Privacy

Last updated 27 April 2026.

This policy covers everything Hoops Junkie does, including the website at hoopsjunkie.io and the Hoops Junkie browser extension. Hoops Junkie is run by Glenn McComb, an independent developer based in Melbourne, Australia.

The short version

We don't sell your data, run advertising trackers and there are no user accounts. The only data we collect is the bare minimum needed to serve you the page (your IP address in server logs) and an aggregate count of which pages get visited (via Cloudflare's privacy-respecting analytics).

If anything ever changes about that (for example if we add advertising or more detailed analytics) we'll update this page and tell you about it on our socials before the change takes effect.

What we collect

Website (hoopsjunkie.io)

Cloudflare Web Analytics. Counts pageviews and basic context (referrer URL, country derived from IP, device type) without cookies, without unique visitor IDs, and without sharing data with anyone else. The data is only ever shown to us as aggregate totals; we cannot identify individual visitors from it.
Server logs. When your browser fetches a page or makes an API call, the server records standard request data: IP address, user agent, the URL requested, and a timestamp. These logs are kept transiently by the hosting provider (typically a few days) for rate limiting, debugging, and abuse prevention. They are not shipped to any third-party log aggregation or analytics service.

Browser extension

The extension only ever talks to the Hoops Junkie API. It does not read or transmit the contents of any other page you visit.
When the extension fetches data from the API, the same server logs described above apply.
The extension declares "no data collection" in its Firefox manifest, which is a binding statement to Mozilla.

What we don't collect

To be explicit about things that are common elsewhere but not here:

No tracking cookies or advertising cookies.
No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or similar identifier-based trackers anywhere on the site.
No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other contact information.
No data on your activity outside Hoops Junkie's own properties.

Where the data goes

Cloudflare serves the website and provides the analytics described above. It operates as a data processor on our behalf and does not use Hoops Junkie data for its own purposes.

The Hoops Junkie API runs on a third-party hosting provider, where the server logs described above are stored.

We do not sell, rent, or share Hoops Junkie data with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.

Outbound links

The site footer links to Buy Me a Coffee. If you click through you're on buymeacoffee.com where their privacy policy applies, not this one. We only see minimal details about who has supported the project which supporters themselves provide.

Cookies and local storage

The website does not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics. There are two kinds of first-party storage on hoopsjunkie.io:

Your preferences. Settings you change on the site such as dark mode, timezone, how stats are presented, how the play-by-play is sorted, fantasy scoring toggles, and similar settings are saved in cookies or browser local storage so the site remembers them on your next visit. They live on your device but are never sent to any third party and don't identify you in any way.
Site infrastructure. Cloudflare may set a small number of functional cookies (e.g. for bot protection) to keep the site working. These don't identify you either.

The browser extension does not use cookies.

Children

Hoops Junkie isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone in that age range. There are no user accounts, no sign-ups, and nothing personal is collected about anyone who visits. Having said that, Hoops Junkie is designed and developed in such a way that it is a safe space for humans of all ages.

International users

Hoops Junkie is operated from Australia. The website and API are served via infrastructure located in the United States and other regions. By using the service, you understand that any limited data collected (server logs, aggregate analytics) may be processed in those regions.

Changes to this policy

If we change what's collected, for example if we add advertising, more detailed analytics, paid subscriptions, or a feature that needs data we don't currently collect, we'll update this page, change the "Last updated" date, and announce the change clearly on our social media profiles before it takes effect.
