Privacy policy

94 Network (“94”, “we”, “us”) is an online network for basketball: players, coaches, agents, clubs and scouts. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy. For the purposes of the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation we are the controller of that information.

We serve members around the world, so this policy is written to meet the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the EU GDPR, and US state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act. Where a law gives you more rights than this policy describes, you have those rights.

Questions, requests or complaints: privacy@94network.com.

Information you give us

• Account: your name, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider), the role you join as, and your date of birth.
• Date of birth: we use it to confirm you are 18 or over. For players we keep it so your profile can show your age (never the date itself). For other roles we check it at sign-up and don’t store it.
• Profile: anything you add, such as your photo, headline, bio, location and country, positions, height, wingspan, weight, dominant hand, passports, contract status and availability, the regions you’d play in, your agent, your career history and season stats, links to highlight videos, and your Instagram, X, YouTube and LinkedIn if you add them.
• Private player details: a salary band and private notes, if you add them.
• Activity: posts, photos, comments and likes; Team Up requests and teammates; messages; applications to roles and any cover note; shortlists and searches you save.
• Signings: signings you announce or are named in (the player, the club, the season, league and country, and any note). They are public on the signings wire. If you’re named in one someone else announced, you can decline it and it comes off the wire.
• Clubs and agencies: the organisation’s details, its staff and their roles, the roles it posts, and its notes on applicants.
• Verification: what you send with a request (a note, a link, an agent licence number and issuer) and, for identity checks, a photo of your ID that you email to us.
• Waitlist: your email, the role you’d join as, and optionally your name and where you’re based.
• Messages to us: anything you send when you contact us.

Information collected automatically

• Sign-in cookies: small cookies that keep you signed in. They are strictly necessary, so we don’t ask for consent to use them.
• Profile views: when you’re signed in and open someone’s profile, we record that you viewed it, on which day, and the role you joined as. They can see your name, headline and club in “Who viewed your profile”, unless you turn on Browse privately, in which case they see only your role (for example “an agent”). While it’s on, you can’t see who viewed you either. Signed-out visits aren’t recorded.
• Technical logs: our hosting and database providers keep standard logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) to run the service and keep it secure.
• Error reports and usage counts: when something breaks, we record what went wrong (the page, your browser and device type, and your member id if you’re signed in, but not your name, email, IP address or what you typed). We also count page views and how fast pages load, without cookies and without identifying you.

We don’t use advertising or analytics cookies, and we don’t track you across other websites.

Information from others

Other members may add information about you: a club noting your application, an agent listing you as a client, or a teammate mentioning you in a post. When we verify stats, clubs or licences we may check public sources such as league websites and licensing registers.

94 is a public network, because being found is the point. Please think about what you add.

Our staff can access information when they need to: to verify you, answer a request, investigate a report of abuse, keep the service secure, or meet a legal obligation. We don’t read your messages otherwise.

• To run your account and the network: showing your profile, delivering messages and applications, and letting clubs search for players. We need to do this to provide the service you signed up for (under GDPR, performance of a contract).
• To keep 94 safe and trustworthy: checking ages, verifying identities, licences, clubs and stats, preventing fake accounts, spam and abuse, and securing our systems. These are our legitimate interests, and yours, in a network people can trust.
• To email you about your account and activity, such as confirmations, password resets and verification. Launch news goes only to people who asked for it on the waitlist (consent), and you can ask us to stop at any time.
• To improve 94, using information about how the service is used, in our legitimate interests.
• To meet legal obligations, and to establish or defend legal claims.

We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it for targeted advertising. We don’t make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects. Search results are ranked automatically, but clubs make their own decisions.

We use a small number of service providers who process information for us, under contracts that require them to protect it:

• Supabase, for our database, sign-in and file storage (servers in the United States).
• Vercel, which hosts the website and counts page views and loading speed.
• Resend, which sends our emails.
• Sentry, which records errors so we can fix them.
• Anthropic, which translates text when you press Translate. We send only the text being translated, never who wrote it. Translations of public text are kept so they can be shown again; translations of messages are not kept.
• Our email provider, for messages you send us, including verification emails.

When you play a highlight video, it loads from the site that hosts it, such as YouTube (in its privacy-enhanced mode) or Vimeo, and that site’s own privacy policy applies. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect someone’s safety, or as part of a merger or sale of our business, in which case this policy would continue to apply.

We store information in the United States and our providers may process it in other countries. When we transfer personal information out of the UK, the EU or Australia, we rely on safeguards the law recognises, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and we take reasonable steps to make sure overseas recipients handle it in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.

• Your account and profile: for as long as you have an account. You can delete it yourself at any time from Edit profile, or by emailing us. It is hidden from everyone straight away, you can restore it by signing in within 14 days, and after that it is deleted for good, along with your uploaded photos. It leaves our backups within a further 30 days.
• Posts, comments, messages and applications: deleted with your account. Deleting your account also removes your conversations for the people you were messaging.
• ID photos sent for verification: deleted once we’ve made a decision. We keep only the result: that you were verified, when, and by whom.
• Profile views: 180 days, then deleted automatically. They’re also deleted with either account.
• Waitlist entries: until we launch and have told you, or until you ask us to remove you.
• Technical logs: for the periods our providers keep them, usually no more than 90 days.

We may keep information longer where the law requires it or to resolve a dispute.

You can edit or remove most of your information yourself, at any time, from Edit profile, and delete your whole account from the bottom of that page. You can also ask us to:

• give you a copy of your personal information, in a portable format;
• correct information that is wrong;
• delete your account and information;
• restrict or object to how we use it, including anything based on our legitimate interests;
• stop emails you consented to (withdrawing consent doesn’t affect what we did before).

Email privacy@94network.com from the address on your account. We’ll reply within one month (45 days for requests under US state laws), may need to confirm it’s you, and won’t charge you or treat you differently for asking. You can use an authorised agent where the law allows it.

If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, please tell us first. You can also complain to your privacy regulator:

• Australia: the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner
• UK: the Information Commissioner’s Office
• EU: the data protection authority in the country where you live or work (list of authorities)
• US: your state attorney general

94 Network is for people aged 18 and over. We check age at sign-up and don’t knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you believe someone under 18 has joined, email privacy@94network.com and we’ll remove the account.

Information is encrypted in transit, passwords are stored as hashes, and access in our database is limited so members see only what this policy describes. No service is perfectly secure, so use a strong, unique password. If a breach is likely to put you at risk, we’ll tell you and the regulators as the law requires.

We’ll update this policy as 94 grows, for example when we launch paid plans or email notifications. If a change is significant we’ll tell you by email or on the site before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version. See also our terms of use.
