We are committed to your privacy.
At Teamwatch, we take your privacy very seriously and we have taken every measure so you rest assured your information and your experience at Teamwatch stays safe and private. This is why we have updated our Privacy Policy to reflect our commitment with your privacy as well as with common regulation in this matter, like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA, referred to in our Terms of Service) as well as the Student Privacy Pledge.
Like many other services on the internet, Teamwatch needs to collect some information from our users and their usage, to be able to provide you with the high quality experience you expect from us – rest assured, we will make every reasonable effort to insure that our service is secure and private in accordance with our promise of service and our policies . The information we collect (whether through our own means or through third parties, as explained below) can be in the form of:
1) Personal information you submit while creating an account with Teamwatch or while using our service;
2) Automatically collected information; and,
3) Information from other sources.
We need some information to provide you with the best experience possible, and we will make every reasonable effort to keep that information private and secure. There are three types of information we collect: Personal information you submit; automatically collected information; and, information from other sources.
We collect personal information when you register through any of our platforms: website, mobile, or tablet applications (collectively, our “Apps”). Personal information is any information about you that is personally identifiable, such as your name, address, email address or phone number, third-party sign-in information (e.g. Facebook Connect, if applicable), and any other information that is not otherwise publicly available. In addition, if you send email invitations to friends or family to join your Teamwatch network, those email addresses are, in some instances, also collected. In addition, there is other information that is stored in our service when either parents or coaches use our apps, including but not limited to: School and class information, including name and address, the student(s) name(s) or age, as well as the information sent over the service, including messages, announcements, images, events and other.
We collect the information you submit while registering for a Teamwatch account or through its use, including your school information, posts and messages sent through Teamwatch.
When you use any of our services and apps (web, mobile or other, including when you open our email notifications) we, or our authorized third party service providers (explained below), may also collect information relating to your devices, including your device model, operating system, browser type, unique device identifier, IP address, mobile phone number, mobile network carrier, location, and event information (such as application installations). We may also automatically record certain information from your web browser by using different types of technology, including “clear gifs” or “web beacons.” This “automatically collected” information may include your IP address or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or just after the Service, the pages you view on the Service, and the dates and times that you visit, access, or use the Service. This information is gathered for all users.
We collect information using our own or third party technology (including cookies) to provide you with the best experience possible.
We may also obtain information, including personally identifiable information, from third parties and sources other than the Service, such as our partners or other service providers, according to their own policies and terms of use. We may also, at your direction, receive information from third party services that provide a mechanism to expose information you have provided to such third parties through the use of an application program interface (API), such as Facebook Connect or the Twitter API. If we combine or associate information from other sources with personally identifiable information that we collect through the Service, we will treat the combined information as personally identifiable information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may use other sources (third party) to complement the information you provide and better serve your needs.
We use cookies (pixel tags, and/or other similar technologies) to collect visitor information. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we send to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits. Like many services, we use these technologies to tailor the Service for you, and to help the Service work better for you – for example, for authentication, security and site integrity, localization, performance analytics, and other features and services. It is possible to delete cookies or prevent cookies from being used in your browser by turning the feature off. If you do so, you may not be able to use features of our service to their full.
We offer a range of features that use technologies like cookies, pixel tags (“pixels”), device or other identifiers and local storage to provide a seamless and safe experience.
If at any point a user of Teamwatch would like to request their account, profile or data associated with their account be deleted from our platform you can send an email at [email protected] requesting that such data be deleted from the app. All data deleted from Teamwatch will be permanently deleted and will not recoverable once removed.
We use your information for the following general purposes: to operate, maintain, and improve our services, to contact you, for internal business purposes, and to customize any advertising and content you see in our apps. We use third party information you provide to us solely to provide services you specifically request.
We will also use all of the information that you provide and that we collect to understand and analyze the usages trends and preferences of our users, to improve our product, and to create new features and functionality. We may use your information to personalize our services, such as remembering your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Apps; provide customized advertisements and offer you other relevant products, content, and information; monitor and analyze the effectiveness of our services and third party marketing activities; monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed; and track your entries, submissions, and status in any promotions or other activities.
We will never use students’ personally identifiable information, or collect, use, or share such information for any purposes beyond the authorized educational or school purposes, or as explicitly authorized by the student or parent. We will never target advertisements to students or sell students’ personally identifiable information to third parties for any purpose.
Our Apps are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. In fact, they are intended for coach-parent communication. As part of that process, a coach may request an individual student to input content that was created by that student, however, in no circumstance does that input become part of the student’s profile without coach approval. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information via this site from visitors under the age of 13, other than as previously stated. If we learn that personally identifiable information has been collected on the Service from persons under the age of 13 and without verifiable parental or coach consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.
We do not collect information from children under 13.
The COPPA Rule was put in place to protect kids’ personal information on websites and online services — including apps — that are directed to children under 13. The Rule also applies to a general audience site that knows it’s collecting personal information from kids that age. Because Teamwatch doesn’t collect information from children under 13, other than as previously stated, and any information related to students in Teamwatch is knowingly entered by parents or by team managers with permission of the parents, Teamwatch is COPPA compliant.
If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under the age of 13 has obtained an account on the Service, please alert us immediately
We use certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards that are designed to improve the integrity and security of your information. As is the case with other online services, however, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Apps and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If we learn of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may post a notice through the Apps if a security breach occurs.
We take serious efforts to protect your information and the data in our service. As with any other online service, it is important you take personal measures to protect your information (like safeguarding your password).
Similarly, although we may allow you to adjust your privacy settings to limit access to your information, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you may choose to share your information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that information you post on the Apps will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of information that you have posted may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored such information.
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting updates on this page. Please check back periodically to view any updates. In the event that the modifications materially alter your rights or obligations hereunder, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the change via email, if we have one on file, or generate a pop-up or similar notification when you access the Apps for the first time after such material changes are made. Our amended Privacy Policy will automatically take effect 30 days after it is made available through the Apps. If you do not agree with any changes to the Privacy Policy, you may terminate your account and stop using the Apps. Your continued use of the Apps after the revised Privacy Policy has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of the Privacy Policy.
