Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 11, 2026
This policy explains what Football Squares Hub collects, why, and what you can do about it. The short version: you do not need an account, we do not ask for your email, and we do not handle payments.
What we collect
- Grids you save. When you press Save and share, we store the grid on our server: the game name, the team names, the names typed into the squares, the drawn numbers, the rules text and a short activity list. A host can also set a PIN. The PIN and the private edit key are stored in scrambled form, not as plain text.
- A short lived safety record. To stop misuse, the site counts how many requests come from one internet address in an hour. The address is scrambled before it is stored, and the record is deleted after 1 hour.
- Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider keeps standard logs, such as the internet address, the browser type and the pages requested. These logs are used for security and to fix problems.
- Emails you send us. If you write to us, we keep your message and your address so that we can reply.
What stays on your device
The grid generator saves a few things in your browser so that it works without an account: the grid you are working on, the list of grids you saved, the name you last used and your view setting. This data stays on your device. You can remove it at any time by clearing the site data in your browser.
What we do not collect
- We do not ask for an account, a password or an email address to use the tools.
- We do not collect or process payments. Any money in your group is handled by your host, not by this site.
- We do not sell personal information.
Who can see a saved grid
Anyone who has the share link can see the grid, including the names in the squares. Only someone with the private edit link can change it. For that reason, use first names or nicknames in the squares, and share the edit link with nobody.
How long we keep saved grids
A saved grid is deleted automatically 120 days after its last change. To have a grid removed sooner, email the share link to footballsquareshub@gmail.com.
Cookies, ads and analytics
The tools on this site do not need cookies to work. We may show ads from third party advertising partners, and we may use an analytics service to count visits. These partners may use cookies or similar technology to show and measure ads and to understand how the site is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. This section will be updated with the names of our partners and their opt out options when those services are in use.
Game data and outside links
Game schedules and scores come from outside data providers. Our server requests that data, so your details are not sent to those providers. If you tap a share button, such as WhatsApp or email, that service opens with the link and its own privacy policy applies. The same is true for any outside website we link to.
Children
The site is made for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to delete a saved grid or an email you sent. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under your local privacy law. Send any request to footballsquareshub@gmail.com.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
Football Squares Hub is an independent website. It is not affiliated with the NFL, the NCAA or any team.
