Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Shrimmage (“we”) collects when you use Shrimmage, what we do with it, who can see it, and the choices you have. It covers the website and its scorekeeper tablets. It applies alongside our Terms of Service.

1. What We Collect

From You

Your account: your name and email address, through our sign-in provider, Clerk. We don't receive your password.
Your profile: an optional nickname, your birth date, the hand you throw with, your postal code (and, if you choose, street, city and state), how far you'll travel for a league, and your email preferences. Your birth date is used to check that you are old enough to use the Service, and to celebrate your birthday in your leagues: for the seven days around it, in a league that meets that week, other players in that league see a 🎂 beside your name. That cake is all they see — your birth date itself is never shown to anyone, not organizers and not other players. You can turn the cake off at any time under Account Settings.
What you add: team names, scoreboard images you upload, scores you enter or report, and messages you send as an organizer.
Other people's email addresses, when you invite a teammate, a co-owner or a commissioner. We use an invitee's address to send that invitation and to match it to their account when they accept. Until a teammate accepts, their address also stands in for their name on the team's roster (see “What other people can see”); after they accept, their account name replaces it, and the address stays with the invitation and roster records.

From Playing

Which leagues, teams and tournaments you're part of, your games, scores and throw-by-throw statistics, check-ins, dues and payment status, and ratings organizers or captains give you.
A record of changes made to a league, and who made them.
The players and competitions you follow, and the notices you've read.

From Payments

Payments go through Stripe. We keep a record of each payment — who paid, how much, for what, and any refund — and the Stripe identifiers that link your account to your Stripe customer record and any subscription. Your card details go to Stripe, not to us. Organizers who accept payments give Stripe their business and bank details directly.

Automatically

Our servers log requests (including IP addresses) to keep the Service running and secure. We use a handful of cookies and browser storage for sign-in, preferences and keeping a game in progress — the Cookie Policy lists every one. We don't use advertising trackers. We don't collect your precise location; “near you” is worked out from the postal code you give us. When a game is saved from one of our scoreboards, we also note which scoring keypad was used (Basic, Exacto or In/On), whether it was scored on a venue's scorekeeper tablet or on a phone or computer, and whether the scoreboard's animations were on — a note kept with the game, not with whoever was scoring it.

Usage Recording, If You Allow It

When you first visit, we ask whether we may record how you use the Service. If you say yes, our analytics provider, PostHog, records the pages you open, what you click or tap, which steps of signing up and joining you finish (such as finishing your profile, accepting an invitation or signing up for a league, and what kind each was), errors you run into, and a replay of the screen as you use it, along with your browser and device type, your IP address and the approximate location it suggests. Once you sign in, the recording is linked to your account by an ID — not your name or email address. What you type into forms is never recorded, and email addresses and the codes and links that let somebody into a league or onto a scorekeeper tablet are blanked or removed before anything leaves your browser. If you say no, we count only visits and errors, anonymously, without keeping any ID in your browser. PostHog never records a scorekeeper tablet's scoreboard. You can change your answer at any time on the Cookie Policy page.

2. How We Use It

To run the Service: rosters, schedules, scoring, standings, statistics and brackets.
To take payments for organizers, and to handle refunds and disputes.
To find leagues near you, using your postal code.
To send email: invitations someone asks us to send you, and notices about your own leagues — schedules, results, payments, reminders. You can turn each kind of league notice off in Account Settings or with the unsubscribe link in the notice. Invitations are one-off messages sent because another user invited you; they have no unsubscribe link, and you can simply ignore them. We send news about the Service, or about new leagues near you, only if you said yes to them, and through Mailchimp: each one has Mailchimp's unsubscribe link, and saying no to both in Account Settings unsubscribes you too.
To find and fix what's broken or confusing, and to see which scoring options people actually use, from usage recordings you allowed, anonymous counts of visits and errors, and the notes kept with saved games.
To keep the Service secure and to prevent spam and abuse.
To comply with the law and enforce our Terms.

We don't sell your information, and we don't share it for advertising.

