Privacy Policy

1. Who This Policy Applies To

StatNation uses role-based access, including roles such as Owner, Head Coach, Assistant Coach / Team Manager, Parent, and Player. The information available to you, and the information you can enter about others, depends on your role. Team Owners and Head Coaches, who set up teams and enter or manage player data, have additional responsibilities described in this policy and the Terms of Use.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Account information. Your name, email address, and (if you provide it) phone number, along with the authentication identifiers used to sign you in (including when you sign in with Apple or Google) and any profile photo or team logo you add.

Team and performance data. Rosters, player names and jersey numbers, teams, games, and the statistics, shot-chart entries, and notes your team records during and after games. This is the core "Team Data" that powers the Service.

Purchase information. Records of the unlocks and purchases you make (such as which upgrade you bought and when). Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store; we do not receive or store your payment card number.

Communications. Messages you send us for support, feedback, or other requests.

Device and usage information. Technical information collected automatically when you use the Service, such as device type, operating system version, app version, crash and diagnostic logs, general usage events, and IP address.

AI feature inputs. When you use AI-powered features (for example, game recaps and plain-language insights), the relevant game and statistical data is sent to our AI provider to generate the output. See Section 7.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as health, biometric, or government-ID data), and we ask that you not enter it into the Service.

3. How We Collect Information

We collect information: (a) directly from you, when you create an account, set up a team, enter data, make a purchase, or contact us; (b) from other authorized team members, for example when a coach or team statistician adds you to a roster or records statistics about a player; (c) automatically, through your device and our servers as you use the Service; and (d) from service providers, such as our authentication and analytics partners, who provide us information needed to operate the Service.

4. How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

• provide, maintain, and operate the Service, including creating accounts and authenticating users;
• record and display team and player statistics, insights, shot charts, and trends;
• generate AI-assisted recaps and summaries (Section 7);
• process purchases and unlock paid features;
• send you service-related messages and, where you have push notifications enabled, milestone and game alerts;
• with consent where required, send marketing or promotional emails (such as product updates, tips, and offers) to adult account holders only — never to players or other minors — which you can opt out of at any time;
• provide customer support and respond to your requests;
• monitor, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service, including developing new features;
• detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms; and
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

Legal bases (where applicable). Where privacy law requires a legal basis, we rely on: performance of our contract with you (to provide the Service); your consent (for example, push notifications, or a parent's consent to process a child's information); our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Service and keeping it secure; and compliance with legal obligations.

5. How We Share Information

We share personal information only as described here. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

With other team members. Team and player data is shared with members of your team according to their roles. For example, a coach can see the statistics they and their staff record, and a parent authorized on a roster can follow their player. Team Owners and Head Coaches control much of what is entered and who is added to a team.

At your direction. When you choose to share content — such as posting a stat card to social media or sending a report to family — you make that information available to the people or platforms you share it with.

With service providers. We use trusted third parties to run the Service. They may process personal information only to provide services to us, under contractual confidentiality and security obligations. Our current key providers are:

This list may change as our Service evolves; we will keep this policy up to date to reflect the providers we rely on.

For legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our Terms; or to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of StatNation, our users, or the public.

In a business transfer. If StatNation is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

De-identified and aggregated data. We may share or use de-identified or aggregated information (which does not identify any individual) for purposes such as analytics and improving the Service.

6. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality and to understand site usage. In the app, we use analytics tools (such as Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics) to understand how features are used and to fix problems. We use these tools to operate and improve the Service — not to build advertising profiles or serve interest-based ads. You can control cookies through your browser settings and limit certain mobile analytics through your device settings.

7. AI Features

A core part of StatNation is turning your team's numbers into plain-language recaps and insights. To do this, when you use an AI feature, we send the relevant game and statistical data (for example, the box score and key events of a game) to our AI provider, currently OpenAI (using the GPT-4o mini model), which generates the recap or insight and returns it to us.

