Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 September 2026.

The short version

We do not ask you to create an account, we never ask for your Fantasy Premier League password, and we cannot access your FPL account. The only piece of information you might give us is your public FPL team ID, and that stays in your own browser. Advertising is the one place where a third party is involved, and you can decline it.

Who we are

Deadline FPL is an independent website providing free Fantasy Premier League statistics and projections. For any privacy question, contact us at the address on our contact page.

What we store, and where

In your browser

  • Your FPL team ID, if you enter one on the My Team page. It is saved in your browser's local storage so you do not have to retype it, and it is never shown to anyone else. The field is empty for every other visitor. It leaves your device only as part of the request that fetches your public squad. Our server holds that squad in memory for five minutes so a refresh does not hit Fantasy Premier League again, and it is written to no database and no log. Clearing the ID is one click on that page.
  • Your advertising choice, so we do not ask again on every page.
  • Your game progress and stats, if you play the games under Play. Today's guesses in Kneejerk (so a refresh does not lose them), the number of games you have played and won, your current and best streak, how many guesses your wins took, the dates you first and last played, and your best Higher or Lower score are kept in your browser's local storage. They are never sent to us and are not linked to an account, because there are none. Clearing your browser's site data for deadlinefpl.com removes them.
  • A short-lived copy of the player data in session storage, so moving between pages is fast. It is discarded when you close the tab.

On our servers

We do not operate a user database. We do not store your name, email address, IP address or browsing history. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs for security and troubleshooting, which may include IP addresses and are retained only for a short period.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages people actually read. It sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser, and does not follow you across other sites. A visit is counted using an anonymised hash derived from the incoming request, which is discarded within 24 hours, so we cannot identify you or build a profile of your visits.

On the game pages under Play, and only there, we also use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics service. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It counts visits to those pages and a handful of anonymous events: that a game was started, a guess was made, a game was won or lost and in how many guesses, and that a result was shared. A started game carries the number of days since you last played, worked out in your browser from the dates described above, so we can see whether people come back. None of this includes which players you guessed, and none of it identifies you. Umami's own description of what it collects is at umami.is/privacy.

Advertising

This site is free because it carries advertising. We use Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
  • You can review how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you decline the advertising consent prompt, we do not load Google's advertising script at all, and every tool on this site continues to work.

Third-party data sources

Player, fixture and price data is retrieved from the publicly available Fantasy Premier League game by our servers, not by your browser. The Premier League therefore receives no information about your visit through us.

Your rights

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability over personal data held about you. Because we do not maintain user accounts or a personal-data store, in practice there is very little to exercise these rights against, but if you believe we hold information about you, contact us and we will respond.

To remove everything this site has stored on your device, clear your browser's site data for this domain, or use the "Use a different ID" button on the My Team page and decline the advertising prompt.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, we will update the date at the top of this page.
