Privacy policy

Effective November 14, 2026

HomeTeam Recruiting helps athletes and their families find college teams and keep track of their own recruiting. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it. The short version: we keep only what the app needs to work, we never sell it, and we never send anything to coaches or colleges for you.

What we collect

Using the finder without an account

You can search colleges and open every official team link without signing up. Colleges you save are kept in your own browser (local storage), not on our servers.

When you create an account

When you buy the Season Pass

Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach us. We keep only Stripe's customer and subscription numbers, whether your pass is active, and when it renews or ends.

Technical information

How we use it

We email you only sign-in codes and messages about your account. Stripe emails your receipts. We don't send newsletters unless you ask for them. We email an athlete, or another parent or guardian, only when someone in their household sends them an invite to sign in; that email goes to the address entered, and they can ignore it.

What we never do

Who else handles it

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our users or the service.

Sharing with a coach

A high school or club coach can send your family a join link for their team. Nothing is shared unless a parent, guardian or the athlete (13 or older) signs in and chooses to share. You choose which athlete; a signed-in athlete can share only themselves.

For each athlete you share, the coach sees their first name, the colleges on their list with each college's stage (such as Researching or Visited), how many recruiting steps are done and the date of the last one. The coach never sees your notes, your dates, your email addresses or anything else in your account.

You can stop sharing any time in Account, and the coach can remove an athlete from the team. A coach who buys seats can give your household a Season Pass while you share with one of their teams; it ends if the coach takes the seat back, sharing ends, or the coach's seats aren't renewed.

Your calendar link

If you turn on calendar sync, we make a private web address that your calendar app reads. Anyone with that address can see the college names and dates in it, so share it only with family. You can make a new link (the old one stops working) or turn it off at any time.

Athletes and age

You must be 13 or older to create an account. For athletes under 13, a parent or guardian creates the account and can use their own email address for the athlete. We don't knowingly collect information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 signed up on their own, contact us and we'll delete the account.

Keeping and deleting your information

Your account information stays until you delete it. You can edit or remove athletes in the app, and delete your whole account from Account → Delete my account and saved data. That removes your account, your household's athletes, lists, recruiting steps and notes, and cancels any Season Pass renewal. Stripe keeps payment records as the law requires.

You can also use our contact form to ask for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete it.

Security

Connections to the site are encrypted. Sign-in codes, session keys and internet addresses are stored only as hashed values. No system is perfectly secure; if something goes wrong that affects your information, we'll tell you.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll update the date above and tell signed-in users in the app or by email before the change takes effect.
