Privacy Policy

ZoneRead is paid only by the athlete — never by schools, brands, agents, or collectives. That independence shapes this policy: we do not sell your information, and we do not share your contracts with the other side of your deal.

1. Information we collect

• Account information — name, email, password, and an optional promo code you enter.
• Contract content you submit — the text of NIL contracts you paste or upload, plus context you provide (such as the athlete's state and age), and the analysis generated from it.
• Payment information — handled by Stripe. We receive limited details (such as subscription status and the last digits/brand of a card). We never see or store your full card number.
• Usage and device information — basic logs, device/browser data, and how you interact with the Service.
• Entitlement and usage counters — a record of what you have purchased and how much of the Service you have used, including the number of free previews run on your account. We keep these to enforce plan limits and prevent abuse, not to profile you.

2. How we use information

• To provide the Service — generating your analysis, maintaining your Deal File, and processing payments and alerts.
• To improve the Service — in de-identified, aggregated form only.
• To communicate — service messages, deadline and rule-change alerts you have enabled.

3. How we share information

• With service providers who help us operate — our AI provider (Anthropic), database and authentication (Supabase), payments (Stripe), and messaging providers. They process data on our instructions.
• With an attorney, only if you ask. We do not send your Deal File to anyone without your explicit request.
• Never with the counterparty. Not the school, the brand, the agent, or the collective.
• Legal reasons — if required by law, or to protect rights and safety.

4. Minors and parental consent

If the athlete is a minor, a parent or legal guardian must create and control the account. We do not knowingly collect information directly from a child without that consent.

5. Data retention

We keep your Deal File while your account is open so you can return to it. Delete your account and we remove your personal data and contracts, except where we must retain records (for example, payment records) by law.

6. Security

We use industry-standard measures including encryption in transit and access controls. No system is perfectly secure.

7. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live (for example, under the California CCPA/CPRA or the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a portable copy of your personal information, and to appeal a decision we make about such a request.

You can exercise the core of these rights yourself, immediately, from your account settings:

• Access and portability — download a machine-readable copy of everything we hold about you, including your contracts and analyses.
• Correction — update your name and notification preferences.
• Deletion — permanently delete your account and its contents.

For anything else, or to appeal, contact us at [privacy@getzoneread.com]. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

8. Cookies

We use only the cookies necessary to keep you signed in and to operate the Service. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not track you across other websites.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, there is no consent banner to click. If we ever add analytics or marketing cookies, we will ask for your consent first and update this Policy.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be posted here with a new date.
