- ▸Bet tracker entries: only if you log bets with us (optional)
- ▸Support messages: messages you send us through the support widget
- ▸Win submissions: screenshots + captions you voluntarily upload
- ▸Referral code cookies: if you arrived via a partner link
What we do NOT collect
- ✗No credit card data (Stripe holds that)
- ✗No social security number or banking info
- ✗No cross-site tracking (no Facebook pixel, no Google analytics trackers)
- ✗No location data
- ✗No contacts or device identifiers

Security
Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Sessions are signed and HTTP-only. All traffic is encrypted over HTTPS. Database access is restricted to our application server.
No system is perfectly secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, email support@thepickbook.com immediately.
Kids
The Pick Book is for adults only (21+ or 18+ where state law permits). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn we have, we'll delete it.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be emailed to active members. Minor edits (typos, clarifications) are made without notice.
