Overview

OFF SZN Hoops (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates a publicly-available recruiting coverage site at offsznhoops.com. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, what your rights are, and how to get a profile removed.

The site has two separate data streams that each deserve their own explanation: user accounts (people who register and sign in) and player profiles (public recruiting pages for high-school athletes). We treat them differently because the consent model is different.

1. User Accounts (self-registered)

When you create an account we collect:

  • Name, email, password — passwords are hashed with bcrypt; we never store them in the clear and they’re never logged.
  • Home state — used to scope your default rankings / news feed.
  • Optional profile info — user type (player / coach / parent / scout / fan / media), phone, city, birth year or date of birth, gender, and for players height, weight, position, school and club team, plus a parent or guardian’s name and email. All optional; you can skip every one and still use the site.
  • Sign-in with Google or Apple — if you choose it, we receive your name, email and an account identifier from that provider. We do not receive your password.
  • Text-message alerts (optional) — if you turn them on, we store your mobile number and a record of your consent, and send texts through our SMS provider. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or turn alerts off in Account Settings.
  • Push notifications (optional) — if you allow them, we store a device or browser push token so we can send the alerts you chose. You can turn them off in your browser or device settings.
  • Messages and posts — forum posts, comments, corrections, contact-form and tip submissions you send us, and any photos you upload.
  • Device and log data — IP address, browser type, and pages requested, used for security, rate limiting and abuse prevention.
  • Subscription data — if you subscribe, Stripe handles the card number; we receive only a subscription status + plan tier. We never see your card.
  • Usage data — pages viewed, searches, follows, saved items. Used to personalize rankings, generate the “For You” feed, and detect abuse.
  • Local storage — your browser remembers your watchlist, state preference, and recently-viewed players. These never leave your device.

You can exercise data rights directly from Account Settings: download a JSON export of everything we hold on your account, or permanently delete your account and all associated data — both are instant and require no email request (with a paid plan, deletion runs when the period you’ve paid for ends, and you can cancel it until then). For requests that can’t be handled in-app, email privacy@offsznnetwork.com and we respond within 30 days.

2. Player Profiles (public data)

Recruiting is inherently a public-records beat. Player profiles on OFF SZN Hoops are built from publicly-available sources: published rosters, press coverage, tournament records, commitment announcements, and social media that the athlete has publicly posted. Profiles may include name, photo, position, class year, school, club program, measurables, rankings, offers, visits, and commitment.

We do not publish contact details (home address, phone, email), grades, medical data, government ID numbers or financial information on player profiles. Our staff may privately keep a player’s or a parent’s phone number or email, supplied by the family or a coach, to verify facts or invite the family to claim the profile; it is never shown publicly. If you believe a profile contains sensitive information that shouldn’t be there, tell us immediately (see “Profile Removal” below).

Athletes (or their parents / guardians) can claim their profile to correct information, request a takedown, or manage what’s displayed.

3. Minors — COPPA and Parental Consent

Users under 13: OFF SZN Hoops is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly allow users under 13 to create accounts. If we learn that someone under 13 has created an account, we delete the account and any associated data promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, emailprivacy@offsznnetwork.com and we will remove it.

Player profiles of minors: Some high-school athletes covered on the site are under 18. We only display information that is already publicly available (rosters, box scores, commitment announcements) and we do not collect data directly from minors. A parent or legal guardian can request the complete removal of any player profile, with no questions asked, by emailingprivacy@offsznnetwork.com with the athlete’s name, school, and the parent’s relationship to the athlete. We act on verified guardian requests within 7 business days.

Middle-school coverage: Our middle-school rail, which covers a narrow slice of top 6th–8th-grade prospects, follows the same policy: public sources only, immediate removal on guardian request, no direct data collection from the minor.

For a shorter, plain-language product overview (under-13 accounts, guardian claims, public vs private data, and removal steps), see Youth safety.

4. Profile Removal

Whether you’re the athlete, a parent / guardian, or a rights holder, the fastest path is our tracked removal form:

Request profile removal →

Submitting creates a tracked request, emails you a confirmation with a reference number, and notifies our team. We verify your relationship to the athlete (typically with a reply confirming the school or guardian relationship) and remove the profile within 7 business days. You can also email privacy@offsznnetwork.com directly if you prefer.

