Privacy policy

Information handled by this site

You can read TheCardBoardReport without creating an account. When you request the newsletter, you provide an email address. The site may also receive ordinary technical information needed to deliver and protect a website, such as request times, pages requested, browser or device information, referring pages, and network information such as an IP address.

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand visits and how readers use the site. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar browser identifiers and may process information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser details, referral information, and interactions that the site measures. The site does not intentionally send your newsletter email address to Google Analytics.

Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at Google's partner-sites privacy page. You can also use browser privacy controls, clear stored site data, or use tools supplied by Google to limit Analytics collection where available.

Newsletter signups

When newsletter signup is available and you submit the form, the email address is sent to Beehiiv, the newsletter service currently supported by this site. Beehiiv processes the address to manage the subscription and deliver requested messages. If a production newsletter service is not configured, the site does not claim that the signup succeeded.

You may unsubscribe using the link provided in a newsletter. Subscription information is kept while needed to provide the newsletter, honor unsubscribe requests, maintain necessary records, and meet applicable obligations. Beehiiv may retain information under its own settings and policies.

eBay links and affiliate measurement

Some links lead to TheCardBoardReport's eBay store or to listings from other eBay sellers. Some are affiliate links. A link may include campaign information so eBay can attribute a qualifying purchase and pay this site a commission. When you follow one, eBay receives the request and handles information under its own privacy policy. This site may measure that an outbound link was clicked, along with the page and placement; it does not receive your eBay password or payment information.

Read the site's affiliate and marketplace disclosure for more about these commercial relationships.

Server logs, cookies, and retention

The hosting platform and connected services may keep server or security logs needed to operate, troubleshoot, and protect the site. Analytics and connected services may place or read cookies and similar identifiers. Your browser lets you block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect some features.

Records are kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, subject to service-provider settings, security needs, and applicable obligations. Because different providers control parts of that process, this policy does not promise one fixed retention period for every record.

Your choices and contact

You can avoid submitting an email address, unsubscribe from the newsletter, manage cookies through your browser, and choose not to follow marketplace links. To ask a privacy question using the publication's current public contact route, message @thecardboardreport on eBay. Do not include passwords, payment-card details, or other sensitive information in a message.
