Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed through Pigskin Pick'em. It does not govern independent information practices of commissioners, participants, or third-party services that operate under their own policies.

2. Information You Provide

Depending on how you use the Service, we may process information such as your name, email address, account credentials handled through our authentication provider, entry names, pool memberships, picks, tiebreaker entries, messages, support requests, commissioner actions, notification preferences, and other information you choose to submit.

3. Pool and Activity Information

We process information necessary to operate pools, including pool identifiers, roles, membership status, submissions, picks, scoring results, standings, commissioner corrections, invitations, and communication history associated with Service features.

4. Technical Information

The Service and its infrastructure providers may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser or device information, timestamps, authentication/session data, request logs, error logs, and security-related events.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

The Service may use cookies, browser storage, or similar technologies that are necessary for authentication, session continuity, security, preferences, and core application functionality. If optional analytics or advertising technologies are introduced, this policy and any applicable consent controls should be updated before those tools are enabled.

6. How We Use Information

We may use information to provide and secure the Service, authenticate users, operate pools, save and score picks, calculate standings, provide commissioner tools, deliver communications and notifications, investigate errors or abuse, maintain records, improve reliability, comply with law, and protect users and the Service.

7. How Information May Be Shared

Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the platform, such as hosting, database, authentication, email, monitoring, or game-data providers, subject to their applicable contracts and policies.

Pool-related information may also be visible to commissioners or other participants when necessary for pool functionality, standings, pick reveals, communications, or other features. The visibility of picks may change after applicable lock or kickoff times.

8. Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may preserve or disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or valid governmental requests; to investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents; to enforce our Terms; or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of users or the Service.

9. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the Service, maintain pool and scoring history, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent abuse, and support legitimate business needs. Retention periods may differ by category of information.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information. No internet service or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and users should use strong, unique credentials and protect access to their accounts.

11. Children

Pigskin Pick'em is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly invite children under 18 to create accounts. If we learn that information was collected from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address it.

12. Your Choices

Depending on available account features and applicable law, you may be able to update certain account information, manage notifications, leave pools, or request account-related assistance through the Service.

13. State and Other Privacy Rights

Residents of some jurisdictions may have additional rights regarding access, correction, deletion, portability, or other processing of personal information. Requests may be submitted through the support or contact method made available within the Service. We may need to verify identity before completing a request.

14. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party sites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

15. Changes to this Policy

We may update this policy as the Service, legal requirements, or our information practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version.

16. Contact

Privacy questions or requests may be submitted through the support or contact method made available within Pigskin Pick'em.
