Privacy Policy

Who we are

Cradle (“Cradle,” “we,” “us”) is an app for tracking lacrosse stats and organizing college recruiting. This policy covers the Cradle app for iPhone and Android, the Cradle app on the web for computers, the Cradle recruiting profiles at cradlelax.pages.dev, and our website at getcradlelax.com.

Questions or requests: email support@getcradlelax.com.

Who can use Cradle

Family accounts are created by parents and guardians 18 or older. A parent or guardian adds player profiles for their children and decides what goes in them and what is shared.

A parent or guardian can invite a player who is 13 or older to join the family with their own login, using an invite code. Players can’t sign up on their own, and parents and guardians can remove a player’s login at any time. We don’t knowingly let anyone under 13 have a login. If you believe a child under 13 has one, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Information you give us

Your account

• Your email address and password. Passwords are handled by our sign-in provider; we never see them.
• Your family name.
• When you agreed to the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.
• If you join a family with an invite code: which family and player you joined, and your email address, which other members of the family can see.

Player profiles

Anything you choose to enter for each player, which can include: name, sport, position, grad year, height, weight, dominant hand, hometown, photo, teams and jersey numbers, GPA, test scores, an unofficial transcript, player email and phone, bio, highlight video links, awards and honors, upcoming schedule, references, college commitment, private notes, and USA Lacrosse and NCAA ID numbers.

Stats and recruiting

• Games and stats you record, including games recorded live.
• Schools you favorite, college coaches’ names, titles and contact details, your notes and contact log, follow-up dates, camps, coaches seen at games, and email templates.

Information about other people

References and coach contacts are other people’s information. Please only add details you have permission to use, or that a person has made public for recruiting (for example, a coach’s listing on a college athletics website).

Information collected automatically

• Coach link visits. When you email a coach from Cradle, the links in that email are personal to that coach. When a coach opens one, we record which link was opened (the recruiting profile or a highlight video) and when, so you can see it in Coach views. Repeat opens within 30 minutes count once. We do not store the visitor’s IP address, location or device in these records.
• Hosting logs. Our hosting and database providers may keep standard technical logs (such as IP addresses and error reports) for security and reliability, under their own policies.
• On your device only. A game you’re recording live, your light/dark setting, the selected player, and when you last checked Coach views are saved on your phone (or in your browser on a computer), not on our servers. Follow-up reminders are scheduled as notifications on your phone.
• Coach alerts (if you turn them on). To send an alert when a coach opens one of your links, we save your phone’s push notification address with your account. Alerts are delivered through Expo’s push service and Apple’s or Google’s notification service, and say which school’s coach opened which link. Turn alerts off in Settings or in your phone’s settings; signing out or deleting your account removes the address.

The Cradle app has no advertising, no ad tracking and no analytics.

Our website (getcradlelax.com)

• Forms you fill in. If you sign up to hear when Cradle launches, join a waitlist, or send us a message, we receive your email address and anything else you type in the form (such as your name and message). We use it only to reply to you or send the update you asked for, never for advertising. To be removed, email us or reply to any message from us, and we’ll delete it.
• Visitor statistics. Our website is hosted by Framer, which counts visits for us (for example, which pages are viewed and which sites sent visitors). These statistics don’t use cookies, aren’t used for advertising, and don’t follow you to other websites. We only see totals, not who you are.

How we use information

• To run the app: save your stats, profiles and recruiting lists, and show them back to you.
• To build the recruiting profile, PDF and emails you ask for.
• To show you coach link visits.
• To keep the service secure, fix problems, and respond to you.

We don’t sell or rent personal information, share it for advertising, or use it to build marketing profiles.

Payments

If you subscribe to Cradle’s paid features, the purchase is handled by Apple’s App Store or Google Play using your Apple or Google account. Cradle never sees or stores your card number or billing details. We only receive what we need to unlock the features you paid for, such as whether a subscription is active and when it renews. To cancel or change a subscription, use your phone’s App Store or Google Play subscription settings.

What’s shared, and with whom

Within your family

Parents and guardians in a family can see all of the family’s players, stats and recruiting information. An invited player sees their own information, and other players’ only if a parent or guardian turns that on. Family members can see each other’s email addresses.

Your recruiting profile (only if you publish it)

Publishing makes a web page from a snapshot of the player’s profile. You choose what it includes (for example contact details, references, games, certain stats and levels). Anyone who has the link can see it. Pages are marked so search engines don’t list them. You can take a page offline at any time; the link then stops working, and the public copies of the photo and transcript are removed.

These are never on the recruiting profile or PDF: private notes, the USA Lacrosse member number, and your recruiting lists, contact log and coach visits. The NCAA ID appears only if you turn on “Show NCAA ID.” The unofficial transcript appears only if you turn on “Show on recruiting profile” for it; anyone with the page link can then open it, and you can turn it off at any time.

Things you send yourself

Emails to coaches are sent from your own email app and account, not by Cradle. When you share a PDF, transcript or game summary, it goes wherever you choose to send it. We don’t read your email.

Service providers

We use a small number of companies to run Cradle, and they process information only to provide their service to us:

• Supabase: sign-in, database and file storage.
• Cloudflare: hosts the recruiting profiles, the web app and this page.
• Framer: hosts our website at getcradlelax.com, counts website visits and forwards website form messages to us.
• Resend: sends account emails, such as sign-up confirmations and password resets.
• Expo: delivers coach alerts to your phone, if you turn them on.
• Apple and Google: deliver the app through their app stores, process subscription payments, and may provide crash reports if you’ve allowed it on your phone.

Legal reasons

We may share information if required by law, or to protect the safety of people or the service. If Cradle is ever transferred to a new owner, this policy will continue to apply to your information, and we’ll tell you before anything changes.

The College and Coach Directory

The directory lists college lacrosse programs and coaching staff (names, titles and work contact details) gathered from public sources such as college athletics websites. It is shared with all Cradle families. Coaches who want a listing corrected or removed can contact us.

How we protect information

• Information is encrypted in transit between the app and our servers.
• Your sign-in is stored encrypted on your phone.
• Database rules keep each family’s information visible only to that family’s account.
• Player photos and transcripts are kept in private storage and opened with short-lived links. A public copy is made only for a recruiting profile you publish (the photo, and the transcript if you chose to show it).

No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify you as required by law if a breach affects it.

Your choices and rights

• See and change your information in the app at any time.
• Remove a player, school, game, photo or transcript in the app at any time.
• Download a copy of your family’s information.
• Delete your account. Deleting it deletes your family’s information, including players, stats, recruiting lists, photos, transcripts, recruiting profiles and coach visit records.

Download and account deletion are being added to the app’s Settings. Until then, email us and we’ll do it for you within 30 days.

Depending on where you live, you may have other rights, such as asking what information we hold about you. Email us and we’ll help.

How long we keep information

We keep your information while your account is open, so the app works. When you delete something, it’s removed from the app right away; when you delete your account, your family’s information is deleted from our systems. Backups kept by our providers are cleared on their normal schedule.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we’ll let you know in the app before it takes effect.
