Privacy Policy

Introduction

SEAMS LLC ("SEAMS," "we," "us," or "our") operates seamssocial.com and the SEAMS mobile application (the "Platform"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information about you when you use the Platform.

SEAMS is committed to protecting the privacy of all users, especially minors. Because the Platform is available to users as young as 11 years old, we have implemented specific protections for children in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable state laws.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Platform, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

3.4 Business Transfers

If SEAMS is acquired, merged with, or sold to another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. COPPA — Children Under 13

4.1 Verifiable Parental Consent

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If a user indicates during registration that they are under 13, we will:

• Pause account creation and require a parent or guardian email address
• Send a consent request to the parent or guardian with a description of our data practices
• Not activate the account until we receive verifiable parental consent

4.2 What We Collect From Children Under 13

With verifiable parental consent, we collect only the information necessary to provide the Platform:

• Name and username
• Email address (the parent's email for account communications)
• Date of birth
• Athletic profile information (position, school, graduation year, statistics)
• Video content uploaded by the child

We do not use personal information from users under 13 for targeted advertising, and we do not share it with third parties except as necessary to operate the Platform or as required by law.

4.3 Parental Rights

Parents and legal guardians have the right to:

• Review the personal information we have collected about their child
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of their child's account and all associated data
• Withdraw consent and stop further collection of their child's information

To exercise these rights, contact privacy@seamssocial.com. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Platform. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

Video content associated with a deleted account will be removed from the Platform. We may retain anonymized usage data that cannot be linked back to you.

6. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at security@seamssocial.com.
