Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

D2 Pick’em ("we") is a fan game run by D2 CFB Spotlight. This policy explains what we collect and why.

What we collect

• Email accounts: if you sign up with email we store your email address, display name and a securely hashed password (never the password itself). We don’t send marketing email.
• Account info from X: when you sign in with X we store your X user ID, @handle, display name and profile picture. We don't store your X login credentials or access token, and we never post on your behalf.
• Game activity: your picks, tiebreaker guesses and Bracket Challenge picks, used to run the game and leaderboards. Your display name (and X handle/avatar if you sign in with X) and record appear on the public leaderboards.
• Technical data: a login cookie to keep you signed in, and standard server logs (IP address, browser) for security and troubleshooting.
• Visit counts: we count page views and where visits come from (for example X or Google) using our own anonymous daily ID. We don't store IP addresses for this, and no third-party analytics are used.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
