Privacy Policy
Cortex Sports Analytics
Effective Date: April 1, 2026
1. Introduction
Cortex Sports Analytics (“Cortex,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is operated by Veridian Data Analytics. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share information when you access or use our website at cortexsportsanalytics.com and any related services (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
Account Information (via Manus OAuth)
Authentication on Cortex Sports Analytics is handled through Manus OAuth, a third-party identity service. When you sign in, we receive a user identifier, display name, and email address from the Manus OAuth service. We do not store your password. The information received is used solely to create and maintain your account on our platform.
Subscription and Payment Information
Subscription payments are processed by Stripe (stripe.com). Stripe collects and processes your payment card details, billing address, and tax information directly. We do not receive or store full payment card numbers. We receive from Stripe only the data necessary to manage your subscription status: a customer identifier, subscription identifier, plan variant, subscription status, and renewal date. Stripe’s own privacy policy governs the handling of your payment data.
Usage Data
We collect anonymized usage analytics (page views, session duration, feature interactions) through Umami Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not track users across sites. We also log prediction requests and results in order to calculate accuracy metrics and improve our models.
Communications
If you submit a message through our Contact page or sign up for email notifications, we collect your email address and the content of your message in order to respond to you.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To create and manage your account and authenticate your identity.
- To process subscription upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations via Stripe.
- To enforce subscription tier access controls (Free vs. Pro features).
- To store and display your prediction history and accuracy statistics.
- To improve the accuracy and relevance of our analytics models.
- To send transactional emails (e.g., subscription confirmations) when applicable.
- To respond to support requests submitted through the Contact page.
- To monitor service health and diagnose technical issues.
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with the following categories of service providers, and only to the extent necessary to operate the Service:
| Provider | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Manus OAuth | User authentication | User ID, name, email |
| Stripe | Payment processing & subscription management | Email, subscription metadata |
| Umami Analytics | Anonymized usage analytics | No personally identifiable data |
| Cloud hosting provider | Infrastructure & database hosting | All stored data (encrypted at rest) |
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Cortex Sports Analytics, our users, or the public.
5. Data Retention
We retain account information for as long as your account remains active. Prediction history and accuracy data are retained indefinitely to support model improvement and to allow you to review your historical usage. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personally identifiable information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention. Anonymized, aggregated usage data may be retained indefinitely.
6. Cookies and Tracking
We use a session cookie to maintain your authenticated login state. This cookie is essential for the Service to function and is not used for advertising. Our analytics provider (Umami) does not use cookies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated personal data.
- Portability: Request your prediction history in a machine-readable format.
- Objection: Object to certain uses of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the Contact page. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), encrypted data at rest, and signed session tokens. We do not store payment card data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
10. Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United States. Users in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom who have questions about GDPR compliance are encouraged to contact us directly.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
