1. Introduction
GHP Labs LLC ("GHP Labs," "we," "us," or "our") operates Coach Fred (the "Service"), which includes the Coach Fred iOS application, the coachfred.app web dashboard, and related backend services. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have regarding your data.

We do not currently use third-party analytics, advertising trackers, or device-level tracking identifiers (IDFA).

If GHP Labs is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such transfer and any resulting changes to this Policy.
4.5 No Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information or your players' personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. This is true under the CCPA/CPRA definitions of "sell" and "share."
5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account remains active.

|---|---|
| Account, team, player, game, and voiceover data | For as long as your account is active |

To request account deletion, email us at [email protected] from the address associated with your account. We will remove your account and team data — including player records and generated voiceover audio — promptly (typically within 7 days), without an extended retention window. Some residual copies may remain in encrypted backups for a limited period before they are overwritten in the normal course of backup rotation; we do not access or restore from those backups except for disaster recovery.
We may retain anonymized or aggregated information (which cannot be used to identify you or your players) indefinitely for product analytics and improvement.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including:
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) for all communications between the app, web dashboard, and our backend
- Encryption at rest for stored data via our backend providers
- Access controls restricting employee and contractor access on a need-to-know basis
- Authentication including OAuth-based sign-in (Google, Apple) and email/password with hashed credentials
- Audit logging of administrative actions on the backend
- Regular review of dependencies and security advisories
No system is perfectly secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. If we become aware of a security incident affecting your information, we will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.

International transfers. GHP Labs is based in the United States. Your information is processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and equivalent UK/Swiss safeguards for international transfers.
9. Children's Privacy
Coach Fred is intended for adult coaches and is not directed to children.
You must be at least 13 years old to create a Coach Fred account. If you are between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.
Coach Fred is designed for the adult coaches of youth-sports teams. Children (i.e., the players on your team) do not create accounts and do not interact with the Service directly. Information about players is entered into the Service by their adult coach.
Coach responsibilities regarding player information. As a coach, when you enter information about a child player into Coach Fred (such as a name, nickname, jersey number, or walk-up song), you represent that you have obtained any consent required under applicable law from the player's parent or legal guardian. You are responsible for ensuring that your collection and use of player information complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), state laws (e.g., California's Student Online Personal Information Protection Act, where applicable), and any rules established by your league or organization.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently received information directly from a child under 13 — for example, if a child created an account in violation of these terms — we will delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has provided information directly to us, contact us at [email protected].
10. International Data Transfers
GHP Labs is based in the United States. By using the Service, you understand that your information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.
For users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we use Standard Contractual Clauses and equivalent safeguards as the legal basis for these transfers.
11. Third-Party Services and Music Playback
Coach Fred allows you to select and play walk-up songs using your own Apple Music subscription (or other supported music services). When you use these features:
- We send the track ID of the song you select to Apple's MusicKit service to retrieve metadata and enable playback.
- Playback occurs through your own Apple Music subscription — we do not provide music to you, and we do not store or distribute musical recordings.
- Your interactions with Apple Music are governed by Apple's privacy policy and the Apple Music terms of service.
You are responsible for complying with the terms of any third-party music services you use through Coach Fred and for any public-performance, synchronization, or other licenses required to play music in your venue. See our Terms of Service for details.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy
- Post the revised Policy at coachfred.app/privacy and within the iOS app
- For material changes, notify you by email or through an in-app notice before the changes take effect
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Policy constitutes acceptance.
