Privacy policy
TLDR
- I collect as little data as possible.
- Collected data is never linked to anyone beyond what's strictly needed to run your account.
- I don't sell data.
- No third-party advertising, analytics, or remarketing trackers run on this site.
Scope
This policy covers Junkie Sports (junkiesportslive.com) — a web-based simulator of sporting events with a play-money betting exchange — operated as a personal project by Alessandro Dei Sacchi.
Information collection and use
By using the site you agree to the collection and use of information as described below. Personal information is used only to run the features you interact with and is never shared beyond the purposes stated here.
If you don't sign in
The site stores a handful of values on your device via essential browser storage (localStorage):
- A flag indicating you've dismissed the introductory disclaimer.
- Your selected theme (dark / light / pixel) and whether the sidebar is collapsed.
The server also sees standard HTTP request metadata (IP address, user-agent, referer) in transient access logs. These are not used to build profiles and are rotated out within a short window.
If you create an account
The following is stored server-side in the site's database:
- Your handle and email address.
- A hashed password (never the plaintext).
- Your play-money wallet balance, orders, bets, and wallet transactions.
Two cookies are set in your browser while you are signed in:
junkie_auth— HttpOnly session token (JWT). Required to identify you on protected endpoints.junkie_csrf— CSRF token mirrored by the client on mutating requests.
Both are essential to the login feature. Without them, signing in cannot work.
Log data
Like most web services, the server records transient request logs containing IP address, user-agent, request path, and timestamps. These are used for debugging and abuse mitigation and are not joined with account records to build behavioural profiles.
Cookies
The site uses only essential browser storage and the two auth cookies described above. There are no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, and no third-party trackers. Clearing site data in your browser will sign you out and reset all preferences — the site will continue to work, but you'll see the welcome disclaimer again.
Advertising and analytics
This site does not run advertising, analytics tags, social pixels, or any third-party tracking script. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated before the change goes live.
Service providers
The site is hosted on a virtual private server. The hosting provider necessarily processes traffic to deliver it, but is not given access to account data for any independent purpose.
Data retention and deletion
You can delete your account at any time from the account page. Deletion cascades to all associated orders, bets, and wallet transactions. Transient access logs auto-expire after a limited period.

Security
Passwords are stored as salted hashes; the login channel is HTTPS-only; session cookies are HttpOnly. That said, no method of digital storage or transmission is 100% secure, so the usual prudence applies — use a unique password and don't reuse one from a real-money site.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has registered an account, email the address below and it will be removed.
Links to other sites
Some pages link to external resources (e.g. responsible-gambling helplines). Those sites have their own privacy practices, which are outside the scope of this policy.
Changes to this privacy policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date below will be revised when that happens; significant changes will also be flagged via the welcome disclaimer.
Effective date: 2026-05-22
