1) Who we are & what this policy covers
Vulva Pain Society is a US-focused affiliate website that publishes editorial content and comparisons about online sports betting, including Texas sports betting sites, Texas betting apps, offshore sportsbook options, bonuses, payment methods, betting markets, and responsible gambling resources.
We are not a sportsbook and do not accept bets, process deposits or withdrawals, or provide gambling accounts on this Site. Our role is informational: we publish guides and link to third-party platforms. If you click outbound links, you may be taken to third-party websites that have their own privacy policies and terms.
This policy applies only to information collected through this Site.
2) What we collect
We collect limited information needed to run the Site, understand traffic, support advertising, and track affiliate link performance.
Contact details
We do not collect contact details by default because the Site does not offer a newsletter, contact form, or user accounts.
Browsing/device data (collected automatically)
When you use the Site, we and our service providers may collect:
- IP address
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages
- Referring/exit pages (where you came from and where you go next)
- Approximate location (such as city/state, inferred from IP)
- Device and browser information (device type, browser type, operating system, language)
- Log and security data (timestamps, error logs, and basic anti-abuse logs)
Cookies/trackers for analytics, ads, and affiliate attribution
We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:
- Measure traffic and improve content (analytics)
- Deliver and measure ads, including limiting repeated ads (advertising)
- Track outbound link activity and referrals (affiliate attribution)
Outbound links may include tracking parameters such as:
- UTM parameters
- Click IDs or similar identifiers
- Link-out events (to measure when visitors click to partner sites)
Sensitive information
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (like government ID numbers, precise geolocation, health data, or payment card details) through this Site.
3) How we use information
We use information to:
- Run, maintain, and secure the Site
- Prevent fraud and abuse (e.g., bot activity, malicious traffic)
- Measure traffic and improve content, including Texas sports betting guides, odds explanations, and sportsbook comparisons
- Personalize or cap ads (for example, reducing repetitive ad exposure)
- Attribute affiliate commissions when users click outbound links and later complete actions on third-party partner sites
We do not send marketing emails because the Site does not operate a newsletter by default.
4) Cookies & tracking
Cookies and similar technologies help us keep the Site running and understand how people use it.
In plain terms, they may be used to:
- Support Site performance
- Understand which pages are helpful
- Measure advertising results
- Track affiliate referrals (so we know when content leads to a click or conversion)
How to control cookies:
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Many browsers let you manage cookies by site.
- Some browsers/extensions can reduce tracking by default.
Global Privacy Control (GPC):
If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising where feasible.
Opt-out (“Do Not Sell or Share”):
We do not provide a dedicated opt-out page on the Site. To opt out of “sale” or “sharing” as defined under certain US privacy laws, contact us through vulvalpainsociety.org using the available contact options.
5) Advertising, analytics & affiliates
Analytics
We use standard analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics–type services) to understand:
- How visitors find the Site
- Which pages and topics perform best
- How the Site functions across devices
Advertising
The Site may run display or programmatic ads. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and limit ad frequency.
Affiliate links
Some links on the Site are affiliate links. These may include tracking identifiers so our partners can recognize referrals. If you click an affiliate link and later sign up or transact on a third-party site, we may receive compensation. This supports our content creation and site operations.
6) Sharing of information
We may share information with:
- Service providers that help run the Site (hosting, analytics, security, anti-abuse)
- Advertising and affiliate partners for attribution, reporting, and measurement
- Legal/compliance entities if required by law or to protect the Site, users, and our rights
We do not sell personal information for money. However, certain disclosures for advertising measurement may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under laws like California’s CPRA.
7) Your privacy rights (US states)
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under state privacy laws.
