Privacy
Last updated 1 October 2026
Pikola is a Chrome extension and website that helps you bid in Yahoo fantasy basketball auction drafts. This page explains what it collects and why. In short: your email address, so Pikola knows you've paid. Everything about your draft stays in your browser.
What we collect
- Your email address, when you sign in with Google or with a code we email you. We use it to know which purchases are yours and to send sign-in codes. When you sign in with Google, we receive only your email address and whether Google has verified it, never your name, contacts or anything else.
- A record of your purchase: which payment unlocked your account, when, and whether it was later refunded or disputed.
- Sign-in codes, kept only as a scrambled (hashed) copy for up to ten minutes, then deleted.
What stays on your computer
To read the draft, the extension reads the Yahoo draft room page in your browser: the player nominated, the bids, the sales and each team's money. That information, your league settings, your draft log and your notes are stored in your browser and are never sent to us.
Payments
Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card or bank details go straight to Stripe and never reach Pikola. Stripe sends us only what we need to unlock your account: your email address, the payment's status and Stripe's reference for it. Stripe's own privacy policy is at stripe.com/privacy.
Who handles your data
- Stripe: payments.
- Cloudflare: hosts this website and the server that records purchases.
- Google: only if you choose "Sign in with Google".
- Resend: sends sign-in code emails.
We don't sell your data, show ads, or use tracking or analytics cookies.
How long we keep it
We keep your email address and purchase record for as long as your purchase is active, so it keeps working on any computer you sign in on, and as long as tax and accounting rules require.
Your choices
You can ask us to show you, correct or delete what we hold about you by emailing hello@pikola.app. Deleting your account means Pikola can no longer tell that you've paid.
