Privacy Policy

Last updated April 3, 2026

TowShark ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website www.towshark.com. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

The short version: we're a news aggregation site. We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we don't track you across the internet. We collect minimal, anonymous analytics to understand how many people visit the site.

What We Collect

Website analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics): When you visit towshark.com, Cloudflare collects anonymous, aggregated data including:

Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not track you across websites, and does not collect personally identifiable information. We chose Cloudflare specifically because it is privacy-focused. For more information, see Cloudflare's Web Analytics documentation.

Vercel Analytics: Our hosting provider, Vercel, collects anonymous performance data (page load times, core web vitals) to help us maintain site speed. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. For more information, see Vercel's privacy documentation.

What We Do NOT Collect

Third-Party Links

TowShark links to news articles on other websites. When you click a "Read source" link, you leave TowShark and visit that third-party site, which has its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to.

Diesel Price Data

The diesel price tracker on our homepage pulls data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) public API. This request is made by your browser directly to the EIA โ€” we do not proxy or store this data.

Children's Privacy

TowShark is a news site for the towing and storage industry. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18.

Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
