Privacy Policy

Home Team Coach AI helps baseball and softball players, parents, and coaches review selected practice clips and receive AI-assisted training feedback. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and how users can request deletion.

Home Team Coach AI is a supplemental informational and training aid only. It does not provide medical, injury, safety, professional coaching, recruiting, eligibility, or emergency advice.

Information we collect

Practice clips. When you choose a practice clip for analysis, the app uploads that selected video to our backend so it can prepare visible skill moments and generate a coaching report. We do not access your entire video library. We only receive clips you choose to upload. Practice clips may include images, voice, surroundings, teammates, coaches, facility details, uniforms, names, numbers, or other information visible or audible in the video.

Coaching reports and training data. We may store generated reports, scores, focus areas, recommendations, confidence notes, detected activity labels, report history, practice-plan information, and progress history so the app can show prior results and personalize later feedback.

Player profile and settings. The app may store profile and settings information you enter, such as player name, batting side, throwing arm, skill level, training goal, sport, position, preferences, and app settings.

Account or anonymous identifier. The app may use anonymous, device-based, or signed-in account identifiers to sync profile, settings, purchase status, usage limits, report history, and deletion requests. A future production version may add or change sign-in methods.

Purchase and subscription information. If subscriptions or paid features are enabled, purchases are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play and may be managed through a subscription provider such as RevenueCat. We do not receive your full payment card number. We may receive subscription status, product ID, renewal status, trial status, entitlement information, app store transaction identifiers, and related payment metadata.

Device, app, usage, and diagnostic information. We may collect technical information needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the app, such as app version, platform, device type, operating system version, language, approximate region, logs, crash information, backend request status, feature usage, upload status, processing status, and abuse-prevention signals.

Support communications. If you contact support, we may collect your email address, message, attachments you choose to send, device/app details, and other information needed to respond.

How we use information

We do not use Home Team Coach AI to provide medical diagnosis, injury clearance, safety certification, scouting certification, recruiting decisions, eligibility decisions, or guaranteed performance predictions.

AI processing

Home Team Coach AI uses backend services to process selected practice clips and may send prepared visual evidence, extracted frames, report context, and related metadata to an AI model provider to generate coaching feedback. AI-generated output can be wrong, incomplete, delayed, inconsistent, or unsuitable for a particular player. Users should independently review all AI output before relying on it.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help operate the app, such as cloud database, authentication, hosting, storage, backend, AI model, media-processing, app store, payment, subscription, diagnostics, security, and support providers. We may also share information with professional advisors, legal authorities, or other parties when required or permitted by law.

Home Team Coach AI may let users share written notes, reports, or other output through the device share sheet. The app should avoid sharing original youth/player videos by default. Users are responsible for what they choose to share outside the app.

Retention

We aim to keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Uploaded raw videos are intended to be stored temporarily only as needed to complete analysis, troubleshoot failed jobs, secure the service, and support user requests. Prepared swing moments, generated reports, profile/settings data, usage limits, purchase status, and report history may be stored with the user's account or device identifier until deleted, the account is deleted, or retention is no longer necessary.

Support messages, backups, logs, payment records, fraud-prevention records, security records, and legal/compliance records may be retained for a limited period when required or permitted. De-identified or aggregated information that no longer identifies a user may be retained and used for analytics, reliability, and product improvement.

Children's and youth privacy

Home Team Coach AI may be used by parents, guardians, coaches, or players for youth sports, but it is not intended to be submitted under the App Store Kids Category unless it is redesigned and reviewed for that purpose. Minors should use the app only with parent or guardian involvement. Do not upload videos, names, team details, school details, or other information about a child unless you are the child's parent or guardian or you have all required authority and consent.

User choices and deletion requests

You can choose whether to upload a video, revoke video-library permission in device settings, edit player profile fields if supported by the production app, share or not share reports and notes, manage subscriptions through Apple App Store or Google Play, and request deletion of stored app data.

To request deletion, email support@hometeamcoachai.com with the subject line "Home Team Coach AI Data Deletion" or use the data deletion page. We may need to verify your identity or authority before deleting data. We will delete or de-identify eligible data within a reasonable period, subject to information we must or may retain for legal, tax, payment, fraud-prevention, security, backup, dispute, or compliance reasons.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including HTTPS for production backend traffic, backend storage for secrets, access controls, and database security controls where appropriate. No system can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, lost, or destroyed.

Regional privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, object to, or restrict certain processing of personal information. You may contact us at support@hometeamcoachai.com to make a privacy request. We may need to verify your identity and authority before acting on a request.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the app changes. If changes are material, we will update the effective date and, when required, provide notice in the app, on the support site, or in the store listing. For privacy questions or deletion requests, contact support@hometeamcoachai.com.
