Game Cast

Privacy policy

Game Cast is a scorebook, live video and player-record app for youth baseball and softball. This page says what the app keeps about you and your family, why, who else sees it, and how to get rid of it.

Effective September 26, 2026. Game Cast is offered in the United States only and is written for United States law. Beta version; the policy will be updated before the app stores release. Game Cast is operated by the company being formed to own it; this page will name that company, and give its mailing address, before the app stores release.

What we collect

What	When	Why
Name, email address, phone number, password (stored hashed), account type	When you create an account	To sign you in, verify your email, and show your name to your team
Profile photo and a short bio	If you add them	Shown to your team; coaches and scouts are asked for a photo so families know who they are
Player records: first and last name, date of birth, jersey number, position, photo, bio, walk-up song choice, stats from scored games	When a coach adds a player or a parent claims one	The player's record across seasons; the date of birth decides whether a parent must hold the record
Which players you are a parent or guardian of	When you claim a player with the coach's code and the player's date of birth	To let you see and manage your child's record and receive alerts about them
Team memberships, follows, RSVPs, team messages, game chat	As you use them	To run the team
Game logs: every pitch and play, with the name of the account that entered it	When a game is scored	The team's record of the game; box scores and stats come from it
Live video and recordings of games, and clips cut from them	When a volunteer streams a game	Watching live and replays in the app; auto-clips of plays
A push-notification subscription for your device	If you turn on game alerts	To send you alerts about your player and games
Basic technical logs: IP address, browser, pages requested	Automatically, on the web server	Security and troubleshooting; kept a short time

Game Cast does not use advertising, tracking pixels or analytics networks, and does not sell or rent any of this.

Children

Many players are under 18, and some are under 13. Game Cast never collects information from a child directly. What we hold about a player under 13 (name, date of birth, jersey number, photo, stats) is provided by that child's parent or guardian, or by a coach with the permission parents give the league at registration. Records are created by a coach and held by a parent or guardian, who claims the record with a code from the coach plus the child's date of birth. Players 18 and older can hold their own record. Children under 13 never get accounts of their own; the app refuses them by date of birth, and a parent holds the record. Players 13 to 17 may open an account only with a parent's email, and the account does nothing until that parent approves it from their own account. A parent can see, edit or ask us to delete a child's record at any time from the player page or by contacting us, and can withdraw approval by asking us to delete the child's account.

Photos of players

Coaches add players' photos with the permission parents give the league at registration. Game Cast keeps its own record too: a parent or guardian is asked to consent, on their own account, to their child's name and photo being shown to the people connected to the team and in game video and clips. Until a parent has consented, a minor's photo is visible only to the team's coaches and to that child's parents or guardians; everyone else sees initials. A parent can withdraw consent from My account at any time. Any parent or legal guardian, whether or not they have a Game Cast account, may have their child's photo removed by emailing us; we do it promptly and confirm by reply.

Video

Live video is watched only inside Game Cast by people signed in and connected to the game. Streams are not public links. Recordings are kept for 90 days at most by the video service and are then deleted unless a clip has been saved from them. The person streaming is a volunteer from the team; recording a game at a public field is the team's decision, not ours.

Who else handles the data

Game Cast runs on our own servers in the United States. A small number of third-party service providers handle specific jobs on our behalf, and each sees only what that job needs:

Video hosting and delivery: live streams, recordings and clips.
Email delivery: verification codes and alert emails.
Speech synthesis: the announcer's audio clips. Player and team names are sent once to make those clips; nothing else is.
Music catalog search: walk-up song searches; the search terms go to the catalog provider.
Push notifications: game alerts travel through Apple's or Google's notification service for your phone.
Network security and content delivery: protecting the site and serving it quickly.

These providers are bound to use the data only to provide their service to us. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. If you want the names of the providers we use at any time, email us and we will tell you.

How long we keep it

Your account and profile: until you delete the account.
Player records: until a guardian or coach removes them. A record is kept when the account that claimed it is deleted, so the family and team do not lose the history.
Game logs: kept with the team. Names of who scored stay in the log.
Video: 90 days for recordings, unless clipped. Live streams are not kept beyond the recording.
Emails and sign-in codes: 15 minutes for codes; sent mail as long as the mail service keeps its delivery log.

Deleting your account

In the app: My account → Delete my account. We email you a six-digit code; enter it and the account is gone immediately. That removes your sign-in, profile, photo, memberships, follows, alerts, RSVPs, chat and team messages. Player records you claimed stay with the team and any other guardian; the scoring you entered stays in the game logs under your name. If you are the only coach of a team with other people on it, add another coach or delete the team first.

To delete a child's record, or if you cannot get into the account, email us and we will do it by hand.

Your choices

Alerts are off until you turn them on, and can be turned off in My account or in your phone's settings.
Photos and bios are optional except where the app says a photo is required for coaches and scouts.
Your child's photo shows beyond coaches and you only after you consent, and you can withdraw that consent in My account.
Walk-up songs are your choice and can be removed from the player page.

Security

Everything travels over HTTPS. Passwords are stored as one-way hashes. Sign-in tokens are hashed at rest and expire. Video plays only with a short-lived signed token issued to a signed-in member. The server keeps no card numbers; if Game Cast ever charges for anything, payment will be handled by a payment provider and not stored here.
