Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

TheSportOfBowling.com (“we”, “our”, “us”) is operated by Jorge Bravo Castrejon, Grellstraße 13, 10409 Berlin, Germany. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit the site, why we collect it, and what control you have over it.

Data We Collect

  • Automatically: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and time on page — through server logs and analytics.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see the section below and our Cookie Policy.
  • Information you send us: if you email us, we keep your message and address in order to reply.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not run a newsletter or user accounts.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit this site.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.
  • Third-party vendors and ad networks other than Google may also serve ads on this site. You can review the full list of Google's advertising partners at business.safety.google/adspartners.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics cookies are only set after you consent through our cookie banner. Elsewhere, including the United States, analytics is active by default and you can turn it off at any time (see Your Consent Choices below). Google Analytics data is processed in line with Google's Privacy Policy.

Affiliate Links

We participate in the Amazon Associates Program and other affiliate programmes. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may set a cookie to attribute a purchase to us. We do not receive your name, address, or payment details — only aggregate commission reports. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Your Consent Choices

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and analytics and advertising cookies stay off until you accept them.

If you are anywhere else, including the United States, analytics and advertising cookies are active by default. You can opt out at any time with the Cookie Settings link at the bottom of every page and choosing Essential Only. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out of personalised advertising.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the same link.

Legal Basis (GDPR)

  • Consent — analytics and advertising cookies.
  • Legitimate interest — server logs and security, keeping the site working.
  • Contract / legitimate interest — replying to emails you send us.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent. Under the CCPA, California residents may request disclosure and deletion, and may opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information — we do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email contact@thesportofbowling.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line.

Data Retention

Server logs are retained for up to 30 days. Analytics data is retained for 14 months. Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle the enquiry.

International Transfers

Our advertising and analytics providers may process data outside the EEA, including in the United States, under Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above.
