Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Account details: your first and last name and email address. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google. We never receive your Google password.
• Password: if you sign up with email and password, only a salted hash of your password is stored, never the password itself.
• Your picks: the answers you enter and when you submit them.
• Payment status: whether the pool organizer has marked your buy-in as paid. Payments are made through Venmo, outside this site. We never see or store payment card or bank details.
• Sign-in cookie: a single cookie that keeps you signed in on your device.

How we use it

Only to run the pool: creating your account, saving your picks, scoring them, showing the leaderboard, and letting the organizer track who has paid. We do not sell your information, show ads, or use analytics or tracking tools.

Who can see it

• Other players can see your name and your points on the leaderboard. Once picks lock, they can also see your picks.
• The organizer (admin) can see all account details, picks and payment status.
• Service providers that host the site and handle sign-in process data on our behalf: Railway (hosting and database), Google (Sign in with Google) and Cloudflare (domain and DNS).

We do not share your information with anyone else unless required by law.

Cookies

The site uses only the cookies needed to keep you signed in (and short-lived security cookies used during sign-in). It uses no advertising or analytics cookies.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your information while the pool is running. To see, correct or delete your data, email henrysteckel@gmail.com and we'll take care of it. Deleting your account also removes your picks.

Security

Data is sent over HTTPS and stored in a managed database. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Children

This site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Continuing to use the site means you accept the updated policy.
