Privacy Policy
Draft — not legal advice. This is a plain-language summary of how Picks and Pools handles information. Have a lawyer review before relying on it.
What we collect
- Account info: username, email, and optional profile details you provide at registration.
- Picks and group activity: your pool picks, group memberships, and messages you send through the site.
- Contact form: name, email, and message when you reach out to us.
- Google sign-in (optional): if you use Google OAuth, we receive basic profile info (name, email, profile picture) from Google per their policies.
- Technical data: standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and troubleshooting.
How we use it
We use your information to operate the service (authentication, picks, standings, group invites), respond to contact messages, and improve reliability. We do not sell your personal information.
We send transactional email (such as password resets and group invites) through our email provider. You can update your account email in your profile.
Retention and deletion
We keep account data while your account is active. Contact us if you want your account removed.
Third parties
We use hosting, email, and (optionally) Google sign-in providers. Those services process data on our behalf under their own terms.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
