Privacy Policy
Version 1.0 · Effective: 2026-10-18 · Last updated: 2026-10-18
This policy describes how BuhurtTV collects, uses and shares personal data. It applies to the BuhurtTV website and newsletter, for visitors in the United States and elsewhere.
What is live today: the public site (events, fighter profiles, clubs), account registration, fighter profile claims and the newsletter. Self-service account settings for data deletion are coming soon; the section about that below applies once it opens, and we will update this policy before it does if anything changes.
1. Who runs BuhurtTV
- Legal entity name: BUHURT TV LLC
- Registered address: PO Box 771, Streamwood, IL 60107, United States
- Governing jurisdiction: State of Illinois, USA
- Contact: support@buhurttv.com
2. Data we collect
| Category | What | Collected when | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account data | Email, password (stored hashed by our auth provider), optional display name | Account registration | You, via our authentication provider |
| Bot-check data | CAPTCHA verification token, IP address | Registration and login | hCaptcha |
| Fighter claim data | Claimant email (from your account), first/last name, nickname, social media links (Instagram/Facebook/TikTok), club, free-text message | Submitting a fighter profile claim | You |
| Newsletter data | Email, optional signup-source tag | Subscribing to the newsletter | You, via Beehiiv |
| Contact/support data | Whatever you write to us | Emailing support@buhurttv.com | You |
| Public fighter profile data | Name, club, record and other competition data | Added by an organizer, club or the fighter | See Section 5 |
| Analytics / usage data | Page path and timestamp, aggregated — no cookies, no IP stored, not tied to your account | Every page view | Vercel Web Analytics |
We do not knowingly collect more account data than listed above. If that changes, this policy will be updated before the change ships.
3. How we use data
- Running your account — creating it, letting you sign in, resetting your password.
- Verifying fighter profile claims — confirming you are the person you say you are before giving you control of a public fighter profile.
- Sending the newsletter — only to addresses that completed double opt-in with Beehiiv.
- Responding to you — support requests, claim questions, removal requests.
- Keeping the service secure — bot/abuse prevention via hCaptcha, fraud and abuse checks on claims.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use your data to build advertising profiles.
4. Who we share data with (processors)
We use the following providers to run BuhurtTV. Each handles only the data needed for its job:
| Provider | What it does | Data it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Our database & authentication provider | Database, authentication, account storage | Account email, password hash, fighter claim data |
| Our hosting provider | Website hosting | Standard web request data (IP, browser) needed to serve pages |
| Our video hosting provider | Video hosting and playback, once fight videos are published | Standard playback request data when you play a video. No videos are published yet. |
| Beehiiv | Newsletter sending, double opt-in, unsubscribe handling | Newsletter subscriber email, optional signup-source tag |
| Resend | Transactional email for account messages (sign-up confirmation, password reset), sent through our auth provider; never marketing | Recipient email for service messages |
| hCaptcha | Bot/abuse prevention on signup and login | CAPTCHA token, IP address |
We do not share fighter claim data, account data or newsletter data with sponsors, advertisers or any other third party for their own marketing use.
5. Public fighter profiles
Fighter profiles (name, club, competition record and similar public competition data) are shown publicly on BuhurtTV because they describe public competition activity. A profile can be claimed by the fighter it belongs to:
- You claim a profile from its page.
- We will ask for identifying information (Section 2) to confirm you are that fighter before giving you control of the profile.
- More than one person may submit a claim for the same profile; an admin reviews and resolves conflicting claims before approving one.
- Correction: if information on a public profile is wrong, email support@buhurttv.com. We confirm receipt within 5 business days and correct it within 30 days, after confirming the request comes from the fighter or their parent/guardian.
- Deletion: see Section 8a for the two deletion options.
- A fighter's photo, quote or personal story used in a post or feature (outside the base profile data above) is only used with your separate, recorded consent for that specific use.
8. Data retention
- Account data is kept while your account exists. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete your account data within 30 days, except where we must keep something to meet a legal obligation.
- Fighter claim records are kept for 2 years after the claim decision (approved, rejected or withdrawn), so we can handle disputes about who controls a profile, then deleted.
- Support emails are kept for 2 years after the conversation ends, then deleted.
- Unsubscribed or bounced addresses are kept on a suppression list for as long as we send email, so we never email them again by mistake. We keep only the address and the reason.
- Technical logs at our providers (hosting, auth, email) are kept for the providers' standard log periods.
8a. Deleting your data: two options
You can ask us to delete your data in one of two ways. Today you request it by email to support@buhurttv.com (from the address linked to your account, or telling us which fighter profile the request is about); self-service buttons in account settings are coming. Every request is verified (we confirm it comes from you) and completed within 30 days.
Option A: "Delete my account data, keep my competition records"
| What is deleted | Where |
|---|---|
| Your account and login (email, password hash) | Our authentication provider |
| Profile edits you made (e.g. bio, photo, social links you added) | Our database |
| Your fighter claim submissions (name, social links, club, message) | Our database |
| Your in-app notifications (inbox) | Our database |
| Support emails with you | our support mailbox (after the request is closed) |
What stays: public competition records (results and stats) tied to your fighter name, as published by event organizers, remain on the public fighter profile. The profile becomes unclaimed. Your newsletter subscription is separate: unsubscribe with the link in any newsletter email, or ask us and we remove you in Beehiiv.
Option B: "Delete everything"
Everything in Option A is deleted, and your fighter profile is anonymized: your name, photo, club link and social links are removed. Competition result rows stay only as "Removed at the athlete's request", with no name or photo, so other fighters' records and event results stay complete.
We may keep the minimum needed to honor your request (for example a note that the profile was removed at your request, so it is not re-created from a future data import) and anything the law requires us to keep.
9. Your rights
If you are in the European Union, UK, or a similar jurisdiction, you have the right to: access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, receive a copy of it in a portable format, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
If you are in the United States, depending on your state (for example California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to know what personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell or share personal data in that sense, so there is nothing to opt out of. We will not treat you differently for using any of these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email support@buhurttv.com from the address linked to your account (or tell us which profile or address the request is about). We may ask for reasonable information to confirm the request is yours. We reply within 30 days; if a request is complex we may extend this once by up to 30 more days and will tell you why.
10. Children's privacy
Browsing BuhurtTV — fighter profiles, events, stats, the newsletter signup — does not require an account and has no age restriction. The rule below applies only to creating an account.
To create a BuhurtTV account, of any type, you must be 18 or older. Accounts are not available to anyone under 18. BuhurtTV is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18; if we learn that we have, we delete it.
Parents or guardians can ask us to correct or delete a minor's profile at support@buhurttv.com (see Section 8a).
11. International data transfers
BuhurtTV is run from the United States, and our providers (Section 4) process data mainly in the United States. If you use BuhurtTV from outside the United States, your data is transferred to and processed in the United States. Where our providers offer them, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK equivalent) for transfers of EU/UK personal data.
12. Security
We rely on our providers' security measures (Section 4) and follow reasonable practices to protect your data, but no online service can guarantee complete security.
13. Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our practices change and update the "last updated" date. For material changes, we will also show a notice on the site (and email account holders once accounts exist) at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
