What the public site shows

League history comes from each league's own source: public Sleeper leagues, and workbooks Lerg keeps for his other leagues. The League Points board shows each member by nickname, first name and last initial (more letters where two members would match), or single name, with their League Points and the leagues and competitions they have played. Points come from Lerg's league records, which are not published.

Signing in with Google

Signing in is optional. It is for league members, and for anyone using Family Parlays. If you sign in with Google, LergLeagues receives your Google account's name, email address, account identifier and profile picture. The picture is not kept. The rest is used only to match you to your own entry in Lerg's league records, to know which families and bets are yours in Family Parlays, and (the email address) to recognise Lerg when he signs in as the site's admin.

Signing in alone stores nothing. If you ask to be matched to your entry, your request is stored so Lerg can review it: your Google name, email address and account identifier, and the name and team you type. Lerg sees them when he reviews it. Once he approves, you can see your own entry. Only you and Lerg, who keeps the records, can see it. To make that possible, Lerg's records, which he keeps in his own Google Sheet, are copied privately into the site's database, and changes Lerg makes on the site are written back to his sheet. If you use Pay now or Request prize on your account, the button opens Venmo with the amount filled in; what you send there is between you and Venmo.

Lerg may instead send you a personal link. Opening it and signing in, then confirming, links your Google account to your entry straight away, with the same details stored as for an approved request. A link works once and expires after 14 days; only a scrambled form of it is kept, and a used link is deleted along with the match it made. Until you confirm, your browser holds the link for up to an hour in a cookie only this site can read. Opening a link without linking stores nothing about you.

None of this is shown on the public site, sold or shared. Signing in sets the cookies needed to sign you in and keep you signed in, for up to seven days; the site sets no advertising or tracking cookies.

Family Parlays

Family Parlays is a private place for a group of friends (a “family”) to build parlays together. It only tracks bets; nobody places a bet on this site. When you start or join a family, the site keeps your Google account identifier and the name you choose to show there. Everyone in a family sees its parlays, who made each pick, and the results, along with who entered or corrected them. Nobody outside the family sees any of it. An invitation code works for 30 days, and only a scrambled form of it is kept. Each try at joining is counted for a short while, to stop guessing.

Your own bets are yours alone: the sportsbooks you use, your stakes, odds, boosts, results, your unit size and the ticket screenshots you upload. No one else can see them, the family's owner and Lerg included. A family's owner may upload a screenshot to build a parlay from it; that screenshot stays private to them, and only the picks they confirm are shared. A picture is shown to a family only when its owner uploads one on purpose for that and confirms it shows nothing private.

A family's owner can make a public link to one parlay, for others to copy the picks. Anyone with that link sees the picks and the prices the books showed, and nothing about who made each pick, the family or anyone's bets. A screenshot appears there only if the owner chose it and confirmed it shows nothing private. The owner can turn the link off at any time.

To read the details from a screenshot, the site sends it to Anthropic's Claude API for that one request, and shows you what was read to check before anything counts. Screenshots are kept in the site's private database until you delete the ticket. You can leave a family at any time; your picks stay in its history under your name, and your own bets stay yours.

Yahoo and FantasyPros

League history pages show results Lerg imported from Yahoo: team names, each manager's own Yahoo nickname, records and scores. Managers are counted by a key the site derives from their Yahoo account; no Yahoo account identifier, email or picture is kept or shown.

If you connect your own Yahoo account under “Check my lineup”, the site keeps read-only access tokens, sealed so only the site can use them and only for you, plus a short-lived private copy of your leagues and roster that only you can see. It never changes anything in Yahoo. Disconnecting deletes the tokens and that copy.

Rankings, projections and news on the members' tools come from FantasyPros. The site asks FantasyPros for them without sending anything about you.

News notifications

If you turn on notifications, the site keeps the sports and times you chose and, for email, your Google sign-in address. A Discord or Slack webhook link you paste is stored encrypted and used only to post your notifications to that channel. Emails are sent through Resend. To keep from repeating itself, the site remembers which headlines it sent you for two weeks. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and “Turn off and delete my settings” removes all of it.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard request logs as part of running it. Its private database is hosted by Neon. Screenshots uploaded to Family Parlays are read by Anthropic's Claude API. Yahoo data comes from the Yahoo Fantasy API, and rankings from FantasyPros. Notification emails are sent by Resend.

Your choices

You can use the whole public site without signing in, and you can withdraw a request that is still waiting. To remove a request or a match you made, or to correct your entry or how your name appears, ask Lerg through your league; removing a request deletes the Google details it holds.
