1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following information:
- Account information: your email address and password (handled by our authentication provider, Supabase) when you create an account or subscribe
- Profile information: the username you choose and, optionally, a profile picture
- Content and activity you create: trades and GM Mode sims you publish, accounts you follow, likes, and your daily puzzle results, streaks and stats
- Usage data: pages visited, features used, and general site interaction, collected through analytics tools
- Device and browser information: collected automatically to improve site performance and, by our advertising partners, to serve and measure ads
2. What Is Public
Some account features are public by design. Anyone, including people without an account, can see:
- your username and public profile page
- your profile picture, which is stored in Supabase Storage at a publicly accessible URL
- the trades and GM Mode sims you publish, and the likes they receive
- who you follow and who follows you
Puzzle results you choose to share (for example, a share card or link) are visible to whoever receives them. Your email address is never shown publicly. Please don't put personal information in your username or profile picture that you don't want to be public.
Direct messages are not public. They are stored on our servers (Supabase) and are visible to the people in the conversation. If a message is reported, we may review it and the conversation around it to enforce our Terms.
3. How We Use Information
We use your information to:
- Provide your account, profile, follows, likes, published trades and puzzle history
- Provide and manage access to premium features
- Process payments securely via Stripe
- Show advertising to non-premium visitors (see below)
- Improve and personalize our services
- Communicate with you about your account or updates to our services
4. Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences and puzzle progress, and analyze site usage. This may include third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not function properly as a result.
5. Advertising (Google AdSense)
We show ads served by Google AdSense to visitors who are not premium subscribers. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings (or www.aboutads.info for other third-party vendors). To learn how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland: we use Google's consent management message (a Google-certified consent platform) to ask for your consent before cookies or local storage are used for personalized advertising. You can accept, decline, or manage your choices, and change them later from the privacy and cookie settings link shown by the consent message.
6. Payment Processing
Payments are securely processed through Stripe. We do not store your payment card information on our servers.
7. BluelineBot Answers
When you ask BluelineBot a question, your question, the earlier messages in that chat, and the page you are on are sent to Anthropic's API (the Claude model) to generate the answer. We record how many questions each account asks per day to apply the daily limit, and, if you rate an answer, the rating, the question and answer, and any note you add, so we can improve the bot. The chat itself is kept only in your browser tab. Please don't include personal information in your questions.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data with third-party service providers only as necessary to operate the site: Supabase (authentication, database and file storage for profile pictures), Stripe (payments), Anthropic (BluelineBot answers), Google (advertising and analytics) and Cloudflare (hosting). These providers are bound by their own privacy policies.
9. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You can request deletion of your account and associated data (email, username, profile picture, follows, likes, published trades and sims, and puzzle results) at any time by emailing contact@bluelinemetrics.com from the address on your account. We will confirm and complete the request within 30 days, except where we must keep records (for example, payment records) to meet legal obligations.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Your Rights
Depending on your location (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or California law), you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to object to or withdraw consent for certain processing, such as personalized advertising. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.
12. Children's Privacy
BluelineMetrics is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
13. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
