Privacy Policy
Last updated September 28, 2026
HoopTrace is a basketball stat-capture tool. We collect as little as possible — and for the kids on the court, almost nothing. This policy explains exactly what we handle and why.
Who we are
HoopTrace (“we,” “us”) is operated by Cure Consulting Group. This policy covers the HoopTrace website and apps (the “Service”).
What we collect
Operator & scorer accounts (adults). Name, email address, and sign-in identifier for the coaches, scorers, and operators who run games. These are the people who use HoopTrace.
Roster data (intentionally minimal). For each player we store only a display name, a jersey number, and a team. We do not collect player contact information, dates of birth, photos, video, audio, geolocation, or biometric data. Jersey and team are attributes — never an identity.
Game & stat data. The play-by-play events and box scores captured during a game.
Technical data. Standard server logs (timestamps, error traces) needed to run and secure the Service.
Children & minor athletes
Many players are minors, so we designed for that from day one. Children are not users of HoopTrace — coaches, scorers, parents, and operators are. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child, and we do not create child-facing accounts or surfaces.
The only data tied to a player is a name and a jersey number entered by an adult operator — deliberately below the threshold of the personal information that laws such as COPPA are concerned with (no full name + DOB, no contact info, no photo, no persistent identifier, no location). If you believe a child’s information has been provided in a way that concerns you, contact us at hello@hooptrace.com and we will remove it.
What the public can see. By default, on public live box scores and any link you share, a minor athlete appears as a first name and last initial with a jersey number (for example, “Jayden W. #23”). An event’s organizer may choose to publish athletes’ full names for that event’s games, after confirming they have the right to (for example through the event’s participation terms or parental consent); those games then show full names publicly. A parent’s or guardian’s request always overrides that choice: they may ask us to show their child as a jersey number only, with no name at all, or to remove a player entirely (see below). A player’s full name is always visible to the team’s own authorized operators and scorers, and on the finalized PDF stat sheet.
We never sell or share athlete data with advertisers or media partners. Stats and names tied to a minor athlete are used only to run the Service for that player’s team. We do not sell athlete data, and we do not share it with advertising networks, data brokers, or media or recruiting outlets — ever.
Parents and guardians can opt a player out of public display. If you would like a player’s name removed from public surfaces (the live scoreboard, the public box score, and downloadable stat sheets), email hello@hooptrace.com with the player’s name, team, and jersey number, and your relationship to the player. Once processed, the player appears as a jersey number only (for example “#23”) everywhere the public can see — across all of their games, past and future — while their team’s scoring stays intact for everyone else. We keep an internal record of every request and confirm by reply when it takes effect.
How we use data
To provide the Service: capture stats, render the live box score, generate the branded PDF stat sheet, and email that stat sheet to the adult contacts an operator designates. We use technical data to operate, secure, and improve the Service. We do not use your data to build advertising profiles.
What we never do
We do not sell your data. We do not show ads. We do not share roster or game data with third-party marketers. Period.
Who we share data with
Infrastructure providers that run the Service on our behalf (e.g. Google Cloud / Firebase for hosting, storage, and email delivery), under their data-protection terms. Finalized PDF stat sheets are delivered only to the contacts an operator chooses.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted to the accounts and services that need it, and the ledger of game events is append-only (corrections are tracked, never silent edits).
Retention & your choices
We keep game and roster data while your account is active so your history stays available. To access, correct, or delete data — including a specific player’s roster entry — email hello@hooptrace.com and we’ll handle it promptly.
Cookies & analytics
We use the cookies/storage required to keep you signed in and to operate the Service. We do not run third-party advertising trackers.
Usage analytics are off until you say yes. On the website we ask before collecting anything. Until you click Accept, Google Analytics is not loaded, no analytics cookies are set, and nothing is sent — including the page you landed on. If you click Decline, it is never loaded. Your choice is remembered in this browser.
If you accept, we send anonymous usage events to Google Analytics (operated by Google): which kind of page you viewed (for example “a game page,” never the specific address or anything after the “?” in it), app actions such as creating a game or sharing a box score, a game’s id where relevant, how you signed in (Google, Apple, email link, or password), your role on an organization when known, the app version and build, a random per-visit session id, and error codes. We never send names, email addresses, account ids, player ids, jersey numbers, or ages, and advertising features are turned off.
Changes & contact
We’ll update the date above when this policy changes. Questions? hello@hooptrace.com.
