Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

The League Tool ("we", "us", or "our") is a sports league management website operated by The League Tool LLC, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our website is located at www.theleaguetool.com. The site provides tools for league organizers, teams, players, parents, coaches, and visitors who want to create schedules, manage standings, view public league pages, use roster tools, access sports forms, and follow local sports information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when someone visits the website, creates an account, submits a league listing, contacts us, uses a public tool, or views public league information.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when you use The League Tool. This may include:

• Account information, such as your email address and password when you create a free account.
• League information, such as league names, team names, sport type, venues, schedules, standings, scores, rosters, playoff details, and other information entered into the tools.
• Contact information, such as your name, email address, phone number, message, sponsor request, advertising request, or league directory submission.
• Public listing information, such as league descriptions, logos, locations, websites, social links, and details submitted for public league or directory pages.
• Support information, such as questions, feedback, screenshots, or other details you send when asking for help.

We may also collect basic technical information automatically when you visit the site, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referral information, and general usage activity. This helps us understand how the site is used, improve performance, and protect the website from abuse.

3. Public League Information

The League Tool includes public-facing league pages and directory features. Information entered for a public league, team, schedule, roster, score, sponsor placement, or league listing may be visible to visitors if the league or page is published publicly. League organizers should only enter information they are allowed to share.

If a league includes player names, photos, numbers, statistics, or team information, the person submitting that information is responsible for making sure it is appropriate to publish. If you believe public information should be corrected or removed, contact us using the email listed below.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use information collected through The League Tool to:

• Provide and improve the website, tools, public league pages, schedules, standings, rosters, forms, directory listings, and support features.
• Save league data and account data for users who choose to sign in and store their work.
• Respond to contact messages, support questions, sponsor requests, advertising requests, and directory submissions.
• Display public league information that organizers choose to publish.
• Maintain site security, prevent misuse, troubleshoot errors, and improve site performance.
• Review how visitors use the site so we can make the tools easier to understand and use.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our site terms when necessary.

5. Data Storage and Security

Account data and saved league information may be stored using trusted third-party services, including Supabase for authentication and database storage. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to help protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

No website, database, or internet transmission is completely secure. While we work to protect the information submitted to The League Tool, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Users should protect their account login information and avoid sharing private information inside public league pages.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for unrelated marketing purposes.

6. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Tools

The League Tool may use cookies, local browser storage, and similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember site preferences, operate tools, improve performance, and understand general site usage. You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings, but some features may not work correctly after doing so.

If advertising or analytics services are active on the site, those services may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies. This may include Google services used for advertising, measurement, fraud prevention, or site performance review.

7. Third-Party Services

The League Tool may use third-party services that help operate the website and provide useful features. These services may include:

• Supabase, for account authentication, saved league data, and database storage.
• Google Fonts, for website typography and visual presentation.
• Google AdSense or Google advertising services, if advertising is active on the site.
• Google Analytics or similar analytics tools, if analytics are active on the site.
• RSS news feeds or content sources, for sports news and public information sections.
• Hosting and security providers, for website delivery, storage, uptime, and protection.

Third-party services have their own privacy practices. We do not control how those providers handle information outside of our website.

8. Advertising

The League Tool may display advertising, sponsor information, partner spotlight sections, or promotional placements. Some ads may be managed directly by the site, and some may be served through third-party advertising providers such as Google AdSense if enabled.

Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to help deliver, measure, and protect ads. Visitors can manage cookie and advertising preferences through their browser settings and through any controls provided by the advertising provider.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You may contact us to request help with account information, saved league data, public league information, or directory information connected to The League Tool. Depending on the request and the information involved, you may ask us to:

• Access information connected to your account or submission.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Delete account information or saved league information where possible.
• Remove or update public league, team, roster, sponsor, or directory information where appropriate.
• Opt out of non-essential communications from us.

To make a request, contact us at info@theleaguetool.com. We may need to verify that you are authorized to request changes to certain league or account information.

10. Children's Privacy

The League Tool is intended for use by league organizers, adults, coaches, administrators, parents, and general sports community visitors. The website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

Because sports leagues may involve youth teams, organizers should be careful when entering public roster, player, photo, or statistics information. If you believe information about a child has been submitted in a way that should be corrected or removed, contact us as soon as possible.

11. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the website, support saved tools, maintain public league pages, respond to requests, improve the platform, comply with legal obligations, or protect the site. Public league information may remain visible until it is removed by an authorized user or by us after a valid request.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the website, tools, advertising setup, or legal requirements change. When we update the policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of The League Tool after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
