Terms of Service

Version 2026-04-27

These are the demo Terms of Service for VoteGOAT ("VoteGOAT", "we", "us"). By creating an account you agree to everything below.

1. The service

VoteGOAT is a second-screen companion for TV that lets you log timestamped reactions while you watch. The service is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind.

2. Your account

• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Users in jurisdictions with a higher digital-consent age (for example, parts of the EU) must meet that local minimum.
• You can sign up with email + password, or via a supported OAuth provider (currently GitHub). Either way, the same Terms apply.
• You are responsible for keeping your credentials private and for everything that happens under your account.
• You can delete your account at any time from the Delete account page in your profile. Your account row and all personally-identifiable rows we store about you (ratings, notes, points entries, prediction wagers, fantasy memberships) are removed immediately via cascading delete; anonymized aggregates derived before deletion may persist (see §5).

3. What you contribute

When you submit a rating, score, hot-take note, or timestamp ("Contributions"), you keep ownership. Nothing you post here is re-assigned to us.

4. Acceptable use

• No harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks in notes.
• No commercial spam, scraping, or automated bulk posting.
• Follow applicable law.

5. Data license you grant us

You grant VoteGOAT a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, publish, and distribute your Contributions and the metadata around them (including scores, timestamps, and any optional demographic information you chose to provide), including:

• In aggregated and anonymized form, for commercial purposes, such as reports and data products sold to brand, network, production, and talent-agency partners. No individual user is identifiable in these outputs.
• In the product itself, for example showing your hot take next to other users' reactions on the episode page.

If you delete your account, the underlying Contributions (ratings, notes, wagers, etc.) are removed from the live product immediately. The license above survives deletion solely with respect to aggregated, anonymized outputs we produced before you deleted — we have no way to recall copies already delivered to partners.

6. Demographic data

Demographic fields (birth year, gender, country, region, postal code) are optional. You can change or remove any of them later. We use them only to produce aggregated, anonymized segmentation — we don't sell data tied to your name, email, or account id.

7. Changes to the Terms

If we materially change these Terms, we'll ask you to accept the new version before you can continue using the service. You can review prior versions on request.
