Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Vianney Vendeuvre, doing business as Hunch ("Hunch," "we," "us"), collects when you use the Hunch app and website, how we use it, and the choices you have. Short version: we collect what we need to run your picks and leagues, we don't sell your data, and you can delete your account anytime.
1. Information we collect
- Account info: Name or username, email, the avatar or profile photo you choose, favorite teams, Apple or Google sign-in ID. Why: create and secure your account, show you to your league.
- Game activity: Picks, points, leagues created or joined, invite codes used. Why: run the game, score picks, show standings.
- Device and usage: Device type, OS version, app version, IP address (in server logs). Why: keep the app working and secure, fix bugs.
- Communications: Messages you send to support, push notification settings. Why: answer you, send notifications you allow.
We do not collect payment information, precise location, contacts or health data. Hunch only receives a photo if you choose one as your profile picture: you pick it, Hunch shrinks it to a small square, and it replaces any earlier one. We never access the rest of your photo library or camera. If you turn on Face ID or fingerprint unlock, your device handles it: Hunch never receives or stores biometric data. When you share an invite, your phone's own share sheet sends the link; we don't access your contacts or messages.
2. How we use it
- Provide the Service: accounts, picks, scoring, leagues, invites and live scores.
- Send notifications you opt into, like "picks lock in 15 minutes" or league results.
- Keep Hunch fair and secure: detect duplicate accounts, cheating and abuse.
- Count overall activity in aggregate (for example, how many leagues were created), never identifying you.
- Comply with the law and enforce our Terms.
We do not use your data for targeted advertising, and we do not sell or "share" your personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
3. What other people see
- League members see your username, avatar or profile photo, favorite teams, points and rank in that league. Profile photos are stored at a web address that isn't listed anywhere but could be opened by someone who has it.
- Your picks for a game are visible to your league members only after that game starts.
- Aggregated stats, like "23% of Hunch picked this," never identify you.
4. Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers that help us run Hunch, under contracts that limit their use of it:
- Hosting, database and sign-in: Supabase (supabase.com)
- Website (hunchpick.com) and support email delivery: Cloudflare (cloudflare.com)
- Sign-in: Apple and/or Google, if you use them
- We don't use third-party analytics, crash-reporting or advertising tools
- Push notifications: Apple Push Notification service
Sports data and probability providers send us data; we don't send them your personal information.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights and safety of users or the public, or as part of a merger or acquisition (in which case this policy would continue to apply to your data).
5. How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within 30 days, except where we must keep it for legal, security or fraud-prevention reasons. Backups are overwritten on a regular cycle.
6. Your choices and rights
- Delete your account: Profile > Settings > Delete account.
- Edit your profile at any time in the app.
- Turn notifications on or off in your phone's settings.
- Request a copy of your data, a correction or deletion by emailing support@hunchpick.com.
Depending on your state (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others), you may have the right to know, access, correct, delete and port your personal information, and to opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising. We don't do the last three, but you can still email us. We will verify your request and won't treat you differently for exercising your rights. You can use an authorized agent where your state law allows.
7. Children
Hunch is not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, contact support@hunchpick.com and we will delete it.
8. Security
We use reasonable safeguards, including encryption in transit and access controls, to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password or sign in with Apple.
9. Changes
If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or by email before they take effect. The "Last updated" date shows the latest version.
10. Contact
