Privacy

If you sign up to write for the site, we keep:

• Your email address, so we can send you sign-in links. That is the whole login system: no passwords.
• Your profile: display name, and anything you choose to add (photo, favourite player, first game, bio). All of it except the display name is optional.
• What you publish: posts, comments, reactions and any polls you create, under your display name.

Whether or not you have an account:

• Poll votes and score predictions are tied to a random cookie in your browser, not to your name. We could not tell you who voted for what, and neither can poll creators.
• Messages you send through the contact form go to the site owner's inbox so we can reply.
• Advertising bookings keep the business details the advertiser gives us, and we count how often an ad is shown and clicked. No cookie is involved in either count.

To run your account, publish your writing, keep the games fair (one vote per browser), reply when you write to us, and report honestly to advertisers. That is the whole list. There is no analytics profile, no tracking across other websites, and no advertising profile of you.

Your details are never sold, rented or swapped. The only people who touch them are the services that keep the site running: our hosting, the service that delivers our email, and Stripe when an advertiser pays for a booking. Each gets the minimum it needs to do its job.

This site sets at most two cookies, both first-party:

• A sign-in cookie when you log in, so you stay signed in for up to 30 days. It is locked away from scripts and sent only to this site.
• An anonymous voting cookie the first time you vote in a poll or the score predictor, so you get one vote per poll. It is a random value that says nothing about who you are.

Your light/dark theme choice stays in your own browser and never reaches us. There are no advertising cookies and no third-party tracking cookies.

Want your account gone? Send us a message through the contact form from the email address you signed up with and we will delete your account and profile. Tell us if you also want your published posts and comments taken down, and we will remove those too.

Anything unclear, or anything here you do not like? Use the contact form and it goes straight to the site owner.
