Privacy Policy

To run the Service we collect the information you give us: your name, username, and password (stored as a hash) when you sign up; and the events, questions, picks, pledges, and notes you create. The host activation fee is processed by Stripe — we receive confirmation of payment, but never your card number. Chip-in and pledge amounts are recorded on Hunch only; participant money moves off-platform.

We use your information to operate events: showing picks and scorecards to other members of your events, tallying pools, and processing the host activation fee through Stripe. We also keep records of the confirmations hosts and players make at signup and activation.

We don't sell your information or use it for third-party advertising.

Events are private. Your name, picks, points, gifts, and pledges are visible to other members of the same event, including its hosts. Nothing about your events is publicly listed or searchable.

We share data with the vendors that run the Service: Stripe for the host activation fee and our hosting and database providers for infrastructure. Each processes data only to provide their service to us. We may disclose information if required by law.

We keep event records while an event is active or archived so scorecards and ledgers stay accurate for its members. To delete your account and associated data, contact us; some payment records are retained as required for accounting and legal compliance.

If we make material changes to this policy we'll post them here with a new date. Questions? Reach the Hunch team through the email listed on our site.
