Effective date: April 16, 2026 | Last updated: April 16, 2026
1. Who We Are
LineupOS is a web-based lineup management tool for youth baseball and softball coaches, operated from Minneapolis, Minnesota. When this policy says "we," "us," or "our," it refers to LineupOS and its operators.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information (from coaches)
When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address
- Password (stored securely via Firebase Authentication — we never see or store your plaintext password)
Player Information (entered by coaches)
Coaches enter limited information about their players to build lineups:
- First name and last name (last name is optional)
- Jersey number
- Position assignments per game
- Pitch counts and pitching history
We do not collect dates of birth, home addresses, phone numbers, photos, school information, or any biometric data about players. We collect the minimum information necessary for lineup management.
Automatically Collected Information
We use Google Analytics to understand how the Service is used in aggregate. This may collect:
- Pages visited and feature usage patterns
- Browser type and device type
- General geographic region (city-level, not precise location)
- Referring website
Google Analytics data is aggregated and not linked to individual player records. We do not use Google Analytics to track or profile children.
Screenshot Import (OCR)
LineupOS offers an optional feature to import roster data from screenshots. When you use this feature, the image is processed entirely on your device using client-side OCR technology (Tesseract.js). The screenshot is never uploaded to our servers or any third-party service.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely to:
- Provide and operate the Service (roster management, lineup building, pitch count tracking)
- Authenticate your account and sync your data across devices
- Enforce pitching rules and flag ineligible pitchers
- Send important Service-related communications (e.g., password resets, material Terms changes)
- Understand usage patterns to improve the Service
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We do not serve ads. We do not use player data for any purpose other than providing the Service to the coach who entered it.
4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Here is how:
LineupOS is not directed to children
The Service is designed for and marketed to adult coaches, team managers, and league administrators. Only adults (age 18+) may create accounts. Children do not access, interact with, or create accounts on LineupOS.
Limited data collected about children
The only information about child players stored in LineupOS is what the coach enters: first name, optional last name, jersey number, position assignments, and pitch counts. We do not collect contact information, photos, precise location, or persistent identifiers from or about children.
Coach acts with parental authority
Coaches who enter player data into LineupOS represent that they have obtained consent from the player's parent or legal guardian, consistent with how youth sports organizations typically authorize coaches to manage team rosters. This follows the approach recognized by the FTC for youth sports platforms where the coach or organization acts as an intermediary with parental authorization.
Parental rights
Parents and legal guardians have the right to:
- Request a description of the types of information collected about their child
- Request to review any specific information we hold about their child
- Request deletion of their child's information
- Refuse further collection or use of their child's information
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at jayredbee21@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may ask for verification of your identity and your relationship to the child.
If a parent withdraws consent, the coach will be required to remove the child's data from their roster. If the coach does not act, we will delete the data upon the parent's verified request.
5. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase / Firestore, hosted on Google Cloud Platform infrastructure in the United States. Firebase provides:
- Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and encryption at rest
- Access controls requiring authenticated requests
- SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified infrastructure
While no system is 100% secure, we take reasonable measures to protect your data and follow industry-standard practices. We limit access to personal data to only those who need it to operate the Service.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your account data and associated roster data for as long as your account is active. You may export your data at any time using the backup feature. If you delete your account or request deletion, we will remove your data from active systems within 30 days. Backup copies may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days before being purged.
7. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
We do not use advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or any third-party services that would collect or profile children's data. We do not share player data with any third party.
8. Cookies and Local Storage
LineupOS uses cookies set by Firebase for authentication purposes only. Google Analytics sets cookies for aggregated usage tracking. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Export your data in a portable format
- Object to certain processing of your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact jayredbee21@gmail.com.
10. State-Specific Disclosures
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information. You may request a copy of or deletion of your data by contacting us at the email above.
If you are a resident of another U.S. state with consumer privacy legislation (e.g., Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota), you may have similar rights. Contact us and we will honor applicable requests regardless of your state.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes — particularly any changes affecting how we handle children's data — we will notify you by email and update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
