Introduction
Squadora ("we", "our", "us") operates the squadora.com website and the Squadora mobile application (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, including club administrators, coaches, players, parents, and guardians. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Data Collection
We collect several types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service:
Personal Data: When you register an account, we may ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information including but not limited to: name, email address, phone number, date of birth, profile photo, and mailing address.
Club Data: Information related to your sports club, including club name, location, team rosters, player statistics, match results, schedules, and financial records.
Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how the Service is accessed and used, including your device's IP address, browser type, pages visited, time and date of visit, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data.

Payment Data: When processing payments through our platform, payment information is handled by our third-party payment processor (Stripe). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers. When a club collects a payment, the club is the merchant of record and Squadora acts only as a technology and payment-facilitation provider, as described in our Terms of Service. We retain transaction records, logs, and consents in the ordinary course of business, and you agree these records may be used as authoritative evidence in any dispute, subject to applicable law.
