This policy explains what information The Leadout (“we”) collects when you use theleadout.club, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy.
What we collect
- Account info — the email address, display name, and password you provide at sign-up. Passwords are stored only as a salted bcrypt hash; we never see or store your plain password.
- Gameplay — the clubhouses, leagues, and fantasy team picks you create, plus any chat messages you post in a clubhouse.
- Uploads — profile/cover images you choose to upload.
- Server logs— like almost every website, our web server records each request: IP address, the page requested, time, and browser type. These are kept short-term for security and troubleshooting. We don't use them to build a profile of you.
- Outbound gear clicks — when you click a gear link we record which product, which rider page, and when. Deliberately no IP address and no account id — we can see that a product was clicked, not who clicked it. We run no third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
How we use it
- To run your account, leagues, and the fantasy game.
- To send essential emails — email verification, password resets, and league notifications (e.g. “your team carried over”).
- To understand what's useful and improve the site.
- To keep the platform secure and prevent abuse.
Sharing & third parties
We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data only with service providers that help us operate:
- Resend — delivers our transactional emails (receives your email address).
- Our hosting provider — serves the site and holds the server logs described above.
- Affiliate networks / retailers — when you click an outbound gear link, you leave our site and their own privacy terms apply. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Cookies
We set one cookie: the strictly-necessary one that keeps you signed in. We use no analytics or advertising cookies, so there is no cookie banner to dismiss. You can block cookies in your browser, but sign-in won't work without the session cookie. Retailers and affiliate networks you reach through a gear link may set their own cookies once you land on their site — that's covered in our Affiliate Disclosure.
Retention & your rights
We keep account data for as long as your account exists. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account and its data at any time by emailing support@theleadout.clubfrom your account address. We'll honor deletion requests promptly, except where we must retain something for security or legal reasons.
Children
The Leadout isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll remove it.
Changes
We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above.
