A plain-language boundary map for browser-local lists, portable exports, consent-based reminders, and any later account decision.
Saved and compare lists stay in your browser
Current saved-program and compare tools use device-local storage. They are useful for planning, but they are not an account and do not follow you across devices.
Export and import are the near-term portability path
The safe alternative to accounts is a file or share-link workflow that families control. This avoids storing youth-adjacent planning profiles before a full privacy model exists.
Email reminders require consent
Reminder preferences use the hockey-updates list, one-click unsubscribe, and sanitized listing IDs where saved-list context is used.
Account sync waits for deletion and export rules
Cross-device sync should wait until retention, deletion, export, support ownership, and database access rules are proven.
Account decision
What would have to be true before account sync.
Families can export and delete account data without support tickets.
Saved players, reminders, and lists have clear retention rules.
Database access rules are tested before any public account launch.
