Children's Privacy Notice

Your child is under 13. Federal law (the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA) requires that before we collect any personal information from or about a child under 13, we give you — their parent or legal guardian — this notice, and get your consent.

Their first name and date of birth — entered by you when you set up their account. Date of birth is what determines they need a parent-managed account in the first place, and is recorded rather than just a one-time check.

Video, image, and voice — when your child records or uploads a training video, that video contains their image and voice.

Activity data — which team and practice each video was submitted for, and when.

Coach feedback — written notes a coach leaves on your child's video, visible only to you and that team's coaches/admins.

We do notcollect your child's email address, phone number, or any other directly identifying information — only what's listed above, all tied to your own parent account.

To operate the coaching platform: so your child can submit training videos as part of their team's assigned practices, so their coach can review those videos and give feedback, and so — only if you allow it — teammates can see videos your child marks "Visible to team."

• Your child's coach and your club's admins — always, regardless of video privacy setting
• Your child's teammates — only for videos you've allowed to be marked "Visible to team"
• Cloudflare Stream — stores and streams the video file itself
• Supabase — our database and authentication provider, stores the account and video records
• YouTube (Google) — only if you agree to this updated notice, and only when your child opens a drill that has a demo video: see "Drill demo videos (YouTube)" below

Anthropic (our AI provider) never receives your child's information. Coaches can use an optional "Build with AI" feature to draft training plans. It is sent only the coach's own goals and settings and the team's age group — never your child's name, account, videos, or messages; any team member's name a coach types is removed before the request is sent.

We do not sell this information, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone for their own independent use.

New in this update. Some drills include a demonstration video from YouTube, picked by the coach or from NextTouch's drill library — public videos made by other people, not uploaded by NextTouch users. When your child opens such a drill, the app shows the video's picture (loaded from YouTube). On iPhone and iPad, tapping it plays the video inside NextTouch in YouTube's own embedded player (privacy-enhanced mode, autoplay off). On Android, tapping it opens the video in the YouTube app or website instead, outside NextTouch.

When the picture loads and when the video plays, YouTube (Google) receives the device's IP address and basic device information, may store or read cookies or similar information on the device, and may show ads in the player, under YouTube's terms and the Google Privacy Policy. YouTube says ads in privacy-enhanced mode are not personalized. NextTouch never sends YouTube your child's name, account, team, or videos, and never connects to a YouTube or Google account. Tapping "Open in YouTube," or YouTube's own links in the player (its logo or the video title), opens YouTube outside NextTouch, and YouTube's own terms and privacy policy apply there.

Your choice:your child does not see demo videos — and nothing is loaded from YouTube — until you review and confirm this updated notice in the app (you're asked when you next open NextTouch, or any time in Profile → Legal & Safety). Everything else in the app works the same either way.

• Videos are automatically deleted, from our systems and from Cloudflare, six months after upload — this keeps happening on schedule even during the 60-day window below, so a video already close to six months old when a club is suspended is not guaranteed the full 60 days.
• If your club's subscription lapses, the club has 60 days to reactivate before its admin accounts, remaining videos, and roster are permanently deleted — but your own account isn't deleted by this, only its connection to that club.
• If you delete your account: your login, profile, videos, and chat messages are promptly removed from our active systems. Reports and blocks tied to your account are kept as a safety record even after deletion. Our database plan doesn't keep separate backups, so deleted information isn't expected to remain anywhere else (see "Backups" in our Privacy Policy).

Every video your child submits can be set to "Coach only" or "Visible to team." Separately, when you set up your account, we ask you to choose whether your child is allowed to use "Visible to team" at all. If you say no, our system will not allow that setting to be applied to any of your child's videos — not by you, and not by a coach.

You can, at any time, by contacting us at admin@nexttouchsports.com:

• Review what we have on file for your child
• Delete a specific video — available directly in the app on the video itself, or by contacting us
• Delete your child's entire account and profile — available directly in the app and takes effect immediately
• Withdraw your consent — available directly in your Profile, under Legal & Safety. This immediately stops your child from submitting any new training videos, without requiring you to delete their account — you can resume at any time. If you'd rather delete the account entirely instead, that option remains available too
• Refuse to allow us to collect any further information by withdrawing consent as described above, or by deleting the account entirely

Consent happens through a dedicated screen shown the first time you log into a newly created parent account, before you can do anything else in the app. It restates the information above and asks you to explicitly choose whether "Visible to team" sharing is allowed, then confirm you are the child's parent or legal guardian.

How we confirm you're the parent. Two safeguards work together:

• Your email and login. The parent account is created and confirmed through your own email address, and you sign the consent with your full name.
• Your club. NextTouch clubs are private and invite-only: a player can join a team only with that team's invite code. Under our Club Subscription Agreement, every club agrees to give team invite codes only to the parents or legal guardians of players on its own roster — families the club already knows through its own registration.

We don't ask for a separate signed paper form, ID, or payment card. If you believe a child's account was set up by someone who isn't their parent or legal guardian, contact us at admin@nexttouchsports.com and we will suspend the account while we look into it.

If we materially change how we collect, use, or disclose information from your child, we will send you an updated version of this notice and ask for your consent again before applying the changed practice to your child's account. We will not apply a material change retroactively without that new consent.
