Reader privacy

What the site collects—and why.

Joining a discussion requires a Better College Football account and a fan profile. Accounts use a verified email address or username and password; Google sign-in may also be offered as a convenience. The site stores the contributor’s identity-provider account identifier, sign-in email address, chosen public name, optional favorite team or affiliation, selected perspective, optional phone number, consent record, submission text, moderation status, and timestamps. Phone is not required for sign-in or posting.

Email addresses, phone numbers, consent records, and account identifiers are never displayed publicly. When a thread or reply passes automated safety checks, the site displays only the chosen public name, optional team or affiliation, perspective, topic, headline, contribution, and publication date. A member may instead publish as Anonymous fan; the private account connection remains available for safety enforcement but the public name, fandom, Creator role, and profile link are removed.

Non-anonymous contributors receive a public member page reached from their byline. It shows only their public name, optional fandom, perspective, and approved contributions they have chosen to list. Members can hide or restore each eligible contribution from My profile. Anonymous posts never appear on a public member page.

A signed-in member may give one thumbs-up or thumbs-down to each public thread or reply. The site stores the item, private account identifier, reaction, and timestamps needed to enforce one vote per account; only aggregate totals are public. A vote can be switched or removed by pressing the selected control again.

Members who hold a public role—such as a coach, athlete, athletic staff member, researcher, or established media professional—may privately request verification. Submitted evidence is visible only to the owner. A Verified badge means the owner manually reviewed evidence connecting the member to the claimed identity or role; it is not an endorsement, guarantee of expertise, or institutional affiliation. The Creator badge separately identifies the site owner.

Private account data is used only for account integrity, moderation, correction or removal requests, and essential community notices. It is not sold or used for advertising. Private contact messages separately store the name, email, optional organization, subject, message, category, status, and timestamps needed to respond. The optional update list stores an email address, consent record, status, and timestamps. To request correction, removal, unsubscribe, or access to information you submitted, use the private contact form. Requests remain private.

Community profile contact data is retained while the profile or its moderation record remains active. A saved blank phone field removes an existing phone value. A verified deletion request will remove or de-identify private profile data unless temporary retention is necessary for security, dispute resolution, or a legal obligation.

Account authentication and recovery are handled by Clerk rather than a home-grown password database. Google processes information only when a visitor chooses Google sign-in. The public proposal does not require an account.

The site is hosted through ChatGPT Sites on Cloudflare infrastructure. OpenAI and Cloudflare process requests as infrastructure providers, and Clerk processes account, session, and recovery data. Google processes sign-in information only when a visitor chooses Google sign-in. Like other secure web hosts, those providers may process network and device information needed to deliver, protect, authenticate, and troubleshoot the service; the project does not receive that infrastructure data as an advertising profile and does not sell it. OpenAI’s Privacy Policy, ChatGPT Sites Terms, and, where applicable, the Sites Data Processing Addendum apply alongside Clerk’s, Cloudflare’s, and Google’s published terms.

Do not submit sensitive personal data, private records, confidential communications, or material you lack the right to publish. Interactive features are not directed to children under 13.
