Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, including name, email, profile information, and payment details when you subscribe to premium features. We also collect competition and practice data such as run times, catch types at both ends, barrier margins, event entries, classifications and their history, horse records, steer records, location data (GPS), and app interactions.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide and improve our services, match partners, validate entry eligibility, process entries and transactions, send notifications about draws, results, and events, personalize your experience, and provide location-based features such as weather, arena finding, and nearby roping discovery. We never sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Partner Matching Data
To match partners we use your classification and end, the divisions you want to enter, your travel radius and home arena, practice availability, horsepower and hauling information, style tags, and your prior matchup history where you have roped with someone before. Compatibility scores are shown to other users broken out by component. You control your partner profile and can set yourself as not open to new partners at any time, which removes you from browse and matching. Partner ratings others leave about you are visible to you.
4. Users Under 18
Team roping has a large youth population through junior cards, high school and college rodeo, and we apply additional protections by default. Profiles for users under 18 default to followers-only visibility. Location precision for minors is never shown below city level. Adults cannot direct message a minor, and minors cannot receive partner requests from adults, outside of an established school, barn, or mentor relationship, and those relationships carry guardian visibility. Photo and video sharing for minors is controlled by a guardian setting on the account. A minor's recruiting profile does not become public automatically upon turning 18 — that requires an explicit action by the account holder.
5. Classification Data
We store the header and heeler classifications we hold for you, their source (Global Handicaps, a producer, or self-reported), when they were verified, and their change history. Classification history is append-only, so a number that moves keeps its prior record. Your classification is visible to other users, because it is the basis of every eligibility check and partner match in the app, and misrepresenting it is a major offense under association rules.
6. Location Data
We collect GPS location data to provide weather information, severe weather alerts, arena and roping discovery, partner matching by travel radius, route planning, and hauling features. You can disable location services at any time through your device settings, though some features will be limited. For accounts belonging to minors, location is never displayed to other users below city level regardless of device settings.
7. Practice Data vs. Official Results
Runs you record yourself are stored as practice data and are clearly labeled as hand-timed. Practice data is never merged into official results, standings, or public leaderboards. Official results originate from event producers and sanctioning bodies.
8. Photos, Video, and Run Analysis
Video you upload for run analysis is stored securely and processed to produce coaching metrics such as barrier margin, delivery frames, crossfire margin, handle quality, and catch classification. You control whether analyzed runs are shared. Because a team roping run has two contestants, an analyzed run may include your partner — sharing controls respect both accounts. For accounts belonging to minors, guardian controls apply to all media sharing.
9. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption. We use Supabase for database management and authentication, and Stripe for payment processing, both of which maintain strict security standards.
10. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. You can export your data or request account deletion in the app, or by contacting support@teamrope.pro. Guardians may exercise these rights on behalf of a minor.
11. Third-Party Services
We integrate with third-party services including payment processors (Stripe), mapping and places services (Google Maps), weather APIs, push notification providers, analytics providers, and cloud storage. These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data.
12. Blocking, Reporting, and Moderation
Block, report, and mute are available on every account from launch and apply to partner requests as well as messages and posts. Report categories include harassment and unwanted contact specifically. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team, and reported content may be retained for the duration of an investigation and any subsequent enforcement.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the product develops. Material changes will be communicated in the app and by email to the address on your account.
