Privacy Policy
FightingIndex ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at fightingindex.com. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.
We are committed to keeping this simple and honest. FightingIndex is a fan-operated combat sports dashboard covering UFC and Real American Freestyle (RAF). We are not in the business of collecting or selling personal data.
Information We Collect
We do not operate any user accounts, require registration, or collect any information you directly provide. However, some information is collected automatically when you visit the site:
- Server logs — Our hosting provider, Netlify, automatically records standard web server logs including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This is standard for all web hosting and is used for security and performance monitoring. Netlify's privacy policy applies to this data: netlify.com/privacy
- No cookies — FightingIndex does not set any tracking cookies or use any analytics services such as Google Analytics.
- No advertising — We display no advertisements and work with no advertising networks.
Third-Party Data Sources
FightingIndex displays data fetched automatically from the following third-party sources. When the site loads, our servers make requests to these services on your behalf:
- Wikipedia API — Used to fetch some upcoming event details. Wikipedia's privacy policy applies: Wikimedia Privacy Policy
- RSS news feeds — We aggregate headlines from combat sports and MMA news sites including MMA Junkie, MMA Fighting, MMA Mania, Sherdog, FightBook MMA, MMA News, and BJPENN.com. These requests are made server-side; your IP address is not shared with these services.
- Podcast RSS feeds — Episode data is fetched from public podcast RSS feeds via Megaphone, Simplecast, and other podcast hosting platforms.
- TKO Group stock data — Ticker information is fetched from public financial data sources.
All third-party data fetching is performed server-side by our Netlify functions. Your browser makes requests only to fightingindex.com — not directly to these external services.
