Privacy Policy

Picks Leagues stores the minimum it needs to run pick'em leagues, and nothing else. This page describes exactly what that is.

What we store

• Your OAuth profile: when you sign in with Google or Discord we receive and store your name, email address, and avatar URL. That is the only personal information collected — there are no forms asking for more, and no file uploads.
• What you do in the app: your username, an optional avatar URL you set yourself, your leagues and memberships, and your picks and their results.
• A session cookie to keep you signed in, and your theme preference in your browser's local storage. Neither is used to track you.
• Server logs kept by our hosting provider for operating and debugging the service.

What we don't do

• No emails — the service never sends any, marketing or otherwise.
• No third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
• No selling or sharing of your data with anyone.
• No payment information — the service is free and stores none.

Who sees what

Members of a league you join can see your display name, username, avatar, and — once each game locks at kickoff — your picks and results. Your email address is never shown to other members. Public leagues additionally list their name and member count in discovery for any signed-in user.

Service providers

The app runs on Vercel (hosting) and Neon (database), which process data on our behalf. Google and Discord handle sign-in under their own privacy policies. Sports schedules and scores come from ESPN's public data; no user data is sent to ESPN.

Deleting your account

Deleting your account is permanent and immediate, and it works by anonymizing your profile in place rather than erasing your rows: your username is released for others to claim, your display name is replaced with a "Deleted User" placeholder, your email is replaced with a non-identifying placeholder, and your avatar, sign-in identities, and sessions are removed. Your picks, results, and standings history remain in your leagues, attributed to the anonymous placeholder — league history stays intact for the people you played with, while nothing identifying you remains. Signing in again with the same provider afterward creates a brand-new account.
