Privacy

Prepline collects almost nothing, and this page is short because of that rather than in spite of it.

What is stored

A display name: Whatever you typed at sign-up. It is free text, it is not checked, and nothing verifies it is yours. Call yourself anything.
Your paper bets: Which prices you took, for how many units, and how they graded. Tied to an account id, not to you.
An id in your browser: Kept in local storage so you return to the same ledger. Clear your browser data and the account is unreachable — there is no recovery, because there is nothing to recover it with.

What is not stored

No email, no password: Sign-up asks for a name and nothing else. There is no account to compromise.
No payment details: Nothing here accepts money. The database refuses a currency column, and a test fails if that changes.
No analytics, no advertising, no third-party trackers: No page here loads a script from an analytics or advertising vendor.
A counter, and what it cannot count: Pages are counted on this site’s own server while they are built: a route, a date, and a number. No script runs in your browser, nothing is written to it, and the count carries no address, no session and no id — not even a hashed one. It exists so a sponsor can be told how often a page is read, and the honest consequence is that it cannot tell anyone how many people read it, because people are not what it measures.
One cookie, and it holds a list of states: Choosing states to follow writes them to a cookie — literally TX,IL. It is sent with each page request, because the slate is filtered before the page is built, and that is the whole of what it is for. It identifies nothing, is not read by anyone else, and clearing it puts every state back.
A result you send in: If you use the results form, what you typed is stored: the schools, the date, the score, the link, and a name only if you gave one. It is about a game, not about you, and it is not published — a reviewer reads it. Leave the name blank and nothing in the row points at anybody.
Nothing else leaves the browser: The account id and a remembered filter or two stay in local storage, which is never sent anywhere. No cookie here tracks you between sites, because there is no second site and nothing to correlate.

Who sees it

Your name on the leaderboard: If you place a bet you appear there, with the name you chose and your unit total. That is the point of a leaderboard. Your account id is never published — it is the only value here that behaves like a credential.
Nobody else: Nothing is sold, shared or sent anywhere.

Removing an account

Start over: The account menu has “Start over with a new account”, which forgets the id in your browser.
Deletion: Write to edmcnichols88@gmail.com, or use the contact page, and the row goes. There is no identity attached to it, so quote the display name.

This is a description of how the software behaves, written to be accurate rather than to be a contract. If something here does not match what the code does, the code is the bug.
