Privacy Policy

Paydar provides an AI-assisted platform designed to help athletes and their families discover name, image, and likeness (NIL) marketing opportunities, review contracts, communicate with companies, and manage payments (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you use the Paydar mobile application, website, and related services.

This Privacy Policy is intended to explain our privacy practices. Your use of the Services is also subject to our Terms of Service and any additional notices presented when you use specific features.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in three categories: (A) information you provide, (B) information collected automatically, and (C) information received from third parties.

A. Information You Provide

Account and Identity Information. We may collect your name, email address, account credentials, date of birth, account type (athlete, parent or guardian, or business), and other information needed to create and manage your account. Passwords are handled using our authentication and security systems; we do not intend to collect or store passwords in readable form.

Parent and Guardian Information. For accounts involving minors, we may collect a parent's or legal guardian's name, email address, relationship to the minor, consent and approval records, and information reasonably necessary to verify authorization or manage the minor's account.

Athlete and Business Profiles. We may collect sport, school or institution, athletic statistics, social media handles, profile photographs, business information, marketing preferences, audience information, and other details users choose to provide.

Offers, Campaigns, and Contracts. Businesses may submit NIL offers, campaign descriptions, compensation terms, eligibility criteria, proposed agreements, contracts, attachments, and related information through Paydar. We collect and process these materials to operate the marketplace, present relevant opportunities to eligible athletes, facilitate communications and negotiations, support contract analysis, and administer deal workflows.

Athletes and authorized parents or guardians may review offers, submit responses, provide requested information, and upload or exchange related documents. Information submitted through these features may be visible to the relevant parties to an opportunity, including the submitting business, eligible athletes, and authorized parents or guardians, as appropriate to the feature and the transaction.

Users should submit only information they are authorized to provide. Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in offers, contracts, messages, or documents.

Messages and AI Inputs. We may collect messages exchanged through Paydar, deal responses, questions, documents submitted for AI analysis, and information users provide to receive contract reviews, recommendations, summaries, or other AI-assisted services.

Guardian Approvals and Consent Records. When a feature requires parental or guardian authorization, we may record the approval status, the associated athlete and guardian accounts, the date and time of the approval or withdrawal, and related workflow information. These records help us administer consent requirements, establish whether an approval step was completed, manage account permissions, and maintain appropriate records of transactions involving minors.

Payments and Financial Information. Payments and payouts may be processed through Stripe or other applicable payment providers. Paydar does not intend to store full payment card or bank account credentials. We may receive transaction status, payout information, payment identifiers, verification results, and information necessary to reconcile transactions, prevent fraud, and support payment-related inquiries.

Customer Support. We collect information you provide in support requests, emails, feedback, privacy requests, and other communications with Paydar.

B. Information Collected Automatically

Device and Technical Information. We may collect device type, operating system, app version, browser type, IP address, device or session identifiers, and related technical information.

Usage Information. We may collect information about features accessed, pages viewed, interactions, clicks, timestamps, and other activity necessary to operate and improve the Services.

Diagnostics and Security Information. We may collect crash reports, performance data, errors, authentication events, failed submissions, and technical information used to diagnose issues, secure accounts, detect abuse, and maintain system reliability.

Audit and Activity Logs. Paydar may maintain logs of significant events within the Services, including account and permission changes, offer creation and submission, changes to offer or contract records, document uploads, guardian approvals or withdrawals, and other relevant workflow actions. These records may include timestamps, account or user identifiers, event types, status changes, and technical metadata such as IP address or session information where collected.

We use audit logs to support security monitoring, investigate suspicious activity, maintain accountability, troubleshoot technical issues, establish the sequence of relevant events, and resolve disputes. Access to these records is restricted as appropriate to their purpose. Audit logs are not intended to make every user action publicly visible.

Bot Detection and Offer Form Security. Paydar uses Cloudflare Turnstile on designated forms, including the offer submission form, to help distinguish legitimate submissions from automated abuse and malicious traffic. In connection with this feature, Cloudflare may process technical signals such as IP address, browser user-agent information, TLS fingerprint, and information identifying the protected website or service. These signals are used for bot detection, form security, and abuse prevention in accordance with Cloudflare's applicable privacy documentation.

C. Information From Third Parties and Service Providers

We may receive or process information through third-party services that support the operation of Paydar, including:

Supabase. We use Supabase for backend infrastructure, authentication, database services, and storage, as applicable to our implementation.

