How information is used
Contact details are used to respond to your inquiry.
Launch updates (closed)
Until 2 November 2026 this website offered email updates about Harvesting the Crown Jewel. We no longer collect new sign-ups. If you signed up before then, your email address remains in this website’s form records and with our email provider, Kit, and we will not send further launch emails. To have your address deleted, write to info@thewinningunderdog.com and we will delete it and confirm.
Submission records and email
Form entries are also stored in the website’s submission records and delivered by email. Contact notifications include submission metadata such as the date, time, page URL, browser information, and IP address. Website hosting and email service providers process information as needed to operate these services.
Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics 4 to measure visits in aggregate (pages viewed, approximate location, device type, referring site). Google Analytics sets cookies and processes IP addresses; IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4. The data is used only to understand how the site is used. Most browsers let you block or clear cookies, and Google offers an opt-out browser add-on.
Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them in the cookie banner; you can change your choice at any time from Cookie settings in the footer.
Website operation
Some pages load fonts from Google. Loading these resources connects your browser to that provider.
Retention and your requests
Form submissions and inquiry email records are retained until manually deleted. There is no promised fixed automatic deletion period. Records from the closed launch-updates list are kept until you ask us to delete them. To ask about information you have submitted, or request deletion, email info@thewinningunderdog.com. Requests are handled manually. Please identify the email address used in your submission.

This notice may be updated when the site’s handling changes. The effective date above identifies the current version.
