Summary

Last updated November 8, 2026.

Image Tournament ("we", "us") is a site where people make "this or that" tournaments from pictures, pick a winner head to head, and see how everyone else voted. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, who sees it, and the choices you have.

1. Information we collect

  • Account. You sign in with Google, which shares your name, email address and profile photo with us. We never receive your Google password and we do not ask for your contacts, files or any other Google data.
  • Profile. The display name and country you choose in Edit Profile.
  • Content and activity. Tournaments (title, category, visibility, and the pictures and names of the contenders), drafts, comments, replies, likes, and the tournaments you save or play.
  • Votes. Your pick in each matchup and your champion. When you are signed in, votes are linked to your account. When you are not, they are linked to a random ID on your device. A vote can include your profile country, which is how rankings by country work.
  • Reports and feedback. The reason you give in a report, and any message you send with Send Feedback, along with the page, your browser type and your screen size.
  • Technical details. Our hosting and database providers receive your IP address and basic request details (page, time, browser) to deliver the site and keep it secure. We use your IP address only to suggest a country when you edit your profile, and keep it only if you save it. We never collect precise location.

2. How we use it

We use information to sign you in, run tournaments and rankings, show your content and activity, review reports and remove content that breaks our Terms, prevent spam and fake votes, answer your emails, fix problems, create the preview picture when a tournament is shared, and follow the law.

We do not sell your personal information, we do not share it for advertising, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles. We do not show ads and we do not use advertising trackers. We do not use your content to train AI models, we do not allow our providers to, and we do not make significant decisions about you by automated means. We do not analyze your pictures for faces or other biometric data. If any of this ever changes, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

3. What other people can see

Public tournaments, their pictures and their rankings are visible to everyone, with or without an account, and can be found by search engines and copied. Tournaments set to Unlisted do not appear in lists or search, but anyone with the link can open them.

Your comments and replies show your display name and country. Pictures are stored in a public bucket, so anyone with a picture's direct link can open it, even for an Unlisted tournament. Your email address and Google profile details are not shown to others. Votes are counted together: others see totals, not who voted for what.

Deleting something removes it from Image Tournament, but we cannot remove copies other people have already made.

4. Who we share it with

We use a few service providers who process information for us and may not use it for anything else: Supabase (database, sign-in and picture storage), Cloudflare (hosting, delivery, security, cookie-free visit counts, and the approximate location used to suggest a country) and Google (sign-in).

We may also disclose information if the law or a valid legal request requires it, to investigate fraud, abuse or security problems, to enforce our Terms, to protect people's safety, or if the site is part of a merger or sale (the new owner stays bound by this policy unless you are told and, where required, you consent to a change).

5. Cookies and device storage

We use no advertising cookies and no advertising trackers. We do use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused tool that counts visits and page views and measures how fast pages load. It sets no cookies and does not follow you from site to site. Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic browser details for this, as the provider of our hosting. We use your browser's local storage only for what the site needs: your sign-in session, your progress and finished results in tournaments, lists of what you saved or played, and the random ID used for votes when you are signed out. Because it is essential, we show no cookie banner. Clearing it signs you out and loses unfinished tournaments on that device.

The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and some code libraries from jsDelivr, so those companies can see your IP address when a page loads. Because we do not track you across sites, there is nothing for "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control to switch off, and we treat Global Privacy Control as a valid opt-out anyway.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your account and content until you delete them or ask us to close your account, which we do within 30 days (we may keep a few records to prevent abuse or meet legal duties). Deleting a tournament deletes its pictures, votes, comments and preview picture with it. Votes made without an account are linked only to a random ID, so we cannot find them one by one; they stay in the totals. We keep reports and feedback only as long as we need them. Our providers keep technical logs and backups for a limited time.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example California, other U.S. states, the EEA, the UK or Switzerland), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or download your personal information, to object to or restrict how we use it, to withdraw consent, to appeal our decision, and to complain to a regulator. We will not treat you differently for using these rights. You can also change your display name and country in Edit Profile and delete your own tournaments and comments yourself.

To make a request, email imagetournament@gmail.com. Tell us what you want and the email address on your account. We confirm it is you, usually by checking the request comes from that address. We reply within the time the law requires (generally 45 days in the U.S., one month in Europe), and if we say no we will explain why. To appeal, reply with the subject "Privacy appeal".

Under the GDPR and similar laws, we use your information to provide the site you asked to use (contract), to keep it working and safe (legitimate interests), where the law requires it, and where you consent.

8. Children, security and changes

Image Tournament is not for children under 13 (or under 16 where your country sets a higher age), and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has given us personal information, email imagetournament@gmail.com and we will delete it.

We use safeguards that fit the information we hold, such as encryption in transit and access controls, but no system is completely secure. Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. We may update this policy; we will change the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you on the site or by email.
