What do we collect?

BenchSports.com collects as little information as possible to ensure the usability of our website and ensure our pool administrators can manage their pool efficiently. Your pool administrator may require more detailed information depending on how your pool is set up.
The items we collect are as follows:

  • User Login - This is your unique login specific to BenchSports.com
  • Password - A valid password is required to ensure security
  • Email Address - A valid email address is required to receive temporary passwords and may be used by your pool administrator.
  • Name - Name is just another indicator for persons participating in your pools to know "who" you are
  • City - Same as name just another indicator for persons participating in your pools to know "where" everyone participating is from
  • Time Zone - This allows for us to display due dates/start dates in your local time to try and avoid any time zone confusion.

Who has access to view my information?

Your personal information is available for viewing in four scenarios:

  1. You - you can view/change your personal information at any time

I would like my account removed

Please reach out to us and we can remove any personal identifying information from your account, and set it with a random unknown password to make the account dormant/inaccessible. We will not completely remove an account that has been used for a pool completely, to keep our reporting accurate/consistent.
