This Privacy Policy explains how GRIND Global ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our app and related services. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Introduction and Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how GRIND Guam ("GRIND Global," "we," "us," "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with the GRIND Global mobile application and related services (collectively, the "App"). This Privacy Policy applies to all Users of the App, including Athletes, Parents, Coaches, and Administrators, as those terms are defined in our Terms and Conditions.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into, and should be read together with, our Terms and Conditions, available at thehumanplane.com/grindbasketball. By accessing or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Definitions

Athlete Data — Personal information, performance statistics, progress logs, video submissions, and other data associated with an Athlete Account.
Minor — Any User under the age of 18, or under the applicable age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence.
Personal Information — Information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual.

4. Children's Privacy and Parental Consent (COPPA)

4.1 Overview

GRIND Global is designed to accommodate athletes of all ages, including children under the age of 13. Because the App is used by children under 13, GRIND Guam applies the protections described in this Section 4 in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and other applicable children's privacy laws, and GRIND Guam acknowledges that it has actual knowledge that children under 13 use the App.

4.2 Verifiable Parental Consent

Before a child under 13 may create or use an Athlete Account, a Parent must create or authorize the Account using the Parent's own email address, not the child's. GRIND Guam does not permit a child under 13 to register an Athlete Account using an email address that does not belong to a Parent. By creating or authorizing an Athlete Account for a child under 13 using the Parent's own email address, the Parent affirmatively consents to the collection, use, and disclosure of the child's Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. All Account-related communications, including notices of this Privacy Policy, requests for consent, and any updates to this Privacy Policy, will be sent to that Parent email address.

4.3 Limited Collection for Children Under 13

For Users under 13, GRIND Guam limits collection of Personal Information to what is reasonably necessary to enable participation in the App's core features (name or username, age or age range, and Athlete Data described in Section 3.3). GRIND Guam does not knowingly collect more Personal Information from children under 13 than is reasonably necessary, and does not condition a child's participation in an activity on the child disclosing more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary.

4.4 No Behavioral Advertising to Children

GRIND Guam does not knowingly use Personal Information collected from children under 13 to serve targeted or behavioral advertising to those children.

4.5 Parental Rights

A Parent may, at any time:

Review the Personal Information collected from their child
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of their child's Personal Information and Account
Refuse to permit further collection or use of their child's Personal Information
Revoke consent previously given

To exercise these rights, a Parent may contact GRIND Guam using the information in Section 20. GRIND Guam will respond to verified Parental requests within a reasonable time, consistent with applicable law.

4.6 Users 13–17

Users between the ages of 13 and 17 may create an Athlete Account with Parental awareness and involvement as described in our Terms and Conditions. Parents of Users in this age range retain the ability to manage or monitor the Minor's Account through an associated Parent Account, where such functionality is available.

5. How We Use Information

We use the information described in Section 3 to:

Create and administer Accounts, including Athlete, Parent, Coach, and Administrator Accounts
Provide, operate, and maintain the App's features, including training content, progress tracking, and challenges
Process payments and manage Subscriptions
Communicate with Users, including Service updates, schedule changes, and support responses
Personalize content recommendations based on age, skill level, or activity
Analyze usage trends to improve the App and develop new features
Measure and optimize marketing and advertising performance
Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or violations of our Terms and Conditions
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights

6. How We Share Information

GRIND Guam does not sell Personal Information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

6.1 Service Providers

We share information with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, including app hosting/platform services (e.g., Movement), payment processing, analytics, and customer support. These providers are authorized to use Personal Information only as necessary to provide services to us.

6.2 Within the App (Coach and Parent Visibility)

Athlete Data, including progress tracking, submitted video clips, and performance statistics, may be visible to Coach Accounts affiliated with GRIND Global for the purpose of providing feedback, and to the associated Parent Account, where such functionality is enabled within the App.

6.3 Advertising Platforms

We may share limited, aggregated, or hashed information with advertising platforms (e.g., Meta/Facebook) to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We do not knowingly share Personal Information collected from children under 13 for advertising purposes.

