Privacy Policy

Effective April 28, 2026 · Ascend Athlete, LLC

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide: Email address, name, age range, position, competitive level, equipment access, training schedule, parent/guardian contact information (for users under 14), and athlete profile data used for recruiting emails (stats, GPA, club team, highlight video URL).

Payment information: Processed securely by Stripe. We never store credit card numbers, CVVs, or bank account information on our servers.

Usage data: Pages visited, sessions completed, XP earned, outreach emails sent, and coach engagement data (opens, clicks). We use Google Analytics 4 for anonymized website analytics and Vercel Analytics for performance monitoring.

AI interaction data: When you use the recruiting email generator or Game Day AI, your inputs are sent to Anthropic (Claude) for processing. We do not store AI conversation logs beyond the generated output.

2. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

We take children’s privacy seriously. For users under 13:

  • Accounts must be created and managed by a parent or legal guardian.
  • We collect only the minimum data necessary: child’s first name, age range, position, and training progress.
  • We do not collect: the child’s email address, precise location, photos, videos, or social media information.
  • We do not display advertising to children or share children’s data with third parties for marketing purposes.
  • Parents can review, modify, or delete their child’s data at any time by emailing [email protected].
  • Parents can refuse further collection of their child’s data, which may require closing the account.

5. Email Tracking

When you send recruiting emails through our platform, we embed a 1x1 tracking pixel to detect when a coach opens the email, and we wrap highlight links to detect clicks. This data is used solely to provide you with engagement metrics (open count, click count, engagement score). Coach email addresses and tracking data are never shared with other users.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and training data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your subscription, we retain your data for 90 days in case you resubscribe, after which it is deleted. You can request immediate deletion at any time.
