We collect only what the experience needs.
This note explains what stays on your device, what newsletter signups, inquiries and contributor submissions send to GEN Tennis, and how previously submitted application records are handled. Coaching applications are closed.

Browser-based tools
The Development Assessment and 12-Week Pathway Planner calculate results in the browser. Their player-context inputs are not submitted to GEN Tennis or stored with early access applications. The Career Pathway Atlas uses published reference data and does not require personal inputs.
GEN Tennis records limited interaction events such as page viewed, tool started, tool completed, and brief copied. These events include the event name and Site path, not the assessment ratings, plan selections, names, emails, or development questions.
Previously submitted early-access applications
Early-access intake is closed. Previously submitted applications may contain the adult contact name and email, optional general location, role, preferred review format, broad age band, general playing or coaching context, the submitted development question, guardian confirmation, source path, date, and application status.
Any retained information is handled under the retention and access rules below. A previous application does not reserve a place or indicate that a program is active. GEN Tennis does not sell application data.
Young players and sensitive information
Parents and guardians may use GEN Tennis with younger players, including the development tools designed for ages four and up. Coaching applications are closed. Previous applications concerning minors were required to come from a parent or guardian, or a coach with guardian permission.
Do not submit a minor's full name, school name, video, medical information, or other sensitive personal information through GEN Tennis forms. The adult-only AI pilot has its own processing notice below and does not accept footage of minors.
Retention and access
Access to application records is limited to the people responsible for operating the program. Records are kept only as long as needed to review applications, provide the service, resolve issues, and meet applicable obligations. Deletion requests can be made from the adult contact email used to apply.
Previous coaching applications
Coached participation is not currently open, and new applications are not accepted. Previous application records remain private. Those records may contain your adult name, email, age band, city, tennis and sports experience, general weekly activity, objectives, practice commitments, availability, interest in the program, contact consent, date and application status. These details are retained under the access and retention rules above; they do not indicate an active program or reserved place. They are not sent to analytics, which records only action names and page paths.
The former Accelerate preparation and founding-cohort application pages are retired. Their previous records, if retained, remain subject to the same access and retention rules. No new coaching application, assessment booking or waitlist is available.
Newsletter, stories, partnerships and collection interest
Newsletter signups store your email, consent version and signup date. Story submissions add your name and response. Partnership inquiries add your organization and project note. Collection-interest submissions store your name, email, chosen artwork and item, and optional note; they do not create an order or collect payment. Story submissions may include a chosen editorial topic. These records go to the GEN Tennis owner for manual review. A submission is acknowledged on screen; it does not send an automated email or automatically publish your contribution.
Story publication requires separate permission and agreed attribution. We do not request uploads or child-identifying information. Request deletion or withdraw newsletter consent through the GEN Tennis contact form, using the same contact email and identifying your request. Marketing email will include a way to unsubscribe before mailing begins.
The practice planner and junior budget worksheet calculate on this device. Optional local saving keeps one plan or budget in this browser, with no cloud synchronization. Clear your browser’s site data to remove it. Analytics records action names and routes, not costs, practice choices or form contents.
AI Tennis Check — currently unavailable
The pilot is paused. Clip preparation and AI review requests are not available. The implementation is retained, but no AI review can be requested while paused.
Clip preparation happens on your device. GEN Tennis receives no video or frames unless AI feedback is activated and you separately consent and request it. The pilot accepts only your own adult footage with no other people visible. No child footage is accepted.
When activated, nine JPEG frames, frame timestamps, and your stroke choice pass through GEN Tennis to OpenAI for an educational review. The original video and audio are not uploaded. We do not save frames, videos, or reports to our database or file storage; your on-page copy disappears when removed or the page is reloaded. Removing it does not reverse an already completed transmission.
OpenAI API data is not used for model training by default. Abuse-monitoring retention is normally up to 30 days, with exceptions described in OpenAI’s data controls. We do not claim zero retention by the provider.
Sign-in is required for active AI requests. We use the authenticated email to derive a keyed, non-public usage identifier, then store only the identifier, date, and attempt count for rate limiting. Counters older than seven days are removed when another review request is handled. We do not send your email to the AI model. There is no dataset aggregation, player ranking, or model training in this pilot.
Local tennis interest
We store your name, email, selected city, general area, playing interests, experience, availability or note, adult confirmation through the consent version, and submission date. These details are used to understand local demand and contact you about relevant community development. They are not published or shared with other players without separate permission. The directory links to independent services with their own terms and privacy practices.
Local interest is not a public profile, membership, match, or booking. Request deletion or withdraw contact consent using the contact form and the email you used to register.
Contributor submissions
Approved contributors may submit post or document links, article text, notes, sponsorship disclosures, and publication-permission confirmations. Initial contributor setup records a name, profile link, editorial category, and confirmation that an invitation was accepted. Contributions are as available, with no publishing schedule. Each piece records separate permission for embedding original content, reproducing specified images or videos, and publishing article text. An optional biography is displayed only when approved for that piece. Existing private contact details and agreement records remain protected alongside review notes and submission status. These records are accessible to the GEN Tennis owner and authorized editorial review tools. Only approved publication content, agreed credit, biography and profile links appear publicly.
Personal submission links grant submission access only. A link token may remain in the current browser tab’s session storage so the form works after a refresh; only a hash is stored on our server. GEN Tennis can revoke or replace the link. Do not share it with others. We do not send an automatic email when you submit.
Editorial review may use AI-assisted tools to process submitted material. Publication requires an owner decision. Instagram and YouTube embeds connect to those services only when you choose to load them; their privacy practices apply. Ask to correct or remove a contribution through your established GEN Tennis contact or the contact form.
Changes to this notice
If GEN Tennis introduces accounts, persistent player records, video, payments, coach profiles, or connected AI services, this notice will be updated before those features begin collecting additional information.
