Privacy policy

This policy explains what LocksBet collects, why we collect it, and the choices available to you.

Overview

LocksBet collects limited information to operate the site, improve the product, and support features like accounts and feedback.

We do not sell your personal data.

Information we collect

Account information

If you sign in (e.g. via Google or email), we may collect:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Profile picture (if provided by Google)

Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication.

Usage data

We may collect basic usage data such as:

  • Pages visited
  • Features used (e.g. searches, filters)
  • Device/browser information
  • Approximate location (e.g. country)

This helps us understand how the product is used and improve it.

User input

If you submit feedback (e.g. flagging matches), we store:

  • The content of your submission
  • Associated account (if logged in)
  • Timestamp

How we use information

We use collected data to:

  • Provide and maintain the service
  • Improve matching quality and features
  • Respond to feedback and issues
  • Monitor usage and performance
  • Prevent abuse or misuse

Authentication

We use Firebase Authentication for login.

If you sign in with Google:

  • We receive basic profile information (name, email, profile image)
  • We do not access your Google account beyond this

Your authentication is managed by Google and Firebase under their own terms and privacy policies.

Cookies and tracking

We may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Keep you signed in
  • Store preferences
  • Analyze usage

We may use analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics or similar) to understand traffic and usage patterns.

Third-party services

LocksBet may use third-party services, including:

  • Google (authentication, analytics)
  • Firebase (authentication, database, hosting)

These providers may process data according to their own privacy policies.

LocksBet may also link to third-party platforms (e.g. prediction market exchanges). We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Data retention

We retain data only as long as necessary to operate and improve the service, unless a longer period is required for legal or security reasons.

Your choices

You can:

  • Not sign in and use most of the site anonymously
  • Stop using the service at any time
  • Contact us to request deletion of your account data

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no system is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
