Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Analytics207 is a sports analytics platform covering Maine high school athletics. We are operated by a small independent team based in Maine. We are the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide on this site.

2. What We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account information. Email address, password (stored as a salted hash), display name, and any optional profile fields you choose to fill in.
• Subscription and billing. If you subscribe to All Access, a PCI compliant third party payment processor handles your card details. We never see or store your full card number. We do receive a customer ID, the last four digits of your card, your subscription status, and your billing email.
• Contributor profile content. If you apply to contribute, we store the bio, avatar, cover image, school affiliation, social handles, and any galleries or articles you publish.
• User generated content. Comments, fan score reports, photo uploads, and any text you submit through forms on the site.
• Usage and device data. IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL, device type, and timestamps. Used for security, debugging, and aggregate analytics.
• Cookies and similar technologies. See section 7.

3. Public Athlete Data

Analytics207 publishes statistics, results, and rankings for Maine high school athletes. Athletes are identified by name, school, grade level, and event participation only. We do not publish home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, or any contact information for athletes.

If you are an athlete, parent, or guardian and you would like an athlete profile removed from public ranking pages, contact us at admin@analytics207.com with the athlete name, school, and graduation year. We will respond within 14 days.

4. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and operate the service, including creating and managing accounts, processing subscriptions, and delivering content.
• To send transactional email such as account confirmations, password resets, billing receipts, and service notifications.
• To send optional newsletters and weekly recaps if you opt in. You can opt out from any newsletter using the unsubscribe link in the footer.
• To respond to your support requests and feedback.
• To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms of Service.
• To improve the service through aggregated usage analytics that do not identify individual users.
• To comply with legal obligations.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the following categories of recipients, and only as needed to operate the service:

• Service providers. We use third party providers for hosting, database and authentication, payment processing, transactional and broadcast email, and aggregate usage measurement. Each provider is contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the services we have engaged them for.
• Legal authorities. When required by valid legal process, court order, or to protect the safety of users, the public, or our company.
• Business transfer. If Analytics207 is ever acquired, sold, or merged, your information may transfer to the successor entity, who will be bound by this policy or one substantially similar.

6. Children and Minors

Analytics207 is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a child under 13 has created an account, email admin@analytics207.com and we will delete the account and any associated information.

Athlete data published on ranking pages may relate to athletes under 18. As described in section 3, that data contains only the athlete name, school, grade, event, and performance. Removal requests by athletes, parents, or guardians are honored within 14 days.

7. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies for authentication (so you stay logged in) and to remember your preferences (sport selection, dark mode, etc.). We use a third party analytics tool to measure aggregate site usage. That tool may set its own cookies and may receive your IP address. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; if you do, some parts of the site (especially the logged in experience) will not work.

8. Data Security

We use industry standard practices to protect your information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), encryption at rest for the database, salted password hashing, and restricted administrative access. No system is perfectly secure. If we discover a breach affecting your data, we will notify you and any required authorities in line with applicable law.

9. Data Retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal information is removed within 30 days, with limited exceptions for billing records (kept for 7 years for tax and audit purposes) and aggregated analytics (which do not identify you).

10. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Receive a portable copy of your data.
• Opt out of marketing email.

To exercise any of these rights, email admin@analytics207.com. We will verify your identity and respond within 30 days. We will not retaliate against you for exercising any of these rights.

11. International Users

Analytics207 is operated from the United States. If you access the site from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US, which may have different data protection laws than your country.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of the page reflects the most recent version. For material changes that affect your rights, we will notify you by email or by a notice on the site before the changes take effect.
