Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Lean Edge Sports is a free NBA statistics website operated by an individual based in England, United Kingdom. We can be contacted at hello@leanedgesports.com.

This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. What Data We Collect

Contact form submissions. When you use the contact form on our website, we collect your name, email address, and the message you send. This data is submitted through Formspree (a third-party form handling service) and forwarded to our email inbox. We use it only to respond to your enquiry.

No account data. Lean Edge Sports does not require you to create an account. We do not collect passwords, payment information, or any personal profile data.

No analytics tracking. We do not use Google Analytics or any other visitor tracking or advertising technology on this website.

3. Local Storage

Our Comparison Tool saves your favourite comparisons to your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may process data as part of delivering this website:

• Google Fonts — loads fonts from Google's servers. Google may collect limited technical data such as your IP address when fonts are requested. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Formspree — processes contact form submissions. Data is stored temporarily to deliver the message to our inbox. See Formspree's Privacy Policy.
• Anthropic (Trades page) — our NBA Trades page uses the Anthropic API to fetch confirmed trade information via web search. No personal data is sent to Anthropic as part of this feature.
• Netlify — this website is hosted on Netlify. Netlify may log standard server access data (IP addresses, page requests) as part of routine hosting operations. See Netlify's Privacy Policy.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where we process personal data (contact form submissions), we do so on the basis of legitimate interests — specifically, our interest in being able to respond to enquiries sent to us. We only use the data for the purpose it was provided.

6. Data Retention

Contact form messages received via email are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to address your enquiry, and no longer than 12 months unless we have an ongoing reason to keep them.

7. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Erase your data (the "right to be forgotten")
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have not handled your data lawfully

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@leanedgesports.com.
