Optional DraftADynasty account
If you choose to sign in, DraftADynasty stores your email plus saved public league identifiers, watched players, recent searches, and preferences. Saved account data is private to you, is not required for public tools, and is deleted when you delete the account.
Community chat
Everyone can read community messages. Posting is free for accounts with a verified Google or Apple sign-in identity. Your chosen chat name, messages, and posting times are public; your account ID, email, and sign-in provider are not shown. Messages are saved to support the conversation and posting limits. Deleting your DraftADynasty account removes its chat name and messages from the service, but cannot remove copies other readers have made. Keep personal details out of messages.
Public Sleeper data
DraftADynasty reads public Sleeper usernames, leagues, rosters, matchups, drafts, transactions, and settings.
Other public league data
Fleaflicker league IDs are sent to Fleaflicker's official public league API. MyFantasyLeague league IDs are sent to its official public export API. These connections currently return verified league summaries, not full Sleeper-equivalent analysis.
ESPN league connection
An ESPN league ID may pass through DraftADynasty to load league settings, teams, draft order, rosters, and live picks. If the connection uses ESPN sign-in details, they stay on the server and are never sent to your browser, analytics, or the draft research dataset.
Yahoo public league connection
A Yahoo public football league ID, API league key, or Yahoo league link may pass through DraftADynasty to load a verified public league summary. Yahoo requires its official API requests to use OAuth, so DraftADynasty uses one server-held read-only authorization. Visitors are never asked for a Yahoo password, browser cookie, access token, or refresh token, and the connector refuses any league Yahoo does not explicitly identify as public.
Public draft research
For approved public ESPN or Sleeper leagues, DraftADynasty may retain the provider, season, league format, roster setup, pick numbers, provider player IDs, and normalized public player names for long-term draft research. League, draft, and manager IDs are stored as one-way codes; league names, team names, manager names, raw provider responses, passwords, cookies, and sign-in details are not stored. The records remain private, are retained for longitudinal testing until removed or the dataset is retired, and cannot change rankings until a separate quality gate is met.
User-supplied roster and league paste
When you paste a roster or league page, DraftADynasty uses it only to match player and team names for the analysis. The pasted text is not saved to an account or database. Manual draft details stay in this browser tab until you clear them or close the tab.
Market values and ADP
FantasyCalc real-trade values and Fantasy Football Calculator mock-draft ADP are used as source-labeled fantasy market context, including on the public draft kit. They are not betting, DFS, or prediction-market instructions.
Local browser storage
DraftADynasty saves recent usernames, recent leagues, watched players, and on-device draft activity in your browser. Manual draft details stay in the current tab. If you sign in, valid saved leagues, searches, and watched players are also synced to your private account so they work on another device.
Native mobile companion
Public tools in the iOS and Android companion work without a DraftADynasty account. Public usernames and league IDs are sent to the selected provider or DraftADynasty for reports and league overviews. Rankings and lineup guidance use the same backend as the website. Reports, rankings and saved draft boards can be stored on your device; use Device data and app updates to remove them. Beginning with the 1.3.0 candidate, optional email-code sign-in, when enabled, uses the same account service as the website. It stores email, account ID and saved context for app functionality. Auth tokens remain in the device's secure storage and are sent only to the account service over HTTPS. Existing device leagues are imported only after your explicit choice. Export, sign-out and deletion controls are in Account; an active subscription must be managed before deletion. The app uses no advertising or tracking SDK. Expo checks for compatible app updates and downloads app assets; these update requests are separate from account and league data.
Playbook notify emails
When checkout is closed and a durable notify store is ready, /playbook may collect an email so DraftADynasty can send the purchase link on launch day. Standard campaign tags from the link may be saved with that request so we can measure which launch source worked. Those addresses are stored privately, used only for that notify purpose, and retained for up to 18 months unless you ask for deletion sooner.
Draft and app notify emails
When a durable notify store is ready, the draft assistant may collect an email so DraftADynasty can tell you once if a paid Pro tier opens, and /app may collect one so we can tell you once when the mobile app is downloadable. Both are optional — every board, grade and link on the site works without them. Standard campaign tags from the link may be saved with that request so we can measure which launch source worked. Each address records which page it came from and is used only for that page's purpose, so a draft-assistant address is never mailed the playbook or app list. Those addresses are stored privately and retained for up to 18 months unless you ask for deletion sooner.
Cookieless analytics
To improve the draft room, DraftADynasty counts anonymous steps such as opening a room, recording a first or fifth pick, finishing, recovering, undoing, or using catch-up. A random daily session code prevents repeat taps from inflating the count. These records contain no usernames, league IDs, user IDs, team names, player data, searches, links, or raw IP addresses, and are deleted after 30 days. The count works without cookies or cross-site tracking.
Website usage measurement
The website also uses cookieless Vercel Analytics for page views and fixed-label actions, including whether the weekly or yearly checkout button was selected. The checkout-selection event sends only the plan label; it does not send an email, account or league ID, payment details, or a checkout URL. A selection does not mean a purchase was completed. Page URLs are stripped of search terms and dynamic account or league identifiers before analytics receives them.
No password connection
DraftADynasty does not ask for fantasy-platform passwords, payment details, private tokens, or account-linking credentials.
