Effective Date: September 1, 2026 | Last Updated: September 1, 2026

Unified Athletes | Colorado, USA | Legal Contact: info@UnifiedAthletics.com

This Privacy Policy explains how Unified Athletes collects, uses, discloses, retains, protects, and otherwise processes personal information when individuals access or use our websites, applications, athlete services, educational programs, mentorship programs, NIL-related tools, media services, events, communications, and other online or offline offerings that link to this Policy. It also describes privacy choices and rights that may apply under law.

This Policy is written to provide a broad operating framework for a platform that may serve athletes, parents and guardians, mentors, coaches, schools, universities, sponsors, brands, service providers, interns, partners, and other community participants. Some features may be governed by additional notices or consents presented at the point of collection.

1. Scope and Our Role

This Policy applies to personal information processed by Unified Athletes in connection with services that reference this Policy. It does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, services, or organizations that maintain separate privacy practices, even when we link to or integrate with them.

Depending on the context, Unified Athletes may act as a business or controller that determines the purposes and means of processing, or as a service provider or processor acting on instructions from a school, university, sponsor, employer, or other customer. Where we act solely as a processor, the customer organization may be responsible for responding to individual privacy rights requests.

2. Personal Information We May Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Identity and profile information, including name, username, date of birth or age range, profile photograph, biography, sport, position, school, team, graduation year, athletic history, interests, and demographic information you choose to provide.
  • Contact information, including email address, telephone number, mailing address, emergency contact information, and parent or guardian contact information when applicable.

  • Financial and transaction information, including billing address, transaction history, commission records, payout details, tax documentation, bank or payment account tokens, and related information. Payment card information may be processed directly by third-party payment processors rather than stored by us.
  • Content and communications, including messages, comments, posts, photographs, video, audio, documents, survey responses, support requests, contest entries, application materials, and other content you submit or make available.
  • Event, travel, safety, and program information when needed to administer events, camps, mentorship, community programs, or other services.
  • Consent, preference, and authorization records, including marketing preferences, cookie choices, parental permissions, releases, waivers, intellectual property permissions, and privacy request records.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Device and network data, including IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, language, time zone, mobile carrier, and approximate location derived from IP address.
  • Usage and interaction data, including pages viewed, features used, searches, clicks, session duration, referring pages, navigation paths, and interaction with emails or advertisements.
  • Cookie, pixel, SDK, local storage, and similar technology data used for authentication, preferences, analytics, security, measurement, personalization, and advertising where permitted.
  • Security and diagnostic data, including logs, error reports, access events, fraud indicators, and information used to protect accounts and systems.

2.3 Information From Other Sources

  • Schools, universities, teams, leagues, coaches, mentors, program administrators, sponsors, brands, employers, service providers, and other partners authorized to provide information.
  • Publicly available sources, sports statistics and media sources, professional networking sites, social networks, news sources, and public records where collection and use are permitted by law and platform terms.
  • Identity verification, age assurance, fraud prevention, payment, analytics, marketing, CRM, hosting, communications, and other technology providers.
  • Other users who invite you, refer you, tag you, submit team or roster information, or otherwise interact with you through the services.

3. Sensitive Personal Information

Certain information may be considered sensitive under applicable law, such as precise geolocation, government identifiers, account credentials, financial information, information about a child, health-related information, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, biometric identifiers, or contents of certain private communications. We seek to collect sensitive information only when reasonably necessary for a specific service, legal requirement, safety purpose, or transaction, and we apply additional controls where required.

We do not request that users place highly sensitive information in public profiles or public posts. Users should not upload medical records, government identification documents, financial credentials, or similar information to public areas of the services.

