Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE] · Effective: [DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how Snowy's Performance ("we," "us," "the app") collects, uses, and protects information when a coach or athlete uses the platform. Snowy's Performance is operated by Mark Snowden, reachable at markbaseball2325@gmail.com.

Information We Collect

We collect only what's needed to run the coaching platform:

• Account information — name, email address, and password (stored as a one-way hash, never in plain text), and whether you're registered as a coach or an athlete.
• Team information — the team you coach or belong to, and your role on it.
• Training data — workouts and programs a coach builds, and the sets, reps, and weights an athlete logs.
• Coach's private notes — notes a coach writes about an athlete, visible only to coaches on that athlete's team.
• Wearable / health data — if an athlete chooses to connect a WHOOP account, we receive recovery score, strain, sleep score, and resting heart rate from WHOOP. This is health-related data and is only collected if the athlete actively connects their own WHOOP account — it is never required to use the app.
• Messages — messages sent between a coach and an athlete inside the app.
• Invite information — the email address of anyone invited to join a team.

We do not collect payment information, and we do not use advertising trackers, ad networks, or third-party analytics services. The only thing stored in your browser is a login token (so you stay signed in) — no tracking cookies.

How We Use This Information

• To operate the core features: building and assigning training programs, logging workouts, tracking progress and personal records, and coach-athlete messaging.
• To show recovery and wearable trends to an athlete (and their coach, for athletes on that coach's team) when WHOOP is connected.
• To keep accounts secure (for example, checking login credentials and account status).
• To communicate with you about your account if needed (for example, responding to a support request).

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for advertising purposes.

Who We Share Information With

• Your own team. A coach can see the training data, notes, and wearable data of athletes on their team. An athlete can see their own data and whatever their coach shares with them.
• Hosting providers. The app's code and database run on Vercel and Railway, two hosting companies that store and process data on our behalf to keep the app running. They don't use your data for their own purposes.
• WHOOP. If an athlete connects WHOOP, we exchange data with WHOOP's servers under that athlete's own authorization, governed by WHOOP's own privacy policy. Disconnecting stops this at any time.
• We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety of a user or the public.

Children's Privacy

Snowy's Performance is used by athletes of many ages, including some under 18. An athlete account is expected to be set up with the knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian, arranged through the athlete's coach or team (for example, many teams collect that consent as part of enrolling in the program itself, outside of this app). A parent or guardian who wants to review, correct, or delete their child's information can contact us at markbaseball2325@gmail.com, or contact their child's coach directly.

This section in particular should be reviewed by a lawyer — laws protecting children's data (for example, COPPA in the U.S. for children under 13, and various state student-athlete data laws) can require specific consent processes depending on how old the athletes are and how the team is run.

Data Retention

We keep account and training data for as long as the account is active, so coaches and athletes can see training history over time. If you'd like your account and its data deleted, contact us at the email above and we'll remove it, other than what we're legally required to keep.

Security

Passwords are stored as one-way hashes, not as plain text. Data is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Your Rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time by emailing markbaseball2325@gmail.com. If you're an athlete, your coach may also be able to help with changes to your training data directly in the app.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
