Privacy Policy

Last updated October 29, 2026

CFB Grids (“we”, “us”) runs cfbgrids.com, a set of free college sports trivia games. This page explains what we collect when you use the site and what we do with it.

What we collect

• Account details. If you create an account, we store your email address. Sign-in is handled by Firebase Authentication, either with a password or with your Google account.
• Game activity. Your grid guesses, scores, drafted lineups, pick’em picks and head-to-head matches, so we can keep leaderboards, recaps and your profile stats.
• Leaderboard handle. If you add an X handle when you submit a grid score, it is shown publicly on that day’s leaderboard.
• Usage data. We use Google Analytics for Firebase to count page views and see which games people play. It records things like the pages you visit, your device and browser, and your approximate location.
• IP address. We use your IP address briefly to limit how fast new head-to-head matches can be created. We store only a one-way hash of it, and only for the length of that limit.
• On your device. The games save progress in your browser’s local storage, so an unfinished grid or draft is still there when you come back.

Advertising

We show ads through Google AdSense to help pay for running the site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

Google’s use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on those visits. You can turn off personalized advertising in Google’s Ads Settings, or opt out of some other vendors’ personalized ads at aboutads.info. Google explains how it uses information from sites that show its ads at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads or advertising cookies are used.

How we use it

To run the games, keep leaderboards and stats, prevent abuse, understand which features people use, and show ads. We do not sell your personal information.

Who we share it with

Only the services that run the site: Google (Firebase, Google Analytics and AdSense) and our database and hosting providers. Leaderboard entries and handles you choose to post are public.

Your choices

You can play without an account. To have your account and its game history deleted, email support@cfbgrids.com from the address you signed up with. You can clear the site’s local storage and cookies from your browser settings at any time.

Children

CFB Grids is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
