Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what data Sideline Scout collects, how we use it, and what choices you have. We keep it straightforward because no one wants to read a novel-length privacy policy.

What we collect

• Account info:When you sign up, we collect your name and email address through our authentication provider (Clerk). This lets you contribute to the community and track your contributions.
• Location:With your permission, we use your device’s location to show nearby venues. We never track your location in the background or store location history.
• Contributions:Any ratings, reviews, photos, and tips you share are stored so they can be displayed to other users. Your contributions are associated with your account.
• Usage data:We collect basic analytics (pages visited, features used) to improve the app. This data is aggregated and not tied to your identity.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services to run Sideline Scout:

• Clerk — authentication and account management
• Supabase — database and data storage
• Mapbox — interactive maps
• Google Places — venue data and search
• Vercel — hosting and analytics

Each of these services has their own privacy policies. We only share the minimum data necessary for each service to function.

What we don’t do

• We never sell your personal data to anyone.
• We don’t use your data for targeted advertising.
• We don’t share your information with data brokers.
