Privacy Policy

Last updated October 31, 2026

This policy explains what Slate (“Slate,” “we,” “us”), at slatescores.com and in the Slate desktop and mobile apps, collects and why. Slate is a sports scores and bet-tracking tool. We do not sell your personal information.

What we collect

• Without an account: your favorites, fantasy teams, bet slips and settings are stored on your device (browser local storage). We don’t receive them.
• If you create an account (optional): your email address, display name, profile photo (if you add one), sign-in provider (e.g., Google), and the lists you choose to sync (favorites, fantasy teams, bet slips). These are stored with Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore).
• Bet slip screenshots: when you upload a screenshot, the text is read in your browser. The image is not uploaded to our servers. Only the bets you confirm are saved.
• Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand which features are used (pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type). See our Cookies & Analytics notice; you can opt out.
• Server logs: our host (Fly.io) records standard request logs such as IP address and time, kept briefly for security and troubleshooting.

How we use it

• To provide and sync your account across devices.
• To keep the service secure and fix problems.
• To improve features using aggregate analytics.

We do not use your data for advertising profiles, and we do not share it except with the service providers below or when required by law.

Service providers

• Google Firebase (sign-in, data storage), Google Analytics (usage measurement), Fly.io (hosting).
• Sports data (scores, odds, schedules) comes from public ESPN feeds; we send them no personal information about you.

Your choices and rights

• Use Slate without an account. Everything still works on your device.
• Edit your profile, email, password and sign-in methods on the Account page.
• Ask us to access, correct, export or delete your account data by emailing slatescores@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days.
• California, Virginia, Colorado and other US state residents, and residents of the EU/UK, may have additional rights (access, deletion, correction, portability, and to object). Email us to exercise them; we won’t discriminate against you for doing so.

Retention

Account data is kept while your account exists and is deleted within 30 days of a deletion request. Data stored on your device stays until you clear it.

Children

Slate is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/UK), and the bet-tracking features are intended for adults of legal betting age. We don’t knowingly collect children’s information. Contact us if you believe a child has provided data and we’ll delete it.

Security

We use industry-standard providers and access rules that limit each account’s data to that signed-in user. No system is perfectly secure.

Changes

We’ll post updates here and change the “Last updated” date. Significant changes will be noted in the app.
