INSIDE THE ROPES RECRUITING
Effective Date: August 25th, 2026
Privacy Policy
1. OVERVIEW
This Privacy Policy explains how Inside The Ropes Recruiting, may collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information in connection with our website, consultations, recruiting services, communications, and related business activities.
2. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
· Contact information, such as name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and parent/guardian contact information.
· Student-Athlete information, such as graduation year, school, location, age/date of birth, golf profile, handicap, scoring information, rankings, tournament results, statistics, athletic history, intended major, and recruiting preferences.
· Academic information voluntarily provided for recruiting purposes, such as GPA, test scores, academic interests, and related recruiting information.
· Recruiting media, including swing videos, short-game videos, photographs, resumes, and other content supplied for recruiting purposes.
· Communications with us, including emails, forms, consultation notes, messages, and service-related communications.
· Transaction information relating to services purchased. Payment card information should generally be processed by a third-party payment processor rather than stored directly by Inside The Ropes.
· Website and device information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, cookies, and website usage information, depending on the technologies actually used on the website.
3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION
· Respond to inquiries and schedule consultations.
· Provide recruiting consulting services.
· Develop recruiting materials and target-school strategies.
· Communicate with Student-Athletes, parents/guardians, and clients.
· Share authorized recruiting information with college coaches and programs.
· Administer accounts, invoices, payments, records, and customer support.
· Maintain and improve our website and services.
· Protect against fraud, misuse, security incidents, or legal claims.
· Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or recordkeeping obligations.
· Send marketing communications where permitted and subject to applicable opt-out rights.
4. INFORMATION ABOUT MINORS
Inside The Ropes provides services that may involve Student-Athletes under 18. Paid recruiting services for a minor require parent or legal guardian involvement and authorization.
We do not intend to knowingly enter into paid recruiting-service agreements solely with a minor without appropriate parent or guardian authorization.
Parents and legal guardians may contact us regarding personal information submitted about their minor child, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping obligations.
5. RECRUITING-RELATED DISCLOSURES
When a Client authorizes recruiting services, we may share recruiting information with colleges, coaches, athletic departments, and related recruiting contacts for the purpose of assisting the Student-Athlete’s college recruitment.
The categories of information shared may include the Student-Athlete’s name, graduation year, school, contact information, golf resume, tournament results, statistics, handicap, rankings, videos, academic information voluntarily supplied for recruiting use, and other information reasonably necessary for recruiting. We do not intentionally sell any Student-Athlete’s nonpublic personal information to unrelated third parties for unrelated advertising purposes.
6. SERVICE PROVIDERS
We may use third-party service providers to support our business, such as website hosting providers, customer-management tools, email providers, scheduling services, cloud-storage providers, analytics providers, electronic-signature services, and payment processors.
These providers may process information on our behalf subject to their own contracts and privacy/security practices. Before publication, this section should be updated to identify material categories actually used by the business.
7. PAYMENT INFORMATION
If you purchase services online, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment processor. Inside The Ropes should avoid storing full payment-card numbers unless there is a specific business need and appropriate payment-security controls are in place.
8. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
The website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, preferences, security, or marketing, depending on the tools actually installed.
Before publication, this section should be matched to the website’s real cookie, analytics, advertising, and tracking configuration and any consent banner or opt-out mechanism required by applicable law.
9. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
We may send marketing communications where permitted by law. Recipients may opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message or contacting us. Service-related communications may still be sent when necessary to administer an active client relationship.
10. MEDIA, TESTIMONIALS, AND PUBLICITY
We will not treat acceptance of recruiting services as automatic permission to use a Student-Athlete’s name, image, likeness, testimonial, commitment announcement, or recruiting success for public advertising. Separate permission should be obtained before promotional use, and parent/guardian authorization should be obtained for minors.
11. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to provide services, maintain business and tax records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable law.
Before publication, Inside The Ropes should adopt a practical internal retention schedule for inactive leads, former clients, recruiting materials, payment records, and minor-related data.
12. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission, email system, cloud service, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Clients should avoid sending highly sensitive information that is not reasonably necessary for recruiting services.
13. YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS
Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or certain uses/disclosures of personal information.
To make a privacy request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify the requester’s identity or authority before fulfilling a request, and some information may be retained where permitted or required by law.
14. STATE-SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS
Privacy rights vary by state and may change over time. Because Inside The Ropes intends to serve families nationwide, counsel should determine whether state-specific notices, consumer-request procedures, sensitive-data consents, appeal rights, or other supplements are required based on the business’s size, data practices, and legal thresholds.
15. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
Our website and communications may contain links to colleges, governing organizations, tournament sites, payment processors, social-media services, or other third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
16. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version should display an effective date. Material changes should be posted or communicated when appropriate.
