WTF — We The Fans

WTF Privacy Notice

Last updated:

WTF (We The Fans) brings sports fans together. This notice covers wtfwethefans.com and its member tools, including how WTF membership is checked for the separate WTF Tickets service.

For privacy or account questions, use Contact WTF. You do not need to sign in.

We collect information you provide and information generated when you use WTF:

  • Account details: your email, account identifier and verification status, plus a name when available from your account. Email signup uses a password processed through our authentication service. Google sign-in provides the account information needed for that sign-in
  • Preferences: favorite teams and leagues, newsletter and alert choices, waitlist interests and member-perk notification choices. Watch settings can also include your ZIP code, streaming services, TV provider and antenna availability
  • Participation: votes, campaign and issue support, reactions, referrals and other account-linked activity. We use these records for counts, your activity history, recognition and administration
  • Content: comments, proposed issues, AI-tool inputs and saved drafts. Fan Spotlight also collects your video, headline, display name, optional Instagram handle and description, sport, file details and permission records
  • Support requests: your reply email, optional name, category, message and request reference. These go to WTF administrators to handle the request
  • Site activity: browser/session identifiers, visited page paths, campaign tags, referral codes and event times. We use them to understand how people find and participate in WTF, manage limits and identify automated or test activity

We use this information to operate accounts and member tools, save preferences, review contributions, provide requested results, handle support and send the communications described below. Please do not put passwords, payment-card details or unnecessary private information in posts, AI prompts or support messages.

Approved community issues and CrowdVoice posts can be public. Issues can show creator names and recognize qualifying supporters by name. Published comments show their displayed name and sport or team context. Vote, support and reaction totals can be public; the underlying records remain connected to accounts for administration.

AI drafting sends your input and relevant context through Base44's AI integrations. Review the result before using it. Start a WTF prepares a proposal for you to submit for review. Advocate saves a draft for you to review and copy; it does not send the message for you.

Fan Spotlight requires your own video of yourself and confirmation that you are at least 18. Submissions are available to you and WTF reviewers before publication. If selected, your submission permission allows publication on WTF's Instagram with your display name and optional handle, plus trimming, cropping and captions without changing your meaning. You can withdraw before it is marked posted. Contact WTF about removal after posting; copies shared by others may remain.

WTF uses Base44 for hosting, accounts, data storage and integrations for files, email and AI. These services process information needed for the features you use. Google is involved if you choose Google sign-in. The site also loads Google Fonts and some externally hosted media, causing your browser to request those resources from their providers.

WTF Tickets has a separate sign-in. When you ask Tickets to verify your free-member eligibility, it matches your email to your verified WTF account and member record. Tickets saves membership identifiers, email, membership type/status and check times. If you are on WTF's founding-member waitlist, the current check also copies a note about that into your Tickets membership record. Opening the perk link alone does not sign you in to Tickets or put your email in the link.

When you visit linked social networks, broadcasters, organizers or ticket sellers, their own privacy practices apply.

WTF uses local storage and session storage to remember signup steps, unfinished actions, referral information and browser/session identifiers.

Our campaign measurement can connect earlier visits from the same browser to your account when you sign in. WTF administrators can use this information with registration and participation records to understand which invitations and campaigns lead to activity.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals do not currently switch off WTF's general first-party referral and campaign measurement.

You can clear or restrict browser storage through your browser settings. This may interrupt saved steps or sign-in, and a later visit may create new identifiers. It does not erase account, content or activity records already stored on our servers.

The Signal is optional. Its signup checkbox starts unchecked, and you can change your subscription in Your account. Free membership does not depend on subscribing.

Personalized email and on-site alerts have separate settings and are enabled by default for new member records. You can change them in Your account. The Tickets launch email has a separate opt-in on the perk page; the founding-member waitlist has separate join and leave controls. Email verification and account-service messages are separate from these choices.

The contact form does not subscribe you to a newsletter. If you cannot use a preference control, contact WTF.

You can update the available preferences in your account and Watch settings. Use Contact WTF to ask about stored information or request access, correction, deletion or help with other privacy rights that apply to you.

Sending the form creates a request for review. It does not automatically delete an account or complete the requested action. Browser storage and server records are separate, so clearing your browser is not an account-deletion request.