Anthropic (Claude). We use Anthropic's Claude AI models to process eligible user-submitted text, documents, and prompts for contract analysis, summaries, risk identification, comparisons, recommendations, and other AI-assisted functionality. The information processed depends on the feature used and the content submitted.

Stripe and Payment Providers. Payment providers may supply transaction, payout, verification, and fraud-prevention information relating to transactions processed through their services.

Resend. We use Resend to deliver certain transactional and service-related emails, such as account communications, notifications, and workflow messages. Resend may process recipient email addresses, email content, delivery status, timestamps, bounce or failure information, and related technical logs as necessary to deliver and troubleshoot messages.

Cloudflare. We use Cloudflare Turnstile to help protect designated forms and Services from bots, spam, automated abuse, and malicious submissions.

OpenStreetMap Nominatim. When a business enters campaign location information, such as a ZIP code, city and state, or region, in the brand portal, we may send that location text to OpenStreetMap Nominatim, a third-party geocoding service, to obtain map coordinates. We use those coordinates to place and display opportunities and support location-based discovery. Nominatim is not operated by Paydar, and its use is subject to the applicable OpenStreetMap policies and practices.

Analytics and Infrastructure Providers. We may use analytics, hosting, monitoring, and infrastructure providers to understand service performance, diagnose errors, maintain reliability, and protect the Services. The information processed depends on the tools enabled and their configurations.

2. How We Use Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

• To create, authenticate, maintain, and secure user accounts.
• To operate athlete, guardian, and business profiles and associated permissions.
• To receive, review, display, and manage business-submitted offers, campaigns, contracts, and related documents.
• To help athletes discover relevant NIL opportunities and communicate with businesses.
• To facilitate contract analysis, document summaries, risk identification, comparisons, and other AI-assisted features.
• To collect, record, and manage parental or guardian approvals where required.
• To deliver account notices, service notifications, verification messages, and other requested communications.
• To facilitate payments and payouts through applicable payment providers.
• To prevent fraud, spam, unauthorized access, bots, and other misuse.
• To maintain audit records, investigate incidents, troubleshoot problems, and resolve disputes.
• To improve the reliability, security, and functionality of the Services.
• To respond to customer support inquiries and privacy requests.
• To comply with applicable laws, enforce our agreements, and protect the rights, safety, and security of Paydar and its users.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We do not use information collected through these features for unrelated advertising purposes. Where applicable privacy laws define certain disclosures or advertising-related practices more broadly than an ordinary sale, our practices and obligations will be evaluated under those laws.

3. AI Processing Transparency and Minors

A. AI Processing Transparency

Paydar uses AI-assisted technologies to provide contract reviews, summaries, risk identification, comparisons, recommendations, and other features.

When you submit information or documents for an AI-assisted feature, the relevant content may be transmitted to and processed by Anthropic, the AI service provider used for these features. This may include personal information contained in a contract, offer, message, or uploaded document.

AI-generated outputs are informational and are not legal advice. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for a particular situation. Users should independently evaluate important decisions and seek qualified professional advice when appropriate.

Paydar configures its AI integrations to restrict provider use of submitted API data for model training where supported by the applicable service, account settings, and contractual terms. The actual handling of information depends on the AI provider and the configuration in effect when a feature is used. Please do not submit information that you are not authorized to disclose.

B. Minors Ages 13–17

Paydar is designed to support eligible athletes, including minors where permitted. For users ages 13–17, Paydar requires verified parental or legal guardian consent and oversight as applicable to the account and features used.

We may process a guardian's contact details, relationship to the athlete, consent status, approval history, and related account records to administer this process. Guardians may be provided with relevant account oversight and approval capabilities according to the features available in Paydar.

A parent or legal guardian may contact Paydar to request withdrawal of consent or changes to a minor's account permissions. Withdrawal may affect the availability of features that require authorization. We may retain certain records where necessary to document the withdrawal, comply with legal obligations, maintain security, or resolve disputes.

We may rely on information provided during registration and may take additional steps to verify consent or authorization where appropriate. Users must not misrepresent their age, identity, or authority to act on behalf of a minor.

C. Children Under 13

Paydar does not knowingly permit children under 13 to create accounts or knowingly collect their personal information in violation of applicable children's privacy laws. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the required authorization, we will take appropriate steps to address the issue, which may include disabling the account and deleting information where required by law.

