12. Messaging and Notifications 

Best Athletes’ private messaging tools (“Best Athletes Messaging”) are available to Best Athletes subscribers. Messages may be between one sender and one or more recipients. Best Athletes Messaging enables users to have conversations with individual athletes and coaches, custom groups, or the whole team on the same Best Athletes roster. Best Athletes Messaging is intended for use that includes, but is not limited to, sending reminders about practice times, requesting feedback from the team, discussing game strategy, or sharing links to training resources.

When a message is sent, all participants in the conversation (except the sender) receive a notification within HuBest Athletesdl Messaging that they have a new unread message.

Once a message is deleted from the sender’s personal account, it is deleted from the recipient(s’) account(s) as well. Neither the recipient nor the sender is then able to see the message. Once the message is deleted, the action cannot be undone. Any information the sender submits through messaging, however, may be passed along by the recipient without the sender’s knowledge. This may occur by forwarding the notification email or text, or capturing and forwarding a screenshot of the message(s) prior to deletion.

Best Athletes supports the privacy and competitiveness of teams by requiring authentication to view the messages and files shared within a specific team. Best Athletes reserves the right, but is not obligated to, disclose any information if, in its sole opinion, Best Athletes suspects or has reason to suspect that the information involves a party who may be the victim of harassment in any form. Information may be disclosed to authorities that Best Athletes, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate to handle such disclosure. Appropriate authorities may include, without limitation, law enforcement agencies, child protection agencies, or court officials. Additionally, Best Athletes reserves the right to divulge the contents of a communication to an addressee or intended recipient of such communication. Given this, even if both the sender and recipient(s) deleted their message(s), conversation(s) directed at either party may be provided to the individual at either party’s request. 

We may also use aggregated Messaging information for purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Best Athletes’ products, services, and customer communications. Best Athletes will not share with any partners any information provided via Messaging, except on aggregate, unless explicitly approved by the team admin. 

We reserve the right to access Messaging information when necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, including suspected fraud, harassment, and threats to the safety of any person, as well as violations of our Terms and Conditions of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

13. Retention of Personal Information

Your personal information will be retained for as long as it is necessary to carry out the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy (unless longer retention is required by applicable law). However, we will not retain any of your personal information beyond this period and the retention of your personal information will be subject to periodic review.
