Ce site et l'application Vates Sports pour iPhone proposent des projections statistiques relatives aux performances individuelles de joueurs de la NBA, à des fins d'information et de divertissement. Il est non commercial et n'est ni affilié, ni approuvé, ni parrainé par la National Basketball Association (NBA), NBA Properties, Inc., Sports Reference LLC, ni par aucune équipe ou aucun joueur de la NBA.
Les projections publiées sont des estimations statistiques produites par un modèle d'apprentissage automatique. Elles ne constituent ni des prédictions de résultats garantis, ni des conseils de pari, ni des conseils financiers ou des recommandations professionnelles d'aucune sorte. Les performances réelles diffèrent régulièrement, et parfois sensiblement, de ces projections. Voir les Conditions d'utilisation pour l'avertissement complet.

Required by GDPR Art. 13. Last updated: October 6, 2026
This Privacy Policy covers the website vates-sports.com and the Vates Sports app for iPhone (together, the "Service"). Both are operated by Marin Baudinet-Barrès ("we", "us", "our"), acting as data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). The website and the app are two ways into the same Service: one account works in both, and everything in this policy applies to both unless a paragraph says otherwise.
For any question about this policy or to exercise your rights, contact us at: marin@vates-sports.com
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Account identification, login, password reset communications | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Password | Authentication (stored as a bcrypt hash, never in plain text, never readable by us) | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Username | Chosen at registration and used to sign in. It is not shown to other users, on the leaderboard or anywhere else public | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Member number | Assigned automatically at registration. It is your identity in the game and is shown publicly on the leaderboard, see "What other people can see" below | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Date of account creation | Account management | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Your calls in the game (the winner, over/under and exact-line calls you submit), and their results once the game is played, scored or voided | Running the game, scoring it and building the leaderboards | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Your favourite team and favourite player, if you choose them | Personalising what the Service shows you, on the website and in the app | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Display preferences: your appearance (the colour theme and visual settings you choose), avatar and frames | Personalising how the Service looks to you. Your appearance is saved on your account so that it follows you between the website and the app | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| IP address (server logs) | Security, abuse prevention, error diagnosis | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) |
| IP address, browser type, and the page you are viewing, each time a page loads | Counting page views and measuring how fast pages load, through Cloudflare Web Analytics. This runs for every visitor and is not covered by the cookie banner, because it stores nothing at all on your device. We see aggregated totals; we keep no per-visitor record of it and it does not follow you to other sites. See "Cookies and other trackers" below | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Session cookie | Keeping you logged in between pages | Strictly necessary, exempt from consent |
| In the app: your sign-in session, a copy of your appearance and a copy of the latest data the app loaded, stored on your iPhone | Keeping you signed in, opening the app in your colours, and showing the latest projections when your iPhone has no connection. See "The iPhone app" below | Performance of contract, Art. 6(1)(b); strictly necessary, exempt from consent |
We do not collect: payment information, precise or GPS location, phone numbers, or any other data not listed above. We do not use advertising trackers, we do not profile you for advertising, and we do not share data with advertising networks. Analytics, when you consent to it, works at approximate country level only, see "Cookies and other trackers" below.
| Data | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Account data (email, username, password hash) | Until you delete your account, or 2 years after your last login (whichever comes first) |
| Your calls, their results, your favourites and your display preferences | Until you delete your account |
| Server logs (IP addresses) | Maximum 12 months |
| Page-view measurement (Cloudflare Web Analytics) | We hold only aggregated totals, never a per-visitor record |
| Session cookie | 30 days, or until you log out |
| In the app: the session, the appearance copy and the data copy on your iPhone | Until you sign out, your session ends, or you delete your account in the app. Deleting the app removes the appearance and data copies; see "The iPhone app" for the session |
Most of what we hold about you is private to your account. Two things are not, and both are part of how the game works:
We do not publish a directory of members, and there is no way for another user to look you up. If you do not want a member number on a public leaderboard, do not make calls in the game, or delete your account.
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the service providers (processors) needed to operate the Service, and only to the extent necessary:
Some providers may process data on servers located outside the European Economic Area (Cloudflare, Inc. operates globally). Your account database (Supabase) and, if you consent, your analytics data (PostHog EU Cloud) are hosted in the EU. Where data is transferred outside the EEA, or accessed from outside it by a provider established elsewhere, appropriate safeguards apply, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and/or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
The Service publishes information about NBA players: their names, teams, headshots and public game statistics, our projections, and our estimate of the chance each player takes part in an upcoming game. When that chance is low we may show a short reason. One such reason repeats the status (for example "Questionable") under which the NBA lists a player on its official public injury report. We show that status word only, and only until his next game is played; we never publish the nature of an injury or illness, or any other medical information. Our sources are public: mainly Basketball-Reference for statistics, ESPN for player photographs, and the NBA's official injury report. Game statistics are kept as a historical record; past status words are kept, with nothing else, for as long as they help us estimate future chances. We rely on our legitimate interest in publishing sports information and on the public's right to information about professional athletes' sporting activity (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). A player, or someone acting for him, can object or ask about this processing at marin@vates-sports.com.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, send a request to marin@vates-sports.com. We will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French supervisory authority:
CNIL, Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés

We use two cookies that are strictly necessary and require no consent: a session cookie to keep you logged in, and a preferences cookie to remember your unit system (metric/imperial). Neither tracks you across other websites.
