6. Children's Privacy
Gridlock NY is a youth sports platform designed for use by families. Players under the age of 13 must have a parent or guardian create and manage their account. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without consent, please contact us at info@gridlockny.com and we will delete that information promptly.

8. Photos and Media
Photos and videos you upload to the App are stored in our secure cloud storage. Media shared in team feeds is visible to team members only. You retain ownership of any content you upload. By uploading content, you grant Gridlock NY a limited license to display that content within the App.
9. Third-Party Authentication
You may sign in using your Google account. In this case, Google shares your name, email address, and profile picture with us. We do not receive your Google password. Your use of Google Sign-In is also subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy in the App and updating the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
