Who we are
Ruckers Forum is a South African rugby community. This page maintained by the Ruckers Forum team explains what personal information we collect and how we use it.
What we collect
- Account info you give us: username, email, avatar, bio, chosen team.
- Content you post: threads, replies, likes, mentions.
- Technical data: IP address, browser, device, referring URL — used for security and abuse prevention.
- Cookies and local storage: session, theme preference, and login state.
How we use it
To run the site, keep it secure, personalise your experience (theme, feeds), notify you of replies and mentions, and improve the product. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies and consent
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your session, theme, and consent choices. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, we show a consent banner that lets you choose whether to allow personalised advertising, analytics, and related data processing. These choices are stored in a cookie and can be changed at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. We work with Google (AdSense and Google Analytics) to serve and measure ads, which relies on these consent signals.
Who we share it with
Service providers who help us run the site — hosting, email delivery, analytics, and abuse prevention. They only see what they need to do their job.
Your rights
You can view and edit your profile at any time, change your username, update your email, or delete your account. Contact us for any other privacy request.
Children
Ruckers Forum is not intended for children under 13. If we learn we've collected data from a child under 13, we'll delete it.
