Privacy policy

The short version

• Your video is deleted. A kick’s video goes to our analysis server, is analyzed, and is deleted as soon as the analysis is done. We keep the numbers and the feedback, not the video.
• Parents come first. A parent creates the account. Each child’s profile lives under it, and children never need their own email.
• No messaging, no sharing, no ads. There is no way to message another user, no public video sharing, no advertising and no tracking. We never sell anyone’s information.
• Delete it any time. A parent can delete the whole account in the app, or ask us to delete any part of it, and it’s gone for good.

Who we are

KickWorx is a mobile app for soccer players of every age, built around young players and their parents, made by Conner Watkins in Utah, USA. KickWorx is not a company yet. Until it is filed as its own company, Conner Watkins is the person responsible for KickWorx and for this policy, and “we” and “us” here mean him. When the company exists, this policy will be updated to name it.

Questions about privacy: privacy@getkickworx.com.

What we collect

The parent’s account

• An email address and a password. The password is stored scrambled (hashed) by our database provider; we can’t read it.
• The plan the account is on, and a referral code if one was used.

Each player’s profile

• The player’s name, birth year and, if the parent adds them, last name, positions and gender.
• The birth year sets the player’s soccer age and tells us whether the player is under 13.

Kick results

• For each kick: which kick and which foot, the score out of 10, the estimated shot speed, the measurements the analysis made (such as spin, launch and where the plant foot landed), the feedback text, and the date.
• These build the player’s progress over time.

The tester sign-up on this website

• If you join the December test here, we keep your email and whether you’re a parent or a player aged 13 or older. We use it only to invite you to the test and tell you when the app opens.

What we don’t collect

• We don’t keep any video or pictures of the player after the analysis (see below).
• We don’t use analytics, advertising or tracking tools, in the app or on this website, and we don’t collect your location.

The video: what happens to it

1. The player films a kick. The app sends the video to our analysis server over an encrypted connection.
2. The server measures the kick: the body’s position, the ball’s speed, spin and flight. When a Pro player uses a second phone or tablet from the side, that device’s video is handled the same way.
3. As soon as the analysis is done, the server deletes the video. It keeps no copy.
4. The result includes a few pictures from the video, such as the frame where the foot meets the ball with lines drawn on it. Those pictures wait in the server’s memory until the app collects them, for 10 minutes at most, and are never saved to a disk or database.
5. The player sees the result in the app. When they leave the analysis, the pictures are gone. Only the numbers and the feedback text are saved to the account.

If the player filmed with the phone’s own camera app, the original clip stays in the phone’s photo library. That copy belongs to the family, and we never see it unless it’s picked for an analysis.

Children

KickWorx is built for young players, so it is built around the parent.

• Players under 13 can only use KickWorx through a parent’s account, with their profile under it. They never need their own email address.
• The parent gives consent when they set up the account, and is in charge of the account from then on.
• Players 13 and older can have their own account, with an age check at sign-up and a box confirming a parent’s permission.
• A parent can see all of their child’s information in the app, and can delete it at any time.
• There is no way for a child to message anyone, share video publicly, or be contacted by another user through KickWorx.

[The consent and age-check steps aren’t in the app yet (decision due Nov 13, users-and-accounts/accounts.md). They must be built before this policy goes live, or these lines changed.]

If you believe a child under 13 is using KickWorx without a parent’s permission, email privacy@getkickworx.com and we will delete that information.

How we use it

• To analyze each kick and show the score, feedback, drills and progress.
• To run the account: sign-in, the plan, and the player profiles.
• To improve KickWorx, using measurements with names, emails and ages removed.
• To answer you when you write to us.

We never sell information, never use it for advertising, and never share a player’s results with anyone outside the account.

Who helps us run KickWorx

A few companies handle information for us, only to provide their service to KickWorx:

• Supabase stores the accounts, player profiles and kick results, in the United States.
• Our analysis server host runs the server that briefly receives each video and deletes it after the analysis. [Name the host here once it’s chosen: DigitalOcean is recommended.]
• Cloudflare hosts this website and forwards email sent to our getkickworx.com addresses.
• Apple and Google deliver the app, and will handle in-app purchases once subscriptions start.

[Before payments or AI-written feedback start, add Stripe (website payments) and Anthropic (writes feedback from the numbers only, never video or names), as planned in the launch notes.]

How long we keep it

• Video: deleted as soon as the analysis is done (see above).
• Free accounts that haven’t been used for 6 months are erased automatically.
• Paid accounts are kept while the subscription is active. If it’s cancelled, the data is erased after 30 days, and the family can start again on the free plan.
• The tester sign-up list is kept until the app opens to everyone, then deleted. [Conner to confirm.]

Your choices

• Delete the whole account in the app: Profile tab, then Delete account. This is permanent and removes every player profile, score, speed and piece of feedback with it.
• Delete one child’s profile, or one piece of data like a single score: email privacy@getkickworx.com and we’ll do it within 30 days.
• Leave the tester list: email the same address.

Keeping it safe

Information is encrypted on its way to us and where it’s stored. Only Conner Watkins can open the database, with two-factor sign-in. If anyone else ever helps run KickWorx, this policy will say so.

Not medical advice

KickWorx gives feedback on technique for training only. It isn’t medical or injury advice. If something hurts, talk to a coach or a doctor.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change affects how a child’s information is used, we’ll tell parents in the app or by email before it takes effect.
