Privacy Policy for DraftCompass Lite
Last Updated: June 1st, 2025
Welcome to DraftCompass Lite for Sleeper (the "Extension"). This Privacy Policy describes how your information is collected, used, and shared when you install and use the Extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner.
1. What Information We Collect (and Why)
The Extension is designed with user privacy as a priority and operates with minimal data collection, focusing only on what's necessary for its core functionality. The Extension handles the following types of "user data":
User-Provided Custom Player Rankings:
How it's collected: You (the user) explicitly provide this information by pasting a list of player names into the Extension's popup interface.
How it's used: This list is stored locally on your browser using the chrome.storage.local API (or equivalent browser.storage.local for Firefox). It is used to display your custom player rankings directly within the Sleeper.com draft interface. This is the primary purpose of the Extension.
Sharing: This data is not shared with any third parties or transmitted to any external servers by the Extension. It remains local to your browser.
User Interface Preferences & State:
How it's collected: The Extension locally stores your preferences for the overlay's appearance and state. This includes:
Font size for the overlay text.
The position (top/left coordinates) and dimensions (width/height) of the overlay on your screen.
The visibility state of the overlay (shown/hidden).
Player IDs that you manually mark as "picked" within a specific draft.
How it's used: These preferences are stored locally using the chrome.storage.local API to ensure your settings persist across browser sessions and when the Extension is reloaded. This provides a consistent and personalized user experience. Manually picked player IDs help keep your view of available players accurate during a draft.
Sharing: This data is not shared with any third parties or transmitted to any external servers by the Extension. It remains local to your browser.
Sleeper.com Draft Page Information (Limited):
How it's collected: The Extension's content script, which runs only on https://sleeper.com/draft/nfl/* pages, reads the current draft ID from the page URL.
How it's used: This draft ID is used to make direct, read-only API requests to https://api.sleeper.app/v1/* to:
Fetch all public NFL player data (for matching your custom list to Sleeper player IDs, names, teams, positions).
Fetch live public draft pick data for the current draft you are viewing.
Fetch public draft settings (like total rounds). This allows the Extension to show you relevant player details (team, bye week) and dynamically update your rankings by removing players as they are picked in the draft. This is essential for the Extension's core functionality of providing real-time draft aid.
Sharing:
The draft ID is sent to https://api.sleeper.app as part of the API request URL. This is necessary to retrieve the correct draft and player data. Sleeper's handling of this data is governed by their own privacy policy.
The Extension itself does not share this draft ID or the data retrieved from the Sleeper API with any other third parties or transmit it to any external servers under our control.
The Extension DOES NOT collect:
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, address, email address, age, or Sleeper username/password.
Health information.
Financial and payment information.
Authentication information (passwords, credentials, security questions, PINs).
Personal communications (emails, texts, chats).
Location data (beyond what might be inferred by an IP address during standard web requests to the Sleeper API, which the Extension itself does not log or store).
General web Browse history (it only interacts with sleeper.com/draft/nfl/* pages and the api.sleeper.app domain for its core functionality).
Keystroke logging.
2. How We Use Your Information
As detailed above, the information handled by the Extension is used solely to:
Provide the core user-facing feature: displaying your custom player rankings integrated into the Sleeper draft interface.
Enhance user experience by remembering your display preferences and overlay state.
Dynamically update these rankings based on live draft activity by fetching data from the Sleeper API.
3. How We Share Your Information
DraftCompass Lite for Sleeper is designed to minimize data sharing:
User-Provided Custom Rankings and UI Preferences: This data is stored locally in your browser via chrome.storage.local and is NEVER transmitted to us or any third-party servers.
Sleeper API Interaction:
The Extension makes direct requests to https://api.sleeper.app/v1/*. The data transmitted in these requests (e.g., draft ID in the URL) is necessary for the API to return the correct information. Sleeper's use of this data is subject to their own privacy policy.
The data received from the Sleeper API (player data, pick data) is used locally by the Extension to update the overlay and is not shared further by the Extension.
No Other Sharing: We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share any user data handled by the Extension with any other third parties for marketing, advertising, or any other purposes not directly related to the core functionality of providing and improving the Extension.
4. Data Security
Local Storage: All user-provided custom rankings and UI preferences are stored locally on your computer using the browser's storage.local API. This data does not leave your device via the Extension.
API Communication: When the Extension communicates with the Sleeper API (https://api.sleeper.app), it does so over HTTPS, which encrypts the data in transit.
No Server-Side Storage by Us: We do not operate any servers that store your personal or sensitive user data related to this Extension.
5. User Control and Data Deletion
You can clear your custom player rankings by simply deleting the text from the input area in the Extension popup and clicking "Import List" (or by clearing the relevant data from your browser's local storage for the extension).
You can uninstall the Extension at any time, which will remove all locally stored data associated with it.
6. Compliance with Chrome Web Store User Data Policy (Limited Use Disclosure)
DraftCompass Lite for Sleeper adheres to the Chrome Web Store's User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements:
Allowed Use: User data (specifically, the custom player list and interaction with the Sleeper API via the draft ID) is used solely to provide and improve the single, user-facing purpose of the Extension: displaying integrated, dynamically updating custom rankings within the Sleeper draft room.
Allowed Transfer:
User data (custom rankings, UI preferences) is not transferred by the Extension to any third party, except for the draft ID being part of the URL when fetching data directly from the Sleeper API (https://api.sleeper.app), which is necessary for the Extension's functionality.
We do not transfer user data for any other reasons unless required by applicable laws or for security purposes (e.g., investigating abuse), which is highly unlikely given the nature of the data handled.
Prohibited Advertising: We do not use or transfer any user data to serve users personalized, re-targeted, or interest-based advertisements.
Prohibited Human Interaction: We do not allow humans to read any user data collected by the Extension. As the data is primarily stored locally or involves direct API calls to Sleeper, there is no mechanism for our team to access or read this data.
7. Children's Privacy
The Extension is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Extension's Chrome Web Store page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
