Overview
State Bound ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website at www.statebound.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
Information We Collect
Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across websites. All data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.
Newsletter Subscriptions
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. Newsletter delivery is handled by Beehiiv. Your email is used solely to send you wrestling news and updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.
Cookies
State Bound does not set any first-party tracking cookies. Third-party services integrated into the site (such as advertising or affiliate partners, if present) may set their own cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
How We Use Your Information

This information is sourced from public records, official organizations (IHSA, IESA), and publicly accessible tournament results. If you believe any information is inaccurate or should be removed, please contact us.
Children's Privacy
State Bound does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our site displays publicly available athletic records and results. We do not require account creation or collect personal data from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.
