Youth Privacy

Children's Privacy and COPPA Compliance
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without authorization and supervision from an adult leader or parent/guardian. Youth access is managed and approved by organizational leadership. If we become aware that information has been collected from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to remove that information.
How We Use Information
We use collected information only to:
- Authenticate users
- Associate users with their organization and role
- Display inspection history, activity tracking, and reports
- Maintain system integrity, security, and functionality
We do not use personal information for advertising, profiling, or data sales.
Data Storage and Processing
Authentication and data storage are provided by Supabase, a third-party service provider. Data is stored securely and accessed only by authorized users within an organization. Administrative functions are restricted to designated adult roles.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect user data. However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users and organization administrators are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of login credentials and ensuring that only authorized individuals have access.
Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal information. Information may be shared only:
- With trusted service providers such as Supabase for authentication and hosting
- When required by law or legal process
Data Retention
Data is retained only as long as organizational and user accounts remain active. Authorized administrators may remove users and revoke access at any time.
User Responsibility
Organizational leaders and administrators are responsible for managing user access and ensuring that only authorized individuals, including youth members under appropriate supervision, are permitted to use the platform.
Your Choices
Users may update their display name or profile information. Users may also request account removal through their organization's leadership.
Service Availability
This application is provided on an “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. Temporary outages, maintenance, or third-party service interruptions may occur.

We may update this Privacy Policy as the platform evolves. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
