Terms of Service
Last Updated: February 2026
Welcome to YouPickBest. By accessing or using our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.
1. Service Overview
YouPickBest is a quiz platform that enables users to create ranking quizzes and vote through tournament-style comparisons. Accounts are optional for voting but required for creating content.
2. User Accounts
You may create an account using one of the following methods:
- Email and password — you create a username, provide your email, and set a password
- Magic link — you provide your email and sign in via a one-time link sent to your inbox
- Google sign-in — you authenticate through your Google account
- Apple sign-in — you authenticate through your Apple account
When using magic link authentication, your account security depends on the security of your email account. You are responsible for keeping your email account secure.
When using Google sign-in, your authentication is subject to Google's own terms and security practices. We receive limited profile information from Google (see our Privacy Policy for details).
When using Apple sign-in, your authentication is subject to Apple's own terms and security practices. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email" feature, we will use the relay email address provided by Apple. We receive limited profile information from Apple (see our Privacy Policy for details).
Additional account responsibilities:
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account
- You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account
- You must provide accurate information when creating an account
- You must not share magic link emails with others — each link is for single use by the intended recipient
- You must be at least 13 years old to use this service
