1. Information we collect
To provide the service we collect:
- Athlete profile details: name, date of birth, school, ZIP, position, and measurables.
- A headshot you upload.
- Contact details for the account holder, and a parent/guardian email for athletes under 18.
- Content you add — film links, notes, and messages with coaches.
- Basic technical data needed to run and secure the site.
2. How we use it
We use this information to build the athlete’s profile, show it to coaches and college recruiters on the platform, power the monthly coach rotation and messaging, and operate billing and account features. We don’t sell personal information.
3. Children and parental consent
Athlete Barn is used by athletes under 18, including under 13. For those athletes, a parent or legal guardian creates and owns the account and must provide verifiable consent before the athlete’s profile becomes active. The guardian can review the information collected, ask us to correct or delete it, and withdraw consent — which deactivates the account.
We are actively building our practices around children’s privacy requirements. This page will state the specific protections and any formal compliance status once our legal review is complete. Parents of athletes under 13 should also read our Children’s Privacy Notice.
4. Who can see a profile
Athlete profiles are visible to coaches and college recruiters who use Athlete Barn — that visibility is the point of the service. Guardians control what goes on the profile and can remove it at any time.
5. Data retention and security
We keep account data for as long as the account is active. When you request permanent deletion (via support or Settings), we complete deletion or irreversible anonymization of personal profile data within 14 calendar days of verifying your request. Some billing or audit records may be retained where required for legitimate business or legal reasons. We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold.
6. Your choices and contact
Guardians and adult athletes can access and correct their information in the app, revoke consent for a child’s account, and request permanent deletion. For privacy or deletion requests, email support@athletebarn.com or use our contact page. We aim to fulfill verified deletion requests within 14 calendar days.
