Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

What we collect

Account details (email, name); boards and entries you create; bids and any backer name, handle, or message you choose to attach; logos you upload; usage and analytics data; and your IP address (for security and rate limiting).

How we use it

To run the service, process payments, send you transactional email (welcome, board live, new bids), prevent, detect, and investigate abuse, fraud, chargebacks, and disputes, enforce our Terms, and understand and improve usage.

Payments and fraud prevention

Payments are processed by our payment provider; we do not store your full card number. We and our payment provider process transaction details, and limited device and IP information, to authorize payments and to prevent, detect, investigate, and resolve fraud, chargebacks, and payment disputes. When a dispute or chargeback occurs, we may share the relevant transaction record with the payment provider and card networks to resolve it.

Service providers

We share data only as needed with the providers that run TopBoards: a hosting provider, an authentication and database provider, a payment processor, an email provider, and an analytics provider. Each processes data on our behalf. We do not sell your personal data.

Public information

Boards are public. Entries, their current totals, and backer names or handles (unless you contribute anonymously) are visible to anyone. Don't submit anything you want kept private.

Entries may reference the public social-media handle of a person who is not a TopBoards user, with an avatar sourced from their public profile. If a board entry references you and you want it removed, email hi@topboards.lol with the handle and board.

Children

TopBoards is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them; if we learn we have, we will delete it. Users aged 13 to 17 may use free features only (such as props boards) - we do not knowingly collect payment information from anyone under 18.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and sessions, and analytics cookies to measure usage. You can control cookies in your browser.

Retention and your rights

We keep your data while your account is active. We retain transaction, payment, and tax records, and records needed to resolve disputes or chargebacks and to comply with legal, accounting, and fraud-prevention obligations, for as long as required even after an account closes. You can request access to or deletion of your personal data by emailing us, subject to those retention requirements. TopBoards is not intended for anyone under 18.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy. Questions or requests: hi@topboards.lol.
