Your privacy

Updated September 12, 2026. Fieldwork collects only what is needed to operate this research tool and, with your permission, understand its use.

Optional analytics

Google Analytics is off until you choose “Allow analytics.” Declining does not limit the board. We honor browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Change your choice through “Analytics privacy settings” beneath the board.

When enabled, Google receives page and board views, interaction events, a pseudonymous browser identifier, device/browser information and engagement timing. It processes network information such as your IP address under its policies. Reports can distinguish new and returning browsers, not reliably identify individual people.

We do not send credentials, Firebase account identifiers, email addresses, raw search text or full query strings to Analytics. Sports-player IDs describe athletes whose market drawers you open, not visitors. Advertising signals and personalization are disabled. No session replay or advertising pixels.

Canonical public landing paths and a coarse referral category (Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity, Reddit, other or direct) help us measure discovery. Referring page paths, query strings and unrecognized referring hostnames are not sent.

Your consent preference is stored locally for up to 180 days; optional analytics cookies have the same configured lifetime. Withdrawing consent stops future measurement and clears Fieldwork’s host-only Analytics cookies; it does not automatically delete previously collected records. Google’s configured event-data retention applies; aggregated reports may last longer.

Service and security

Google Cloud hosts the application and PostgreSQL data. Operational request/error logs may include IP address, request URL, browser and timing information and are normally retained for 30 days. Do not enter private information in search fields or shared links. Firebase Authentication protects private administrator access using essential secure session cookies; consumer boards do not require an account when public access is enabled.

Sportsbook observations are retained independently as product history. They are not records of visitor activity. We do not sell visitor information. Providers may process data internationally. Applicable privacy rights depend on your location; use the contact below for requests.

Campaigns and aggregate traffic estimates

With your analytics consent, approved Reddit campaign labels identify the NFL week, community and post variant. We send only these predefined labels and a recognized referring origin, never the full referring page or arbitrary URL parameters. Browser privacy preferences and declined consent still disable Google Analytics.

We also summarize operational requests into browser-navigation, crawler, prefetch and marked-test categories. These aggregate estimates contain no visitor identifier and cannot tell us who returned. Reloads can count again and some bots may resemble browsers; we do not describe these counts as unique people. We do not create fingerprints or join IP addresses across requests.

Signed-in administrator browsers are excluded from optional analytics. A developer may also save an analytics-exclusion preference in the browser; this stores no tracking identifier and can be cleared with the test-mode control. Operational request logs remain subject to the service/security policy above.
