Privacy policy
What GameDay Spotlight collects, why, and what you can do about it.
Draft, 11 November 2026. GameDay Spotlight is an early prototype. This page describes what it does today. The operator's legal name, address and a contact address will be added before launch.
The short version
- We collect only what GameDay Spotlight needs to follow your players, teams and bets.
- We never ask for, see or store your passwords for streaming services, sportsbooks or fantasy sites.
- We do not sell your information, show ads, or use advertising or analytics trackers.
- A picture you upload is read once and then discarded. We do not keep it.
- You can delete your account and everything in it at any time, in Settings.
Who we are
GameDay Spotlight is an early prototype, run from Canada. The legal name and address of its operator, the person responsible for personal information and a contact address will be added here before launch.
This policy covers the website gamedayspotlight.com, the GameDay Spotlight add-on for the Chrome browser, and the server behind them.
What we collect, and why
Your name, email address and Google account identifier
- Why
- To sign you in and keep your information attached to your account.
- Comes from
- Google, when you choose "Continue with Google".
- Goes to
- Google's sign-in service. We do not copy your name or email into our own database.
Your country and province, territory or state, and your confirmation that you are of legal betting age there
- Why
- To offer GameDay Spotlight only to adults. We never ask for your birth date.
- Comes from
- You.
- Goes to
- Our database, in your own record.
The players, teams, bets, fantasy teams, defaults and settings you add
- What
- For a bet: the player or team, the type of bet, the line, your stake, the odds and the sportsbook's name.
- Why
- To show where each one stands and bring the right game to the screen.
- Comes from
- You, typed in or read from a picture you give us.
- Goes to
- Our database, in your own record, and the add-on in your browser. The add-on drops stakes, odds and sportsbook names.
Pictures of bet slips or rosters that you paste or upload
- Why
- To read the bets or players in them for you.
- Comes from
- You.
- Goes to
- Our server, then Google's picture-reading service. Not kept by us after it is read.
A count of how many pictures you had read today
- Why
- To cap the cost of picture reading.
- Comes from
- Our server.
- Goes to
- Our database, deleted after 3 days.
Your Sleeper username, if you add a Sleeper fantasy team
- Why
- To find your leagues and your team.
- Comes from
- You.
- Goes to
- Our server, then Sleeper. It travels inside the request, so our server's records do not keep it.
Your ESPN fantasy league's address, if you add an ESPN team
- Why
- To find your team and your league's scoring rules.
- Comes from
- You.
- Goes to
- ESPN, asked by the add-on in your own browser with your existing ESPN sign-in. We receive the players and the rules, never your ESPN sign-in.
Which games' live numbers your browser asks for
- Why
- To send you the statistics for the games your players are in.
- Comes from
- The add-on.
- Goes to
- Our server. It learns which games you follow, not your bets.
Basic technical records: internet address, time, the address requested, type of browser
- Why
- To keep the service secure and working.
- Comes from
- Your browser.
- Goes to
- Google's records: 30 days for our server, a few weeks for sign-in, a few months for website hosting.
What we never collect
- Passwords for streaming services, sportsbooks or fantasy sites.
- Payment card or bank details.
- What you do in other tabs or on other sites.
- Your birth date or identity documents.
- Your location, beyond the province or state you tell us.
The Chrome add-on
The add-on works in one tab only: GameDay Spotlight's own screen. It does nothing on any other tab, and nothing on your ordinary visits to a streaming site. When you install it, Chrome will say it can read and change data on the streaming services' sites. It uses that only to arrange their players inside its own tab.
What it looks at, on your device only. Inside its own tab the add-on reads the address and title of each game page, to work out which game is on each screen. It reads the video player's timing numbers, to know how far the stream runs behind. It checks whether the page shows a "Sign in" or "Log in" link. It never reads the picture. None of this is sent to us.
Signing in. You sign in on each service's own page. The add-on types nothing, reads nothing and sends nothing on a sign-in page.
What it saves on your computer. Your players, teams, fantasy teams, defaults and settings, in the add-on's own storage. It keeps no stakes, odds or sportsbook names. It also keeps a cut-down copy of Sleeper's public player list for one day. Removing the add-on deletes all of it.
What leaves your computer.
- Requests for live numbers, for the games your players and teams are in. These go to our server. If our server does not answer, your browser asks the statistics provider's public pages directly, and that provider then sees your internet address.
- A Sleeper username, if you type one into the add-on. It goes straight to Sleeper.
- A request for your ESPN fantasy league, if you add one. It goes to ESPN with your existing ESPN sign-in.
The website and the add-on together. When you are signed in on the website and the add-on is in the same browser, the website hands your players and teams to the add-on. This happens inside your browser.
