At NHLBite ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible at nhlbite.org, user privacy is one of our fundamental operational priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information collected and recorded by NHLBite and explains how we protect, utilize, and manage that data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and applicable international privacy frameworks.
1. Information We Collect
NHLBite does not require user registration, account creation, passwords, credit card numbers, or personally identifiable billing information to access our hockey schedule, stream directory, or interactive tools.
Like virtually all web properties, our servers automatically log certain non-personally identifiable technical details when you visit our website:
- Log Files: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (anonymized where feasible), browser type and version, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. These are used solely for analyzing trends, preventing DDoS attacks, administering the site, and tracking aggregate traffic volume.
- Browser Local Storage: We utilize client-side localStorage to remember your preferred time zone, favored NHL teams, and recent speed test calculations. This data stays entirely on your local device and is never transmitted to our servers.
- Contact Form Submissions: If you voluntarily contact us via our support form or email, we collect your name, email address, and message contents solely to respond to your inquiry.
2. Cookies and Web Beacons
NHLBite uses cookies to store information about visitors' preferences, record user-specific information on which pages the visitor accesses or visits, and customize web page content based on visitors' browser type or other information.
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
3. Advertising Partners & Google DoubleClick DART Cookies
Third-party ad servers or ad networks (including Google AdSense) use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on NHLBite, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.
Google is one of our third-party vendors. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to nhlbite.org and other sites on the internet. Visitors may choose to decline the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
4. Third-Party Web Links and External Players
NHLBite acts as an informational directory and link index. When you click on external watch links, you will navigate away from NHLBite to independent, third-party media players or broadcaster portals. NHLBite has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, cookie practices, or advertising networks employed by any third-party websites or services.

6. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA)
Under the CCPA, California consumers have the right to request disclosure of categories of personal data collected, request deletion of personal data, and direct us not to sell or share their personal information. NHLBite does not sell, rent, or trade user personal information to data brokers.
