Privacy policy

What we collect on the Build-A-Bookie website and app, why we collect it, and how to reach us.

We don't sell personal data, we don't run ad trackers, and your picks are never used for real-money betting.

Updated August 5, 2026Written in plain language. Not legal advice for your area.

1. Overview

Build-A-Bookie ("we") runs a website at build-a-bookie.com, a mobile app and Stats Quo. All three share one account, the same books and the same record. This policy explains how we handle personal data when you use those surfaces.

2. Data we collect

Account

Email address, display name / username, sign-in identifiers from our authentication provider, and profile fields you choose to set.

Book activity

Books you create or join, roster names, invites, games, props, picks, fake bankrolls, scores and stats, standings, and roles (like book manager or a claimed roster spot).

Technical

Device and app diagnostics via platform defaults; a website session cookie that keeps you signed in; IP and request metadata as processed by our hosting providers.

Contact

If you write via Contact, we receive the name, email, topic, and message you submit.

3. How we use data

  • Run books, settle picks, update standings and send invites
  • Build your Stats Quo record from the scores entered
  • Keep you signed in on the website and app
  • Improve reliability and prevent abuse
  • Respond to support and press requests
  • Comply with law when required

We do not sell personal data. We never use your picks or bankroll for real-money betting of any kind.

4. Service providers

We use trusted cloud providers to run the product: account sign-in, data storage, background processing, and website hosting. Email delivery for Contact and book invites may use a provider such as Resend. Venue subscriptions are billed through a payment processor; we never see or store full card numbers. Each provider acts under their terms and our instructions.

5. Cookies and sessions

The website uses a secure, httpOnly session cookie after you sign in so your pages load while you're signed in. The app keeps you signed in on your device. We do not run third-party ad trackers on public company pages as part of this product design.

6. Sharing

We share data with service providers who help run the product, when you ask us to (e.g. invite links you send), or when required by law. If a book or league is set to public (for example, a league on a Stats Quo venue page), its name, standings, scores and player names can be seen by anyone with the link.

7. Retention

We keep account and book data while your account is active and as needed to operate the product. You can delete your account and associated data anytime from the mobile app (Edit profile) or the website (Profile → Delete account). Some records may remain in backups for a limited period or where we must retain them for legal reasons.

8. Children

The product is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your region). We do not knowingly collect data from children under that age. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Your choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. Use Delete account in the app or on the website, or email vdurham@durhamappdesigns.com and we will respond as required by applicable law.

10. Security

We use industry-standard provider controls (encrypted connections, access rules, secure session cookies). No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date on this page will change when we do. Continued use means you acknowledge the updated policy.
