Flexr is a mobile application wholly owned and operated by 542 Ventures, LLC ("Flexr," "we," "our," or "us") designed to help youth athletes create profiles and joyfully encourage one another through safe, structured interactions.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use Flexr.

By using Flexr, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Who Flexr Is For

Flexr is intended for:

• Youth Athletes
• Parents and legal guardians of athletes younger than 13

Flexr complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable privacy laws.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate Flexr.

A. Account & Identifiers

We collect:

• Email address
• Account ID
• Player ID
• Account role (athlete or guardian)

• Sport position(s)
• Teams, events, results, stats, and awards

Flexes do not allow free-text messages.

E. Usage & Analytics Data

• Authenticated app users: Limited profile view data (such as viewer state) is stored to provide in-app analytics.
• Anonymous web visitors: We do not store personal data in our database. Anonymous traffic to public landing pages is measured using standard web analytics tools.

Flexr does not use data for advertising or cross-app tracking.

• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell personal information.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Flexr is designed to be safe for children.

Children Under 13

• Children under 13 cannot use Flexr until verifiable parental consent is obtained.
• Consent is verified using a small authorization charge. This is handled securely via Stripe. We do not store credit card information thereafter.
• We do not condition a child's participation on providing more information than is reasonably necessary.
• A parent or guardian may revoke consent at any time.

Guardians

Guardian accounts:

• Are view-only
• May manage consent or request deletion of a child's account
• Cannot edit profiles, send flexes, or interact as athletes

5. Sharing of Information

We share information only:

• With other users, based on profile visibility settings
• With service providers that help operate Flexr (e.g., hosting, notifications, analytics)
• When required by law or to protect safety and integrity

We do not share personal information for advertising purposes.

6. Data Retention

• Authenticated profile view data is retained for up to 180 days, then deleted.
• Aggregated analytics may be retained without identifying individuals.
• Consent records are retained as required by law.
• Accounts and associated data may be deleted upon request. This is self-serviceable from within the app.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your role, you may:

• View and update your profile information
• Control profile visibility
• Opt out of push notifications
• Permanently delete your account and data

Parental Rights

Parents and guardians may:

• Review their child's information

9. Security