4. How We Use Personal Information

  • Provide, operate, maintain, personalize, and improve the services and user experience.
  • Create and administer accounts, athlete profiles, portfolios, media kits, training records, mentorship relationships, community programs, and program participation.
  • Facilitate athlete discovery, sponsorship, NIL, educational, recruiting, media, employment, mentorship, and business opportunities, subject to applicable settings, permissions, laws, and contracts.
  • Process transactions, subscriptions, fees, commissions, reimbursements, payouts, and related accounting, tax, and audit records.
  • Communicate about accounts, programs, opportunities, events, updates, security, policy changes, customer support, and administrative matters.
  • Send marketing, promotional, fundraising, sponsor, or partner communications where permitted, and honor opt-out choices.
  • Perform analytics, research, product development, service measurement, forecasting, and business planning, including use of aggregated or deidentified information.
  • Detect, investigate, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, harassment, unauthorized access, security incidents, legal violations, and threats to safety or integrity.
  • Enforce agreements, policies, eligibility requirements, community standards, intellectual property rights, and other legal rights.
  • Comply with law, legal process, regulatory requests, tax obligations, recordkeeping requirements, and lawful government requests.
  • Carry out other purposes disclosed at collection or with consent.

5. Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and Profiling

Unified Athletes may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, recommendation systems, or automated tools to assist with content organization, matching, personalization, search, fraud detection, analytics, support, eligibility workflows, opportunity recommendations, marketing, or administrative functions. These systems may process profile, activity, preference, performance, or engagement data depending on the feature.

Where applicable law provides rights concerning automated decision-making, profiling, or significant decisions, we will provide required notices, choices, explanations, or appeal processes. We do not intend to rely solely on automated processing to make legally significant decisions about a person where prohibited by law.

6. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary and permitted by law:

  • Service providers and processors supporting hosting, cloud infrastructure, analytics, identity or age verification, security, communications, CRM, customer service, payment processing, document management, marketing, advertising, and professional services.
  • Schools, universities, teams, leagues, coaches, mentors, sponsors, brands, agencies, media partners, employers, recruiters, nonprofit organizations, and program partners when the disclosure is part of a service, opportunity, program, or user-authorized interaction.
  • Other users and the public when information is posted to public or shared profile areas, public leaderboards, media pages, community areas, or other features designed for visibility.
  • Professional advisors, auditors, insurers, accountants, attorneys, lenders, investors, and transaction counterparties subject to appropriate confidentiality or legal obligations.
  • Government agencies, regulators, courts, law enforcement, or other parties when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law, legal process, safety concerns, fraud prevention, or protection of rights.
  • A buyer, successor, lender, investor, or other relevant party in connection with an actual or proposed merger, financing, acquisition, sale, restructuring, bankruptcy, or transfer of all or part of our business or assets.

7. Sale, Sharing, Targeted Advertising, and Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising

Some privacy laws define sale or sharing broadly enough to include certain advertising technology disclosures, even when no money changes hands. If Unified Athletes engages in activity that constitutes a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, we will provide legally required notices and opt-out mechanisms, including recognition of qualifying opt-out preference signals where required.

We do not knowingly sell personal information of children or minors in circumstances prohibited by law. Additional consent requirements may apply before using or disclosing information from minors for targeted advertising or other secondary purposes.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. Depending on implementation, users may be able to manage non-essential technologies through a consent banner or preference center. Browser settings may also permit users to block or delete cookies, although some features may not function properly without essential technologies.

9. Children and Minors

9.1 Children Under 13

Unified Athletes may offer programs that involve youth athletes. Where a service is directed to children under 13 or we have actual knowledge that we are collecting personal information from a child under 13, we will seek to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and other applicable children's privacy laws. This may include providing direct notice to a parent or guardian, obtaining verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information, limiting collection to what is reasonably necessary, providing parental access and deletion rights, applying reasonable security, and maintaining an appropriate retention and deletion schedule.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 was collected in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise remediate the information.

9.2 Teen Users and Minor Athletes

Users under the age of majority may require parent or guardian involvement for certain contracts, NIL opportunities, payments, releases, publicity rights, travel, contests, educational programs, or other activities. We may require age information or age assurance to determine appropriate experiences and permissions. We may restrict targeted advertising, profiling, sale or sharing of data, or other processing involving minors where required by law.

