PaceToWin.com ("we", "the site") is a free tool that projects sports teams' season win pace and playoff chances. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it simple because the site is simple: we don't have user accounts, and we never ask you for personal information.
What we collect
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit and which pages and features they use. When enabled (see "Your choices" below), Google Analytics collects:
- Pages you view and links you click on the site;
- On-site interactions, such as which team you calculate a projection for;
- Approximate geographic location, derived from your IP address (Google truncates the IP; we never see your full IP);
- Your device and browser type, screen size, and the website that referred you.
This data is aggregated and pseudonymous. We do not collect your name, email, or any information that directly identifies you, and we do not run advertising or ad-personalization cookies.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies (named _ga and _ga_<id>) to distinguish visitors and remember your session. We use Google Consent Mode, so how this works depends on where you are:
- In the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland: no analytics cookies are set until you choose "Accept" on the cookie banner. If you decline or ignore it, analytics stays off.
- Elsewhere: analytics is enabled by default. You can opt out at any time using the options under "Your choices" below.
How we use it
Only to understand traffic and improve the site — which features get used, which pages are popular, and where things can be better. We do not sell or share your personal information, and we don't use the data for advertising.
Third parties
- Google Analytics processes the usage data described above. See Google's Privacy Policy. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to block it everywhere.
- Sports data sources. Team records and schedules come from ESPN, MLB's Stats API, and MoneyPuck. We only read public sports data from them — we never send them any information about you.
Your choices
- Decline analytics on the cookie banner (or clear your saved choice by clearing this site's data), and no analytics cookies are set;
- Use the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on;
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or use private/incognito browsing.
Children
PaceToWin is a general-audience sports tool and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
