Last updated: August 7, 2026
Pitchnotes ("Pitchnotes," "we," "us," or "our") operates getpitchnotes.com (the "Service"), a platform for football scouting analysis and community content. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal data when you use the Service.
By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy.
Until Pitchnotes is incorporated, the data controller responsible for your personal data is the individual operating Pitchnotes. Once Pitchnotes is incorporated, this section will be updated with formal company details.

1.1 Account Information. When you sign up, we collect information through our authentication provider (Auth0), which may include:
1.2 Content You Provide. When you use the Service, we collect the content you create, including:
Information you choose to publish, including scouting notes, comments, profile information, and engagement activity, may be visible to other users and may remain visible until removed. This content may be publicly visible as part of your public track record on the platform.
1.3 Usage Data and Server Logs. We use Vercel Analytics to understand how the Service is used. This tool is cookieless and privacy-friendly — it collects aggregated or de-identified usage information such as page views and general traffic patterns, and does not track you individually across sites or use persistent identifiers.
We may also automatically collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring pages, timestamps, and error logs, generated through normal server operation, for security, fraud prevention, and troubleshooting.
1.4 Payment Information (Future). If and when we introduce premium accounts or paid features, payments will be handled by a third-party payment processor. We do not currently store or process payment card details ourselves, and this policy will be updated before any payment processor is introduced.
1.5 Advertising (Future). We do not currently serve ads. If we introduce advertising in the future, this policy — and our cookie practices — will be updated in advance to describe what data ad partners collect and how you can control it.
We use the information we collect to:
Where UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
We share personal data only as needed to operate the Service:
| Recipient | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Auth0 | Authentication and account security |
| Supabase | Database hosting and storage of application data |
| Vercel | Hosting and cookieless analytics |
| Future: payment processor | Processing premium/subscription payments (once introduced) |
| Future: ad partners | Serving advertising (once introduced, with updated disclosures) |
For reference, you can review each provider's own privacy practices: Auth0, Supabase, Vercel.
We do not sell your personal data. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice to you where required).
Pitchnotes serves users globally, and our service providers (such as Auth0, Supabase, and Vercel) may process and store data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where we transfer personal data from the UK or EU to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as applicable.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we aim to delete or de-identify your personal data without undue delay, except where we're required to retain it for legal, security, fraud prevention, or dispute-resolution purposes. Publicly posted content (e.g., scouting notes) may persist in aggregated or de-identified form as part of the platform's historical record, unless you request removal.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights including:
UK and EU users can lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO). Users in other regions (e.g., California residents under the CCPA) may have similar rights under applicable local law.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@getpitchnotes.com. We may request information to verify your identity before responding to your request. We aim to respond to requests within one month where required under applicable law.
The Service currently does not use cookies for analytics (Vercel Analytics is cookieless). We use essential cookies or similar authentication technologies strictly necessary to keep you logged in; Auth0 may use cookies or similar technologies for this purpose, depending on implementation. If we introduce advertising or additional analytics in the future that require cookies, we will update this policy and provide a cookie consent mechanism where required by law.
The Service is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 16 without appropriate consent where required, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can address it.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including measures such as encryption in transit, access controls, and authentication safeguards, relying in part on the security practices of our infrastructure providers (Auth0, Supabase, Vercel). However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date, and where appropriate, by direct notice (e.g., email). Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy where permitted by law.
The Service may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
