Privacy

When you bid: a display name, an email address, and — only if you choose to add them — a social handle and a short public message. We also record the amount, which creator’s board it was on, and when it happened.

When you add a creator to the site: the handle, platform and links you enter about them. When you report a board: your reason, and your email if you supply one so we can reply.

We never see your card. Payment is handled by Polar, who are the merchant of record — card numbers, billing address and tax details go to them directly and never touch our servers. What comes back to us is an order ID and the email you paid with.

We do not collect IP addresses, we do not fingerprint your browser, and there is no account to create. Nothing on this site asks you to log in.

Public: your display name, your avatar, your handle if you added one, the total you have spent on a board, your position on it, and your public message. That is the whole point of the product — you are paying for a name in a ranked list, and the list is visible to anyone, including search engines.

Never public: your email address. It is used to recognise you when you bid again, to send your receipt, and to reach you about a refund or a dispute. It is not shown on any board, not included in any page we serve, and not sold, rented or shared for anyone else’s marketing.

If you would rather not be identifiable, use a display name that isn’t your real one and skip the handle. Boards work fine with a pseudonym, and we do not verify that a display name is genuine.

Anyone can add any public creator here, which means a board with your name on it can exist without you ever having agreed to it. We think that is a fair way to run a leaderboard, but it only works if saying no is easy.

Use the report link on the board, or email hello@simp.bid. If the board is about you and you want it gone, we remove it — you do not have to justify the request, and we do not ask you to prove who you are first for a removal. Removed boards disappear from every listing and their page stops resolving.

Creator avatars are copied to our own storage rather than hotlinked from the platform you post on, so removing a board removes the image with it.

There is no cookie banner on this site because there is nothing to consent to. We run no analytics, no advertising pixels, no third-party scripts and no session recording, and we set no cookies on any public page.

The one exception is our own admin panel, which sets a session cookie when a member of our team signs in. It is strictly necessary for that login and is never set for visitors.

Polar — payments and receipts, as merchant of record. They hold your payment details under their own privacy policy.

Convex — our database and backend, where boards, bids and emails are stored.

Vercel — serves the site itself.

That is the entire list. We add no one to it without saying so here first.

Boards, placements and public messages stay up while the board exists — a leaderboard that quietly forgets who paid is not a leaderboard.

Records of money are kept longer than anything else, because we are required to: a bid is an accounting and tax record, and it also has to survive long enough to answer a chargeback. We keep those for as long as the law requires even after you have asked us to remove your name from the public side.

Wherever you are, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to take your name and message off the public boards, or ask us to delete what we are not required to keep. If you are in the UK, EU or California you have those rights by statute; we apply them to everyone rather than checking where you live.

Email hello@simp.bid from the address you bid with and we will action it. We do not charge for this and we do not make you fill in a form.

One honest limit: removing your name from a board does not reverse the payment, and the financial record of it remains. If you want the money back as well, that is the refund process in the terms.
