Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

What we collect

If you sign in, we collect your email address to create your account and let you comment. We store the votes you cast and the comments you post. We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, and Google AdSense to show ads — both of which may set cookies and collect data about your device and browsing activity, including across other sites.

Cookies and advertising

Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings, and learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

How we use your data

We use the information we collect to operate the site, display your votes and comments, moderate content, understand how the site is used, and show relevant ads. We do not sell your personal data.

Third parties we use

Our database, authentication, and comment storage are handled by Supabase. Our hosting is provided by GoDaddy. Analytics are provided by Google Analytics, and ads by Google AdSense. Each of these providers has its own privacy practices governing the data they process on our behalf.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your account, votes, and comments for as long as your account is active. If you'd like your data deleted, reach us via our Contact page and we'll remove it.

Children's privacy

Today's Hot Take is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
