Legal
Duke’s Picks LLC (“Duke’s Picks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect Personal Information when you access or use our websites, mobile applications, communities, digital content, educational materials, livestreams, events, communications, and related products and services (collectively, the “Services”).
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your Personal Information. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge and consent to this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms and Conditions / End User License Agreement (“Terms”). If there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Terms, the Terms control except where applicable law requires otherwise.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. If we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
“Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked (directly or indirectly) with an individual. Examples include name, email address, phone number, device identifiers, IP address, account credentials, and payment-related information (handled by our payment processor).
“Sensitive Personal Information” may include certain data categories that receive additional protections under some laws, such as precise geolocation, government identifiers, financial account access credentials, and similar data. We generally do not require or intend to collect Sensitive Personal Information, and you should not provide it unless specifically requested for a legitimate purpose.
“Non-Personal Information” means data that does not identify you specifically (e.g., aggregated analytics). If Non-Personal Information is combined with Personal Information, we treat the combined information as Personal Information.
“Processing” means any operation performed on Personal Information such as collecting, storing, using, disclosing, analyzing, transferring, or deleting.
We collect information in three primary ways: (A) information you provide directly, (B) information collected automatically, and (C) information received from third parties.
We collect information you provide when you:
This may include:
If you provide Personal Information about another person, you represent that you have authority to do so and that you have provided any required notices and obtained any required consent.
When you access or use the Services, we may automatically collect:
We use technologies such as cookies, SDKs, pixels, local storage, and similar tools to collect this information where permitted by law. You may be able to control some tracking through your device settings and browser controls.
We may receive information from third parties such as:
We take reasonable steps to confirm that information received from third parties was collected with appropriate permission or otherwise lawfully shared.
We use Personal Information for the following business and operational purposes:
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time as described in Section 9.
The following describes the categories of Personal Information that Duke’s Picks LLC may collect, use, and disclose for business purposes. Whether a particular category is collected depends on how you interact with the Services. Duke’s Picks does not sell Personal Information for monetary compensation.
If you are located in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction requiring a lawful basis, we process Personal Information under one or more of the following bases:
You may withdraw consent where applicable at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
We do not sell your Personal Information for monetary compensation. We may share Personal Information in the following circumstances:
We share Personal Information with trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as:
These providers are permitted to process Personal Information only to provide services to us and are required to protect it consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We may disclose Personal Information if we reasonably believe it is necessary to:
If we engage in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, bankruptcy, dissolution, or sale/transfer of assets, Personal Information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate protections.
We may share Personal Information with third parties when you direct us to do so or otherwise provide consent.
We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
We do not share or sell your SMS/text messaging opt-in data, mobile number, or consent records to third parties for their marketing purposes.
All categories of sharing described in this Privacy Policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent. This information will not be shared with any third parties, except with vendors and providers necessary to deliver text messaging services, comply with law, or protect the security and integrity of the Services.
We use cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies to operate and improve the Services, including:
You can control cookies through your browser settings and may control certain mobile tracking permissions through your device settings. If you disable cookies or tracking, some features may not function properly.
On our public website we use two analytics tools to understand how people find and use the site. We have deliberately kept data collection to a minimum, and one of the two does not run at all unless you choose to allow it.
Cloudflare Web Analytics is a privacy-first measurement tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. It records aggregate counts only — such as page views, the country a visit comes from, the browser used, and the page that referred you. Because it sets no cookies and stores no persistent identifier tied to you, it runs for all visitors and is not governed by the cookie consent banner.
We also use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) for more detailed usage reporting, such as page views, general device and browser information, and approximate location at the country level. GA4 uses cookies, so we treat it as strictly opt-in. By default GA4 loads in a “consent denied” state and collects nothing; it only begins measuring after you select “Accept” on our cookie consent banner. We also instruct GA4 to anonymize IP addresses. If you select “Decline,” or simply do not interact with the banner, no Google Analytics cookies are set and no GA4 data is collected for your visit. GA4 data is processed by Google; for more detail you can review Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Consent Mode documentation.
Your choice is remembered in your browser’s local storage under the key dp_consent. You can change your mind at any time: clearing your browser’s site data for dukespicks.com, or removing the dp_consent value, will bring the banner back on your next visit so you can opt in or out again. You can also block or delete analytics cookies directly through your browser settings.
Where required by law, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for Google Analytics, and on our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the Services as the basis for cookieless Cloudflare Web Analytics, consistent with the GDPR and similar frameworks. You may withdraw consent at any time as described above. If you are a California resident, you may opt out of analytics tracking through the banner and your browser settings; we do not sell your Personal Information for monetary compensation.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and notifying us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.
If you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, contact us at support@dukespicks.com.
You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the footer of an email. Even if you opt out of marketing emails, we may still send you service-related or transactional emails necessary to operate your account.
If you have opted in to SMS, you may opt out at any time by replying STOP to a message. You may receive a final confirmation message. For help, reply HELP or contact support@dukespicks.com.
You can adjust permissions such as notifications and location sharing in your device settings. If you disable certain permissions, some features may not function as intended.
We retain Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Retention periods vary based on:
When Personal Information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law.
The Services are not intended for children under 16 (or under 13 where applicable law sets that as the minimum age). We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children.
If you believe a child has provided us Personal Information, please contact support@dukespicks.com, and we will take steps to delete it as required by law.
The Services may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, apps, and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to information you provide to or that is collected by third parties.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing information.
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting. At this time, the Services do not respond to DNT signals. You can still manage cookies and certain tracking as described above.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your Personal Information, including rights to:
To exercise these rights, contact us at support@dukespicks.com. We may request information to verify your identity and protect your privacy.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Duke’s Picks LLC is based in the United States, and we may process and store Personal Information in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
Where required, we take measures designed to ensure an adequate level of protection for transferred data consistent with applicable law (such as contractual safeguards).
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:
We do not sell Personal Information for monetary compensation. We also do not share text messaging opt-in data or consent with third parties for their marketing.

You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf where permitted by law. We may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

To exercise these rights, contact support@dukespicks.com. If we deny your request, you may have the right to appeal by contacting us at the same email and stating that you are appealing a privacy decision.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last Updated” date above when changes are made. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
