Privacy policy

Last updated November 9, 2026

Age in Sports (ageinsports.com) is run by Fast Movers, LLC. This policy explains what information is involved when you use the site, vote on a trope, or donate.

The short version

• No accounts and no ads. We count visits with StatCounter to see which pages people use.
• Your settings, your birthday (if you enter one) and which tropes you voted for stay in your own browser.
• Trope votes are counted anonymously. We do not store your IP address with them.
• To look up titles, your browser contacts Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and TVmaze directly.
• If you donate, Ko-fi and Stripe handle the payment, and Ko-fi shares your donation details with us.

Using the site

The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any website, Cloudflare receives technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We do not use this information to identify you. Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary security cookie when it needs to check for automated traffic.

Visit statistics

We use StatCounter to count visits. For each page opened, StatCounter records details such as the page, the website that sent you, your browser and device type, and an approximate location worked out from your IP address. It may set a cookie to tell new visitors from returning ones. We use these statistics only in summary form, to see how the site is used. We do not use them for advertising.

Saved in your browser

Some things are saved only in your own browser’s local storage, so they persist between visits. They are never sent to us:

• Display settings, such as the theme, text size and which sections are shown.
• Your birthday, if you enter it to see how old you were when a film or show came out. You can remove it at any time, or turn the feature off in Settings.
• Titles and people you opened recently, if “Recently viewed” is on.
• Which tropes you gave a 👍, and when you last saw the support card.

Clearing your browser’s site data removes all of these.

Trope votes

When you tap 👍 on a trope, our server adds one to that trope’s count. So that each connection counts once per trope, and can take its vote back, the server also keeps a one-way scrambled code made from your network address, the trope and a secret random value. Your IP address itself is not stored, and the code cannot be turned back into it or used to identify you.

Information sources your browser contacts

When you search or open a title, your browser requests information directly from these services. They receive your IP address and what you searched for or opened, under their own privacy policies:

• Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, run by the Wikimedia Foundation
• TVmaze, for TV shows, including posters and cast photos

If you play a trailer, it loads from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player (youtube-nocookie.com), and Google’s privacy policy applies. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play.

The “trending” titles, birthdays and the featured card on the home page are prepared by our server from public Wikipedia data and contain no information about you.

Donations

Donations are made through Ko-fi and processed by Stripe. They collect your payment details; we never see your card number. Ko-fi shares with us your name, email address, the amount, the date and any message you add. We use this only to process and acknowledge your donation, to handle any questions about it, and to keep the business and tax records the law requires. We do not sell it or use it for advertising, and we will email you only about your donation unless you ask us to.

How long we keep it

We keep donation records for as long as tax and accounting rules require, usually up to seven years, and then delete them. Vote counts are kept while the site runs.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us what donation information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, unless we must keep it by law. Depending on where you live (for example, in the European Union, the United Kingdom or California), you may have further rights under local law. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising. To make a request, email support@ageinsports.com.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top. If we ever add advertising or accounts, we will update this policy first.
