Privacy policy

The short version

There are no accounts and no logins. Your roster picks stay in your own browser. The site shows third-party ads, and those ad providers set their own cookies — that is the main way data about you leaves this site, and you can opt out of it below.

What is stored in your browser

Your roster selections, practice-squad picks, emergency QB designation, and theme preference are saved in your browser's local storage. They are stored on your device only — they are never uploaded to a Predict the 53 server, and we cannot read them. Clearing your browser's site data removes them permanently.

Analytics

The site uses Vercel Analytics for aggregate traffic counts — page views, referrers, and country-level location. It is cookieless and does not build a profile of individual visitors.

Advertising and cookies

Predict the 53 displays advertising served by Google. The following disclosures are required of sites that use Google AdSense:

• 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 visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
• Google's own explanation of how it uses data from sites that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you will be shown a consent prompt before personalized advertising cookies are set, and you can change your choice at any time through that prompt.

Where the roster data comes from

Player and team information is requested from ESPN's public NFL feed when you open a team page. Some images, such as player headshots and team logos, are loaded directly from ESPN's servers, which means ESPN receives your IP address as part of serving those images. Predict the 53 is not affiliated with ESPN, the NFL, or any team.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

Because the site holds no account data, there is nothing on our side to export or delete. To remove everything this site has put on your device, clear its site data in your browser. To control advertising cookies, use the opt-out links above.
