Privacy Policy

• Participant ID. When you open a market page, My Positions or Account, we assign your browser a random participant ID and keep it in a cookie. Opening these pages does not create a profile.
• Demo participant profile. When you take a demo position or set up your profile, we store a profile for that participant ID with a display name, a handle, an optional avatar image URL and the time it was created. Until you change them, the display name is “Guest” and the handle is generated from the participant ID.
• Demo activity. We store the demo positions you take, including the outcomes, Demo $ amounts and times, and how they were settled. When a market settles, its settlement record keeps a copy of the display name and handle you had at that time.
• Technical information. Our hosting provider processes standard request information, such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to deliver and secure the site. ExactStat itself does not store your IP address.
• Operator activity. If you are an authorized ExactStat operator, we keep an audit record of the operator actions you take.

ExactStat has no sign-up form. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, payment details or precise location.

We use this information to run the demonstration, show you your demo positions and results, keep ExactStat secure, prevent abuse, fix errors and meet legal obligations. We do not use it for advertising. We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising. We disclose it only to the service providers described below, to authorized ExactStat operators, or when the law requires it.

Other visitors cannot see your demo positions, your settlement results, or your display name, handle or avatar. Your profile is shown only to you, on the Account page. Your positions and results are shown only to you, on market pages and My Positions. ExactStat has no public leaderboards or public profiles. Handles must be unique, so if you choose a handle that is already in use, you will be asked to choose another, without being told whose it is.

Market pages show totals for each market, such as the Demo Pool, the Demo $ on each outcome and the market distribution. These totals combine all participants and are not linked to anyone. In a market with very few participants, a change in a total may match the size of a single position.

Authorized ExactStat operators can access demo records to run and settle markets and to support the demonstration. We still recommend that you do not use your real name or other personal information in your display name or handle.

If you add an avatar image URL, your browser loads that image from the website you chose when you view the Account page. That website may receive your IP address and browser information under its own privacy policy.

ExactStat sets only the first-party cookies it needs to work:

• exactstat_participant links your browser to your anonymous demo participant profile. It holds a signed random participant ID. It is set when you open a market page, My Positions or Account, including while new demo profiles and positions are paused, and lasts 365 days. Opening one of those pages after half that time renews it for another 365 days. Setting this cookie does not create a profile.
• exactstat_operator keeps an authorized operator signed in to operator tools. It is set only after an operator signs in, and lasts 8 hours or until sign-out.

Both cookies are HttpOnly, so page scripts cannot read them, use SameSite=Lax, and are sent only over HTTPS on the live site. ExactStat does not use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. Because these cookies are needed for the site to work, ExactStat does not show a cookie banner.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you delete the participant cookie, you may lose access to your demo profile and positions.

We use service providers to run ExactStat, including Vercel for hosting and Neon for our database. They process information on our behalf to provide their services. ExactStat’s application servers and database are located in the United States.

Demo positions and settlement records are permanent. Once recorded, they cannot be edited or deleted, including the display name and handle copied into a settlement record when a market settled. We do not set a retention period for them.

When profile changes are available, you can update your display name, handle and avatar URL on the Account page. These changes do not alter historical settlement records. Copies of ExactStat data may also remain in database backups and recovery copies.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information. To make a request, email info@snglabs.com. Because demo positions and settlement records are permanent, we may be unable to delete information they contain. Because profiles are anonymous, we may be unable to confirm that a profile is yours.

ExactStat is only for people 21 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you believe someone under 21 has used ExactStat, please contact us.

We may update this Privacy Policy. We will post the updated version on this page with a new date.
