FanVote Privacy Statement

Effective Date: December 13, 2025

At FanVote, we believe voting should be fun, simple, and completely private. We built this app for the love of sports and community discussion — not for collecting or selling personal data. We're not a data broker, and we never will be.

What We Collect

Anonymous Vote Data Only: When you vote on a game, matchup, or fan suggestion, we record the vote itself and a unique anonymous identifier generated by Firebase Authentication (a random string with no personal meaning). This lets us prevent duplicate votes and show accurate totals.

No Names, Emails, or Profiles: We do not ask for, store, or display your name, email address, phone number, location, or any other personal information. Even our admin dashboard shows only anonymized statistics — never individual user details.

No Tracking or Analytics Beyond Votes: We use basic Firebase Analytics for page views (to improve the app), but nothing that identifies you personally.

How We Use Data

Solely to tally votes and display live results, hot trends, and community standings.

To generate aggregated insights like "total unique voters" or "average votes per person" — always anonymized and never tied to you.

Data is used only to make FanVote better and more engaging for everyone.

Data Storage & Security

All votes are stored securely in Google Firebase Firestore with strict access rules.

Only authorized admins can view aggregated vote totals — never individual user activity.

We do not share, sell, or transfer any data to third parties.

Your Control

You can clear your browser data or log out at any time to disassociate future votes from your anonymous ID.

Since we collect no personal information, there's nothing to delete or request under privacy laws — but you're always in control.

Why This Matters

FanVote is built by fans, for fans. It's a community space to debate the best matchups, celebrate upsets, and share the excitement of sports — without worrying about privacy.

We keep it simple: You vote. We count. Nothing more.

Thank you for being part of the FanVote community!
