JawnDawgs is a private pilot for invited readers. This page lists everything the app stores about you, why, for how long, and how to delete it. It is checked against the app's own code: if the app starts storing something new about you, the app's tests fail until it is listed here.
What: The email address the founder invited, who invited it and when, and whether the invitation is still active or was removed.
Why: Only invited people may use the pilot. Your address is used once, at your first sign-in, to find your invitation, and only if your sign-in provider says the address is verified.
How long: Until you delete your account. The invitation is then marked removed and your email address is erased from it.
What: The identifier your sign-in provider gives your account. Not your password: the app never sees or stores it.
Why: To recognise you when you sign in again.
How long: Until you delete your account.
What: An account number, a name the app makes up for you (such as reader-1a2b3c), your role (reader or staff), two fixed settings from an earlier version of the app that it no longer uses ("terms accepted" and the age band "13 or older"; your real answers are kept separately, below), and, after deletion, the date the account was deleted.
Why: To run your account and decide what you may see and do.
How long: Until you delete your account. The empty record then stays, with no email address, provider ID, age answer or name of yours, so the records below that cannot be deleted still point at something.
What: Before you first read, the app asks once: are you 18 or older, 13 to 17, or under 13. It keeps whether you said 18 or older, when you first confirmed you are 13 or older, and when you answered; and which version of the pilot rules and this notice you accepted, and when. No birth date is collected. If you say you are under 13, the account is deleted at once: JawnDawgs is for people 13 or older.
Why: JawnDawgs is for people 13 or older. Mature content stays locked, and Social is not shown, unless you are 18 or older. Commenting and reacting need the pilot rules accepted.
How long: Until you change your answer in account settings, or delete your account. When the rules or this notice change, you are asked to accept the new version.
What: One time: the last moment you opened the Latest page. The badge in the top bar counts the posts released since then. It is not a history of what you read: each visit replaces it.
Why: To show the in-app badge, the pilot's only notification. You get no email and no push notifications.
How long: Until you next open Latest, which replaces it, or until you delete your account.
What: Two choices: the season you picked with the chip at the top of the page (Football · Throwback 1986, the replay, or Football · Live 2026, the live season), and what Home opens to under "When JawnDawgs opens" (What's on now, the default, or the one card you chose to always open to). Nothing else about what you read is stored.
Why: So the app shows the season you chose, and opens where you asked, each time you come back.
How long: Until you choose again, which replaces it, or until you delete your account.
What: Your News filter: which kinds of posts you chose to see (for example News or Injuries), whose (your teams, your players, all teams or one team) and whether Official only is on, kept separately for each sport and mode (today Football · Live 2026 and Football · Throwback 1986), and whether you answered the "pick your teams" question. Nothing about what you read or tap is stored with it.
Why: So News shows what you chose on every phone you sign in on.
How long: Until you change the filter, which replaces it, or until you delete your account.
What: The team you last picked in the Videos tab's team list (or All teams), kept separately for each sport and mode (today only Football · Live 2026 has videos). Nothing about which videos you open or watch is stored with it.
Why: So the Videos tab opens on the team you chose, on every phone you sign in on.
How long: Until you pick another team, which replaces it, or until you delete your account.
What: For each sign-in: when it started and ends, whether your provider reported a second factor, and whether you signed out. The app keeps only a scrambled fingerprint of the session key in your browser's cookie, never the key itself.
Why: To keep you signed in, and to end a sign-in when you sign out.
How long: A sign-in ends after 12 hours, or when you sign out. Its record is deleted 90 days after that, or when you delete your account, whichever comes first.
What: Each team, Event or source you follow, and your alert setting for it.
Why: To show and tell you about what you follow.
How long: Until you unfollow, or delete your account.
What: Each item you bookmark, and when.
Why: So you can find it again.
How long: Until you delete your account.
What: Each notification, what it was about, when it was sent, and whether you have opened it.
Why: To tell you about corrections and alerts on what you follow.
How long: Until you delete your account.
What: Anything you write, react to, report or block. A report of a Social post keeps its reason (spam, harassment, off topic or other); the post's author is never told who reported it. Blocking a reader hides their Social posts and comments from you; they are not told, and your list of blocked readers is in Settings, Privacy. A comment is kept with the post it is on and its room ("In the moment", "Hindsight", or the one room of a 2026 post), with its moderation state (visible, waiting for review, hidden after a report, or removed) and the founder's last decision on it: when, by whom and, for a removal, why. Comments open in the pilot only when the founder turns them on.
Why: To run comments and keep them safe.
How long: Until you delete your account.
What: Each step in your comments' moderation history (posted, held, reported, hidden, released, restored, removed, review asked for and answered), and who took it. Each "Ask for review" on your own comment and each message you send from the About page about a comment problem: what you wrote, when, and the founder's answer.
Why: So comments are moderated fairly, you can see what happened to yours and ask for a review, and the founder can answer you.
