Overview
It is our belief that you own your data. That means when you delete your account we don't keep any further identifying records.
We also take privacy seriously and we give you the option to control what information can and cannot be seen.
We also believe that data is useful and powerful. We hope to responsibly steward this power for the betterment of the Baduk Community. We want to collect user data for a couple of really neat reasons.
Here is some of what we are hoping to learn: - How many Baduk players there are in the world - What are some of the best practices for clubs, meetups, and tournaments. - How many new players and learning the game and sticking with it. - and more...
What we hope to do with what we learn is to turn around and share it with the community so that we can all learn from each other and improve.

One tool we are really proud to use is SimpleAnalytics. It allows us to gain insights into how our site is being used while being able to fully respect our users privacy. It also allows us to share those insights with clubs to empower organizing efforts. However, unlike questionable “free” solutions, SimpleAnalytics costs money. So, if you also have a website and are looking for an ethical and beautiful analytics solution, please consider using this referral link to sign up and we’ll both receive one month free!