With your consent, given via the cookie banner, we also use PostHog (PostHog EU Cloud, hosted in Frankfurt, Germany) to measure aggregate site usage (pages viewed, tabs used, approximate country-level location, device type) and to understand our signup flow. Analytics is off by default and only activates if you click "Accept" on the banner. (The cookieless page counting described above is separate: it stores nothing on your device, so it is not what the banner asks about.) You can change your mind at any time: the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page reopens the banner, so you can accept or reject again whenever you like. Rejecting stops analytics immediately and clears the identifier described below. When active, PostHog stores a random identifier in your browser's local storage (not a cookie); until you consent, it stores nothing on your device. We keep this privacy-minimal: session replay is off, and we do not capture the contents of fields you type (such as your email or password). We do not use advertising cookies or share analytics data with advertising networks.
Requests your browser makes to other companies' servers. Independently of cookies, loading a page makes your browser fetch a few files from servers we do not run. Any such request necessarily reveals your IP address, the page you are on and your browser's user-agent string to whoever serves the file. That is normal for any site that loads a resource from a third party, but we would rather name them than leave you to find them:
cdn.jsdelivr.net): serves the authentication library the
site is built on.static.cloudflareinsights.com): a
cookieless audience-measurement script added by our hosting provider. It sets no cookie and
stores nothing on your device, which is why it is not part of the cookie banner; it counts
page loads and measures how fast pages render. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in knowing whether
the site works and is being read, Art. 6(1)(f).storage.ko-fi.com): serves the script and images behind our
"Support me on Ko-fi" button. It loads on every page, whether or not you click the button. Clicking it
opens ko-fi.com in a new tab; we do not embed Ko-fi content inside our own pages.fonts.googleapis.com): requested by Ko-fi's script, not
by ours. Every font this site uses is hosted on our own servers precisely so that reading a page does
not reach Google; Ko-fi's button is the one exception and we are working to remove it.We receive nothing back from these companies beyond the file itself, and we do not control what they do with what a request reveals to them. This list is meant to be complete as at the date at the top of this policy; if we add or drop one, we update it here.
The Vates Sports app for iPhone uses the same account and the same data as the website. It collects nothing the website does not. It contains no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind, and no code from other companies: it connects only to our own servers and to our database provider, Supabase (see "Who we share your data with").
What the app stores on your iPhone. Three things, and only once you are signed in:
All of these are removed, with any notification still planned, when you sign out, when your session ends, or when you delete your account in the app. Deleting the app removes the appearance copy and the data copy at once, and iOS may also clear the data copy by itself when your iPhone is short of space. iOS can keep a Keychain item after an app is deleted, so the app clears any session left behind the first time it is opened after being installed again. Nothing else is written to your device: player photos are held in memory while the app is open and are not saved. None of these items tracks you or is shared with anyone. The first three are strictly necessary for something you asked for (staying signed in, seeing the appearance you chose, and opening the app without a connection), so they do not require your consent; notifications are only stored and sent after you turn them on and allow them in iOS.
Your account in the app. You can create an account in the app, with the same information and under the same Terms as on the website. You can delete it from the app (Account, then Delete account) as well as from the website's account settings; either way your account and the data attached to it are deleted everywhere. Your favourite team and player and your appearance are saved on your account, so they are the same in the app and on the website.
Pages you open from the app. Links in the app to our legal pages, our methodology or password reset open pages of vates-sports.com. Those pages are the website: this policy applies to them as to any visit, including the requests listed under "Requests your browser makes to other companies' servers".
Apple. You download the app from Apple's App Store (operated in the European Union by Apple Distribution International Ltd., Ireland), under Apple's own terms and privacy policy; Apple is responsible for what it collects when you do. Apple does not give us your identity. If you have allowed it in your iPhone's settings, Apple shares crash reports and aggregate usage statistics with app developers; we see them without being able to identify you. If we invite you to test a pre-release version through Apple's TestFlight, we give Apple your email address so that it can send the invitation, and Apple shares with us any feedback, screenshots and crash reports you choose to send. We use them only to fix the app and delete them once the problem they report is resolved.