How long: Until you delete your account.
What: Each "Report a mistake" you send: the post, what you wrote, when, and the founder's status and response.
Why: So the founder can check and correct posts, and tell you what was done.
How long: Until you delete your account.
What: Each message you send from the Feedback box: its type (Problem, Idea or Confusing), what you wrote, when, and what the app attaches without you typing it: the page you were on (its address without anything after it), Live 2026 or Throwback 1986, the replay date in Throwback, the app's version, and your device type (iPhone, Android or desktop, nothing finer; the rest of your browser's description is not kept). Also the founder's status (New, Seen, Planned, Fixed or Won't do) and note, and whether it was emailed.
Why: So the founder can read and act on it. Each message is emailed to the founder (Victor) through Google's Gmail, with your name in the app, the details above and your account's email address, so the founder can reply to you directly. Daily totals count messages by type only.
How long: Until you delete your account. A copy stays in the founder's email inbox.
What: The Notifications list on your Profile: each update the founder made to your feedback (its status and note) and the outcome of each mistake you reported (the post's headline and the response), and what happened to each of your Social posts (held, with why and how to fix it; waiting for a person; still being looked at; approved or removed, with the reason), with its type, when it came, where it opens in the app, and when you viewed it. It is shown in the app only: nothing is pushed to your phone or emailed.
Why: So you see what happened to what you sent, and how many updates you have not seen yet.
How long: Until you delete your account.
What: Each post you write on Social (Live 2026; for readers 18 and over): its text, the season it belongs to, when you sent it (and resubmitted it after an edit), when it went up, and its state (checking, live, held, waiting for review, or removed). Before anyone else sees it, an AI moderator reads it; the app keeps the moderator's answer with the post: whether it is about sports, whether it crosses the line (a slur or hate, a threat, someone's private information, or spam), whether it is about an arrest, injury or death and how harsh it is on a 1-to-5 scale, the reason and suggestion you were shown, which AI model answered, the version of its instructions and what the check cost, and, if a check could not run, why. If it goes to the founder: why, since when, whether you asked for a review, the reminder you were sent, and the founder's decision (when, by whom and, for a removal, the reason you are shown). Other readers see a live post with your name in the app and its time; nobody but you and the founder sees a post that is not live.
Why: To run Social, show you what happened to each post and why, and keep Social about sports and safe.
How long: Until you delete the post (any time, from Social or your Profile) or your account.
What: Each step in your posts' history (sent, checked, held, sent for review, edited and resubmitted, review asked for, reported, hidden after reports, approved, removed, reminder sent), when, and who took it (you, the founder, or the reader who reported it: that is never shown to you or anyone else but the founder). Your own steps on other readers' posts (a report you sent) are part of their history.
Why: So Social is moderated fairly and the founder can see what happened to a post before deciding.
How long: Until the post or your account is deleted. Deleting your account also deletes the steps you took on other readers' posts.
What: If the founder made you a tester of a replay season: which season, who invited you, why and when.
Why: A season's replay clock is set from its tester invitations.
How long: Kept: these records cannot be changed or deleted, by design. After you delete your account they point only at an empty account number.
What: A record of each sign-in, sign-out, age answer, acceptance of the pilot rules, comment, Social post and each step in its moderation, mistake report, account creation and deletion, league dues step and dues note, and of follows and other actions, by account number: what happened, when, and a scrambled fingerprint of what changed. It never holds your email address in readable form; the record of an invitation being added or removed keeps a scrambled fingerprint of the address.
Why: To keep a tamper-evident record of what happened in the app.
How long: Kept: the audit log cannot be changed or deleted, by design. No end date is set yet; counsel will set one before public launch.
What: If the founder seats you in the JawnDawgs fantasy league: which seat is yours (your account number on the team), the team name you or the founder chose, the seat's draft position, waiver priority, final rank and pretend auction money. Bots' seats hold no account. No new personal data beyond the team name.
Why: To run the league: your roster, lineups, matchups and the activity log are tied to the seat.
How long: Until you delete your account. The seat is then handed to a bot: your account number leaves it and the team name is replaced by the bot's, so the league keeps its ten teams and its record.
What: Every move in the fantasy league (picks, lineup changes, adds, drops, claims, bids, commissioner actions, and, if your league tracks dues, each dues step: paid, confirmed, not received, payouts), named by team, with the time and, for a commissioner action, your account number as the person who acted. Every league member sees this log. A dues entry also notes which dues line it is about, so it can be reworded if you delete your account.
Why: So every member can see what happened, including everything the commissioner did (the commissioner is also a player).
How long: The moves stay as the league's record. When you delete your account the log forgets that you acted: your account number is removed from every entry, and your team's entries now name the bot that took the seat. Your dues entries now say "a former member".
