PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: July 2026 ยท Applies to howiecarrshow.com, our newsletters, and the store.
01WHAT WE COLLECT
We keep it simple: we collect what we need to run the shows and the store, and nothing we would be embarrassed to explain on the air.
- Account details โ name, email, shipping address โ when you join the VIP Experience or order from the store.
- Your email address, when you sign up for a newsletter.
- Poll votes, stored anonymously โ we count them, we don't trace them.
- Standard server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited.
02HOW WE USE IT
We use your information to fulfill orders, deliver the newsletters you asked for, keep the daily poll honest (one vote per person), and understand which stories and episodes people actually read and hear. Audience numbers come from our own first-party measurement.
We do not buy, sell, or rent your personal information. Ever.
03COOKIES & ADVERTISING
Advertising on this site runs in fixed, labeled slots โ no auto-placed units, no pop-ups, no "sponsored content" boxes. The cookies we set ourselves:
| COOKIE | WHAT IT DOES | LIFETIME |
|---|---|---|
| hcrn_session | Keeps you signed in to VIP and the store | Session |
| hcrn_poll | Remembers your daily-poll vote (one per person) | 24 hours |
| hcrn_consent | Stores your cookie choices | 12 months |
| hcrn_slots | Caps how often a direct-sold ad repeats | 30 days |
Direct-sold campaigns are served from our own system. Programmatic slots may set their own cookies; your consent choices apply to them.
04THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Live video streams through Rumble, polls run on OpinionStage, podcasts travel over standard feeds, and store payments are handled by our commerce provider. Each operates under its own privacy policy, all linked from this page.
05YOUR CHOICES
Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link that works on the first click. You can request a copy โ or deletion โ of your data any time: email privacy@howiecarrshow.com and a human will answer.
