### Our Web Apps

This Policy also covers our free coaching apps: HoopSketch (hoopsketch.web.app), Practice Planner (hl-practice-planner.web.app), and Game Tracker (hl-stat-tracker.web.app).

**Using an app without an account.** Everything you create (plays, practice plans, games, rosters) is saved only in your own browser on your device. We don't receive it.

**Signing in.** If you choose to sign in, we store your email address and what you save in the app (your plays, plans, games and rosters) with Google Firebase so you can open it on any device. Sign-in is limited to members of the Hoop Leaders community, so we check your email address against our community member list when you sign in.

**Usage statistics.** The apps use Google Analytics to count how they're used, for example how many people open an app, add a step to a play, start a practice timer, or export a PDF. These counts are anonymous: we don't send your name, email address or anything you've written to Google Analytics, and Google Analytics advertising features are turned off. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects standard device information, such as browser type and approximate location. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, usage statistics are turned off.

**Player names.** Rosters may include the names and jersey numbers of your players. Only enter what you need. If you're signed in, this data is stored in your account and nobody else can see it.

**Deleting your data.** You can delete your HoopSketch account and all of its saved plays from the Account menu inside the app. For the other apps, or for anything else, email mike@hoopleaders.com and we'll delete your account and data.

### Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For individuals in the European Union, we rely on:

- **Performance of a contract** (e.g., processing orders).
- **Legal obligations** (e.g., regulatory compliance).
- **Legitimate interests** (e.g., improving our services).
- **Consent** (e.g., signing up for newsletters).

---

### International Data Transfers (GDPR)

If your data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we use recognized safeguards such as **Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)** or rely on adequacy decisions to protect your rights.
