What changed in these documents
Each time we publish a new version of our privacy policy or our terms of service, we list it here: the date, the document and what changed, newest first. The entries start with the version in force when the first invited family's account opens, October 27, 2026.
November 11, 2026 — Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy: a first email to a program's recruiting inbox. §8 now says that, from a program's public pages, we also keep the email address a program gives recruits for the program as a whole rather than for one coach (its recruiting inbox), with the page it appears on, and that a family's first email to a program may be addressed to that inbox, as may a later one where we hold no coach's email address for that program. The family sends those emails itself, from its own email or recruiting-platform account; Throughball never sends them. trythroughball.com/site-owners says how we find and keep that address.
November 9, 2026 — Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy: the demo's answers on your own device. If you ask for early access from the demo, your browser now keeps the position, club team and school preferences you gave, with a one-way code made from the email address you asked with, so that setting up your account on the same device can start from them; §2 says so, and trythroughball.com/privacy/measurement says how long it lasts and when it is removed. Nothing new is saved on our servers; §2 says what asking for early access does collect.
November 8, 2026 — Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy: a phone alert when you ask for early access. §4 now names, among the services we use to run Throughball, the one that sends our operator a phone alert when an early-access request arrives. The alert carries the athlete's graduating class, the program and an internal reference to the request, never a name or an address; trythroughball.com/privacy/providers names who sends it, where, and how long they keep it. §2 now also says how we name your family's account and its private inbound address when you do not give us your player's first name.
November 6, 2026 — Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy: our own email. §2 now says we keep the messages you send us and our replies, §3 that we use them to answer you and to handle a request about your rights, and §4 names our own email among the services we use to run Throughball. It holds those messages, such as a reply to the email telling you your account is ready, a request about your rights, or, where a parent confirms by email rather than in the app, the email in which the parent confirms each athlete's grade. trythroughball.com/privacy/providers names who holds it, where, and how long we keep those messages, and §7 adds that a message we delete from our own email can remain at our email provider for up to 180 days.
November 6, 2026 — Terms of Service
Terms of Service: usage limits and texts you log. §7 now says that when a usage limit is reached, some automatic work on a text you log on a school's page — sorting it, and bringing the school's summary up to date — can be skipped without a notice, as it can for mail you forward or copy to us. The text itself is still stored, and trythroughball.com/limits says which skipped work is retried later.
October 30, 2026 — Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy: texts you log. You can now paste a text a coach sent your player, or one your player sent a coach, onto the school's page, and §2 says what we keep (the words as you pasted them, the coach, the direction and the time; we do not ask for a phone number) and that our software reads a logged text as it reads stored mail, sending its words to our AI model provider. A promise in a text you sent becomes a to-do the way one in a sent email does, and §3 names logged texts among what we read to run Throughball for your family.
October 27, 2026 — Privacy Policy and Terms of Service
Privacy Policy and Terms of Service: First published version. This is the version in force when the first invited family's account opens. We wrote and rewrote both documents on this site before we invited anyone, so there is no earlier version a family agreed to. From here, each change we make is listed on this page, in plain words, with the date it takes effect.