9.3 Parent and Guardian Requests

Parents or legal guardians may contact info@UnifiedAthletics.com regarding a child's account or information. We may need to verify the requester's identity and authority before granting access, correction, deletion, consent withdrawal, or other requests.

10. Student and Education Data

If Unified Athletes processes student information on behalf of a school or educational institution, additional contractual and legal requirements may apply. We will handle education-related data according to applicable agreements and laws. Users should not assume that all information submitted to Unified Athletes is an education record or otherwise protected under education-specific laws unless the relevant conditions are satisfied.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information for no longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including account administration, program operations, transaction records, legal compliance, dispute resolution, safety, fraud prevention, security, and enforcement. Retention periods may vary by data category, relationship, legal obligation, and operational need.

We may retain deidentified or aggregated information for analytics and business purposes where permitted. For children's personal information, we will apply retention limits required by applicable law and will not retain such information indefinitely solely because it may be useful in the future.

12. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Measures may include access controls, authentication, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, backups, vendor controls, incident response, and workforce policies. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials and for promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized access.

13. Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on residence and applicable law, individuals may have rights to request access to or confirmation of personal information, obtain a portable copy, correct inaccurate information, delete information, opt out of sale or sharing, opt out of targeted advertising, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, opt out of qualifying profiling or automated decision-making, withdraw consent, appeal a denied request, or receive information about certain disclosures.

To submit a privacy request, contact info@UnifiedAthletics.com and identify the request and state of residence. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity, authority, and scope. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, subject to verification requirements. We will not unlawfully discriminate against individuals for exercising privacy rights.

13.1 Colorado Residents

Colorado residents may have rights under the Colorado Privacy Act, subject to statutory applicability, exemptions, and exceptions. These may include rights to access, correction, deletion, portability, opt out of certain processing for targeted advertising, sale, or qualifying profiling, and appeal certain denials. Colorado law also includes heightened protections for minors and sensitive data in specified circumstances.

13.2 California Residents

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, if and to the extent the law applies to Unified Athletes or the relevant processing. These may include rights to know, access, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, receive information regarding applicable automated decision-making practices, and exercise other rights established by law and regulation. Required California notices may be provided in this Policy, at collection, or through dedicated links or preference tools.

13.3 Other U.S. States

Residents of other states may have similar privacy rights under state consumer privacy laws. We will process eligible requests consistent with applicable law, including applicable authentication, timing, appeal, and exemption requirements.

14. Marketing Communications

You may opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe mechanism in the message or by contacting us. Even after opting out of marketing, we may continue sending non-promotional communications regarding accounts, transactions, security, legal notices, or active programs.

15. International Users and Cross-Border Processing

Unified Athletes is based in the United States. If you access the services from outside the United States, personal information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we will use lawful transfer mechanisms or contractual safeguards. International users may have additional rights under local law, and region-specific notices may be provided when necessary.

16. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The services may link to or integrate with third-party websites, social networks, payment processors, learning systems, identity services, recruiting services, media platforms, advertising providers, or other third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage users to review those policies before providing information.

17. Do Not Track and Preference Signals

Some browsers transmit Do Not Track signals. Because no uniform standard applies to all such signals, our response may vary. Where applicable law requires recognition of qualifying universal opt-out mechanisms or opt-out preference signals, we will process supported signals as required.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy periodically to reflect changes in services, technology, legal requirements, or business practices. We will post the updated version with a revised Last Updated date and provide additional notice when required by law. Material changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise permitted or required.

19. Additional Notices

Certain programs, competitions, research activities, school partnerships, sponsorship programs, financial services, age-verification processes, or other specialized services may include supplemental privacy notices or consent forms. If a supplemental notice conflicts with this Policy for a specific service, the supplemental notice controls for that service to the extent of the conflict.
