The Fantasy Dispatch is a paper for fantasy football leagues, running this season as a private pilot in four leagues. The editions are for the leagues' members only, nothing is sold, and there are no advertisers.
If you are a member of one of the leagues: your email address, which you gave us so you could sign in. Your Sleeper user name and id, and which of the leagues you play in, which is how the site knows which editions to show you. The dates you sign in. Which editions you open, and when. Whether you want notification emails.
The email address and league list are what let you in and keep everyone else out. Every edition is checked against your membership before it is served, which is why the paper can report on your league without it being readable by strangers.
The record of which editions get opened tells us which parts of the paper are worth writing. This is a pilot season, and that record is the main evidence for whether it continues.
We would rather say so plainly than have you discover it. When you open an edition, the site notes which one and at what time, against your name. It is not anonymous.
It is used to decide what to write more of and what to drop. It is never used in print. Nothing in a report or a column will ever needle you about what you have or have not read, and no other member can see your reading.
Your details are not shared with anyone, not sold, and not used to market anything. There is no advertising on the site, no third-party analytics, and nothing that follows you to other websites.
The site sets one cookie, called fd_session. It holds your sign-in session so the server can check your membership when you open an edition. It is not used for advertising or tracking, and it expires with your session.
Your browser also keeps your sign-in details and a note of which editions you have already opened, so the site can mark new ones. That note stays on your own device.
Sign-in is handled by Supabase and the site is hosted by Cloudflare. Both keep their own ordinary server records of requests, as every website's host does. The sign-in page also loads its code library from a public code library service, jsDelivr, which is how nearly every site loads such things.
Members get two kinds, and no others. A sign-in email with your link and code, sent only when you ask to sign in. A notification when new editions are published, which you can switch off with the toggle on the hub at any time.
If you are on the waiting list, you get a thank-you when you join, and after that only news about the Dispatch.
The home page has a waiting list for people outside the pilot leagues. If you join it, we hold what you typed in: your name, your email address and which describes you (running a league, playing in one, or neither). We also note the date you joined and whether our thank-you email was sent. Joining does not give you a sign-in.
We use it for one thing: to email you about the Dispatch, when there is news about early access or about how the paper is coming along. It is not shared, not sold and not used for anything else. The list is stored with Supabase and the emails are sent through Resend, the same services that handle members' sign-in and emails.
To come off the list, reply to any email from us or write to hub@thefantasydispatch.com. Your entry is deleted, and that is the end of it.
Say the word and it is done: your access is removed, your email address is deleted from the members list, and the record of what you read goes with it. No forms, no delay, no follow-up asking why.
One honest limit. Past editions are a newspaper about your league, so they report team names, scores and trades the same way a match report does. That is the league's own record and it stays as published, whether or not you remain a member.
The Dispatch is running privately through the 2026 season in four leagues. Apart from this page and the home page, the waiting list is the only part of the site open to people outside them. If the paper opens up more widely, this page will be rewritten before anyone outside the leagues is invited in.
Any question about your details, or anything above: reply to a Dispatch email or write to hub@thefantasydispatch.com.
