Privacy Policy

PolyRISE Football ("PolyRISE," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data when you use polyrisefootball.com and all related services (the "Platform").

By using the Platform, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

• Parent/Guardian: Full name, email address, phone number, password
• Athlete: Full name, age, grade, school, position, sport
• Performance Data: 40-yard dash, vertical jump, broad jump, shuttle times, bench press, weight, and other combine metrics recorded at PolyRISE camps
• Photos: Athlete profile photos you choose to upload
• Athlete ID: TRN-XXXX identifier assigned by PolyRISE staff
• Payment Information: Processed securely by Stripe — we do not store credit card numbers

Information Collected Automatically

• Session cookies used for authentication (your login state)
• General usage data such as pages visited and features used
• Device and browser type for platform compatibility

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your parent account and athlete profile
• To display performance metrics, progress charts, and session history in your portal
• To generate PR-VERIFIED seals and public recruiting profiles
• To power recruiting tools including the School Fit Finder, Coach Outreach Templates, and Recruiting Roadmap
• To process subscription payments through Stripe
• To send transactional emails such as password resets and subscription confirmations
• To notify PolyRISE staff of new registrations so athlete profiles can be linked
• To improve the Platform and develop new features

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.

3. Public Recruiting Profiles

For Recruit and Elite Recruit subscribers, athlete recruiting profiles are accessible at a public URL (polyrisefootball.com/athlete/[ID]). These profiles display:

• Athlete name, position, grade, and school
• Performance metrics and progress data
• Hudl film link (if provided)
• PR-VERIFIED seal (if issued)
• PolyRISE contact information for coach inquiries

Public profiles are intentional — they are designed to be shared with college coaches for recruiting purposes. If you wish to make a profile private or remove it, contact us at polyrise@polyrisefootball.com.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

The Platform is designed for use by parents and guardians on behalf of student athletes. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 years of age. All accounts must be created by a parent or guardian who is at least 18 years old.

Parents may submit athlete data — including performance metrics and photos — for minor athletes in their care. By doing so, you represent that you have the legal authority to provide this information on behalf of the minor.

If you believe a child under 13 has had information submitted without proper parental consent, contact us immediately at polyrise@polyrisefootball.com.

5. Data Storage & Security

• Data is stored securely using Redis (encrypted at rest) hosted on Upstash infrastructure
• Athlete photos are stored on Vercel Blob storage with public URLs
• Passwords are hashed using bcrypt — we never store plain-text passwords
• All connections to the Platform use HTTPS/TLS encryption
• Payment data is handled exclusively by Stripe and never stored on our servers
• Admin access is protected by session-based authentication with secure, HTTP-only cookies

While we implement industry-standard security measures, no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the Platform:

These providers have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their data practices.

7. Cookies

We use session cookies solely for authentication purposes — to keep you logged in to your parent portal or admin account. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

Session cookies expire after 14 days or when you sign out, whichever comes first.

8. Your Rights & Choices

You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Portability: Request your athlete's performance data in a readable format
• Profile removal: Request removal of your athlete's public recruiting profile
• Cancellation: Cancel your subscription at any time through your portal

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at polyrise@polyrisefootball.com or call (817) 658-3300. We will respond within 10 business days.

9. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your subscription or request account deletion, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law (e.g., financial records for tax purposes).

Athlete performance records may be retained in anonymized form for internal benchmarking purposes.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
