Privacy Policy — Pipeline Volleyball

Last updated:

Please review with a professional. This policy is a starting template provided for convenience. Because Pipeline Volleyball works with minors, you should have a qualified attorney review and finalize this document before relying on it.

Pipeline Volleyball ("Pipeline Volleyball," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you use our website and coaching services (the "Services").

1. Who we are

Pipeline Volleyball provides remote volleyball coaching, film review, and recruiting guidance to athletes and programs. You can contact us at the email address listed on our Contact page.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us: name, email, and details you submit through our forms, including information about an athlete (such as name, grade/age, position, goals, and location).
Athlete video and media: game or practice footage and related materials you choose to share with us for coaching.
Automatically collected data: basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, collected through standard web analytics and our hosting provider.

3. Children's privacy & parental consent

Our Services are directed to athletes who are often minors, and they are intended to be arranged and supervised by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

Accounts and inquiries involving a minor must be created and submitted by a parent or legal guardian.
By submitting a minor's information or video, the parent/guardian represents that they have the authority to do so and consent to our use of that information to provide coaching.
A parent/guardian may review, request deletion of, or withdraw consent for their child's information at any time by contacting us.

If you believe a child has provided us personal information without parental consent, please contact us and we will delete it.

4. How we use information

To provide, personalize, and improve coaching and recruiting services;
To review athlete film and deliver feedback;
To respond to inquiries and communicate about services;
To process payments (through a third-party payment processor);
To maintain the security and operation of our website.

5. How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with:

Service providers who help us operate (e.g., hosting, form processing, payment processing, video/film tools), under obligations to protect it;
College coaches or recruiting contacts only when you specifically direct us to as part of recruiting services;
Authorities when required by law.

6. Athlete video

Athlete footage is used solely to provide coaching feedback and the services you request. We will not publicly post or use an athlete's video for marketing without separate, explicit permission from the parent/guardian (or the adult athlete).

7. Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed to provide services and for legitimate business or legal purposes. You may request deletion at any time.

8. Your choices & rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, and you may opt out of non-essential communications. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. To exercise any right, contact us.

9. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

10. Third-party links

Our site may link to third-party services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date reflects the latest version.
