Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 9, 2026
This policy covers the FantasySportsMD web app and the FantasySportsMD Draft Co-Pilot browser extension (“FantasySportsMD”, “we”). It explains what data the extension accesses, why, and where it goes. We aim to collect as little as possible.
What the extension does
Connecting an ESPN account (optional)
espn_s2 and SWID) and sends them to the FantasySportsMD backend. These cookies are used solely to authenticate to ESPN’s fantasy API on your behalf so we can import your leagues and rosters. They are not used for any other purpose, are never sold or shared with third parties, and are transmitted over HTTPS. You can disconnect at any time. If you never click connect, no cookies are read.What we collect
- The fantasy draft and league data needed to generate recommendations (e.g. draft ID, your roster, available players).
- ESPN session cookies — only when you choose to connect ESPN, as described above.
- If you create a FantasySportsMD account: your email address and login credentials.
We do not collect browsing history, and the extension does not read pages other than the supported fantasy platforms and the FantasySportsMD app itself.
The website uses privacy-preserving product analytics, and — while we are running paid advertising — an advertising measurement pixel on our public marketing pages. See Advertising and analytics below. The browser extension carries no analytics or advertising code of any kind.
How data is used and stored
Data is used only to provide the recommendations and account features you request. Draft data is processed by the FantasySportsMD backend and is never sold, and never shared with advertisers.
Advertising measurement is kept strictly separate from it. The pixel described below sees anonymous page visits and a “mock draft started” signal on our marketing pages, and nothing else. Your account, your email, your leagues, your rosters and your draft data are never included in it and never leave our systems for advertising purposes.
Advertising and analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to count page views and understand which pages are used. It is privacy-preserving by design: it sets no advertising cookies and does not follow you to other websites.
We also advertise FantasySportsMD on Meta (Facebook and Instagram). To know which ads are worth paying for, our public marketing pages load Meta’s measurement pixel while a campaign is running. It sets cookies in your browser and reports that a page was viewed and whether a mock draft was started, plus the basic request information any embedded script receives — your IP address and browser user agent — and any further interaction data Meta’s own tools log automatically.
It is never given your email address, your password, your account, your leagues, or your roster data. We have Meta’s automatic advanced matching turned off, which is the setting that would otherwise collect details you type into forms.
The pixel is loaded only by our marketing pages — the home page, our ad landing pages, the signup page, and the mock draft setup page. It is never loaded by the draft room, your league pages, or the browser extension.
You can opt out with any content blocker, with your browser’s tracking protection, or through Meta’s own ad preferences. Blocking it has no effect on the product — every feature works exactly the same.
Permissions, briefly
- storage — remembers your settings (e.g. your draft slot) locally.
- cookies — reads ESPN auth cookies only when you connect ESPN.
- scripting / host access — injects the recommendation panel on supported draft pages.
