Privacy Policy

Who we are

Sakman (“we,” “us”) is a sports-betting decision tool. We help you decide when to hedge, wait, or cash out a bet you have already placed. We are not a sportsbook. We do not accept, place, or process any wagers or money.

What we collect

What we do not collect

An account is required

Sakman requires an account. Your bets are tied to your account so that they stay yours — on a shared device, this is what stops one person’s bets appearing for the next person who signs in.

Third-party services we use

Each processes data only to provide the app’s features.

How we use your data

To show your bets, run the hedge and cash-out calculations, sync bets from a sportsbook you have linked, keep your history across your devices, and fix problems in the app.

Data security

Connections are encrypted in transit. Your sportsbook credentials are never exposed to us. Saved bet data is restricted so that it is reachable only by your own signed-in account.

Deleting your data

You can delete your Sakman account from inside the app, under Account. This removes your sportsbook links, your saved bets, and your login. You may also write to dbrodus@gmail.com and ask us to do it.

How long we keep your data

We keep your account data and saved bets for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account (or ask us to), your login, saved bets, and sportsbook links are deleted from our live systems promptly — these are hard deletes, not deactivations. Residual copies in our encrypted database backups are purged on the backup rotation schedule, within 30 days. We may retain specific records longer where the law requires it.

Where your data lives

Your data is stored in the United States (our database provider hosts it in the AWS us-west-2 region, Oregon).

If there is a breach

If a security breach affects your personal information, we will notify you by email without undue delay after we become aware of it, and tell you what happened, what data was involved, and what we are doing about it.

Your choices

Age

Sakman is intended for people who are 21 or older, or of legal betting age in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher.

Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States.

Changes

We will update this policy as the app changes and post the new effective date here.

Terms of Use

Effective date: 15 August 2026 · Version 2026-08-15

1. Agreeing to these terms

You accept these Terms by checking the acceptance box when you create a Sakman account, or by using the app after notice of updated Terms. We record the version you accepted and the date you accepted it. If you do not agree, do not use Sakman.

2. What Sakman is

Sakman is an informational tool. It does not accept wagers, hold funds, or place bets on your behalf. Calculations rely on information you provide or that we retrieve from your sportsbook, and on odds available at the time displayed. Odds change continuously. Sportsbooks may decline, limit, void, or adjust wagers and may restrict accounts.

3. No guarantees

Sakman does not guarantee any outcome, any profit, or the accuracy, timeliness, or availability of any data. All figures are shown before taxes. You are solely responsible for the wagers you place and for verifying any figure before acting on it. Always confirm the numbers in your own sportsbook before acting on them.

4. Not financial or professional advice

Sakman does not provide financial, investment, or tax advice.

5. Eligibility

You must be of legal betting age in your jurisdiction and use the app only where sports betting is legal. Complying with your local laws is your responsibility.

6. Your license to use Sakman; our ownership

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for your own non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. Sakman — including its software, design, calculations, text, and branding — is owned by us and protected by intellectual-property law. These Terms transfer no ownership to you.

7. Your accounts; your responsibility for your betting

You are responsible for activity under your Sakman account and for your own sportsbook accounts. Linking a sportsbook is carried out by our third-party provider under their terms. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your wagering activity, your sportsbook accounts, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law.

8. Acceptable use

Do not misuse the app, attempt to breach its security, or use it for unlawful purposes.

9. Third-party services

The app depends on third parties, including SharpSports, Supabase, and The Odds API. We are not responsible for their outages, errors, or data.

10. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about Sakman, you assign to us all rights in that feedback, and we may use it without restriction or compensation. This is what lets us ship improvements suggested by users without a claim attaching to them.

11. Warranty disclaimer

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY FIGURE IT DISPLAYS IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST WAGERS, OR BETTING LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. To the same extent, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the app is capped at the greater of the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose or $100. This cap is a bargained-for allocation of risk and applies even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.

13. Arbitration and class-action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. You and Sakman agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. YOU AND CATALYST EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking it. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing dbrodus@gmail.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 13, any proceeding that may be brought in court must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Tennessee, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

15. Termination

You may stop using Sakman and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or where required to protect the service or comply with law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 6–7 and 10–14) survive.

16. Apple App Store

If you downloaded the app from Apple’s App Store: these Terms are between you and Sakman, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app and is not responsible for any product warranty, product claims, third-party intellectual-property claims, or legal compliance relating to the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

17. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect (severability). These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the app. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control (force majeure). Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.

18. Changes and contact

We may update these Terms; we will post the new version and effective date here, and material changes will be presented in the app for acceptance. Questions: dbrodus@gmail.com.

Responsible gambling

Only bet what you can afford to lose. If betting has stopped being fun, help is free and confidential, 24/7.
