Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal information Anchor collects, how we use it and the choices you have. We collect as little as we can, we never sell your personal information, and we don’t run ads.

Information you give us

• Account details: your email address and, if you sign in with Google or Discord, the name and profile picture that provider shares.
• Saved slips: tickets you choose to save, such as the game, legs, odds, stake and your confidence setting.
• Plan choices: the plan you’re on or have reserved.
• Messages: your name, email, topic and message when you contact us.

Information collected automatically

• Usage analytics (only if you accept analytics cookies): pages viewed and features used, such as picking a lock or opening the review sheet, along with device, browser and approximate location from your IP address.
• Aggregate traffic stats that don’t use cookies or identify you.
• Technical logs such as IP address, request time and errors, kept briefly for security and debugging.

We don’t collect your sportsbook logins, bets placed, payment card numbers or government ID.

• To run Anchor: sign you in, save your slips and manage your plan;
• To reply to your messages and send important service notices;
• To understand which features help people, and improve them;
• To keep Anchor secure and prevent abuse; and
• To meet legal obligations.

• Essential: sign-in session cookies that keep you logged in, and a small setting in your browser that remembers your cookie choice. These are always on because Anchor can’t work without them.
• Analytics (optional): product analytics cookies from PostHog, set only after you click “Accept all”. You can change your mind anytime.
• Cookieless traffic stats: anonymous, aggregate page-view counts from our hosting provider that don’t use cookies.

Cookie settings to update your choice.

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run Anchor, under contracts that limit how they use it:

• Google Firebase: authentication and database hosting;
• PostHog: product analytics, if you opt in;
• Our hosting provider: serving the site and cookieless traffic stats;
• Sign-in providers (Google, Discord) when you choose to use them; and
• Payment processors once paid plans launch. They handle card details directly; we never see them.

Odds and roster data come from third-party feeds; we don’t send them your personal information. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect people’s safety, or as part of a merger or sale of the business.

We keep account data and saved slips while your account is open. Contact messages are kept for up to two years. Analytics data is kept for up to 12 months. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal information within 30 days, except where we must keep it by law.

Depending on where you live (including under California’s CCPA/CPRA and the EU/UK GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, download or delete your personal information, and to object to or limit certain uses. We honour these requests for everyone, wherever you are.

To make a request, use our contact form and choose “Privacy or data request”. We’ll verify it’s you and respond within 30 days. We won’t treat you differently for using your rights.

We use encryption in transit, row-level access controls so each account can only reach its own data, and passwordless sign-in. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to protect your information and will tell you promptly if a breach affects you.

Anchor is only for people aged 21 and over. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you think we have, contact us and we’ll delete it.

We’ll post any changes here and update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we’ll tell you by email or in the app before it applies.
