Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

Sideline Media ("Sideline", "we") runs the Sideline app and the website sidelinemediagroup.com. This page explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. Questions: contact@sidelinemediagroup.com.

Who can use Sideline

Sideline is for people 13 and older. If you are under 18, use it with a parent or guardian's knowledge. If we learn that someone under 13 has an account, we will delete it.

What we collect

Account: your email address and password (stored securely, never in plain text).
Profile: your name, role (photographer or athlete), and the details you choose to add, such as sport, team, position, jersey number, and location. Photographers can add a bio, prices, sports covered, and portfolio photos.
Booking requests and bookings: the details you type in, such as player name, jersey number, team, game date, location, package, and notes.
Reports and blocks: reports you send, and who you block.
Website messages: if you use a contact form on our website, we receive the name, email, and message you send.

We do not ask for your precise location, contacts, or payment details. Payments are not processed in the app at this time.

How we use it

To run your account and show your profile and listings to other users as you set them up.
To handle booking requests between athletes and photographers.
To keep Sideline safe: reviewing reports, removing content, and enforcing our Terms.
To reply to messages you send us.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not show ads.

Who can see it

Photographer profiles and portfolio photos are visible to other signed-in users.
Booking request details are visible to the two people involved and to Sideline administrators when needed for safety or support.
Blocked users cannot see or contact you through Sideline.

Services we use

We use Supabase to host accounts, the database, and stored photos, and Cloudflare to host our website and receive website messages. These providers process data for us under their own terms and privacy practices.

We use email delivery to send account confirmation and password messages.

Deleting your account

In the app, go to Account, then Delete account. This removes your login, profile, listing, portfolio photos, and requests. Some things stay after deletion:

The administrator activity log, kept for safety and accountability.
Reports you sent, with your name removed.
A photographer's own booking records. If a photographer saved details you typed (such as your name, jersey number, team, and game info) in their bookings, they remain in that photographer's records until the photographer deletes them or deletes their account.

You can also email us to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of your data.

Security and storage

Data is protected with access rules so that people only see what they are allowed to. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

Children and teens

People 13 to 17 may use Sideline. Parents or guardians can contact us to ask about or remove a teen's account or photos.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date above. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email.
