Privacy policy
Last updated October 14, 2026
Persistent Player ("we," "us") helps high school athletes and their families with college sports recruiting. This policy explains what we collect when you use persistentplayer.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
What we collect
- Information you give us: the athlete's first name, sport, position, grad year, state, team level, stats, grades, test scores, video links and goals, and the parent or guardian's name, email and (optionally) mobile number.
- How you found us: the answer you choose, plus any tracking tags in the link you clicked (for example, utm_source=instagram).
- Basic technical data that web hosts collect automatically, such as browser type and pages visited.
How we use it
- To write and email your free Recruiting Snapshot. Snapshots are drafted with the help of an AI service, which receives the athlete details you submit.
- To follow up by email with recruiting tips and information about our services. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
- To send text messages, only if you checked the box agreeing to them.
- To improve our service and understand which outreach works.
Text messages
If you opt in, we may send up to 4 recruiting tips and updates a month. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop at any time, or HELP for help. Agreeing to texts is never required to get a snapshot or buy anything. We do not share your mobile number or text opt-in with third parties for their marketing.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your information. We share it only with service providers that help us run Persistent Player, such as our form, spreadsheet, automation, AI, email and texting tools, and only so they can do that work for us. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Athletes under 18
Our service is meant for parents and guardians acting for their athletes, and for athletes who share information with a parent's knowledge. We always send snapshots to a parent or guardian email. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information, email us and we will delete it.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from emails using the link in any email.
- Stop texts by replying STOP.
- Ask us to see, correct or delete your information by emailing hello@persistentplayer.com. California residents may have additional rights under state law, and we honor those requests.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your athlete is in the recruiting process and for up to two years after their grad year, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
Security
We use reputable service providers and limit access to the people who need it. No online system is perfectly secure, so please don't share sensitive information like Social Security numbers in our form.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
