Privacy Policy
Ohio Sports Hub respects your privacy.
- We collect only the information necessary to operate and improve the website. Depending on how you interact with the site, this may include information you voluntarily provide through contact forms, support submissions, or other direct communications.
- Like most websites, Ohio Sports Hub may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to better understand site performance, visitor activity, and technical issues.
- We do not, nor will we ever sell your personal information. It's a disgusting practice which displays a disgusting level of greed, and is therefore antithetical to everything Ohio Sports Hub is about.
- Information collected through third-party services is subject to the privacy policies of those providers.
- While no online system can guarantee absolute security, we take extremely strong measures to protect information entrusted to us.
- Questions regarding privacy may be directed through our Contact page.
AI Usage Policy
Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool, but it is not a substitute for editorial judgment, reporting, accountability, or human oversight.
- Ohio Sports Hub may use AI-assisted tools for research, organization, coding, technical development, workflow assistance, brainstorming, data analysis, and drafting support. However, AI tools do not determine editorial decisions, reporting priorities, or final published content.
- When AI materially contributes to published content in a manner readers should reasonably know about, we will strive to provide appropriate disclosure.
- We believe transparency matters, and we will continue evaluating how emerging technologies fit within our broader commitment to accuracy, trust, and most importantly, reader respect.
Corrections Policy
Accuracy matters.
- When we make mistakes, we will correct them.
- If factual errors are identified in published content, we will make reasonable efforts to verify the issue and update the article as appropriate.
- Corrections may include updates, clarifications, or editor's notes depending on the nature and significance of the error.
- Readers who believe an article contains an error are encouraged to Contact Us.
- We would rather be correct than first.
Attribution & Sources Policy
Good reporting depends on reliable information.
- Ohio Sports Hub strives to properly attribute information, quotations, statistics, photographs, research, and reporting obtained from external sources.
- When information originates from another publication, organization, or source, we aim to provide clear attribution whenever practical and appropriate.
- Anonymous sources may occasionally be used when necessary, but only when there is a legitimate reason to protect a source's identity and when the information can be reasonably verified.
- Attribution is not simply a professional obligation—it is part of maintaining trust with readers.
Reader Support Policy
Ohio Sports Hub is reader-supported.
- Financial contributions help support hosting, development, reporting, maintenance, and other operational costs associated with running the website.

- Supporting Ohio Sports Hub does not purchase influence, favorable coverage, editorial consideration, or special treatment.
- Unless explicitly stated otherwise, support contributions are not tax deductible.
Editorial Independence Policy
Editorial decisions are made independently.
- Coverage decisions are not influenced by reader support, financial contributions, partnerships, sponsorships, advertisers, personal relationships, or outside pressure.
- Individuals and organizations covered by Ohio Sports Hub do not review, approve, or control editorial content prior to publication.
- Our responsibility is to readers, accuracy, and fair coverage.
