Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Scoreboard Don’t Lie (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the website, applications, content, tools, notifications and related services offered under the name The Scoreboard Don’t Lie (the “Service”). It applies to visitors to our public pages and to members who hold an account.

It does not apply to the practices of third parties we do not control, including sportsbooks, leagues, data providers and other websites the Service may link to. Each of those has its own privacy policy, which governs your dealings with it.

By using the Service you acknowledge the practices described here. This Policy is part of our Terms of Service.

We collect information in the categories below. We do not collect, and ask you never to send us, government identification numbers, financial account numbers, precise geolocation, health information or any other sensitive personal information.

Account and authentication information

• Your email address and the name you provide, and a unique account identifier assigned to you.
• If you sign in through a third-party sign-in option, the identifier and basic profile details that provider shares with us for that purpose.
• Sign-in and session records: when you signed in, the session tokens that keep you signed in, and the devices or browsers associated with your sessions.
• A record of your acceptance of our Terms and this Policy, including the version accepted, when, and the browser used to accept.

Subscription and payment information

• Your subscription plan, status, billing period dates and the customer and subscription references our payment processor assigns to you.
• Payment outcomes, such as whether a charge succeeded or a dispute was raised. Your full card number and other payment credentials are collected directly by our payment processor and are never received, seen or stored by us.

Information you choose to enter

• Entries you make in features of the Service — for example plays or selections you record in your personal tracker, the sportsbook or price you note alongside them, and the results the Service later attaches to them.
• Your preferences, such as which alerts you turn on and for which games, and the browser or device registrations needed to deliver those alerts.
• Answers you give to any survey or poll we offer, and any message, request or feedback you send us.

Usage information

• Which pages, tabs, features and sports you open, when, and how long pages take to load. We use this to understand which parts of the Service are used and to keep it fast.
• Which announcements or notices you have seen, so we do not show you the same one twice.

Device, browser and connection information

• Your browser type and version, operating system, screen size, language and similar technical settings, so that pages render correctly on your device.
• The network address your requests come from, the page requested and the time. Every website receives this with each request; ours is kept in standard server logs and used to run the Service, keep it secure and investigate misuse.
• Technical details attached to an error report when something on a page breaks, so that we can fix it.

About network addresses: a network address can suggest a general area — typically a metropolitan region, often tens of miles across, and sometimes a different city from the one you are in. It is not your precise location. We do not look up, map or store a location for you, we do not track where you go, and we never use a network address to target anything at you.

• Directly from you, when you create an account, subscribe, change a setting, enter something into a feature or contact us.
• Automatically, from your browser or device, as you use the Service.
• From our service providers acting on our behalf — for example, our authentication provider tells us when you have signed in and our payment processor tells us whether a charge succeeded.
• From a third-party sign-in provider, if you choose to use one, to the extent you allow it to share your details with us.

We do not buy personal information from data brokers, and we do not combine the information we hold with information about you from advertising networks or social media.

We use the information described above to:

• Create, secure and administer your account, keep you signed in and verify that you are the person using it.
• Provide the Service and its features, including displaying your own entries, preferences and alert settings back to you, delivering alerts you have asked for, and remembering what you have already seen.
• Process subscriptions and payments, manage renewals and cancellations, and respond to billing questions and disputes.
• Communicate with you about the Service: account and billing notices, changes to our Terms or this Policy, responses to your requests, and information about features. You may opt out of non-essential email at any time.
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot and improve the Service, including measuring page speed, diagnosing errors and understanding which features are used, in aggregate wherever possible.
• Protect the Service, our members and others: detect and prevent account sharing, unauthorized access, abuse, automated scraping, payment fraud and violations of our Terms, and enforce our agreements.
• Confirm eligibility, including age and residency requirements, where we are required or choose to do so.
• Comply with law, respond to lawful requests, and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• Produce aggregated or de-identified statistics that do not identify you, which we may use for any purpose. Where we de-identify information we keep it in that form, do not attempt to re-identify it except to test that our methods work, and require anyone we share it with to do the same.

We do not use your personal information for behavioral or targeted advertising, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not share it with advertising networks. We do not use your entries to place, recommend or influence any wager.

We share personal information only as described here, and only as much as is needed for the purpose.

Service providers who process it for us

We rely on a small number of established service providers to run the Service. Each receives only the information needed to perform its function, is contractually bound to use it only on our instructions and to protect it, and may not use it for its own purposes. By category, they are:

If you would like the current list of providers by name, ask us at the address in Section 15 and we will send it.

Other circumstances

• Legal requirements. We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that doing so is required by law, subpoena, court order or other legal process, or is necessary to respond to a lawful request from a public authority.
• Protection of rights and safety. We may disclose information where we believe it is necessary to enforce our Terms, to investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, security issues or violations of law, or to protect the rights, property or safety of our members, the public or us.
• Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets or similar transaction, or in the unlikely event of insolvency, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. This Policy will continue to apply to it unless you are notified otherwise.
• With your direction. We will share information with others when you ask us to.
• Aggregated or de-identified information. We may share statistics that do not identify you, such as how many members follow a particular sport.

We do not share your tracker entries, preferences or any other personal information with any sportsbook, league, team or data provider.

We do not sell personal information, we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we have not done so in the preceding twelve months. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 18.

Because we do not sell or share personal information in those senses, there is nothing for you to opt out of. If that ever changes, we will update this Policy, provide the opt-out that the law requires, and honor browser-based opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control.

