Privacy Policy
ThoroughWiz publishes a daily horse-racing pace card and a podcast. Our picks, pace sheets, podcast, and videos are produced by AI. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and what we do with it. We keep it short because we collect very little.
What we collect
- Accounts and uploads. There are none. ThoroughWiz is fully public: no sign-in, no accounts and no file uploads, so we hold no account records and no uploaded files.
- Payments. We do not take payments. Everything on the site is free, so there is no payment information for us to collect or store.
- Basic technical data. Our hosting providers may log standard request data (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) to operate and protect the site.
- Website analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate: how many visits and unique visitors we receive, which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive (such as search engines and referring sites), and general browser and device information. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to distinguish visits and visitors. We have configured it for analytics only: Google Signals and ad-personalization features are turned off, so this data is never used for advertising and is never shared for ad targeting.
- Advertising. The site carries no advertising and sets no advertising cookies.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not use our analytics data for advertising, and we do not run any third-party trackers beyond Google Analytics (with its advertising features switched off).
- We do not collect information about children; the site is intended for adults, and horse-racing content may be age-restricted in your jurisdiction.
How we use information
We use the information above only to run the service: answering support questions, understanding in aggregate how the site is read, and keeping the site secure.
Service providers
We rely on a small number of processors that handle data on our behalf: Vercel (website hosting) and Google (website analytics). Questions you type into Ask the Lab are processed by an AI provider to answer them. Each receives only what it needs to provide its service.
Social media
We publish our own videos on social platforms such as TikTok, posted manually by us to our own ThoroughWiz accounts. We do not use automated posting integrations, and we do not collect data about our viewers from those platforms. When you watch or interact with our content there, that platform's own privacy policy governs.
Your choices
- You can opt out of Google Analytics by blocking or clearing cookies in your browser settings, or by installing Google's official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The site works the same either way.
- To ask what we hold about you, contact us at the email below. Because the site has no accounts, the honest answer is almost always: nothing beyond the aggregate analytics above.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date above. Material changes will be noted on the site.
