Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Seamrock is operated by Team Seamrock, Bengaluru, India. For anything about your privacy, contact us at team@seamrock.com.

2. Information we collect

Account information

• Email address and password when you create an account. Your password is stored by our authentication provider in hashed form; we never see it.
• Display name you choose. It appears on the leaderboard. We keep a history of name changes (old name, new name, date) to prevent impersonation and abuse.

Pitch results

• For each pitch you submit: sport (baseball or softball), measured and average speed, frame rate, the frames you marked, distance, and when it was recorded and submitted.

Videos

• Full recordings stay on your phone. They are stored in the app's private storage on your device and are not uploaded.
• Shared clips: only if a pitch ranks in the top 10 and you choose to share it, a short clip around the throw is uploaded so other players can watch it and the entry can be verified. You can always submit without a clip.

Verification information (only when you share a clip)

To keep the leaderboard honest, when you share a top-10 clip we also collect:

• Precise location where the clip was filmed (latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude and the town, region and country derived from it). Seamrock asks for location permission only at this moment, and only while you're using the app.
• Device details: device make and model, operating system and version, whether it's an emulator or a rooted/jailbroken device, and a device identifier provided by your phone's operating system for this app.
• Clip details: a checksum and size of the clip, and the original recording's time, frame rate, duration and resolution; app version; time zone and language setting.
• Network details: IP address and user agent at the time of upload.

Verification information is never shown to other players.

Reports and blocks

• If you report a leaderboard entry or block a player, we store the report (entry, reason, date) or the block.

App usage and diagnostics

• Usage analytics: which screens you open and key actions (for example signing up, recording or submitting a pitch, and the frame rate used), linked to your account ID, so we can understand how the app is used and improve it.
• Crash reports: technical details about errors, linked to your account ID, so we can fix bugs. These may include device and operating-system information and, as with any internet service, your IP address.

What we don't collect

• We don't use the microphone, your contacts or your photo library, and we don't track your location in the background.
• We don't show ads and we don't track you across other companies' apps or websites.

3. How we use information

• To run your account and show your results and display name on the leaderboard.
• To verify shared entries and detect cheating, fake or edited clips, and abuse.
• To review reports and enforce our Terms of Use.
• To send account emails (confirming your email address, resetting your password).
• To understand usage, fix crashes and improve the app.

We process your information to provide the service you asked for, with your consent (for example the location permission, which you can withdraw in your phone's settings), and for our legitimate interest in keeping Seamrock fair and working.

4. Who can see what

• Other signed-in players can see your display name, your submitted pitch results and, if you shared one, your clip. Your email address is never shown.
• Nobody else in the app can see your verification information, reports or blocks.

5. Service providers

We use trusted providers to run Seamrock. They process data on our behalf and only for these purposes:

These providers may store data on servers outside India, including in the United States. We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.

6. How long we keep it

• Account information, pitch results, shared clips, verification information, reports and blocks: until you delete your account.
• Recordings on your phone: until you delete them in the app, delete your account, or uninstall the app.
• Analytics and crash data: only as long as needed to improve the app. You can ask us to delete the data linked to your account ID.
• After deletion, copies may remain in encrypted backups for a short period before they are overwritten.

7. Your choices and rights

• Access and correction: you can see and change your display name in the app, and ask us for a copy of your data.
• Deletion: delete your account in the app (Profile, then Delete account) or follow the steps on our account deletion page.
• Location: you can deny or withdraw location permission in your phone's settings. You can still use Seamrock and submit pitches without a clip.
• Withdrawing consent and complaints: email team@seamrock.com. We reply within 30 days. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

These rights apply under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and, where they apply to you, other laws such as the GDPR.

8. Children

Seamrock is not directed at children under 13, and they should not use it. If you are under 18, use Seamrock only with the permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Security

Data is encrypted in transit, access to it is restricted by account, and shared clips are only available to signed-in players through short-lived links. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

10. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll update this page and its effective date, and tell you in the app when appropriate.
