Information we handle

Account information: Google sign-in identifiers, name, email address, verification status, and profile image when available. Google handles your Google password; you do not give that password to Sideline Playbook.
Coaching content: plays, drills, diagrams, formations, notes, tags, assignments, and settings you save. Logos selected for export are stored in your browser in the current app and are included in exports you create.
Billing information: Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, payment/subscription status, billing dates, and records needed to administer access, purchases, cancellations, and refunds. Stripe handles full payment-card information. Our app does not store your full card number or security code. Stripe may make limited billing, transaction, and payment-method information available to us for administration and support.
Technical information: our hosting, authentication, and infrastructure providers process information such as IP addresses, browser/device information, request details, and security or error logs when delivering the service.
Support information: messages and files you choose to send us. Please avoid sending passwords, full payment-card information, or student records.

How we use information

We use information to sign you in, save and retrieve your coaching content, generate exports, manage paid or complimentary access, provide support, communicate about billing and service changes, prevent misuse, troubleshoot problems, and meet legal obligations.

Coaching content is not publicly listed in the app by default. Authorized administration and service providers may access information when needed to operate, support, secure, or lawfully administer the service. We do not sell your personal information or use your playbook content for targeted advertising.

Providers and disclosures

We use Google/Firebase for sign-in, hosting, and cloud storage; Cloudflare for the billing backend and related infrastructure; and Stripe for payments and subscription management. These providers process information needed for their services and may also process information under their own privacy policies. Support email is handled through our email provider.

The app also loads fonts and software libraries from Google and jsDelivr. Those providers receive technical request information when your browser connects to them.

If you choose Save to Google Slides, the app requests Google Drive permission for that feature and sends the generated presentation to your Google account. You can manage connected-app permissions through Google. Downloaded files and exported presentations are under your control; deleting an app record does not remove your separate copies.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or security, address fraud, or complete a business transfer with appropriate privacy safeguards and any legally required notice or consent. We may also disclose information at your direction.

Browser storage

The app and its authentication providers use browser storage and related technologies for sign-in, preferences, and functionality. The current app stores items such as drawing preferences, library settings, and an export logo locally. Unsaved work can remain in memory while a page is open. Clearing browser storage can remove local preferences and logos; signing out does not necessarily clear every locally stored preference. Use care on shared devices.

Retention and deletion

We retain coaching content while your account remains open to provide the service, including viewing and exporting after paid access ends. Canceling a subscription alone does not delete your account or saved plays. This is not a promise of permanent hosting: account deletion, lawful removal, or discontinuation of the service can end availability. We will provide reasonable advance notice of a planned service discontinuation when practicable so you can export content.

You can delete individual plays and drills while editing access is active. You may request account or content deletion by emailing support, including when your account is read-only. We verify requests before acting. Some billing, tax, dispute, fraud-prevention, or legally required records may be retained as necessary. Copies held by service providers or in backups may take additional time to expire under applicable retention processes. We do not promise immediate removal from every system.

Your choices and rights

You can export saved coaching content, change available account preferences, manage Google permissions, cancel future subscription renewals, and contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information. Rights and exceptions depend on applicable law; we respond within applicable legal deadlines and may need to verify identity. Contact us if you cannot use an in-app control. Account deletion and billing cancellation are separate requests; tell us if you want both.

Adults only; no student records

Sideline Playbook is for coaches age 18 or older. We do not offer player/student accounts. Do not enter student/player personal information, including identifiable student records, contact details, health information, or photographs. Use generic position labels and non-identifying examples. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it as appropriate.

Security, processing locations, and changes

We use access controls and other safeguards appropriate to the service, but no system is completely secure. Information may be processed in the United States and other locations used by our providers. Contact us about a suspected security issue.

We may update this policy and will revise its effective date. For material changes, we will provide additional notice as required by law and obtain consent when required before using information in a materially different way.
