Section 5
Security
Routine implements reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Access to personal information is limited to authorized personnel with a legitimate need. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
Section 6
Age and COPPA Compliance
The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will delete it promptly.
Users between 13 and 17 may use the Services with verified parental or legal guardian consent. Parents and guardians may contact us to review, correct, or delete their child's account information.
Claims related to COPPA or other federal statutes governing the privacy of minors are not subject to any contractual limitation period under our Terms of Service.
Section 7
Messaging and Content Monitoring
Messages sent through the platform are intended for sports-related communication. Routine may retain messages as necessary for safety, legal compliance, and enforcement of our Terms.
Routine reserves the right - but not the obligation - to monitor communications where there is a reasonable basis to believe a safety, legal, or policy concern exists. Users consent to this limited monitoring by using the messaging features of the Services.
Routine may disclose message content to law enforcement where required by law or where necessary to prevent imminent harm, particularly involving minors.
Exploitative or harmful conduct involving minors is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account suspension and referral to appropriate authorities.

Payment processors operate under their own privacy policies and security standards.

Creators retain ownership of their content. Routine's license to use Creator content is limited to hosting, storing, reproducing, transmitting, and displaying content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Services, as described in Section 11 of the Terms of Service.
Routine will not use Creator content in external advertising, paid marketing campaigns, or promotional materials without the Creator's separate written consent.
Section 10
Analytics and AI Use
Routine may use anonymized and aggregated data derived from platform usage to improve features, train internal models, and generate product analytics. This data does not identify individual users.
