Privacy

Almost nothing is collected. This page says exactly what, and what happens to it.

Who runs this

Hoops Redraft is operated by SHABU PTY LTD, ABN 78 605 154 345. It is a fan project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the National Basketball Association, the National Basketball Players Association, any team, or any player.

Your game is not collected

Your run — the club you took over, every pick you made, every season you played — is stored in your own browser and never sent anywhere. Nobody else can see it, including us. Clearing your browser data deletes it, and there is no copy.

If the game breaks

If something goes wrong while you are playing, the game sends a short report so it can be fixed: the error itself, roughly where in the game it happened (for example, mid-draft rather than at setup), which version of the game you were running, and the size of your browser window. That is all it contains. It does not include your run, anything you typed, or anything else that would identify you: there is no cookie and no ID. As with every request to this site, our host Netlify sees the internet address your browser connects from; we do not add anything to that. Reports are read from server logs to find and fix bugs and are not kept in a database.

How you play, in outline

During this beta, the game also sends a short note at a few fixed moments in a run — choosing an era or a club, finishing a draft or free agency, finishing a season, finishing a run, leaving mid-run, and abandoning a run outright — so we can see where players get stuck or stop playing. Where it applies, the note carries a number: which decade you started in, how many seasons you chose to play, which season number and which part of the run (draft, free agency, a season in progress, and so on) you had just finished or were on, and, for a finished run, the letter grade it ended on. That is all it contains. It does not include your roster, your picks, anything you typed, or anything else that would identify you: there is no cookie and no ID saved to your device. Two random codes are created fresh in your browser's memory for this purpose, not written to your device: one for the visit, so these notes can be told apart from another visitor's, and a second for the run you are currently playing, so if you play more than once without reloading the page, each run's notes can still be told apart from one another. Both are gone from your browser the moment the tab closes, but the copies already sent with each note travel with it and are not linked to who you are; fresh codes are generated each time you open the page, and the second is generated again every time a new run begins. These notes are stored on our own dashboard, not shared with any third party, for as long as this beta runs, after which they are deleted. As with every request to this site, our host Netlify sees the internet address your browser connects from; we do not add anything to that.

Your email address, if you give it

The only thing this form stores is an email address, and only if you type one into the sign-up form. The form also carries a hidden field that only automated spam scripts fill in. If it is filled in we ignore the submission.

• What it is used for: telling you when new eras or new features land. Nothing else. It is not sold, rented, or given to anyone for their own use.
• Who else handles it: Resend, which stores the list and sends the mail. They process it on our behalf and may store it outside Australia.
• Who hosts this: Netlify, which serves the site and runs the sign-up form, the crash reporter, and the gameplay notes described above. Like any web host it sees the internet address your browser connects from. It is not used for anything else and it is not passed to Resend.
• How long it is kept: until you unsubscribe, after which the address stays on a do-not-mail list so we do not email you again. Ask us and it is deleted outright.

Getting off the list, or removed entirely

Every email we send carries an unsubscribe link. To have your address deleted rather than just unsubscribed, or to ask what is held about you, email hello@shabu.co and it will be done. If you are not happy with how we handle a request, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

Cookies

None. The game stores your run locally in your browser, which is not a cookie and never leaves your device. Nothing here, including the crash reports and the gameplay notes above, sets a cookie or any other identifier that would let us recognise you on a later visit. The random codes the gameplay notes use only tell one visit's notes, and one run's notes, apart from another's; they live in your browser's memory alone and are never written to your device.

Changes

If the site starts collecting anything else, this page will say so before it does.
