Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 13, 2026

1. Introduction

Slate DFS (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the Slate platform (“the Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account information: Email address and password (hashed) when you create an account.
Profile information: Display name, avatar, bio, and DFS preferences that you optionally provide.
Billing information: Payment details are processed and stored by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number.
Usage data: Pages visited, features used, lineup configurations, and interactions with the Service.
Device and browser data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers collected automatically.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
Process subscriptions and payments through Stripe.
Send transactional emails (account verification, password resets, billing receipts).
Send product updates and announcements (you can opt out at any time).
Deliver real-time notifications about late scratches, weather changes, and lineup locks.
Analyze usage patterns to improve features and performance.
Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

Stripe: For payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy governs their handling of your payment data.
Service providers: Hosting, analytics, and email delivery services that process data on our behalf under contractual obligations.
Legal compliance: When required by law, regulation, or legal process.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., billing records). Usage data may be retained in anonymized form for analytics purposes.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS), hashed passwords (bcrypt), JWT-based authentication, and regular security reviews. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Cookies and Tracking

The Service uses essential cookies for authentication and session management. We may use analytics tools to understand usage patterns. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect Service functionality.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate information.
Request deletion of your account and personal data.
Export your data in a portable format.
Withdraw consent for optional data processing (e.g., marketing emails).

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@slatedfs.com.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

10. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed in Canada and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any cross-border data transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via email or in-app notice. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
