🔒 Privacy

What we collect

• Your name and email, so your commissioner can invite you and the site can send you pick reminders, weekly recaps, and password resets. Nothing promotional, ever.
• Your password, stored hashed. We couldn't read it if we wanted to.
• Your picks, points, badges, and comments, because that's the game.
• Your favorite teams, if you choose to share them. They're optional and kept private.
• Donation records, if you chip in for the domain: the amount and which player gave. Card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our server.

What we don't do

• No ads, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no third-party trackers of any kind.
• No selling, renting, or sharing your information with anyone.
• No cookies beyond the single session cookie that keeps you logged in, scoped to your league's own subdomain.

Who can see what

• Other players see your alias, not your real name, unless you flip the reveal toggle in the Locker Room yourself.
• Your commissioner sees real names and emails for invitations and player management, but never which alias belongs to which name. Even the commissioner plays blind.
• Each league is isolated. Players in one tailgate can't see another tailgate's players, picks, or anything else.
• The server operator (the person hosting the site) has database access to keep things running, and is bound by everything on this page.

Your data, your call

Want a copy of your data, or want out entirely? Tell your commissioner. Removing your account deletes your name, email, and identity from the league. It's a friendly game; nobody's data is held hostage.

The fine print that isn't fine print

• The Tailgate is for players 13 and older.
• If this page ever changes, the changes show up here. With a site this simple, don't expect drama.
• Last updated August 2026.
