  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We share information with the following categories of third-party service providers, solely to operate and deliver the Service:

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or your lead/contact data to third parties. We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or government request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Courtside AI, our users, or the public.

5. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Specific retention periods:

6. Your Rights

6.1 General Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing activities
  • Request data portability
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

6.2 PIPEDA (Canada)

If you are located in Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) provides you with rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, and challenge compliance. We collect, use, and disclose personal information only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate, and we obtain meaningful consent for the collection and use of personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@court-side.ai. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest
  • Row-Level Security (RLS) policies to enforce strict tenant isolation — each organization's data is accessible only to its authorized members
  • Access controls and role-based permissions
  • Regular security reviews and monitoring
  • Secure credential management via environment variables and vault storage

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Lead & Contact Data Responsibility

For lead and contact data uploaded by users, Courtside AI acts as a data processor. You, the user, are the data controller.

This means:

  • You are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis (e.g., consent) to collect, store, and use the personal information of your leads and contacts
  • You are responsible for providing any required privacy notices to your contacts
  • You are responsible for responding to data subject access requests from your contacts
  • Courtside AI processes lead/contact data only on your instructions and solely to provide the Service

9. Call Recordings & Transcripts

Call recordings and transcripts are generated by our voice AI partner, Retell AI, and stored within the Courtside AI platform. You are responsible for:

  • Disclosing to call recipients that calls may be recorded, where required by applicable law (many jurisdictions require all-party or one-party consent for recording)
  • Disclosing that the caller is an AI agent, where required by applicable law
  • Ensuring that call recordings are used in compliance with all applicable privacy and data protection laws

Call recordings, transcripts, and AI-generated analysis are accessible only to authorized members of your organization within the Service.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

11. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Canada, the United States, or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws. We take steps to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of material changes via email or in-app notification. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the Policy was last revised. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the changes.
