COPPA Compliance

Our Commitment to Children's Privacy

SPL45H is used by basketball players of all ages, including children under 13. We take the privacy of young users seriously and comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This page explains how we handle data for users under 13 years of age.

Age Verification

During account creation, we ask users to provide their date of birth. If a user indicates they are under 13, we apply additional privacy protections and require verifiable parental consent before collecting any personal information beyond what is necessary for the app to function.

Parental Consent

Before a child under 13 can create an account or use features that require personal information, we require verifiable parental consent. This may include:

• Parent email verification with confirmation link
• Parent account creation and child profile linkage
• Signed consent form (for certain features)

Without parental consent, children can use the app in offline-only mode with data stored solely on the device.

Information We Collect from Children

With parental consent, we may collect:

• Display name (can be a nickname, real name not required)
• Age/date of birth (for age-appropriate features)
• Shot tracking data (makes, misses, locations, session data)
• Team membership (if added to a team by a coach/parent)

We do NOT collect from children:

• Photos or videos
• Precise geolocation
• Contact lists
• Voice recordings (all voice processing is on-device only)
• Social media accounts

How We Use Children's Information

Children's data is used solely to:

• Provide the shot tracking and statistics features of the app
• Sync data across devices (with parental consent)
• Enable team features when added by a verified coach or parent

We do NOT use children's data for advertising, behavioral tracking, or third-party marketing. We do not create public profiles for children.

Parental Rights

Parents and legal guardians have the right to:

• Review the personal information collected from their child
• Request deletion of their child's account and all associated data
• Refuse further collection or use of their child's information
• Manage their child's privacy settings through the parent dashboard

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.

Data Security for Children

We apply the same security standards to children's data as all user data, including encryption at rest and in transit, secure authentication, and access controls. Children's accounts have additional restrictions on social features and data sharing.
