Privacy Policy — OuchWire

Last Updated: July 29, 2026

OuchWire ("we", "us", "our") operates the website ouchwire.com and associated services. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada and applicable U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA.

This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information:

  • Email address (used for account creation and authentication)
  • Display name (chosen by user)
  • Authentication credentials (managed securely by our platform provider)

Fantasy Sports Data:

  • League affiliations and roster information you choose to connect or input
  • Watchlist selections (athletes you are monitoring)
  • Notes and preferences you add to your account

Usage Data:

  • Approximate location (country/region level, derived from IP)

We do NOT collect:

  • Precise GPS location
  • Contact lists or address books
  • Biometric data
  • Social media credentials (we use OAuth tokens only for posting to our own accounts)

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide injury tracking, health scores, and FAAB urgency recommendations
  • To display your fantasy roster and associated player health information
  • To send service-related notifications (if you opt in)
  • To improve our injury data accuracy and product features
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do NOT:

  • Sell your personal information to third parties
  • Share your data for advertising purposes
  • Use your data to train machine learning models
  • Rent or lease your data

3. Legal Basis for Processing (PIPEDA)

Under PIPEDA, we collect and process personal information only with your consent and for identified, lawful purposes. By creating an account or using OuchWire, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this policy. You may withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account.

4. Data Retention

  • Active account data: retained as long as your account is active
  • Deleted account data: removed within 30 days of account deletion
  • Usage logs: retained for up to 12 months for security and analytics
  • Injury and athlete data: this is public sports data, not personal information, and is retained independently of user accounts

5. Cookies and Analytics

OuchWire uses essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. Any analytics we collect is aggregated and anonymized — we do not track individual users across other websites.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures:

  • Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Secure authentication via our platform provider (Base44)
  • Access controls limiting internal data access
  • Regular security reviews

No system is perfectly secure. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected users within 72 hours and as required by applicable law.

7. Your Rights

Canadian Users (PIPEDA):

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal information
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Withdrawal of consent: Delete your account at any time
  • Complaint: You may file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

U.S. Users (CCPA/CPRA and state laws):

  • Right to know: What personal information we collect and how we use it
  • Right to delete: Request deletion of your personal information
  • Right to opt-out: We do not sell personal information, so no opt-out is needed
  • Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@ouchwire.com.

8. Children's Privacy

OuchWire is not directed to children under 13 (U.S.) or under 16 (where required by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Third-Party Links

OuchWire may link to external sites (ESPN, CBS, Sleeper, etc.) for injury data sourcing. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of OuchWire after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
