Privacy Policy

• Account information — your name and email address when you create a club app account.
• Player information — provided by a parent or guardian during registration: player name, birth year, gender, practice jersey size, emergency contact, and any medical notes you choose to share.
• Club activity — team rosters, schedules, RSVPs, attendance, training-homework logs, evaluation scores, and development targets.
• Messages — messages sent through the club app between families, coaches, and staff.
• Payment records — fee amounts, due dates, and payment status. Card payments are processed by Stripe; Soda City FC never sees or stores your card number.
• Device notifications — if you enable push notifications, we store the anonymous subscription your browser or phone provides.

Solely to run the club: managing rosters and schedules, communicating with families, tracking fees and payments, supporting player development, and keeping players safe. We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not share it with anyone outside the club except the service providers who run the app on our behalf (hosting, database, email delivery, and payment processing), each of which only receives what it needs to do its job.

Player profiles for minors are created and controlled by a parent or guardian. Children do not create their own accounts. Medical notes are visible only to club staff and coaches who need them for player safety. A parent or guardian can ask us to correct or delete their child's information at any time.

All in-app communications are accessible to club administration. This is a deliberate child-safety measure consistent with U.S. Soccer safeguarding (SafeSport) expectations: no adult in our club can have private, unmonitored digital communication with a minor through the app. This is disclosed in the app wherever messaging appears.

Data is stored with our hosting and database providers (Vercel and Neon) in the United States, protected by encryption in transit and at rest. Emails are sent through Resend; payments are processed by Stripe.

• Push notifications are opt-in and can be turned off any time in the app.
• You can request a copy, correction, or deletion of your family's information by emailing support@sodacityfc.app. We'll respond within 30 days.

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll notify club families through the app or by email before the change takes effect.
