Who we are
thecounterpick is an independent project run from Mexico. For any privacy matter, email us at contact@thecounterpick.com.
Data from visitors
You don’t need an account and we don’t ask for personal data. Your draft lives in the page address (the URL).
To know whether the suggestions help, we anonymously save how each draft was used: mode, map, how far you got, bans, picks, whether they matched what we suggested and how long it took. Each draft carries a random number that does not identify you, and we do not save your IP, account or #tag with this data.
We save your language in a technical cookie (draft_locale) and in your browser storage so the site opens in your language next time. Your brawler sort order, the view you prefer in Meta and Pros, your World Finals predictions and which news you have already seen are also remembered there, only in your browser.
If you use “Any feedback?”, we save that draft (mode, map, bans, picks and suggestions) and the comment you write, with nothing that identifies you, to improve the suggestions. Please do not write personal data in the comment.
Like any website, the servers that host us may log technical data for each visit (IP address, browser, date) for security and to keep the site running.
Public match data
To build the meta we analyze Ranked matches (and some friendly matches in Ranked modes) from high-rank players, obtained from the official public Brawl Stars API: player tag (#tag), player name, rank, brawlers picked and the result of each match.
We only use this data to produce aggregate statistics (which brawlers are picked and win the most). We don’t publish individual profiles or matches.
If you don’t want us to analyze your matches, email contact@thecounterpick.com with your #tag and we’ll stop.
Donations
If you choose to support us with a donation, the payment is processed by an external platform with its own privacy policy. We don’t receive or store your payment details. Donations are voluntary and don’t unlock anything extra.
If you support us and agree to appear, we show only the name you choose at the bottom of the pages, with no amounts or other details. You can ask us to remove it at any time.
Service providers
We use third-party services to run the site: Supabase (database), our web hosting provider and Google (ads). Each handles data under its own policies and may do so outside your country.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your data, or object to its use, by emailing contact@thecounterpick.com. We will reply within 20 business days.
Minors
The site is for a general audience and we don’t ask anyone for personal data. If you are a minor, ask an adult to review this policy with you.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above. Important changes will be announced on the site.
