Draft privacy policy
Privacy and child data care.
This plain-English notice is written for UK parents using PB Pathway. It is an early access/private beta notice and must receive final legal review before wider production use.
What PB Pathway is
PB Pathway is a private parent workspace for tracking competitive swimming progress. Parents can manage swimmer profiles, race results, PBs, splits, qualifying progress, ranking context, reports, subscriptions and AI-assisted progress explanations.
Data we may collect
We may collect parent account details such as name, email address and sign-in information; swimmer profile data entered by the parent; race results, PBs, splits, notes and report content; subscription and billing status; support messages; and technical usage, security and diagnostic logs needed to operate and protect the service.
How swimmer data is handled
Swimmer data is managed by the parent account holder and is private by default. PB Pathway is not designed for discoverable child accounts. We aim to store only necessary swimmer information and to use age group or performance context where a full date of birth is not needed.
No public child profiles or social features
PB Pathway does not provide public swimmer profiles, public child leaderboards, social feeds, direct messaging, public comments or public report links. Reports are private inside the parent workspace unless a parent chooses to share exported information outside the app.
Why we use the data
We use data to provide the service, track swimmer progress, detect PBs, compare progress with qualifying standards where available, generate private reports, manage subscriptions, secure the service, support users, troubleshoot issues and improve the product.
Service providers
PB Pathway may use trusted processors and service providers at a high level, including Supabase for authentication and database services, Vercel for hosting, Stripe for payments and subscription management, and OpenAI where AI insight features are used.
Payments
Payment card details are handled by Stripe and are not stored directly by PB Pathway. PB Pathway may store subscription status, Stripe customer or subscription references and plan information so the app can apply Free or Pro Parent access correctly.
AI insights
“AI insights are based on the data entered into PB Pathway. They are for performance reflection only and do not replace advice from a qualified coach.” AI features should not be used for medical advice, injury diagnosis, unsafe training decisions or guaranteed performance outcomes.
Standards, rankings and data sources
Qualifying standards and ranking context may come from demo data, admin-entered data or imported reference data with source details where available. PB Pathway does not imply endorsement by Swim England, Scottish Swimming, Swim Wales, Swim Ireland, Aquatics GB, World Aquatics or any governing body.
Deletion and contact
Parents can ask for account or swimmer data deletion, correction or support by contacting support@swimrankiq.com. This contact address is a placeholder until final launch operations are confirmed.
