1. Protecting Your Privacy, Our Top Priority
At Vistara Ventures LLC, your trust is our greatest asset. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and data security for athletes, coaches, parents, and tennis club administrators. Our commitment extends to ensuring your information is handled responsibly, securely, and transparently across our web platform and mobile applications. Whether you are an individual youth player, an elite academy coach, or a multi-location tennis organization, we prioritize your privacy.
2. What We Collect and How We Use It
A. Personal Information
This includes details such as your full name, email address, telephone number, user role (player, coach, parent, or club administrator), profile photo, and club affiliation provided when creating an account, onboarding, or interacting with our services.
B. Platform Usage & Telemetry Data
To continually enhance and maintain our platform, we gather technical diagnostics about how you interact with Tennigence, including authentication timestamps, active feature usage, device platform information (iOS, iPadOS, Web), and interface preferences.
C. Athletic, Development & Performance Data
Information you upload, record, or track within Tennigence remains your property. This includes:
Tennis rating identifiers and competition history (e.g., UTR, WTN, match scores, opponent notes, tiebreak outcomes).
Training reflections, player journal entries, physical exertion ratings, and readiness check-ins.
Coach assessments, technical stroke ratings, drill completion records, and challenge ladder standings.
D. Health & Fitness Metrics (Apple HealthKit Integration)
When explicitly authorized by you on supported iOS devices, Tennigence accesses select Apple Health data (such as resting heart rate, sleep duration, active steps, and workout energy). This data is processed locally and in encrypted cloud datastores exclusively to compute player readiness indices and athletic recovery recommendations. We never sell HealthKit data or use it for marketing or advertising purposes.
3. Third-Party AI Data Processing & Disclosures (Google Gemini)
To deliver interactive tennis coaching advice, stroke biomechanical feedback, nutritional recovery estimations, and our conversational assistant (Tenny), Tennigence integrates advanced artificial intelligence services provided by Google LLC (Google Gemini API).
Specific Features Utilizing Third-Party AI:
Tenny AI Assistant (Interactive Chat & Voice Dictation):
Data Processed: User-entered queries, current athletic context (e.g., training volume, recent match results, readiness scores), and user-recorded audio voice dictation (processed ephemerally for transcription).
Purpose: Provide instant tennis strategy guidance, schedule clarification, tactical adjustments, and mental performance coaching.
Stroke Biomechanical & Video Analysis:
Data Processed: User-uploaded short video recordings or keyframe sequences of tennis strokes (such as forehands, backhands, or serves).
Purpose: Analyze kinetic chain mechanics, ball contact timing, and preparatory footwork compared with professional reference kinematics.
Coaching Insights & Journal Synthesis:
Data Processed: Self-reported player journal entries, session reflections, and exertion ratings.
Purpose: Synthesize multi-week development trends to assist coaches and parents in identifying fatigue patterns and training priorities.
Nutrition & Meal Logging:
Data Processed: User-provided meal text descriptions or food photos.
Purpose: Estimate macronutrients, hydration guidelines, and nutritional recovery pacing for training and match days.
AI Data Safeguards & Guarantees:
Zero Foundation Model Training: Under Google Cloud Enterprise AI data commitments, customer data processed via the Gemini API is NOT used to train, retrain, or improve Google's public foundation models.
Strictly No Advertising: Your data is never sold, rented, or shared with third-party ad networks or data brokers.
Server-Side Security Proxy: AI requests are routed securely through our authenticated Cloud Run backend using TLS encryption. API keys and service credentials are never stored on client mobile devices.
Exclusion of Sensitive Data: Passwords, payment details, financial account numbers, and government-issued identification are strictly excluded from AI processing.
User Consent & Immediate Revocation:
Prior In-App Consent: Users are presented with an explicit AI disclosure before first interacting with Tenny AI and must provide affirmative consent.
Settings Management: You can review your consent status or revoke AI processing at any time via Settings > AI & Privacy within the app. Upon revocation, AI features are immediately deactivated and no data is transmitted to external AI endpoints.
4. Sharing Data Responsibly
Vistara Ventures LLC adheres to a strict policy of data protection and does not sell or rent your personal information to any third party. Data is only shared in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: Trusted cloud infrastructure vendors (e.g., Google Cloud Platform, Firebase) that support platform hosting, database encryption, and transactional communications. These partners operate under stringent confidentiality and data protection agreements.
Authorized Club Personnel: In institutional academy setups, a player's training logs, match evaluations, and attendance records are accessible by authorized coaches, academy directors, and linked parents within their specific club tenant.
Legal and Regulatory Authorities: When required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to enforce our terms and protect safety and rights.
Business Transitions: Should Vistara Ventures LLC undergo a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets, data transfer to the successor entity will be conducted securely and transparently under this Privacy Policy.
5. Your Data, Your Rights
We believe athletes, coaches, and parents should have complete control over their personal information:
Access & Portability: Review and download the athletic records, profile data, and match histories stored in your account.
Rectification: Edit personal details or correct inaccurate performance statistics directly within the application or by requesting updates through your club administrator.
Erasure ("Delete Account"): Request complete deletion of your account and associated personal data under applicable data privacy laws via the app settings or by contacting us.
Consent Withdrawal: Withdraw your consent for third-party AI processing or Apple Health data syncing at any time through in-app settings toggles.
Communications Preferences: Decline promotional announcements or non-essential email notifications while retaining essential security and club scheduling alerts.
6. Uncompromising Security Measures
Your data's safety is our paramount priority. Vistara Ventures LLC employs rigorous security protocols:
Encryption Everywhere: All sensitive information is encrypted in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS) and encrypted at rest within enterprise cloud datastores.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): We enforce strict multi-tenant row-level access controls ensuring that only authorized club staff, parents, and players can view designated metrics.
Routine Security Audits: Platform infrastructure undergoes continuous vulnerability assessments and monitoring to meet or exceed modern industry benchmarks.
7. Youth Athlete & Children's Privacy
Because Tennigence is widely utilized by junior tennis academies, protecting young athletes is central to our mission:
Accounts for minors under 13 are created with parental or academy director authorization.
Parental assessments and progress reports provide guardians with full transparency over their children's athletic development.
Minor athlete metrics are never commercialized, publicly exposed, or used for behavioral profiling.
8. Third-Party Links and External Resources
For your convenience and athletic development, Tennigence may display links or integrations with external tennis organizations (such as UTR Sports, ITF World Tennis Number, or tournament portals). Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy statements before providing personal data.
9. Staying Current with Policy Updates
As tennis technology, athletic science, and global privacy regulations evolve, Vistara Ventures LLC may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When material modifications occur, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and notify users via an in-app notice or email notification.
