Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026  ·  Effective immediately

1. Overview

Pathwise Sports Inc. ("Pathwise", "we", "us", or "our") operates the Pathwise platform at pathwisesports.com. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By accessing or using Pathwise, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Account & Identity Data

When you create an account via Manus OAuth or other authentication providers, we receive your name and email address. We use this to identify your account, send transactional emails (purchase confirmations, access notifications), and provide customer support.

2.2 Athlete Profile Data

To generate assessments and recruiting recommendations, we collect information you voluntarily provide about your athlete, including: graduation year, fencing weapon, competitive ranking (JNPL/NAC), academic scores (GPA, SAT/ACT), target schools, and training history. This data is used exclusively to power Pathwise features (GSAI assessments, school matching, AI Coach responses) and is never sold to third parties.

2.3 Payment Data

All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. Pathwise does not store, transmit, or have access to your full credit card number, CVV, or card expiration date. We store only the Stripe Customer ID and transaction reference IDs necessary to verify your purchase and maintain your access rights. Stripe's privacy practices are governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy.

2.4 Usage & Analytics Data

We collect anonymized usage data (pages visited, features used, session duration) to understand how users interact with the platform and improve our product. This data does not identify you personally and is not shared with third-party advertising networks.

2.5 AI Coach Conversations

Messages you send to the AI Coach are processed by our AI infrastructure to generate responses. Conversation history is stored to provide continuity across sessions. We may review anonymized conversation samples to improve AI response quality. We do not use your conversations to train third-party AI models without your explicit consent.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

  • To create and maintain your account and verify your purchase access
  • To generate personalized GSAI assessments, school recommendations, and AI Coach responses
  • To process payments and send purchase confirmation emails
  • To send product updates, feature announcements, and important service notices
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
  • To improve platform features based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data and athlete profile for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with access to purchased features.

If you request account deletion, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., financial records for tax purposes, which are retained for 7 years).

Anonymized, aggregated usage data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify you.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Deletion — request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Portability — request your data in a machine-readable format
  • Objection — object to certain types of data processing
  • Withdrawal of consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies & Session Storage

Pathwise uses session cookies to maintain your authenticated state. These cookies are essential for the platform to function and cannot be disabled without logging out.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies. We do not participate in behavioral advertising networks.

8. Children's Privacy

Pathwise is intended for use by parents and guardians of student athletes, not directly by minors. Account creation requires users to be at least 18 years of age. Athlete profile data entered on behalf of a minor is provided by and under the responsibility of the parent or guardian account holder. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, contact us immediately at [email protected].

9. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, secure session management, and access controls for internal systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication where available.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email. Your continued use of Pathwise after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
