Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 1, 2026 · Effective Date: July 10, 2026

Athlete Quotient, Inc. ("Athlete Quotient," "AQ," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at athletequotient.com (the "Site") or use our platform and services (collectively, the "Services").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you create an account, sign up for our waitlist, or use our Services, we may collect the following categories of personal information:

Account and Identity Information

Athletic Profile Information

Communication Information

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you access our Site or Services, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

1.3 Product Usage Events (Our Own Analytics)

In addition to Google Analytics, we operate our own analytics, which runs on our servers and sends nothing to a third party. We built it because we need to know where people get stuck in our Services, and we would rather answer that question with a deliberately small amount of information than hand a fuller picture to somebody else.

What it records. The name of something that happened ("viewed a page", "started the assessment", "reached step 3", "submitted"), the page it happened on, a randomly generated session identifier, a small number of low-detail values such as a step number or a sport, the campaign tags on the link you arrived through, the domain name (not the full address) of the site that referred you, and whether your screen is phone, tablet, or desktop sized. When you are signed in, events are associated with your account.

What it never records. Names, email addresses, dates of birth, ages, physical measurements, athletic metrics, IP addresses, or browser user-agent strings. Where an AQ Score appears in an event it is recorded as a broad band, never as a number, and never alongside anything that identifies who it belongs to.

The session identifier is random. It is not derived from you, your device, or anything about you, it resets after 30 minutes of inactivity, and it is deliberately not carried from athletequotient.com to our portal, so browsing you do before creating an account is not linked to the account you later create.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are honored. If your browser sends either signal, our own analytics collects nothing at all - not a reduced set, nothing. Much of our audience is under 18, and someone who has asked not to be measured should not have to take our word for it.

1.4 Information From Third Parties

We may receive information from third-party services you choose to connect, such as Google Sign-In (name and email address only).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

We do not use your personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third-party advertisers.

3. We Do Not Sell Your Data

Athlete Quotient does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration. This commitment applies to all categories of personal information we collect, including information about minors.

This commitment is absolute and applies regardless of:

4. When We Share Information

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

4.1 With Your Consent

We may share your athletic profile information with college coaches, recruiters, or certified coaches when you explicitly opt in to make your profile visible to these parties. You control this visibility through your account settings at all times.

4.2 Service Providers

We use trusted third-party service providers to help operate our Services. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to provide services to us and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose. Our current service providers include:

Our own product usage events described in Section 1.3 are not shared with any of these providers. They are stored in our own database and are not sent to an analytics company, an advertising network, or any other third party.

4.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Athlete Quotient, our users, or the public.

4.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice on our Site before your personal information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4.5 Aggregated or De-Identified Data

We may share aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may share aggregate statistics about athletic benchmarks across positions and age groups.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Athlete Quotient takes the privacy of children very seriously. Our platform serves athletes of all ages, including children under the age of 13, and we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) as amended in 2025.

5.1 Parental Involvement for Children Under 13

When someone tells us they are under 13, our servers require a parent or guardian's name and email address before the submission is accepted. This is enforced on our servers, not merely in the browser, so it cannot be bypassed. We then email that parent or guardian immediately, telling them exactly what we hold, what we use it for, and giving them a single link that deletes it permanently without needing an account or a reply.

We want to be precise about what this is. Requiring a parent's contact details and notifying them is a meaningful protection, and it is not the same as the "verifiable parental consent" methods described in the COPPA rule, which require an additional step such as a payment card, a signed form, or a video call. We are describing what our software actually does rather than claiming more. If you are a parent and you would prefer a stronger process before we hold anything about your child, email privacy@athletequotient.com and we will handle it individually.

5.2 Parental Rights

Parents and guardians of children under 13 have the right to:

To exercise these rights, parents may contact us at privacy@athletequotient.com or info@athletequotient.com. Deletion does not require an email: the notice we send when a child under 13 submits an assessment contains a link that deletes the record immediately, and that link does not expire.

5.3 Data Minimization for Children

For users under 13, we collect only the information necessary to provide the Services and do not collect more information than is reasonably necessary. We do not:

The product usage events described in Section 1.3 are collected the same way for every visitor regardless of age, and the reason we can say that plainly is that they contain nothing about the person to begin with - no name, no email, no age, no measurements, and a session identifier that is randomly generated rather than derived from anyone. They are used to find where our Services confuse or fail people, and for nothing else. They are never used for advertising and never shared.

5.4 Data Retention for Children

Personal information collected from children under 13 is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. Parents may request deletion at any time.

6. State Privacy Rights

6.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provides you with the following rights:

Categories of Personal Information Collected (per CCPA categories):

We have not sold personal information of any consumer in the preceding 12 months. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@athletequotient.com. We will verify your identity before processing your request. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

6.2 Virginia Residents (VCDPA)

Virginia residents have the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of their personal data, as well as the right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and profiling. We do not engage in the sale of personal data or targeted advertising.

6.3 Colorado Residents (CPA)

Colorado residents have the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of their personal data. Colorado residents also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and profiling. We do not sell personal data.

6.4 Connecticut Residents (CTDPA)

Connecticut residents have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and port their personal data, and to opt out of sale, targeted advertising, and profiling.

6.5 Texas Residents (TDPSA)

The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act provides Texas residents with rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of their personal data, and to opt out of the sale of personal data, targeted advertising, and profiling. As a Texas-based company, we take these obligations seriously and do not sell personal data.

6.6 Other States

Additional states including Utah, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, and others have enacted comprehensive privacy laws. We extend the core rights described above - access, correction, deletion, and the right to opt out of data sales - to all U.S. residents regardless of state.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

7.1 What We Use

7.2 What We Do Not Use

We do sometimes buy advertising that links to our Site. When we do, the link may carry tags identifying the campaign it came from, and those tags are passed to our portal so we can tell which advertising brought people to us. These tags describe the advertisement, not you, and no identifier that could follow you between our Site and our portal travels with them.

7.3 Your Choices

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You may disable cookies, but some features of the Site may not function properly. Google Analytics data can be opted out of using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

To switch off our own analytics, enable Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in your browser. We honor both, and when either is on we collect no product usage events whatsoever. Clearing your browser's site data also erases the random session identifier, and a new one is generated on your next visit.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to implementing industry-standard protections and promptly addressing any security incidents.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When personal information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Regardless of your state of residence, you may:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@athletequotient.com or info@athletequotient.com. We will respond to all verified requests within 45 days.

11. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by:

Your continued use of our Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