A parent or guardian may contact contact@gopaydar.com to raise a concern or request review of a child's information.

4. How We Share Information

A. Sharing With Service Providers

We may disclose personal information to service providers that help us operate the Services, including providers for hosting, authentication, database storage, AI processing (Anthropic), email delivery, bot detection, geocoding, analytics, and payment processing.

These providers receive information as necessary for the services they perform and subject to applicable contractual, technical, and legal restrictions. Their processing of information is also subject to their applicable terms and privacy documentation.

B. Sharing Between Athletes, Guardians, and Businesses

Paydar is a platform for discovering and managing NIL opportunities. To provide these features, we may make relevant information available to the users involved in an opportunity or transaction.

For example:

• Business-submitted offers and campaign information may be presented to eligible athletes.
• Proposed contracts and related documents may be made available to the parties involved in reviewing, negotiating, or completing a deal.
• An athlete's responses and relevant deal-related communications may be shared with the submitting business and authorized participants.
• Guardian approval status and related workflow information may be made available to authorized users when necessary to complete or administer a required approval.
• Account and audit information may be accessed by authorized personnel or disclosed when reasonably necessary for security investigations, support, compliance, or dispute resolution.

The information visible to each user depends on their role, permissions, the opportunity involved, and the features used. Paydar does not intend for confidential information to be made publicly accessible merely because it is submitted to the platform.

Users should understand that information shared with another user may be retained by that user or included in documents or communications outside Paydar's control.

C. Legal, Safety, and Business Transfers

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our agreements, investigate suspected fraud or security incidents, protect the rights or safety of users or others, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If Paydar undergoes a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of its business or assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, administer accounts and transactions, maintain required records, comply with legal obligations, protect security, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Retention periods vary by information type and purpose. For example:

• Account and profile information may be retained while an account is active and for an appropriate period afterward.
• Offers, contracts, and deal-related communications may be retained to administer transactions, document agreements, and resolve disputes.
• Guardian approvals and consent records may be retained to document authorization, withdrawals, and relevant account actions.
• Audit logs and security records may be retained for investigation, accountability, fraud prevention, and system integrity.
• Email delivery logs and technical records may be retained as needed to diagnose delivery failures, maintain service reliability, and prevent abuse.

We seek to limit retention to what is reasonably necessary for these purposes. Information may be retained longer where required or permitted by law, needed to establish or defend legal claims, or necessary to maintain security and integrity. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices.

6. Your Privacy Rights and Security

A. Access, Correction, and Deletion

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to personal information, obtain information about how it is used or disclosed, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, withdraw consent where applicable, or exercise other available privacy rights.

To submit a privacy request, contact contact@gopaydar.com. Please identify the account or information involved and the nature of your request. We may request reasonable verification of identity or authority, particularly for requests involving a minor's account, to help protect users from unauthorized disclosure or changes.

We will review and respond to requests in accordance with applicable law. Certain information may be retained where a legal exception applies, including information needed to complete transactions, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, or establish or defend legal claims.

B. California and Other Jurisdictional Rights

Residents of California and certain other jurisdictions may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, subject to eligibility and legal exceptions. These rights may include the right to know, access, correct, or delete personal information; opt out of certain sales or sharing; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and receive equal service and pricing when exercising privacy rights.

Paydar does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. If our practices change in a way that triggers additional disclosure or opt-out obligations, we will provide the notices and mechanisms required by applicable law.

C. Security

Paydar uses reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, which may include encryption in transit, authentication controls, restricted database access, and safeguards for sensitive workflows.

No system or method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to maintain appropriate safeguards and address security issues when identified.

D. International Processing

Personal information may be processed or stored in the United States and other locations where Paydar or its service providers operate. Data protection laws may differ between jurisdictions. Where required, we will apply appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

7. Third-Party Services, Policy Updates, and Contact

A. Third-Party Services

The Services may link to or integrate with third-party products and websites, including payment providers and external business websites. Those services may have their own terms and privacy policies, which govern their independent practices. Paydar is not responsible for third-party practices outside our control.

B. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our Services, technology, vendors, legal obligations, or privacy practices. We will update the “Last Updated” date and provide additional notice of material changes when required or appropriate, including through the Services or email.

Where applicable law requires notice or consent for a material change, we will follow the applicable requirements. Continued use of the Services should not be interpreted as replacing any consent or notice required by law.
