Privacy policy

Last updated: August 19, 2026

Draft — not yet legally reviewed. Before the service opens to the public it needs a lawyer's sign-off, especially regarding compliance with Israeli privacy protection law.

1. What information we collect

  • Registration details: full name, date of birth, country, username
  • Password — stored encrypted (hashed); no one at the site ever sees it as plain text
  • Leagues and interests you've selected
  • Activity on the service: tips you published or bought, tiptopers you follow, wallet balance and transactions (in fake money)
  • Support requests sent through the "Contact us" page

2. Why we use this information

To run the service itself — account management, showing relevant tips, computing statistics, and responding to support requests. We don't use your data for targeted advertising and don't sell it to third parties.

3. Where the information is stored

The information is stored in a database hosted with Turso, and the site itself is hosted with Vercel — two infrastructure providers with servers outside Israel. Using the service constitutes consent to transferring the information to these servers.

4. Sharing with third parties

As of today we don't share information with payment, advertising, or analytics providers — because these don't yet exist in the service. When they're added (for example, a payment processor for real payments), this policy will be updated to spell out exactly what is shared and with whom.

5. Security

Passwords are encrypted using a hashing function (bcrypt) and are never stored as plain text. Communication with the site is encrypted (HTTPS). Even so, no security method is 100% airtight.

6. Your rights

You may request to review the information stored about you, correct it, or request deletion of your account and the information associated with it. For such a request — through the contact page.

7. Cookies

The site uses a single session cookie to recognize you as logged in after you sign in. The site has no tracking or advertising cookies.

8. Minors

The service is intended for those aged 18 and up. If we learn that a user under this age has registered, we will close the account. Parents who believe their minor child has registered for the service are welcome to contact us.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, and the date of the last update will appear at the top of the page.

10. Contact

Questions about privacy can be directed through the contact page or straight to tiptop.csv@gmail.com.
