Privacy Policy

Last updated April 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Best Ball Team Builder ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use bestballteambuilder.com (the "Site"). We are committed to being straightforward about what we collect and why.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide directly:

• Email address — collected when you create an account via Clerk authentication
• Fantasy portfolio data — teams, drafts, and other fantasy football data you save while using the Site

Information collected automatically:

• Usage and analytics data — pages visited, session duration, time of day, approximate location (country/region), browser type, and device type, collected via Google Analytics
• IP address — collected automatically by our hosting provider (Netlify) for security and performance purposes

Information collected by third-party services:

• Payment information — if you upgrade to Pro, your payment is processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as race, ethnicity, health data, biometric data, or precise geolocation.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and maintain the Site and its features
• Authenticate your account and manage your session
• Save and display your fantasy portfolio data
• Process payments for Pro subscriptions
• Understand how the Site is used so we can improve it
• Communicate with you about your account or the service
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for advertising, we do not build marketing profiles, and we do not sell your data.

3. How we share your information

We share your information only with the third-party services that help us operate the Site:

• Clerk — authentication and account management. Privacy policy
• Google Firebase / Firestore — secure storage of your email and portfolio data. Privacy policy
• Stripe — payment processing for Pro subscriptions. Privacy policy
• Google Analytics — anonymous traffic and usage analytics. Privacy policy
• Netlify — website hosting and delivery. Privacy policy

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your data with advertisers or marketing platforms. We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would notify you of any such change.

4. Cookies and analytics

We use a small number of cookies to operate the Site and understand how it is used. We do not use advertising cookies. For full details on the cookies we set and your choices, see our Cookie Policy.

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors use the Site - including pages viewed, session duration, approximate location, and time of visit. This data is used solely by us and is not sold or shared for advertising purposes. If you are visiting from the EU or UK, you will be asked for consent before analytics cookies are set. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time via Google's opt-out tool.

5. How long we keep your information

We retain your account information (email and portfolio data) for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion of your account, we will delete your personal data within a reasonable timeframe unless we are required by law to retain it.

Analytics data collected via Google Analytics is retained for 14 months per Google's default retention settings.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Your account is secured through Clerk's authentication system, and your data is stored in Google Firebase with access controls in place. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe and never passes through our servers.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Your rights

Regardless of where you are located, you can:

• Access your data — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correct your data — update your email address through your account settings
• Delete your data — request deletion of your account and associated data
• Withdraw consent — for analytics cookies, you can withdraw consent at any time via your browser or our cookie consent settings

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@bestballteambuilder.com.

9. US state privacy rights

If you are a resident of California or another US state with applicable privacy laws, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion of your data, and opt out of the sale of your personal information.

We do not sell personal information. The personal information we collect is limited to your email address, fantasy portfolio data, and anonymous analytics data as described in this policy.

To exercise your rights, email us at info@bestballteambuilder.com. We will respond within 45 days.

10. EU and UK rights

If you are located in the EU or UK, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability.

The legal bases we rely on to process your data are:

• Contract — processing your email and portfolio data to provide the service you signed up for
• Legitimate interests — anonymous analytics to understand and improve the Site
• Consent — analytics cookies for EU/UK visitors, which you can withdraw at any time
• Legal obligation — where required by applicable law

If you believe we are processing your data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In the UK this is the ICO. In the EU, contact your member state authority.

11. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals, and we do not currently alter our data practices based on them. EU and UK visitors can control analytics tracking via our cookie consent banner.

12. Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by a notice on the Site.