Notifications. The app does not send notifications. If it ever does, it will ask your permission first, and this policy will be updated before it starts.
Passwords are stored using bcrypt hashing and are never stored or transmitted in plain text. All communications between your browser and our servers use HTTPS encryption. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data.
No system can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you and the CNIL within the legally required timeframe.
If we make significant changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify registered users by email at least 15 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date means you have acknowledged the updated policy.

vates-sports.com and the Vates Sports app for iPhone (together, the "Service") are operated by Marin Baudinet-Barrès ("we", "us", "our"). The Service publishes statistical projections for NBA player performance, generated by a machine-learning model. It also offers a free prediction game in which you can call the outcome of upcoming games and earn points on a leaderboard (section 5). The Service is currently non-commercial and free to use.
The app. The website and the app are two ways into the same Service, and these Terms apply to both: one account works in both, and the game, its points and its leaderboards are the same. The app is distributed through Apple's App Store. Apple's standard licence for App Store apps (the Licensed Application End User License Agreement) governs your right to install and use the app software; these Terms govern the Service, your account and the game, in the app as on the website. Apple is not a party to these Terms, is not responsible for the Service or its content, and has no obligation to provide support for it: for any question or claim about the Service, contact us (section 12).
You must be at least 15 years old to create an account. By registering, you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian is aware of and has authorized your use of the Service.
You are responsible for the security of your account and must:
You may hold only one account. We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms, without prior notice in cases of serious violation.
You may close your account at any time, for any reason and without giving one, from your account settings on the website or in the app. Doing so permanently deletes your account and the data attached to it.
The Service is for personal, non-commercial use only. You agree not to:
The Service includes a free prediction game. You call the outcome of upcoming NBA games, and once those games have been played your calls are scored automatically and the points are added to public leaderboards. The game is run by us alone. Apple is not a sponsor of it and is not involved in it in any way, and neither is the NBA, any NBA team or any player.
Points are not money and never become money. They have no monetary value, no cash value and no value outside the Service. They cannot be bought, sold, traded, transferred between accounts, exchanged for anything, redeemed, withdrawn or cashed out, and they confer no ownership of anything. Nothing in the game is a stake, a bet or a wager: you never risk anything, and nothing you hold can be lost to another player. Taking part is free and always will be free; we do not sell points and there is nothing to buy.
The rules the game is scored by:
Your member number, your points total and the number of calls you have made appear on public leaderboards that anyone can read, including people who are not signed in. Your username, your email address and your individual calls are not published. This is described in the Privacy Policy.
Using more than one account, automating calls, or otherwise manipulating a leaderboard is a breach of section 4. We may remove the points concerned, remove an account from the leaderboards, or terminate it.
The projections published on this Service, including our estimate of the chance that a player takes part in a game, are statistical estimates produced by a machine-learning model. They are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. A player's projected statistics assume that he plays. The chance that he plays is a separate estimate: a player given a high chance may not play, and one given a low chance may still play.
They are not predictions of guaranteed outcomes. They are not betting advice, financial advice, or professional recommendations of any kind. We make no representation or warranty as to their accuracy. Actual NBA player performance will routinely and sometimes significantly differ from these projections.
Do not use these projections as the basis for placing bets, wagers, or any financial decision. We accept no responsibility or liability for any loss or damage, financial or otherwise, resulting from reliance on the projections published on this Service.
The machine-learning model, website code, design, and original content we create are our intellectual property. NBA player names, team names, and statistics used on the Service are either factual information in the public domain or used in a purely nominative/informational manner. This Service is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National Basketball Association, NBA Properties, Inc., Sports Reference LLC, or any NBA team.
You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our original content without prior written permission.
Open-source components included in the app, such as its typefaces (licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1), remain under their own licences, which the app lists under Account, then About.
We provide the Service on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or the entire Service at any time, with or without notice.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service. Since the Service is provided free of charge, our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed €1.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects the rights the law of your country of residence gives you and does not allow to be signed away; where any part of this section conflicts with such a right, that right prevails and this section applies only as far as the law allows.
We may update these Terms, for example when a feature changes or the game's rules change. If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will tell registered users by email at least 15 days before it takes effect, and the change will not apply retroactively to calls you have already made. Minor corrections take effect when published. The date at the top of this section is always the date of the version in force. If you do not accept a change, you may close your account (section 3).
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
These Terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer resident in another country of the European Union, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the law of the country where you are habitually resident.
In the event of a dispute, we encourage you to contact us first at marin@vates-sports.com to seek an amicable resolution. If no resolution is reached, the dispute may be brought before the competent French courts. If you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings before the courts of the country where you are resident, and we will only bring proceedings against you before those courts, in accordance with Articles 17 to 19 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012.
