Plain-English summary: PYM collects what we need to register your child for camp and run our programs. We don't sell your data. We don't spam you. If you ever want your information removed, email us and we'll handle it.
1. Who We Are
Profound Youth Movement (“PYM,” “we,” “us”) is a for-profit youth basketball development business based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded by Rod Saintyl in 2017. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit profoundym.com, register for our programs, or interact with us via email or social media.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
When you register a player, sign up for our waitlist, or contact us, we may collect:
- Player and parent/guardian names
- Email addresses and phone numbers
- Player age, grade, school, and position
- Emergency contact information
- Medical considerations relevant to athletic participation (allergies, conditions)
- Photo/video consent preferences
- Payment confirmation references (we do not store credit card numbers — payments are processed by CashApp, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle directly)
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we use Google Analytics (with your consent — see our cookie banner) to understand:
- Which pages you visit and for how long
- How you found our site (direct, search, social media, email)
- General location (city/region, never precise GPS)
- Device type and browser
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party trackers beyond Google Analytics.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Program operations: registering players, sending session updates, managing waitlists, communicating about schedules
- Player development: tracking shooting metrics in our internal PYM Shooting Lab system to deliver report cards to families
- Communication: responding to your inquiries, sending PYM updates if you opt in
- Improvement: understanding which content and programs resonate with families
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in these limited situations:
- Service providers: Formspree (registration form processing), EmailJS (email notifications), Google Analytics (consent-gated). These providers are contractually limited to their service roles.
- Legal requirements: if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of participants
- Business transitions: in the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred to a successor (you'll be notified)
5. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
PYM serves players ages 10–18. For players under 13, we collect information only with verified parent/guardian consent through the registration process. Parents may review, request deletion, or refuse further collection of their child's data at any time by emailing profoundym@gmail.com.
6. Your Rights
You may at any time:
- Request a copy of the information we hold about you or your child
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your data (some retention may be required for legal/financial records)
- Withdraw photo/video consent
- Unsubscribe from email communications
Email profoundym@gmail.com with your request. We aim to respond within 14 days.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption on our website and limited access to registration data. No internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Cookies & Tracking
We use a single cookie/storage entry (pym_cookie_consent) to remember your cookie preference, plus Google Analytics cookies only if you've accepted them. You can change your preference by clearing your browser storage.
9. Third-Party Links
Our site may link to external sites (Instagram, Facebook, payment apps). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as PYM grows. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be communicated via email to active families.
