Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 28, 2026

What we collect

• Account information — your email address and name, handled by our sign-in provider (Clerk) when you create an account.
• Usage analytics — pages viewed and features used, via Google Analytics, to understand what's useful and what's broken.
• Activity on your account — when you're signed in, we also keep our own record of when you sign in, which pages you view, how long a page stays open in your browser, and actions like following a team or starting checkout. For visitors who aren't signed in, we record only the sign-in and sign-up pages and the ranking pages that ask you to sign up. We use this to decide which features to build or remove. We do not record search text, and we store page paths without their query strings.
• Payment information — when subscriptions launch, payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store full card numbers.
• Support messages — what you send through the feedback widget or email, so we can respond.

Player statistics and minors

DugoutData compiles game results and player statistics from publicly available scorekeeping records published by teams and tournaments. Because these statistics describe youth athletes, we take deliberate precautions:

• Player names are displayed as first name and last initial only.
• We do not publish players' contact information, addresses, birthdates, or photos.
• We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Accounts are for adults — parents, guardians, and coaches.

If you are a parent or guardian and want your child's statistics removed or corrected, contact us via the Help & Feedback button on any page — we honor these requests promptly.

What we don't do

We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't send marketing email you didn't sign up for.

Third-party services

We rely on: Clerk (authentication), Google Analytics (usage analytics), Railway (hosting), and Stripe (payments, when subscriptions launch). Each processes only the data needed for its function, under its own privacy policy.

Cookies

We use cookies for sign-in sessions (required), analytics (Google Analytics), and a few first-party cookies of our own: one that remembers where you first arrived from (for example a link or search) so we can tell which channels bring people to the site, and two random identifiers that group your visits so we can understand activity across a session (one lasts up to a year, the other about 30 minutes).

Data retention & deletion

Account data is kept while your account is active. Detailed activity records (individual page views and sign-ins) are deleted after 90 days; only per-visit summaries are kept after that, and those are deleted with your account. To delete your account and associated personal data, contact us via the Help & Feedback button.

Changes

Material changes to this policy will be announced on the site or by email before they take effect.
