Privacy

What marchmadnesshero.com stores when you sign in, who can see it and how to delete it. Last updated November 11, 2026.

Without an account

You can use every research tool, the bracket builder and the simulator without signing in. Brackets you make that way stay in your own browser. We don't run ads or third-party trackers.

When you sign in with Google

Google shares your name, email address and profile photo with us. We use them only to:

  • keep you signed in and attach your brackets and pools to your account
  • show your name and photo to people in pools you join

We never see your Google password, and we don't ask for access to anything else in your Google account.

What we store

  • Brackets you save: their picks, name and scoring system
  • Pools you create or join, and which bracket you entered
  • Your display name and profile photo address

Who can see it

Your saved brackets are private. People in a pool with you see your name, your photo and whether you entered a bracket. They see your picks only after the pool locks at the start of the tournament, so nobody can copy them.

Pick popularity (for example, “31% of brackets pick Duke to win it all”) is counted across all saved brackets. Those counts never identify anyone.

Who handles your data

The site runs on Vercel and stores accounts and brackets with Supabase. Sign-in goes through Google. If we add paid features, payments will be handled by Stripe and we will never see your card number. We don't sell or share your information with anyone else.

Deleting your data

You can delete any saved bracket or leave any pool at any time. Deleting your whole account will be available from your account menu.
