PRIVACY POLICY

Drop N Launch App

At Haas N Hammer Studios LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), your privacy is of paramount importance. This Privacy Policy has been meticulously crafted to provide a detailed explanation of how we collect, process, and protect your personal data during your engagement with the DropNLaunch application (“the App”). By using the App, you explicitly agree that the collection and use of your data are governed solely by this Privacy Policy. This policy supersedes all prior representations, agreements, or understandings regarding privacy practices, whether verbal or written. We disclaim all liability for any incidental, consequential, or indirect damages arising from your use of the App, including but not limited to loss of data, unauthorized access, or service interruptions. The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Your decision to use the App constitutes your acceptance of these terms, including all disclaimers of liability stated herein. This Privacy Policy does not create or confer upon any individual or third party any rights, remedies, or other benefits beyond those explicitly outlined. Furthermore, any disputes arising from the interpretation or enforcement of this Privacy Policy are limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Should you have any concerns or objections, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue the use of the App immediately and contact us using the information provided below. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal data” refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, including but not limited to names, email addresses, and other demographic or behavioral information collected through the App. This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to the DropNLaunch application and does not govern interactions with any third-party services or resources accessed through the App. Such interactions are governed by the privacy policies of their respective providers, and we disclaim any responsibility or liability arising from their use. By continuing to use the App, you signify your irrevocable acceptance of this Privacy Policy in its entirety.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Account Information: When signing up or logging in to the App, users are required to authenticate using Apple or Google credentials. This process is governed by the respective privacy policies of Apple or Google, and we disclaim any responsibility for their data collection practices. Upon successful authentication, users may optionally provide additional account details, including a name or nickname, birthdate, height, weight, and baseball skill level. The provision of these details is entirely at the user’s discretion and is not mandatory for using the App. Users are encouraged to use nicknames if they prefer to remain anonymous. The App does not verify the authenticity of the data provided, and users are solely responsible for the accuracy of their submissions.

Performance Data: The App collects baseball swing metrics during gameplay or training sessions. These metrics may include, but are not limited to, swing speed, launch angle, ball exit velocity, and other performance-related data. Such data is collected exclusively for delivering personalized feedback, tracking progress, and enhancing the user’s experience within the App. Aggregated data, such as trends derived from swing metrics, age, height, and weight, may also be used for research, development, or marketing purposes. This aggregated data does not include personally identifiable information.

Device Information: To ensure optimal functionality and compatibility, the App may collect technical data related to the user’s device, including but not limited to device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and diagnostic information. This data is used solely to troubleshoot technical issues, improve the App’s performance, and maintain compatibility with supported devices.

DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY

All information collected by the App is securely stored using industry-standard encryption and access controls to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Despite these measures, no method of data transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security. By using the App, you acknowledge and accept these inherent risks. No data collected by the App will be sold, rented, or otherwise shared with third parties, except as explicitly outlined in this Privacy Policy or when required by applicable law. Aggregated and anonymized data used for analytics, research, or marketing purposes will be stripped of personally identifiable information to ensure user privacy.

VIDEO STORAGE AND BACKBLAZE

In addition to Firebase, we store certain user-generated videos with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage (“Backblaze”) to enable cross-device access and backup. By using the App, you consent to the storage of these videos on a third-party service. Backblaze applies its own security measures (including encryption in transit and at rest) to protect your data. However, we do not control Backblaze’s internal security policies or guarantee their performance. Purpose of Video Storage: Videos are stored in Backblaze so users can access their content across different devices and maintain a secure backup of their recordings. Disclosure: We do not share or sell user videos to any unrelated third parties. Authorized personnel may access user videos in Backblaze only to address technical issues, enforce our terms, or comply with legal obligations. Links to Backblaze Policies: For more details on how Backblaze manages your data, please review their Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the App, you acknowledge that Backblaze’s services and terms may differ from our own, and we disclaim liability for any breach or data handling error originating at Backblaze.

USER RESPONSIBILITIES

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and ensuring the accuracy of the data they provide. The Company assumes no liability for errors, omissions, or damages arising from inaccurate data submissions or unauthorized access to user accounts. Within the App, you may also assign a coach to your profile by linking the coach’s email to your account. By designating a coach, you grant that individual the ability to view, update, create, and delete certain performance data associated with your account, including but not limited to baseball swing metrics. You acknowledge and agree that: (1) it is solely your responsibility to select and authorize a coach you trust; (2) you bear all risks arising from the coach’s actions regarding your data once access is granted; and (3) the Company disclaims any liability for the coach’s misuse or unauthorized disclosure of your information.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

The information collected through the App is utilized strictly for the purposes of delivering, maintaining, and improving its functionality, as well as ensuring a seamless and personalized user experience. Specifically, we use your information to: authenticate and manage your account; provide tailored feedback based on performance metrics; deliver features most relevant to your profile and preferences; and analyze and improve App functionality using aggregated or anonymized data. Aggregated and anonymized data derived from swing metrics and other collected information is used exclusively for internal research, development, and marketing purposes, and does not include any personally identifiable information. We do not sell your personal data or share it with unauthorized third parties. If data sharing is necessary, it is strictly limited to the scenarios described in this Privacy Policy or as mandated by applicable law.

We limit the sharing of your personal data to the circumstances explicitly described below. Under no circumstances do we sell, rent, or disseminate your personally identifiable information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

• Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers (including cloud storage such as Firebase and Backblaze) who assist us in operating the App. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only as directed and to keep it confidential.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your data to governmental authorities or other third parties if required by law or in response to valid legal requests.
• Aggregated or Anonymized Data: Non-identifiable, aggregated data may be shared with third parties for research, analysis, or marketing.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable laws and regulations. Specifically:

Account Data:Retained while your account is active or as needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. If your subscription lapses and your account remains inactive for 30 consecutive days, we will delete your data from our cloud services, including your stored videos, unless otherwise required by law or necessary to comply with legal obligations.

PerformanceData: May be retained in aggregated or anonymized form indefinitely for analytical, research, or marketing purposes. Once anonymized, such data will no longer be associated with any identifiable user.

Device Specific Data Retained only as long as necessary for troubleshooting, compatibility, and functionality improvements.

If you choose to delete your account or request the deletion of your personal data, we will make reasonable efforts to remove your data promptly, subject to any legal or regulatory retention requirements. Aggregated or anonymized data may be retained without time limitation, as it no longer identifies you personally.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY POLICY

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data without the necessary consent, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our systems. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information are encouraged to contact us promptly so we can address the issue. By using the App, parents or guardians providing data for a minor acknowledge and agree to the collection and processing of the minor’s data under the terms of this Privacy Policy.

• Access and Modification: You may view, edit, or delete certain information (e.g., name, nickname, height, weight) via the App settings.