For copyright or licensing takedown requests (photos, article content, video highlights), use the DMCA policy, which has its own designated agent and statutory timeline.

5. How We Use Information

  • Operate and secure the site; authenticate users; prevent abuse.
  • Personalize rankings, the “For You” feed, state-scoped default views, and email alerts you opt into.
  • Send transactional email (account verification, password reset, commitment alerts on players you follow, subscription receipts).
  • Process subscription payments via Stripe; Stripe’s privacy policy governs card-level data.
  • Measure product performance with Google Analytics 4 and PostHog analytics (unless you opt out — see Your Privacy Choices), and catch errors with Sentry.
  • Use AI tools from our AI provider to help staff draft, summarize or screen content (for example, flagging forum posts for review). We do not use these tools to make legal or similarly significant decisions about you.

5a. Service Providers We Share Data With

We share personal information with vendors that process it on our behalf to run the site. The categories (and the providers our code uses today) are:

  • Hosting, file storage and content delivery (Vercel, including Vercel Blob for uploaded images)
  • Database hosting (a managed PostgreSQL provider)
  • Caching and rate limiting (Upstash)
  • Background jobs (Inngest)
  • Payments (Stripe)
  • Email delivery (Resend)
  • Text messages (Twilio), only if you turn on text alerts
  • Error monitoring (Sentry)
  • Analytics (Google Analytics 4 and PostHog), unless you opt out
  • Bot protection on sign-up (Cloudflare Turnstile)
  • Sign-in (Google and Apple), only if you choose them
  • AI processing for staff tools (Anthropic)
  • Advertising (Google AdSense), only on pages where an ad placement is enabled

We may also disclose information to comply with law or legal process, to protect the rights and safety of users and others, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.

6. What We Don’t Do

  • We do not sell personal information for money.
  • We do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing.
  • Some state laws can treat analytics or advertising tags as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. You can opt out at Your Privacy Choices, and we honor the Global Privacy Control browser signal as an opt-out. We run Google Analytics with Google signals and ad personalization turned off for everyone.
  • We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.
  • We do not use recruiting data to target advertising back at the recruited athletes.

7. California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you’re a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we’ve collected about you, delete it, correct inaccuracies, and limit the use of sensitive personal information. You also have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information: use Your Privacy Choices or turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would require offering a right to limit.

Send CCPA / CPRA requests to privacy@offsznnetwork.com with the subject line “CCPA request” and enough identifying information for us to verify you. We respond within the 45-day statutory window.

8. Your Rights Under State Privacy Laws

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: confirm whether we process your personal information and access it; get a portable copy; correct inaccurate information; delete it; and opt out of its sale, sharing for targeted advertising, or profiling. We give these rights to every user regardless of state.

  • How to ask: use Account Settings (export or delete), the profile removal request for a player profile, Your Privacy Choices to opt out, or email privacy@offsznnetwork.com.
  • Verification: we verify requests by matching information you give us to what we hold, usually by confirming control of your account email.
  • Authorized agents: you may use an authorized agent; we may ask for signed permission and confirm your identity with you directly. A parent or guardian may act for a minor.
  • Appeals: if we decline your request, reply to our decision or email privacy@offsznnetwork.com with the subject “Privacy appeal” and we will review it and respond with our reasons. If you disagree, you may contact your state attorney general.
  • No discrimination: we will not deny service, charge a different price, or provide a different quality of service because you exercised a privacy right.

Business responsible for this site: OFF SZN Hoops LLC, 1090 N Fiesta Blvd, Suites 101 & 102, Gilbert, AZ 85233.

OFF SZN Hoops covers high-school recruiting as editorial content. We do not license athlete names or likenesses for advertising, merchandise, or endorsement purposes. If you believe your name or likeness has been used in a way that crosses the editorial line, email privacy@offsznnetwork.com.

9. Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies for session authentication (signed JWT from NextAuth) and CSRF protection. We use browser localStorage for preferences that never leave your device (watchlist, recently viewed, theme, state default).

We use Google Analytics 4 and PostHog to understand how the site is used; both set first-party cookies or local storage. They do not load if you opt out at Your Privacy Choices or your browser sends Global Privacy Control, and we store that choice in a small cookie. PostHog session recording is turned off. If a Google AdSense placement is enabled, its script (pagead2.googlesyndication.com) may set cookies under Google’s Privacy Policy (opens in new tab). We do not set our own retargeting pixels or fingerprinting scripts.

10. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for the stated purpose. Specific retention periods by data type:

  • Account data — retained while your account is active and for 12 months after closure, unless you request earlier deletion. You can request immediate deletion at any time from Account Settings.
  • Player profiles — retained as editorial archive indefinitely unless removal is requested (see “Profile Removal” above).
  • Analytics events — aggregated and retained for up to 24 months, then purged. Raw event data (if any) is anonymized within 90 days.
  • Audit logs — retained for 36 months for security and fraud investigation purposes.
  • Payment records — retained for 7 years per standard financial-record obligations.

10a. Security Incident & Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will:

  1. Notify regulators — report to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach (GDPR Art. 33 / state equivalent).
  2. Notify affected users — send individual notice by email where feasible, or post a prominent site-level notice when individual contact is not reasonably possible, within the time the applicable state breach-notification law requires. Questions: privacy@offsznnetwork.com.
  3. Document the incident — keep an internal record of all personal data breaches, their effects, and remediation steps taken.

If you believe your OFF SZN account has been compromised, change your password immediately at /forgot-password and email privacy@offsznnetwork.com with the subject line “Security concern”.

11. Your Data Rights (Self-Service)

Registered users can exercise data rights directly from Account Settings:

  • Export your data — download a JSON file of everything we hold on your account (full profile and demographic details, follows, posts and comments, reactions, suggestions, claims, subscription info, and any push/device records) via Settings → Account → Your data → Download as JSON (also available at /api/profile/export when signed in).
  • Delete your account — permanently remove your account and your personal data, including your follows, reactions, suggestions, and claims. Forum posts, forum replies, and article comments you wrote stay up so other people's conversations aren't broken, but they're no longer linked to you and show as “Deleted user”. In the website and the iOS app: open the menu → Settings → Account → Delete my account. You will be asked to confirm before deletion runs. If you have a paid plan, it stops renewing, you keep it until the end of the period you’ve already paid for, and your account is deleted on that date — Settings shows the date and lets you cancel the deletion until then. Once deletion runs it cannot be undone.
  • Email preferences — opt out of marketing email at any time from Settings or via the unsubscribe link in any email we send.

For requests that can’t be handled in-app (e.g., removal of a player profile you don’t own, or a data-portability request in a structured machine-readable format), email privacy@offsznnetwork.com.

12. Cookies, Tracking & Consent Records

Cookies we set: We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in, plus a cookie that remembers your privacy opt-out if you set one. We do not set our own retargeting pixels or fingerprinting scripts. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics 4 and PostHog are described in section 9.

Terms of Service acceptance: When you create an account we record a termsAcceptedAt timestamp so we can demonstrate you agreed to the then-current ToS. You can request a copy of this record by emailing privacy@offsznnetwork.com.

Email marketing consent: We record your newsletter opt-in/opt-out preference with a timestamp each time it changes — including the IP address of the request — to satisfy CAN-SPAM and CASL unsubscribe-record obligations. You can change this at any time in Account Settings.

Minor profiles (COPPA): We do not knowingly allow users under 13 to create accounts. Athlete profiles sourced from public recruiting databases may include high-school players who are under 18; those pages do not collect any data from the athlete unless the athlete (or a parent/guardian) creates an account and claims the profile. Parents may request removal or correction of any profile involving a minor through the profile removal request or by emailing privacy@offsznnetwork.com.

13. Changes

We will update this policy as the site grows or when required by law. The “Last updated” date above always reflects the current version. Material changes will be announced via email to registered users at least 14 days before they take effect.
