Required to take money
Privacy policy
This wording is still being finalized ahead of launch. What follows describes how DraftCast actually works today; the final policy may change before we take payment.
What this site collects
This site (the pages under site/) sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and
loads no third-party scripts, fonts, or trackers — see site/README.md for
what "self-contained" means here. The "Book a draft" form collects the fields shown on
that form and nothing else: your name, your email address, and the optional platform,
league size, draft date and notes. It posts to us directly — no third-party form service
is involved. Every submission is stored on our server first; that store is the record of
truth. Where we have configured an email relay, a copy is also forwarded to our own
mailbox so we see it promptly, but the relay is a convenience layered on top, never a
replacement for the store — until it is configured, or if a delivery hiccup happens on
our end, your submission is still safely recorded and does not go anywhere.
What the product collects
DraftCast's live product (a separate, non-static system this page does not cover) stores the event stream from a connected draft, the league record, and the signed-in commissioner's basic Google profile information. Watchers hold a share link only — no account, no personal data collected from them.
Deleting your data
A commissioner can delete a single league's data — the draft's event stream, its broadcast configuration, any stored platform credentials, its bookings, and the league record itself — or delete their whole account, which does the same for every league on it and then removes the account, its sign-in sessions and the email address attached to them. Anonymous viewers hold no account, so the push subscriptions they opted into are removed with the league they subscribed to.
Payment records are the exception, and they are kept. We retain the record of a purchase — the amount, the date, the provider's reference — because a business has to be able to account for money it took, but the email address on it is erased when the account is deleted, leaving a record that identifies a transaction rather than a person.
Three things a deletion cannot reach, stated plainly: an encrypted backup taken before the deletion still contains the deleted records until that backup expires; our payment provider keeps its own record of every charge under its own policy; and a message you sent us through the "Book a draft" form is kept as a business inquiry rather than as account data — it is not attached to any account or league (you need neither to send one), so deleting an account does not find it. Ask us and we will remove it.
How long a broadcast is kept
By default, a completed draft's data is kept until it is deleted. A deployment can be configured to purge completed drafts automatically a set number of days after the broadcast is signed off; where that is switched on, the number will be stated here. Drafts that were never signed off are never purged automatically.
How long you can rewatch it
A finished broadcast stays watchable — the live DVR replay, scrubbing back over the show, joining from the beginning — through the rest of your league's season, until the season end date the deployment sets (for the 2026 season, that is the end of February). After that date, we record that the broadcast has crossed into our normal backup retention cycle, and opening its watch link shows a message saying the replay has been archived instead of playing the show; if you had a recap video rendered, that's the artifact meant to be your permanent copy to keep and re-share. A broadcast that is still live, or one whose draft was never finished and signed off, is never cut off by that date. The season end date is a per-deployment setting, reset each season: where it has not been configured, nothing is archived and a broadcast stays watchable. This is a separate thing from data deletion above — how long a broadcast stays live-watchable is not the same question as how long its underlying data is kept.
What neither will ever do
No third-party advertising, no ad networks, no selling or sharing of league data, and no tracking of watchers. The broadcast is the product; your league's attention is not.
