Privacy policyin plain English.

We collect what it takes to run an athlete page and nothing we do not need. Your athlete's phone number, personal email and address are never on the public page. We do not sell your information to anybody. You can export everything or delete everything at any time, and delete means gone.

The rest of this page says the same thing in more detail, because details matter when the subject is somebody's kid.

Account information. The name and email of the person who created the account, a password we store only as a hash, and for paid plans a billing record that lives at our payment processor. We never see or store a full card number.

Athlete profile information. Whatever the family puts on the page: name, school, city, state, grad year, sport, position, height, weight, speed, GPA, stats, awards, photos and links to film. This is the part that is meant to be seen.

The private contact layer. Athlete cell number, athlete personal email, parent name, parent phone, and any transcript link. This is stored separately and it is never shown on the public page.

Usage. Which pages were opened, when, roughly from where by region, and basic device and browser information. We use it to show a family who looked at their page and to keep the site working. We do not build advertising profiles with it.

Feedback. If you send us feedback or a testimonial, we keep what you typed. A testimonial is published only if you tick the box, and only with your first name and city.

Every athlete page has two layers and they are handled differently.

The public layer is indexable and shareable. Anyone with the link can see it, and search engines may list it. That is the point of a recruiting page.

The private layer opens only when the account holder lets somebody in, by sending a link, handing out a code, or approving a request. For any athlete under 18, the parent on the account is the one who approves it. Access granted can be pulled back at any time, and the family can see who opened it and when.

We do not host video files. You paste a link and the clip plays on the page from wherever it already lives, which may be YouTube, Hudl, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo or Google Drive.

That means we never hold a copy of your film, and it also means the service hosting that video has its own privacy policy and its own settings. Whether a clip plays, and who can see it, is controlled there and not here. If you set a YouTube video to Private it will not play on your page.

An athlete under 13 cannot hold an account here. A parent or legal guardian creates the account, holds the login, and is the person we communicate with. By creating that account the parent is giving consent for the athlete information they choose to put on the page.

For any athlete under 18, the parent holds the private contact layer, approves every request to open it, and is copied on every message sent to the athlete.

If we learn that a child under 13 created an account without a parent, we remove the account and the information in it. If you believe that has happened, email us and we will handle it the same day.

Anyone with the link can see the public page. Nobody can search the athlete board without a verified coach account, which requires a school or district email or a manual review.

Only people the family has let in can see the private contact layer.

A coach can start a draft page for a player from the team roster. A draft is private: it appears on no board, no search and no public page, and only the parent who receives the claim link can open it. The parent chooses whether to publish it or delete it. A draft nobody opens within 30 days is deleted automatically, along with the parent account we made for it.

A business can only make a Brand Offer to an athlete who has switched Open to offers on, and for a minor that offer goes to the parent inbox first.

Verified coaches keep a private recruiting board: their own notes, rankings, stages and contact dates about athletes they are following. Those notes belong to the coach. The athlete and the family never see them, they are shown only to the assistant coaches that coach invited and only when the coach chooses to share an entry, and they are deleted when the coach deletes their account.

A verified coach the family has confirmed can write a few sentences about the athlete, called the coach's word. The family gets an email when it is posted and can hide it from the dashboard at any time.

Our own staff can access account data only to support an account, investigate a safety report, or meet a legal obligation.

We keep this list short on purpose, and none of these companies get your data to use for their own marketing.

We keep account and profile data for as long as the account exists. We keep it after graduation on purpose, because the page is meant to outlive high school and the athlete owns it.

You can export everything at any time. One tap in the dashboard produces a file with the profile, every season, every stat, every award and every film link.

You can delete everything at any time. Deleting the account removes the public page, the private contact layer and the profile data from our database. Billing records we are legally required to keep are the one exception, and they contain no athlete profile information.

When you log in we set two cookies: the session cookie that keeps you logged in, and a small one that only says which kind of account you have, so the menu can show your Dashboard link. The only other cookie is a short referral code, set only if you arrive from a link a friend sent with our Share button: it lasts 30 days, holds a random code and nothing about you, and lets us credit the friend. No advertising cookies, no third party trackers following you around the internet, and no cookie banner to click through because there is nothing to consent to.

We count visits to our marketing pages so we know which pages work. It is a plain count by day, page and where the visit came from, such as a search engine or a social site. It uses no cookie, it stores no address, and it cannot tell one visitor from another. Athlete pages and dashboards are never counted this way.

When you use the Share button on this site, we count it, with no name attached. Browsers that send Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control are not counted.

Traffic is encrypted in transit. Passwords are stored as hashes and never in readable form. The private contact layer is stored apart from the public profile and is served only to approved viewers.

No platform can promise perfect security and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that we collect less than we could, and that a breach would be told to you plainly and quickly.

If we change something meaningful here, we update the date at the top and email the account holder. We will not quietly widen what we collect and leave you to find out.

Email hello@recruitmykids.com. For anything involving a child's safety, put SAFETY in the subject line and it goes to the top of the pile.
