Privacy Policy

Parent Sideline is a free, no-account-required tool. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the site.

We may collect limited, non-identifying information automatically when you visit — such as browser type, device type, pages viewed, and general geographic region (country/state). This is standard web analytics data collected through Google Analytics.

If you contact us via email, we receive the information you include in your message (name, email address, and message content). We use this only to respond to you.

Analytics data is used solely to understand how the site is used — which sports are most popular, which pages perform well, and where we can improve the experience.

Contact information is used only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to marketing lists or share your contact details with third parties.

We do not sell, rent, or trade any information about our visitors.

We use Google Analytics, which places a cookie on your device to track anonymous usage patterns. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or any tracking technology beyond basic analytics.

Our equipment guides link to third-party retailers (Amazon, Dick's Sporting Goods, Walmart, Target, and others). When you click these links and make a purchase, the retailer's own privacy policy applies.

We may participate in affiliate programs, meaning we may earn a small commission if you purchase through our links — at no extra cost to you. This does not affect our recommendations.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any linked third-party sites.

Parent Sideline is designed for parents and guardians of youth athletes. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at hello@parentsideline.com and we will promptly delete it.

We take reasonable measures to protect any information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Because we collect minimal data and do not store personal accounts or payment information, the risk exposure for our visitors is low.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Continued use of Parent Sideline after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, please contact us at hello@parentsideline.com.
