Know Your Tout (KYT) checks sports bet slips against the market. This page explains what information KYT uses, where it goes, and your choices. The short version: your journal stays on your device, and you never need an account.

Your journal, saved slips, the fees you log and any draft you start are saved in your browser or on your phone. They are not sent to us. Clearing your browser data, or using "Clear all local data" on the Learn page, deletes them.

To find the market price, we send the pick and game you typed to Google Gemini, which works out what the bet is, and to The Odds API, which returns Pinnacle's price. We do not store the text of your pick for this. We do keep a log of each lookup that has no account, IP address or slip text: the sport, the kind of bet, the number on the bet, and the prices (yours and the pros') or why we could not find one. It helps us see which bets we cannot price yet.

If you upload a screenshot, it goes through our server to Google Gemini to be read. We do not save the image. Crop out your name and account number first.

You do not need an account to use KYT. If you sign in, Clerk runs the sign-in for us and processes your email address, and your name if you use Google or Apple sign-in where offered. Signing in does not upload your journal.

When Premium goes on sale in the app, Apple or Google handles the payment, and RevenueCat, our subscription service, receives your purchase details and your KYT account ID so Premium can turn on.

If you have Premium, the single picks you save are stored on our server with your account so we can record the closing price: the pick, the game, the prices, your stake and the result you enter. Report cards you create are readable by anyone who has the link.

If a service submits a response or evidence through KYT, we store the submission. Evidence stays private to the person who sent it and our moderators. Approved responses are public.

If you ask for Premium early access, we store your email address and which page you signed up on. We use it only to tell you when Premium opens, and we never sell or share it. To be removed, email info@knowyourtout.com.

If you send a question from the Questions page, we store the question and, if you give it, your email address so we can reply. We may publish good questions on that page without your name or email.

The website counts visits to each page, and the name of the site a visit came from (for example reddit.com), as daily totals. This count uses no cookies and stores nothing about you: no IP address, device or account.

The website (not the app) can use the Reddit Pixel to measure visits that come from our Reddit ads. It loads only if you say yes in the cookie banner. If you say no, or have not answered, it does not load. When it loads, it records that a page was visited and may set a cookie; Reddit processes this under its own privacy policy. We do not send Reddit your slips, picks or journal.

You can change your answer any time with "Cookie choices" in the footer of the website. Your answer is saved in your browser for 12 months, and then we ask again. If you change a yes to a no, the tool stops loading the next time a page loads.

KYT plans to show ads from Google AdSense on the website; none run yet. When they start, Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can turn off personalized ads at adssettings.google.com, and read how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Before ads start, we will ask visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland for consent to ad cookies. We do not show ads for gambling or betting.

Our server briefly uses your IP address to apply daily limits on photo reading and price lookups, and keeps routine technical logs for security and to fix problems. We do not sell personal information.

When you check a slip, or pass on a bet the market says loses money, the app adds to anonymous site-wide totals (the number of slips checked, and the amount users recorded passing on) that we show on the Home page. Only daily totals are stored: no account, pick, tout or IP address.

KYT is meant for adults. Do not use it if you are under the legal betting age where you live.

You can delete your account and Premium data yourself on the Account page (Delete my account). To ask what we hold about you, email info@knowyourtout.com. We will update this page if what we collect changes.
