Privacy
Lineball is free. We don’t sell your information, we don’t show ads and we don’t track you across other apps or websites. You can use almost all of Lineball without an account.
What we collect
- If you create an account: your email address, the display name you choose and your password (stored only as a one-way hash, never in readable form).
- What you save to your account: favourite sports, competitions and teams; Daily Dozen results; Predictor calls; tipping comps you create or join and your picks and points in them. Your display name and points appear on leaderboards and to other members of comps you join.
- If you turn on alerts: a notification address for your device (issued by Apple or your browser) and the teams and games you asked to be alerted about. It is not linked to your name or email.
- If you opt in to the weekly email: that choice. It is off unless you turn it on, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
- Without an account: favourites and quiz results are kept on your own device, in cookies and local storage.
- Technical logs: like any website, our hosting provider records standard request information (such as IP address and browser type) for security and to fix faults.
- If you contact us: the email address and message you send.
We don’t collect your location, contacts, photos, health or payment information, and Lineball has no purchases.
How we use it
- to sign you in and keep your favourites, streak, calls and comps on every device
- to send the alerts and emails you asked for
- to run leaderboards and tipping comps
- to keep the service secure and working
Who helps us run Lineball
We share information only with the service providers that run Lineball for us, and only so they can do that job: Supabase (database, hosted in Sydney), Vercel (website hosting), Resend (sending email), and Apple, Google or Mozilla (delivering notifications to your device). Some of these providers process information outside Australia, including in the United States.
Tipping and predictions
Tipping comps and the Predictor are free games played for points. No money is staked, won or lost, and points can’t be exchanged for anything.
Your choices
- Delete your account: Delete account removes your account and everything saved to it straight away. It can’t be undone.
- Alerts: tap any bell again to turn alerts off, or switch them off in your device settings.
- Email: use the unsubscribe link in any email or the switch on your account page.
- See or correct your information: contact us and we’ll help.
Children
Lineball is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes we’ll update this page and the date above. Questions or complaints: contact us. Lineball is run from Sydney, Australia, and handles personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.
