Seeking Seconds Beta Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 4, 2026
Muted Winter LLC operates Seeking Seconds Beta, a tool for reviewing Steel Challenge results and planning practice. This policy explains how we handle information in the private Chrome extension beta. Contact us at support@mutedwinter.co.
Information we handle
Account information. We handle your email address, account identifier, shooter name, USPSA/SCSA member number, beta access status, and account setup records. You enter and confirm your member number; we do not look up the shooter during account creation. The number is then locked to your account. We also record whether a tester is an adult or an eligible junior, and guardian approval for junior access. We do not require a full date of birth.
Sign-in information. Supabase processes the credentials used to sign in and provides session tokens. The extension saves session tokens in your browser profile to keep you signed in and renew your session. It does not save your email verification code in a backup or keep a copy after you submit it. Sign-in tokens are excluded from the extension's backup exports and new recovery snapshots.
Match and practice information. The extension handles match names and dates, divisions, classifications, stage and string times, penalties, and the notes, tags, goals, and practice entries you enter. Avoid putting sensitive personal information about yourself or others in notes.
Import records. The extension handles the source URLs, selected result pages, and captured reports used for sync, search, import, and retries. Public reports can include other competitors' names, member numbers, and scores as well as your own results.
Technical information. Account, email, and hosting providers receive connection information such as IP addresses, request times, and security or error logs. An IP address may indicate an approximate location. The extension does not request your device's precise location or monitor unrelated browsing activity.
Support information. We receive messages, screenshots, and files you choose to send to support. A backup supplied for troubleshooting may contain your full saved app data, including notes and cached information about other competitors.
Why we use information
We use information to sign in approved testers, link their member numbers, manage Beta Access, display and analyze scores, support practice planning, perform requested imports and scheduled sync, provide optional notifications, protect the service, and answer support requests.
The private beta is free. It does not collect payment-card information or charge subscription fees. We do not sell personal information, use it for targeted advertising, or include advertising or behavioral analytics trackers in the extension.
Storage and service providers
Supabase hosts the account database and authentication service. Our project database region is US East (Ohio), identified as us-east-2. Account information and sign-in requests go to Supabase. Infrastructure, security, support, or service metadata may be processed elsewhere under its service arrangements; the database region is not a promise that all processing occurs in Ohio.
Resend delivers authentication emails, including the email address and sign-in message. Your own email provider also processes messages delivered to your inbox.
Google Workspace handles messages sent to support@mutedwinter.co and administrative correspondence, including guardian approval messages when applicable.
Cloudflare provides DNS services for mutedwinter.co and its authentication subdomain. DNS requests are processed separately from the extension's local match database. If you visit a company website, its hosting services may also receive normal web connection information.
Match histories, strings, notes, goals, and import caches are stored locally in your browser profile. They are not automatically uploaded to our account database. Local recovery copies may retain earlier saved data. Signing in is not a cloud backup and does not transfer scores to another device.
Files saved through Backup to Local Device are under your control. If you choose a cloud-synced folder, that folder's provider may upload them according to your settings.
Source websites and disclosure
SCSA sync sends your member number to SCSA to request available results and classification information. Match search sends your search text to PractiScore and accesses selected result pages. These sites receive normal network information and may use existing browser cookies. The extension does not ask for your SCSA or PractiScore password.
The Chrome Web Store separately processes installation and distribution information under Google's policies. Store eligibility and Seeking Seconds account approval are separate processes.
Authorized Muted Winter LLC personnel and service providers may access information needed to operate accounts, provide support, and maintain security. We may disclose information when legally required or when reasonably necessary to protect people, rights, or the service. We do not publish your private notes or make your saved history available to other testers.
Browser permissions
The extension uses local storage to save your information and session, and background processing to coordinate account checks and imports. With the requested site access, it opens and reads SCSA and PractiScore pages using bundled extraction code. Scheduled tasks use browser alarms. Notifications are optional and display reminders or updates you enable.
It does not read your email inbox or collect a general history of websites you visit. Selected score-page content and URLs are used for the import features described above.
Retention and your choices
Local scores, notes, caches, and recovery copies remain until you remove them through the app or browser controls, or the browser removes the extension's data. Sign-out removes the saved sign-in session but retains scores. Use a separate browser profile on a shared device and export a backup before deleting local data or uninstalling.
We retain hosted account information while it is needed to provide your account and beta access, handle support, maintain security, and meet applicable obligations. Ending Beta Access does not automatically delete your account or local scores. We delete troubleshooting attachments within 90 days after the support issue is closed. We retain guardian approval emails while the junior account is active. Other support records are retained only as needed for support and applicable obligations. Records may be retained longer when legally required or for a documented need to resolve a dispute or security incident.
Contact support@mutedwinter.co to request access to or deletion of hosted account information, removal of a support attachment, or correction of a member number. We may verify your identity before acting. We complete verified account-deletion requests within 30 days after verification, except for information we must retain for applicable legal obligations or a documented dispute or security incident. We will explain any information we need to retain and any limits on the request. Providers may retain security records or backup copies for their applicable retention periods after active records are removed.
Deleting a hosted account does not delete files you exported, data on every device, messages in your own email account, or records independently held by SCSA, PractiScore, or Google. Clearing local app data does not itself delete your hosted account.
Junior testers
This private beta is for approved testers in the United States. Junior testers must be older than 13 and younger than 18, with a parent or guardian's approval by email before access is activated. We retain that approval email while the junior account is active and record the approval and age band rather than requiring a full birth date. A parent or guardian can contact support about their junior's account or withdraw permission. We will then review the request and disable junior access where appropriate.
The beta is not offered to children aged 13 or younger. If you believe someone outside the permitted age range has provided information or obtained access, contact support so we can investigate, restrict access, and address the information held.
Security
We use encrypted network connections and account access controls. These controls do not encrypt exported files or prevent someone with access to your browser profile or device from accessing local data. Protect your email account, browser profile, device, and backups. No system can guarantee complete security.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy when our practices change and revise the date above. We will provide notice of material changes through the app or account communications as appropriate.