We send only the data needed to produce the output, and we rely on our provider's business/API terms, under which your data is not used to train their general, publicly available AI models. We do not use AI to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects about anyone. If you would prefer not to use AI features, you can simply not use them.

8. Children and Youth Athletes

This section explains how we handle information about minors, including children under 13.

StatNation is designed for adults to use, and accounts are not offered to children under 13. At the same time, StatNation is a youth-sports product, so information about young athletes — including children under 13 — may be entered into the Service by an authorized adult, such as a coach, team statistician, or parent.

Consent is the adult's responsibility. An adult who enters, edits, or shares information about a minor is responsible for having obtained any parental or guardian consent required by law (including the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, "COPPA," for children under 13) and by the rules of their league or organization. Team Owners and Head Coaches are responsible for their team's player data and for handling privacy requests and objections from families on their roster. We rely on these adults to have the authority and consent they represent they have.

How we treat children's information. Information about a child is used only to provide the Service to that child's team and family — for example, to record and display the child's statistics, generate that team's recaps, and enable sharing that an authorized adult chooses to do. We do not use children's information for advertising or marketing, we do not sell it, and we do not knowingly allow it to be used to build advertising profiles.

Rights of parents and guardians. If you are the parent or guardian of a child whose information is in StatNation, you may contact us at coach@statnation.app to review the information we hold about your child, ask that we stop further collection or use of it, or request that it be deleted. In some cases you may also need to contact the child's Team Owner or Head Coach, who controls the team's roster and data. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the required consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, and afterwards only as necessary for legitimate business purposes such as maintaining records, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and enforcing our agreements.

When an account is deleted, we delete or de-identify the associated personal information within a reasonable period, except where we are required or permitted to keep it. To preserve accurate team history, certain team and game statistics may be retained in de-personalized form — for example, team totals and game records that no longer identify an individual player.

10. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information, including encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS), authenticated access to our systems and APIs, and access controls that limit who can reach personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised.

11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

In short: you have control over your information, and how you exercise these rights depends a little on where you live.

Regardless of where you live, you can:

• Access and update your account information in the app's settings, or by contacting us.
• Request a copy, correction, or deletion of your personal information by emailing coach@statnation.app.
• Manage notifications — turn push notifications on or off in your device settings; some limited technical logging continues so the Service can function.
• Opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or by contacting us. You will still receive essential service messages (such as receipts, security notices, and account or support messages), which are not marketing.
• Manage your purchases through your Apple ID / App Store settings.

We will verify your request before acting on it, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. We may decline requests that are unreasonable, repetitive, or that we cannot lawfully fulfill, and we will explain why.

If you are in Canada. Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections. You may withdraw consent to certain uses (subject to legal or contractual limits), and you may direct a complaint to us or to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta. Where we send commercial electronic messages, we do so in accordance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) — including obtaining consent where required, identifying ourselves as the sender, and including an unsubscribe option in every such message.

If you are in the United States. Depending on your state, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to access or delete it, to correct it, and to appeal a decision about your request. Because we do not sell personal information or use it for targeted/cross-context behavioral advertising, there is no such activity for you to opt out of. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. Parents also have the rights described in Section 8.

If you are in the EU/UK. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, you have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at coach@statnation.app.

12. International Data Transfers

We operate from Canada, and our service providers may store or process information in Canada, the United States, and other countries. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those where you live. Where required, we take steps to ensure your information receives an appropriate level of protection when it is transferred, and by using the Service you understand that your information may be processed in these locations.

13. Links and Third-Party Services

The Service may link to or rely on third-party services and websites (see Section 5). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies. Your dealings with a third party are governed by that party's terms and privacy policy.

14. App Store Privacy Disclosures

Apple requires apps to display a privacy summary ("privacy nutrition label") on the App Store. Those labels are a high-level summary; this Privacy Policy provides the fuller explanation of our practices. If there is ever an inconsistency, this policy governs our actual practices.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app, by email, or by posting the updated policy with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date means you acknowledge the updated policy.

16. Contact Us