6.4 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of GRIND Guam, our Users, or others.

6.5 Business Transfers

If GRIND Guam is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, Personal Information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify Users of any such change in ownership or control of their Personal Information.

7. Athlete, Parent, and Coach Account Data

7.1 Athlete Accounts

Athlete Accounts store profile information, training progress, performance statistics, and any Content the Athlete chooses to submit (notes, journal entries, video clips).

7.2 Parent Accounts

Parent Accounts may be linked to one or more Athlete Accounts for purposes of monitoring, managing, or supporting the Minor's use of the App. Parent contact information is used for account administration, billing, and communications regarding the linked Athlete's activity, including practice schedule updates and announcements.

7.3 Coach Accounts

Coach Accounts may view Athlete Data for Athletes affiliated with GRIND Global programs for the purpose of providing training feedback and support. Coaches do not have access to Athlete Data beyond what is necessary for their coaching role.

7.4 Administrator Accounts

Administrator Accounts manage platform content, announcements, practice schedules, scrimmage video postings, and community moderation. Administrators may access Account information as necessary to operate and maintain the App.

8. Video and Media Submissions

The App may display scrimmage videos, training content, and other media. Scrimmage videos are sourced from public video platforms (e.g., YouTube) and displayed within the App for viewing by Users. User-submitted video clips and media are stored in connection with the submitting User's Account and may be visible to Coaches and linked Parent Accounts as described in Section 6.2.

Users should not submit video or media content that they do not have the right to share. By submitting Content, you grant GRIND Guam a limited, non-exclusive license to display and use that Content within the App for the purposes of providing and improving the App's features.

9. Analytics, Cookies, and Tracking Technologies

We use analytics tools to understand how Users interact with the App, including which features are used, how often, and for how long. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual Users.

The App may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain session state, and improve performance. You can control or disable these technologies through your device settings, but some features of the App may not function properly without them.

10. Push Notifications

With your consent, the App may send push notifications to your device regarding practice schedule updates, announcements, challenge reminders, and other App-related information. You can manage or disable push notifications at any time through your device settings or within the App.

We do not use push notifications to deliver behavioral advertising to children under 13.

11. Payment Information

The App offers subscription-based access to premium training content. Payment information is collected and processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe. GRIND Guam does not store full credit card or bank account numbers on its servers; Stripe handles all payment data securely in accordance with PCI-DSS standards.

We receive transaction confirmations and limited billing information (e.g., subscription status, plan type, billing email) from Stripe to manage your Subscription. For details on how Stripe handles your payment data, please review Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

12. Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information for as long as your Account is active or as needed to provide the App's services. After Account deletion, we may retain certain information for a limited period to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Athlete performance data, training logs, and submitted Content are retained in connection with your Account until you request deletion or delete your Account through the App's account settings. Anonymous, aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for analytics and improvement purposes.

13. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission, access controls, and regular security reviews.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

Access the Personal Information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of your Personal Information and Account
Object to or restrict certain processing of your information
Withdraw consent for data processing where consent was given
Request a portable copy of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 20. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable time, consistent with applicable law. Parents may exercise these rights on behalf of their children as described in Section 4.5.

15. International Users and Data Transfers

The App is operated from Guam, USA. If you access the App from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the App, you consent to such transfers in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy regardless of where it is processed.

16. Third-Party Content and Links

The App may contain links to third-party websites, services, and content (e.g., YouTube videos, external training resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Third-party content displayed within the App (such as scrimmage videos) is subject to the terms and privacy policies of the originating platform.

17. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. Because there is no common industry standard for how to interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals, the App does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to such signals. We will continue to review this as standards evolve.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify Users through the App or via email (sent to the Parent email address for Accounts associated with children under 13). The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.

Your continued use of the App after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

19. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United States and the Territory of Guam, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under this Privacy Policy shall be resolved in the courts located in Guam, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
