Privacy

Last updated November 10, 2026

DialBall has no accounts, no ads and no tracking cookies, and it doesn't sell or share anything about you.

What stays on your device

Your settings (sports, teams, TV services, Spoiler Shield, display choices) are saved in your browser on your own device.

What the server keeps

• Visit counts. The first time you open DialBall, your browser makes a random ID. Once a day it's sent with your device type (for example "iPhone · App"), and once more if you use the page (a tap, or 20 seconds on screen), which helps tell people from web crawlers. The server adds the rough location Cloudflare sees for the connection (city, state, country). IP addresses are not stored. This is only used to count how many people use DialBall and whether they come back. Visit counts are kept for 120 days.
• Button counts. Taps on a few buttons (Watch, Follow, Share and similar) are counted per day as totals, with nothing about who tapped.
• Alerts, if you turn them on. Your browser's push address and your alert settings (level, teams, time zone, quiet hours) are stored so alerts can be sent. Turn alerts off and they're deleted.
• Sync codes, if you make one. Your settings are saved under the code so another device can restore them. Anyone with the code can restore those settings, so keep it to yourself.
• Game scores you give. If you score a game from 1 to 10, the score is saved with your random ID so it counts once.

Other services

DialBall runs on Cloudflare, which also provides privacy-friendly page analytics without cookies. Fonts load from Google Fonts and some team logos load from ESPN's image servers, so those services see a normal web request from your browser.

Children

DialBall isn't directed at children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect anything from them.