We use cookies and similar browser storage for the purposes below. Each is either strictly necessary for the Service to work or used only to remember your own settings on your own device.

• Signing you in and keeping you signed in between pages and visits.
• Protecting your session and the Service against misuse, including distinguishing you from automated traffic.
• Remembering your choices, such as a theme, a sport, a tab or a date you last looked at, so the Service opens where you left it.
• Recording that you have accepted our Terms and dismissed a notice.

We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, cross-site analytics or any technology that follows you across other websites. Because we use no tracking cookies, we do not respond differently to a browser’s “Do Not Track” setting. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but if you block the ones needed to sign in you will not be able to use member features.

We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, and then delete or de-identify it. In general:

• Account information, your entries and your preferences are kept for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, or we close it, we delete or de-identify this information from our active systems within 30 days.
• Subscription and payment records are kept for as long as needed to meet tax, accounting and payment-dispute obligations, generally up to seven years after the transaction.
• Consent records are kept for the life of your account plus the period needed to demonstrate compliance.
• Server request logs and technical error reports are kept for a short period — typically 30 to 90 days — under the retention schedules of the providers that hold them.
• Speed readings and usage statistics are stored without your account identifier and are periodically condensed into aggregates.
• Routine backups are retained on a rolling basis for a limited period and then overwritten; information deleted from active systems ages out of backups on that schedule.

We may keep information longer where required by law, where needed to resolve a dispute or enforce our agreements, or where it has been de-identified so that it no longer identifies you.

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, appropriate to the nature of the information. They include encryption of information in transit, access controls that limit who can reach personal information, separation of our systems from public access, and the use of established providers that maintain their own independently assessed security programs. We never hold your payment credentials.

No method of storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You can help by choosing a strong, unique password or a secure sign-in method, by not sharing your account, and by telling us promptly if you notice anything unusual.

If something goes wrong

If we learn of a security incident that affects your personal information and that the law requires us to tell you about, we will notify you without unreasonable delay and within the time the applicable law allows, using the email address on your account or a prominent notice within the Service, and we will notify regulators where the law requires it. Our notice will describe, to the extent we know it, what happened, what information was involved, what we are doing about it and what you can do. We will cooperate with law enforcement and may delay notice where the law permits a delay for that purpose.

You have choices about your information, and depending on where you live you may have legal rights to exercise. We extend the following to every member regardless of location:

• Access and portability. You may ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, in a portable format where feasible.
• Correction. You can update your name and email address in your account settings, and you may ask us to correct anything else that is inaccurate.
• Deletion. You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. Doing so cancels any subscription at the end of the paid period and removes your personal information from our active systems within 30 days, subject to the retention rules in Section 8. You may also ask us to delete specific information.
• Alerts and email. You can turn alerts off in your account or device settings, and you can opt out of non-essential email using the link in any such message. Account, billing, security and legal notices will continue for as long as you hold an account.
• No discrimination. We will not deny you the Service, charge you a different price or provide a different level of service because you exercised a privacy right.

To exercise a right, use your account settings or contact us at the address in Section 15 from the email address on your account. We will verify your request by confirming your control of that address, may ask for more information where needed to protect your account, and may decline a request we cannot verify. We respond within the time the law requires — generally 45 days, extendable once by a further 45 days with notice. If we decline a request in whole or in part, we will tell you why and how to appeal. You may authorize an agent to make a request for you; we will need proof of that authorization and will still verify your identity directly.

Several U.S. states give their residents specific privacy rights. The rights in Section 10 are available to you wherever you live. This Section adds the disclosures those laws call for.

California

In the past twelve months we have collected the categories of personal information listed in Section 2: identifiers (such as email address, name, account identifier and network address); customer records (such as subscription records); commercial information (such as plan and payment outcomes); internet or network activity (such as pages viewed and device details); and inferences drawn only to the extent of remembering your own preferences. We collect them from the sources in Section 3 for the purposes in Section 4, and disclose them for business purposes to the categories of service providers in Section 5. We do not sell or share personal information, we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by law, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16. California residents have the right to know, access, correct and delete personal information, to limit the use of sensitive personal information, to opt out of sale or sharing, and to be free from discrimination, and may exercise them as described in Section 10. Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, you may ask once a year whether we have disclosed personal information to third parties for their direct-marketing purposes; we have not.

Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and other states with comprehensive privacy laws

Residents of these states may have the right to confirm whether we process their personal data, to access, correct, delete and obtain a copy of it, to opt out of targeted advertising, sale and profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, and to appeal a refusal. We do not engage in targeted advertising, sale or such profiling. You may exercise your rights and appeal a decision as described in Section 10; if your appeal is denied, you may contact your state attorney general.

Nevada

We do not sell covered information as defined by Nevada law. Nevada residents may nonetheless submit a request to the address in Section 15 to be placed on a no-sale list.

The Service is for adults. It is not directed to, and may not be used by, anyone under 18, or under 21 where the law of the place where they live requires that age for the content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have done so, we will delete it and close the account. If you believe a minor has provided us with information, contact us at the address in Section 15.

We operate from the United States and our providers store and process information in the United States. The Service is intended for residents of the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative, and you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those of your home country.

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make a material change we will notify you by email, by a prominent notice or acceptance screen within the Service, or both, before the change takes effect, and we will update the effective date at the top. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Policy. We will not use personal information collected under a prior version in a materially different way without first giving you notice and, where the law requires it, obtaining your consent.
