• Profile information you choose to share (which may include a profile photo, sport, division, school, and similar details)
• Posts, comments, replies, and other user-generated content

Automatically Collected Information

When you access or use the Services, we automatically collect your IP address, device and browser information, usage data (pages visited, time on page, actions taken), and information from cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, analyze usage patterns, and improve the platform. You can adjust cookie settings in your browser.

Information From Third Parties

We may receive data from service providers who help us operate, including analytics providers, hosting and infrastructure providers, payment processors, and email delivery providers.

Public Visibility of Content and Search Engines

Content posted on the Services may be visible to the public and may be indexed by search engines such as Google. This means a post may appear in search results and be viewable by people outside the community. Do not post anything you would not want to be publicly visible. You are solely responsible for the content you choose to share.

Anonymous Posting and How We Handle Identity

Inside Athletics allows verified athletes to post anonymously. When you choose to post anonymously, your post is not displayed with your name, username, or profile, and is not attributed to your identity to other users. We do not publicly reveal the identity behind anonymous posts.

We retain underlying records associating accounts with content for security, moderation, legal-compliance, and safety purposes, and we may access this information where necessary to operate the Services, enforce our Terms, respond to legal requests, or protect the safety of users or others. No online system can guarantee perfect anonymity, and you acknowledge and accept this when posting.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate, maintain, and improve the Services; enable participation in the community; moderate content and enforce our standards; communicate with you about your account; verify identities for "Verified Athlete" status; process subscription payments; analyze usage and performance; protect against fraud, abuse, or security threats; create aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified content, insights, and promotional or educational materials about topics discussed on the Services; and comply with legal obligations.

How We Share Your Information

Service Providers — Trusted third-party vendors who assist with hosting and cloud infrastructure, email delivery, analytics, and payment processing. These providers only access the data necessary to perform their services.

Legal Requirements — We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of Inside Athletics or our users.

Community and Public Display — Content you post non-anonymously is visible to other users and may be publicly visible and indexed by search engines as described above. Anonymous posts are handled as described in "Anonymous Posting" above.

Data Retention

We retain account information until you delete your account or request removal. We retain content and analytics data for as long as necessary for operational, legal, safety, and moderation purposes. You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us at team@joininsideathletics.com.

Your Rights

Depending on your state or region, you may have rights to access your personal data, request correction, request deletion, or request a copy of your data. To submit a request, contact us at team@joininsideathletics.com.

Age Requirements and Your Responsibility for State Laws

You may use the Services only if you are old enough to do so under the laws that apply to you. Different states set different minimum ages and parental-consent requirements for online services and social platforms (for example, California, Florida, and other states have enacted laws that may impose age thresholds, parental-consent requirements, or other obligations). By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet the minimum age and any parental-consent requirements that apply to you under the laws of your state and jurisdiction, and you agree to comply with those laws. It is your responsibility to know and follow the laws that apply to you.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in violation of the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The Services are not directed to children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information and the associated account. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, or if you are a parent or guardian who wishes to review or request deletion of your child's information, contact us immediately at team@joininsideathletics.com.

If you are a minor under the law of your state, you should use the Services only with the involvement and permission of a parent or guardian, and your parent or guardian's use or permission constitutes their agreement to this Privacy Policy on your behalf.

Protection of Your Information

We implement reasonable, industry-standard security measures to protect your information. However, no online platform is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection. You use the Services at your own risk.

Your Choices

You may disable cookies in your browser, edit or delete your profile information, request account deletion, and opt out of non-essential email notifications.

Links to Third-Party Sites

Our Services may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy periodically. The date at the top reflects the latest version. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
