Privacy Policy
Introduction
At PlayerGrid, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who can access it, and what rights you have.
By using the Platform, you consent to the practices described in this policy. We may update this policy from time to time, and changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
What Information We Collect
We do not actively collect personal data beyond what you voluntarily choose to provide. The information you may add to your profile includes:
- Account information: Name, email address, password
- Profile information: Age, location, playing position, experience, skills, achievements
- Media: Highlight videos, photos, and other content you upload
- Contact preferences: Preferred methods for coaches/scouts to reach you
All profile information is voluntary. You choose what to share. The more complete your profile, the better your chances of being discovered, but you are never required to disclose any specific information.
How We Use Your Information
We use your data solely for the following purposes:
- To display your profile to registered coaches, scouts, and clubs on the Platform
- To enable account management and subscription billing
- To communicate with you about your account, service updates, or support requests
- To improve the Platform and user experience
We do not use your data for AI-powered matching in the current version of the Platform. However, we may introduce AI matching features in the future. If so, this policy will be updated accordingly.
Who Can See Your Data
Your profile and uploaded content are visible only to registered and logged-in users who have created an account in the "Club / Coach / Scout" category. General visitors to the website cannot view player profiles.
Coaches and scouts cannot contact you directly through the Platform. They can only view the contact methods you have chosen to display on your profile (e.g., email, phone, social media) and reach out to you independently.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.
Payment Information
All subscription payments are processed securely through Stripe, a third-party payment provider. PlayerGrid does not store your full credit card details, bank account numbers, or other sensitive payment information on our servers.
Stripe collects and processes payment data in accordance with its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.
Cookies & Tracking
Currently, Playergrid does not use cookies for marketing, tracking, or advertising purposes.
We may introduce essential cookies in the future to improve site functionality (e.g., keeping you logged in, remembering preferences). If we add any tracking or marketing cookies, we will update this policy and request your consent where required by law.
Data Ownership & Marketing
You retain full ownership of all content you upload to the Platform, including videos, photos, and written information.
If minPlattform wishes to use your content for marketing, promotional materials, or social media, we will contact you to request explicit permission. You are free to decline without any impact on your account or service.
Third-Party Links
The Platform may contain links to external websites (e.g., club websites, social media profiles, training resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet-based service can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential.
Children's Privacy
The Platform is intended for users aged 18 and older. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to create an account and use the service.
If we become aware that a user under 18 has created an account without verifiable parental consent, we will delete the account and associated data promptly.
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately.
International Data Transfers
While our primary markets are Europe and the Americas, the Platform may be accessed globally. Your data may be stored and processed on servers located outside your country of residence.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Any transfer of data outside the EEA will be protected by appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Correction: Request that inaccurate or incomplete data be corrected
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and personal data
- Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Restriction: Request that we limit how we use your data
- Objection: Object to certain types of data processing
- Withdraw consent: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your profile and personal data within 30 days. Some data may remain in our backups for a limited period for legal, security, or technical reasons.
Subscription and billing records may be retained for accounting and tax purposes as required by law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or Platform features. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on the Platform.
