Sharing your information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with the following categories of service providers, and only as needed to operate the Site:
- Google Analytics — anonymized analytics data
- Kit (ConvertKit) — email addresses for newsletter subscribers
- Netlify — standard hosting logs
- Affiliate networks and partners — when you click an affiliate link, your browser is redirected to the partner's site; any data exchange from that point onward is governed by the partner's own privacy policy
Your choices
- Analytics opt-out: you can install Google's browser opt-out add-on to prevent Google Analytics from processing your visits.
- Newsletter unsubscribe: every email includes an unsubscribe link.
- Cookies: you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may prevent affiliate partners from crediting purchases you make after clicking links from the Site.
Data retention
We retain newsletter subscriber email addresses until you unsubscribe. Google Analytics data is retained for up to 14 months according to Google's defaults. Server logs are retained according to Netlify's standard retention schedule.
Children's privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
International visitors
awaygame.live is operated from the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be announced via the newsletter.
