COPPA & Minor Privacy Framework

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2024 • Explicit compliance with youth athletic privacy standards.

Important Notice Concerning Student-Athletes Under 18:Because the majority of high school recruits utilizing Carltine are minors, we implement specialized safety safeguards in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not publicly index minor contact information or sell minor data to third-party advertisers.

1. Information We Collect

When a student-athlete or their parent/guardian creates an account, we collect:

Physical & Combine Metrics: Height, weight, primary position, verified 40-yard dash, vertical jump, and shuttle times.
Academic Metrics: High school GPA, graduation year, core course coursework, and intended college major.
Athletic Media: Links to publicly hosted highlight reels (e.g. Hudl, YouTube).
Parent/Guardian Contact: For athletes under 18, we require and collect a verified parent/guardian email address.

2. How Information Is Shared

Athlete profiles and highlight reels are searchable solely by authenticated, verified collegiate coaches, recruiting coordinators, and scouting personnel.

Zero Public Harvesting: We do not publish contact phone numbers or personal street addresses on indexable public web pages.

3. Parental Rights & Data Deletion

Parents and legal guardians have the right to review the personal information collected from their minor child, request corrections, or request immediate permanent deletion of their profile at any time by contacting our Trust & Safety department at safety@carltine.com.

4. College Coach Verification Requirements

Individuals registering as college coaches must authenticate using an official higher education institution domain (.edu) and represent an accredited NCAA, NAIA, or NJCAA collegiate athletic department.
