Privacy

What is measured, and by whom

RoboPodium is a statistics site. It has no accounts, no login, no newsletter and no advertising, so most of what a privacy page usually covers does not apply here. What does apply is written out below.

RoboPodium

What this site collects

No account, nothing to sign in to

Every public page is served without a session. RoboPodium asks for no name, no email address and no payment details anywhere on the public site, and it sets no advertising or profiling cookie.

Aggregate page views

RoboPodium uses Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It is cookie-free and reports aggregates: which pages were read, and roughly from where. RoboPodium sends it no custom events, and nothing about a competitor, a match or a source is attached to a measurement.

Hosting

The site is served by Vercel and its data comes from a Supabase PostgreSQL database. Serving a page necessarily involves a request reaching a server, with the IP address and user agent that implies. Both providers handle that as infrastructure operators.

Third parties

Embedded posts and video

The Media page shows posts and video that other platforms host. Loading one contacts that platform directly from your browser, and that contact is not something RoboPodium can make invisible.

What X can receive. X states that X for Websites can receive information including the page you are on, your IP address, your browser, your operating system and cookie information. That happens when an embedded post loads, and it is X’s collection rather than RoboPodium’s: RoboPodium does not receive any of it, and cannot see what X does with it. X’s own terms and privacy policy govern it.
What RoboPodium does about it. Three things, and it is worth being precise that they reduce the exposure rather than remove it. The platform script loads only on a page that actually has an embed on it, never site-wide. It loads only once that embed comes near the viewport, so a reader who never scrolls to it never loads it. And each embed asks for the least invasive option the platform documents: X posts are requested with Do Not Track set, and any YouTube video is embedded through youtube-nocookie.com.

If you would rather not load third-party media at all, the rest of RoboPodium works without it. No other page on this site loads a third-party embed, and the results, schedule, statistics and competition reference are all served from RoboPodium’s own database.

Data in the record

People in the sporting data

RoboPodium publishes competition data: teams, entries, results and the documents they came from. Where the organiser published a person’s name in an official capacity, such as an official quoted in a press release, that attribution is part of the evidence and is retained. RoboPodium does not collect personal data about competitors beyond what competition sources publish, and it does not publish operator rosters, contact details or anything it was not given publicly.
