Playtime Schools Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 21, 2026
1. Who we are
Start Project, LLC (DBA Playtime Sports) (“Playtime,” “we,” “us”) operates Playtime Schools — school sports hubs at schools.playtime.net, the “School Sports” mobile apps, and school-branded editions (for example, “Tam Sports”).
Address: 35 Miller Ave #299, Mill Valley, CA 94941
Contact: info@playtime.net
Roles.Each school hub is published by that school's community organization (booster club or athletics program) under an agreement with us. For content the school publishes — schedules, results, photos, awards — the school community is the publisher and Playtime processes the data to operate the platform on its behalf.
2. Information we collect
- Nothing to browse. Reading a school hub requires no account. We do not collect names, emails, or profiles from viewers.
- Device and log data. IP address, device/browser type, and request timestamps in server logs, for security and debugging. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking.
- Push notification tokens. If you enable notifications in a native app, we store an anonymous device token, your chosen school, and your favorited teams so we can send the notifications you asked for. The token is not tied to your name or email.
- Community submissions. If you submit a score or photo, we collect what you submit, optionally a name you provide with it, and standard request metadata.
- Administrator accounts. School administrators sign in with an email address; we store their name, email, role, and school.
3. Content about student-athletes
School hubs cover high-school sports, so hub content includes information about students: names in schedules, results, highlights, awards, and alumni updates; and photos and video from games. This content is published by or under the review of the school's administrators, who are responsible for having the authority and any parental consents required to publish it.
Parents/guardians:to have a photo or detail about your child removed, contact your school's administrators through the app or email info@playtime.net — verified requests are honored promptly.
4. Children's data (COPPA)
Playtime Schools does not offer accounts to children, does not collect personal information from viewers, and directs its interactive features (submissions, administration) to adults and users 13+. Information about minors that appears in hub content is provided by the school community as described in Section 3, not collected from the children themselves. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information directly to us, contact info@playtime.net and we will delete it promptly.
5. How we use information
- Operate and improve the school hubs.
- Deliver the push notifications you enabled.
- Review and publish community submissions through school moderation.
- Secure the service and prevent abuse.
- Aggregate, de-identified usage counts (for example, an active-member count per school).
6. Sharing and subprocessors
We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share data only with the service providers needed to operate the platform, each bound by a data processing agreement:
- Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage (U.S., West region).
- Vercel — web hosting and request logs (U.S.).
- Resend — transactional email delivery (administrator and onboarding mail).
- Stripe — payment processing for school subscriptions (schools only; viewers never pay us).
- Expo / Apple / Google — push notification delivery to your device.
- Anthropic— when a school administrator pastes schedule or roster text for automatic parsing, that text is sent to Anthropic's Claude API solely to return the parsed result; it is not used to train models.
We may also disclose data when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
7. Public-source data
Schedules, scores, and news in a hub may be assembled from public sources (state athletic associations, MaxPreps, news feeds) alongside the school's own entries. Alumni updates draw on publicly available information (for example, college team rosters) curated by the school's administrators.
8. Data location
Our database and hosting are in the United States. If you use the service from outside the U.S., your information is processed in the U.S.; where required, transfers rely on our providers' Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.
9. Retention and security
Log data is retained briefly for security and debugging. Push tokens are retained while notifications are enabled. Hub content is retained while the school's hub is active or as needed for legal purposes. We use encryption, access controls, row-level security, and monitoring, though no system is perfectly secure.
10. Your rights
- Disable push notifications any time in your device settings.
- Ask for removal of content about you or your child (Section 3).
- Email info@playtime.net for access, correction, portability, or deletion of any personal data we hold.
- California residents may exercise CCPA/CPRA rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
11. Cookies and tracking
The web apps use only strictly necessary, first-party storage (for example, remembering your chosen school and an administrator's session). No advertising, marketing, or third-party analytics cookies.
12. Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be posted with an updated “last updated” date. Continued use means you accept the revised policy.