3. What Other People Can See

Anyone, even without an account, can see:

League and tournament pages: team names, standings, results, schedules, brackets, and the venue and club running them. Some tournament formats list the players in each round by name.
Each match's summary — a bracket match, or a regular-season or seeding-round matchup in a league: who played in it, by name — or by nickname, if you set one. Before a lineup has been named, the players on each team's roster are listed instead, marked as the roster. Also shown: their statistics for that match, including while it's being played, a pre-match estimate of who is favored drawn from past results, and how that same lineup has done against the same opponents across the Service (a win–loss count only, never which games or leagues it came from). The name of a teammate whose invitation hasn't been accepted yet is never shown there. This is public while the league or tournament is in progress. Once it has finished, who can still open a match's summary depends on the plan they're on, and someone who isn't signed in is treated as being on the free plan; the team names and the score stay public either way.
Global Stats and player pages: every player who has played, by name — or by nickname, if you set one — with their statistics and how many leagues they've played in. These pages don't say which leagues; a match's summary does show the league or tournament that match belonged to.
Team scoreboard images and sponsor logos shown on those pages.

Global Stats is open to search engines, so the names and statistics on it can appear in search results. We ask search engines not to index individual player and dynasty pages.

Anyone with an account can also see each team's roster by name — including, until they accept, the email address of a teammate who has been invited (a match's summary, which anyone can open, names the roster before a lineup is named, but never that address) — which leagues a player has played in, for which team and where they finished, and the players and teams behind each dynasty.

People in your league can see the schedule, results and statistics for that league, and the rating the organizer gives each player in its free-agent pool. Unless you turn it off, they also see a 🎂 beside your name for the seven days around your birthday, which tells them roughly when it is but never the date or your age.

The organizers of a league or tournament you join can see your name, your roster spots, check-ins, dues and payment status, and can reach you through the Service. Your account email address may be available to them for that purpose — including, if you join a league's free-agent pool, to the organizers running it. They can't see your birth date or your address.

We use these service providers, who process information on our behalf:

Clerk — sign-in and account security.
Stripe — payments, saved cards, subscriptions and payouts to organizers. Checkout happens on Stripe's own pages, under Stripe's privacy policy.
Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES) — delivering email.
Mailchimp — sending news about the Service and about new leagues near you, only to people who said yes to either. It receives your name, your email address and which of the two you said yes to.
Cloudflare — securely connecting the Service to the internet.
PostHog — usage recording and error reports, as described above, in the United States.
Our hosting and database providers.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect people's safety or our rights, or as part of a sale or transfer of the Service (in which case this policy would continue to apply).

Sponsor images are loaded from the website the organizer chose. That website sees your IP address when the image loads, but not which page you were on.

5. How Long We Keep It

We keep your information for as long as you have an account. League and tournament records — results, standings, payments — are kept after a season ends, because they are the league's history and, for payments, financial records we must keep.

6. Deleting Your Account

You can delete your account at any time: open the account menu, choose Manage account, then Delete account. When you do, we delete your account, or — where it is tied to a payment you made or a scorekeeper tablet you set up — we anonymize it instead: its name becomes “Deleted user”, and its email address, nickname, birth date, address, email preferences and follows are erased. If you were on our mailing list, you are taken off it.

Some records keep what they were made with. Past league results keep the roster name the league recorded for you. Roster spots and invitations keep the email address an invitation was sent to. Our security and audit log of account events and changes to leagues records the email address of the account involved, including a record that the account was deleted. Payment records are kept as the law requires.

Deleting your account doesn't cancel a paid plan or remove a card you've saved. Cancel the plan with Manage billing in Account Settings and ask us to remove the card ([email protected]) before you delete it — or contact us afterwards and we will.

7. Your Choices and Rights

See and correct your profile at any time in Account Settings.
Get a copy of the information we hold about you, or ask us to delete or correct something you can't change yourself, by emailing [email protected]. We'll respond within 45 days.
Stop league emails from Account Settings or the unsubscribe link in any league email.
Choose how you appear: set a nickname and it replaces your account name on public pages.
Turn usage recording on or off for your browser at any time on the Cookie Policy page.

Depending on where you live — California, for example — you may have further rights over your information. We will honor them, and we won't treat you differently for using them. Because we don't sell or share information for advertising, there is nothing to opt out of there; browser “Do Not Track” and Global Privacy Control signals don't change anything we do.

8. Children

The Service is not for children under 13. Setting up an account asks for a birthday; a birthday under 13 is refused with a message saying so, it isn't stored, and the account can't be set up. An account that never finishes setup holds only the name and email address it signed up with, and we don't delete it automatically. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it. Players aged 13–17 need a parent or guardian's agreement to use the Service.

9. Security

We protect your information with encryption in transit, access controls and hashed credentials for invitations and tablets. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we'll tell you as the law requires.

10. Where It's Stored

The Service is run from, and your information is stored in, the United States.

11. Changes to This Policy

If we make a significant change, we'll tell you in the Service or by email before it takes effect. The date at the top shows when this version took effect.
