Privacy

Last updated: 15 May 2026

This page is a plain-English summary. It is not legal advice. If you need a formal privacy statement for your organisation, ask your legal adviser.

What we collect

To run competitions we typically store things like your name, email, display name, picks, scores, and technical logs needed to keep the service secure (for example IP address and browser type in standard server logs).

Why we use it

We use this information to authenticate you, show leaderboards, apply scoring, fix problems, and improve reliability. Competition organisers may also see participant data needed to run their pool.

Cookies and storage

We use cookies or similar storage so you can stay signed in and so the site remembers your competition context. You can clear cookies in your browser at any time; you may need to sign in again afterwards.

Retention

We keep data only as long as needed to run the competition and meet legal or security obligations. Exact retention can depend on how your organiser uses the product.

Your choices

You can ask your organiser to update or remove your participation where that is reasonable. For privacy requests about PaperPunter itself, contact support@paperpunter.com.
