Privacy Policy

Effective August 29, 2026

The short version

We collect as little as we can. You can browse records and look up a wrestler without an account. If you make an account we hold your email; if you buy a pass, Stripe handles the payment and we store only the fact that you bought it. We do not sell your data and we do not run ad networks.

What we collect

Account information. If you sign up, our authentication provider (Clerk) stores your name, email address, and login credentials. We do not store your password.

Purchase information. Payments run through Stripe. We receive a confirmation and store which season you unlocked. We never receive or store your full card number.

Roster and reports. Wrestlers and teams you follow, and any correction reports you submit, are stored against your account.

Technical data. Standard server and hosting logs — IP address, browser type, pages requested — used to keep the site running, diagnose errors, and enforce rate limits against abuse.

Competition results. Wrestler names, schools, grades, weight classes, match results, and placements, compiled from published tournament data. See below.

Competition results and athletes

The archive is built from wrestling results that have already been published — tournament brackets and results posted by event operators and results providers, and information supplied directly by event operators. It records competition facts: who wrestled, for which school, at what weight, and who won.

We do not collect contact details, addresses, birth dates, transcripts, grades or coursework, or any other personal information about athletes. The only school-related details held are the school a wrestler competed for and the grade level printed on a bracket. Many wrestlers are minors, and the data held about them is deliberately limited to what appears on a published bracket.

If you are a wrestler, or the parent or guardian of one, and you want a record corrected or want to discuss removal, contact us and we will work with you. Corrections are made by hand and we take them seriously.

How we use it

To operate the site: authenticate you, grant the access you paid for, and show results.

To compute ratings, rankings, records, and badges from match results.

To keep the service working and honest: diagnose errors, prevent abuse and scraping, and enforce rate limits.

To reply to you when you contact us or report a problem.

We do not use your personal information to train advertising profiles, and we do not sell or rent it.

Who we share it with

Only the service providers needed to run the site, and only for that purpose. Today those are our authentication provider (Clerk), our payment processor (Stripe), our hosting and database providers, and our rate-limiting provider.

Aggregate giveback totals are published. Individual buyers are not named publicly.

We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of users and the service.

Cookies

We use cookies that are necessary for the site to work — principally to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

How long we keep it

Account information is kept while your account exists. Purchase records are kept as long as needed for accounting and tax obligations. Competition results are kept indefinitely — a permanent, checkable record is the point of the archive.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and the data attached to it. Email us and we will action it.

Deleting an account does not remove published competition results from the archive, which are separate from your account. Requests about a specific athlete's record are handled as described above.

California residents have rights under the CCPA, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

Security

Data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored with reputable providers. Access to production data is limited. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it. Material changes will be noted on the site.
