Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

SnapBracket is a free single-elimination bracket maker that runs in your browser. There are no accounts, and bracket data is processed locally. This Privacy Policy explains what limited data we handle and how.

1. Data We Handle

  • Bracket inputs and results: Team names, seeds, and winners stay in your browser tab. We do not receive or store them on our servers.
  • Images you upload: Optional team avatars are compressed in your browser and saved to localStorage under snapbracket:image-library so you can reuse them. They never leave your device. Items you insert into a bracket auto-expire after about 3 days; you can remove all uploads at any time from the image library or by clearing browser storage.
  • Built-in avatars and static assets: Served from our own files/CDN and do not collect personal data.
  • Usage data (optional): If a Google Analytics ID is configured, we load GA to view aggregated page views, device/browser type, approximate region, and engagement events. Bracket content and uploaded images are not sent to Analytics.

2. Cookies and Local Storage

  • Local storage is used only to keep your uploaded avatars and their timestamps so you can reuse them across sessions.
  • Analytics cookies may be set by Google Analytics when enabled. You can block or delete them in your browser or use Google's opt-out tools.

3. How We Use Data

  • Run and improve the bracket maker (render brackets, remember uploads you saved locally).
  • Monitor performance and usage trends in aggregate when Analytics is enabled.
  • Protect the service from abuse and debug issues.

4. Sharing and Transfers

  • We do not sell or share your bracket content or uploads.
  • Usage data is processed by Google Analytics on our behalf; their handling is subject to Google's privacy policy.

5. Retention

  • Bracket inputs live only in your browser tab until you close or refresh.
  • Uploaded avatars remain in local storage until you clear them; items you insert auto-expire after about 3 days.
  • Analytics retention is controlled by Google; we access only aggregated reports.

6. Security

We avoid collecting sensitive data by design. Because processing happens locally, please keep your device and browser secure and clear storage on shared machines.

7. Children

SnapBracket is intended for general audiences and not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the product evolves. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
