Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 5, 2026
Who we are
Footy Skillz (we, us, our) provides a soccer skill-tracking platform for athletes, parents, and coaches. We are based in Ontario, Canada. You can reach us at contact@footyskillz.com.
What we collect
- Account information: name, email, password (stored hashed), and the role you sign up under (parent, coach, club manager, athlete).
- Athlete profiles: name, year of birth, gender, dominant foot, jersey number, and which clubs or teams the athlete belongs to.
- Drill captures: short videos of athletes performing drills, plus the analyzer-derived metrics (sprint times, ball touches, etc.). Videos are stored in encrypted cloud storage.
- Usage information: pages visited, features used, error logs. We do not use third-party analytics tracking pixels.
- Payment information: handled by our payment processor (Stripe). We do not store your full card number on our servers.
How we use it
- To provide the analysis and stats you sign up for.
- To let coaches and parents linked to an athlete view that athlete's captures.
- To process subscription payments through Stripe.
- To improve the analyzer's accuracy. Anonymized capture metrics may be used to refine our models; raw videos are never used for model training without your explicit consent.
- To respond to support requests and notify you about important account or service changes.
Children's data
Footy Skillz is intentionally used by children's sports organizations. For athletes under 13, a parent or legal guardian creates and manages the athlete's profile. We do not allow under-13 athletes to create their own accounts directly. The parent or guardian decides:
- Whether to make the athlete's profile public.
- Whether to share the athlete's history with a new club when transferring.
- When to request deletion of their child's data.
Public profiles default to private. Making a profile public requires explicit parental consent and is recorded on the account for COPPA compliance.
Sharing
We share personal information only as needed to operate the service:
- Cloud infrastructure: Google Cloud (storage and analysis), Vercel (web hosting), Firebase (auth and database). All providers operate under data-processing agreements.
- Payment processor: Stripe handles billing.
- Coaches and clubs you join: coaches with an approved membership at your club can see athlete metrics and videos for athletes on their team. This is the core feature of the product.
- Legal requests: we may disclose data when required by law or to protect against fraud, abuse, or harm.
How long we keep it
Captures and metrics are kept while your account is active. When you close your account, you have a 60-day grace period to reactivate. After that, raw videos are deleted; anonymized metrics may be retained longer for service-improvement purposes. You can request immediate deletion at any time by emailing contact@footyskillz.com.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your data.
- Withdraw consent for non-essential processing.
- Lodge a complaint with your local privacy regulator (in Canada, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner).
Security
We use industry-standard practices: HTTPS in transit, encrypted storage at rest, role-based access controls, and server-side authorization checks on every data access. No system is perfectly secure, but we treat your trust as the foundation of the product.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes are flagged with a notice on the site or by email before they take effect. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change.