What: Only if your league's commissioner turns on the dues tracker (JawnDawgs never holds, moves or receives money: members pay each other in the outside service the commissioner chose). For each member: one dues line with its step (Not paid, Paid (waiting), Confirmed, Not received), the amount you marked as paid, when and by whom each step was taken (your account number or the commissioner's), and when you last tapped Pay and last answered "Did you pay?". For a season-end payout to you: its label (such as "Champion"), the amount, its step (Owed, Sent, Received, Not received) and who recorded it. Everyone in your league sees the dues board (team names, steps and amounts). No card numbers, bank details or payment screenshots: JawnDawgs refuses long numbers and has no image upload. The amount, the due date and the payment link or handle are the commissioner's league settings.
Why: So the commissioner and the members can see who has paid and who has been paid, without JawnDawgs touching the money.
How long: As the league's record, until the league is removed. When you delete your account, your lines stay as "A former member" (the amounts and steps, with your account number removed), so the league's record still adds up.
What: The short text notes on a dues line or payout: the note you add with "Yes, I paid", a reason for "Not received", and the notes you and the commissioner write to sort a payment out. Text only, at most 280 characters each. Only you and the commissioner see the notes on your lines.
Why: So you and the commissioner can sort out a payment in the app.
How long: Until you delete your account. Deletion removes every note you wrote and the whole note thread of your own dues lines and payouts.
What: When YouTube's own player tells the page that a video cannot be played on JawnDawgs (its owner allows it on YouTube only), the page tells JawnDawgs the video's id, and JawnDawgs notes that you reported it. That video is then not shown to you again. JawnDawgs keeps its own count of how many different readers reported each video, so one report alone never hides a video from everyone; after two readers, or one staff member, it is left out for all until the record expires.
Why: So that videos YouTube's player cannot play here are not shown again, however videos are shown. JawnDawgs never tries to get around a block: it only records what the player itself reported.
How long: Until the record expires, 30 days after it was last reported, or until you delete your account.
What: JawnDawgs keeps a few daily totals of how it is used, such as how many readers open News and how many videos are started. To count each reader once, it remembers who opened News until the end of that day (US Eastern), then keeps only the total. Nothing is kept per video, per channel or per team, no total is ever shown to readers, and the totals are not used to rank, sort or pick anything. A later total of the same kind (for example how many times a filter is used) is kept the same way.
Why: So the founder can see, in whole numbers, whether the pilot is being used.
How long: Your 'already counted today' mark is deleted when the Eastern day ends, or when you delete your account. The daily totals are numbers only and name nobody.
- No history of what you read.
- No birth date, password, location, phone number, card or bank number, or payment screenshot. JawnDawgs never holds, moves or receives money.
- Nothing is sold, and nothing you write is used to train AI models. Your Social posts are sent to an AI service only to be checked before they go up (see “Social posts: the AI moderator” below).
The Videos tab (Live 2026 only) shows NFL highlight videos of the current season from a few fan highlight channels on YouTube that the founder chose (never the official NFL or team channels), and plays them in YouTube's own embedded player. JawnDawgs uses YouTube API Services for this: from JawnDawgs's own server, the YouTube Data API, which JawnDawgs asks every 12 hours for each of those channels' videos of the season that YouTube allows to be played on other sites, and for those videos their YouTube id, title, thumbnail addresses and upload time, exactly as YouTube returns them, plus the channel's id and name. A video's description is read only to tell whether the video is about the NFL and which teams it names; only its first part (before any link, at most 500 characters) is kept with the video, for that. JawnDawgs keeps each video for at most 24 hours unless its next check confirms it, notes which teams it names (and whether by a team's name or a player's), and deletes the season's videos when a new season starts (the thumbnail image itself is never copied; no view counts, likes or comment counts are ever asked for or kept); and, on your device, YouTube's embedded player and player script, which play a video only when you tap it and tell the page when a video cannot be played here. JawnDawgs also keeps its own record of videos that YouTube's player reported as not playable on JawnDawgs (see 'Videos that would not play on JawnDawgs' above). Videos YouTube marks as made for kids are left out. JawnDawgs keeps no record of what you watch.
When a page shows a video's thumbnail, your device fetches that image from YouTube directly; when you tap to play, your device connects to YouTube's player, and YouTube (Google) receives information about the page and about what you watch. Google handles that information under its own privacy policy, not JawnDawgs's. JawnDawgs's server asks YouTube about videos, never about you. If you never open a page with videos, your device never connects to YouTube through JawnDawgs.
Every Social post is checked by an AI model before anyone else sees it, and again after you edit and resubmit it. JawnDawgs's server sends the post's text, and nothing else about you (not your name, account or email address), to Anthropic's API, which answers with the labels listed under “Your Social posts” above. JawnDawgs uses the API under Anthropic's commercial terms, under which Anthropic does not train its models on what it receives through the API.
Anthropic receives the text of each post to check it and handles it under its own terms and privacy policy, not JawnDawgs's. Your device never connects to Anthropic.
