Privacy policy

01Whose hands the data is in

Harrah's Chester Downs Management Company, LLC, 777 Harrah's Boulevard, Chester, PA 19013, decides how personal data gathered on hoopschamps.com is handled and acts as its controller. Write to privacy@hoopschamps.com with anything on this page.

02Information that reaches us

Whatever your browser announces unprompted with each request: its IP address, a user-agent line revealing software and handset, which pages it fetched and at what moment.
A rough location, typically a city or state, inferred from that IP address.
The contents of any note you draft through the contact form or email to us directly: name, reply address, chosen topic and the message.
The storage entries listed on the cookie policy page.

03What it is used for

Keeping hoopschamps.com online and protected from misuse, which is our legitimate interest.
Analytics, purely to learn which stops on the board get opened, and only once you tick yes.
Marketing plus affiliate attribution, letting a partner match a reservation back to our link; this too waits for your yes.
Replying to notes you have sent.

Connection data passes through our hosting company; analytics vendors see it only after an opt-in. Clicking a booking link sends your IP address, referrer and cookie identifiers to the hotel's site and to any affiliate or partner network sitting between us, each under its own privacy terms. Contact-form messages are never sold. Where a provider handles data in another country, we rely on the transfer tools the law accepts, the European Commission's model clauses among them, wherever they are needed.

05Retention periods

Server logs: purged on a rolling 90-day cycle. Pooled analytics: retired before twenty-six months pass. Letters and emails: held while the conversation continues and up to two years beyond. Cookie decision: parked in your browser alone, cleared whenever you wipe it.

Under the GDPR (and the UK and Swiss versions) you can request a copy of your records, fix mistakes in them, demand deletion, narrow how they are used, take them elsewhere in a portable format, and challenge processing we justify by legitimate interest. Pull consent back any time with the footer's Manage cookies button. Your national supervisory authority also accepts complaints.

07If you live in California

Under California's CCPA, strengthened by the CPRA, residents may find out what personal information hoopschamps.com keeps, get it erased or corrected, and say no to hoopschamps passing it on for ads that track people from site to site. Turning down the advertising toggle registers that refusal here, as does a GPC broadcast. Exercising a right never earns you a worse version of these pages.

08Young people

Our readership is meant to be 18 or older; we never knowingly collect anything from people below that age. If you learn that a minor has written in, let the privacy inbox know so we can destroy that correspondence.
