We do not knowingly sell personal information of children under 13. If ProLink Sports engages in a practice that constitutes a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under an applicable privacy law, we will provide any disclosures and choices required by that law.

4.Public Profiles and User-Directed Sharing

Athletes may choose to create profiles containing recruiting information, photos, videos, statistics, and other content. Depending on the feature and visibility settings, profile information may be visible to recruiters, agencies, coaches, teams, or other users. Do not post information you do not want other people to see. ProLink Sports cannot guarantee that information shared with another user will remain confidential after that user receives it.

5.Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

ProLink Sports and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, software development kits, pixels, logs, and similar technologies to keep the Services functioning, remember preferences, understand usage, improve performance, prevent fraud, and measure communications. The exact technologies depend on the tools integrated into the current version of the Services. Where required by law, we will provide applicable consent and privacy choices.

6.Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary by information type and purpose. When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or de-identify it, subject to legal and operational requirements.

7.Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no website, app, database, or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users are responsible for protecting their login credentials and should promptly report suspected unauthorized access.

8.Children's Privacy

ProLink Sports is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without legally required parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to ProLink Sports, please contact us through the ProLink Sports website so we can investigate and take appropriate action. Users under the age of majority should use the Services only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian when required by applicable law.
