Terms of Service

These terms cover your use of Dangle Labs, a service that turns youth hockey game video into film a team can actually use. They are shown to you when you first sign in, and again whenever they change. By selecting Agree and continue on that screen you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not select it, and tell your coach so that your family's film is not shared with you.

Plain summary, which the rest of this page says again more carefully: your team's game video comes to us, the service analyses it, and the team's coaches mark it up. You get to watch your own child's hockey. We don't sell personal data, and we do not show advertising.

Who may hold an account

An account belongs to one adult. Parents and guardians hold their own accounts; coaches, team managers and organization administrators hold theirs.

• You must be 18 or older to hold an account.
• We don't offer child accounts, and players under 13 never have one. Invitations must go to a parent or guardian, who holds the account and decides what to show their child.
• Your account is yours. Do not share your password, and treat the sign-in links we email you as you would treat a password: anyone holding one can see what you can see, until it is used or expires.
• Tell us at privacy@danglelabs.com if you think somebody else has used your account or a link we sent you.

What the service does

A coach records a game through the rink's camera system and uploads the video, or we obtain it from the rink's camera service on the team's behalf. The service then reads the scoreboard, finds the players, and builds the clips, shifts and summaries the team looks at afterwards.

What a family sees: every family on a team sees the team's games, and goals and assists with the players' first names and numbers. Ice time, shifts and plus-minus are shown only to that child's own family and to the team's coaches.

Automated analysis is approximate. The clock, the score, the shift boundaries and anything counted from them are read from video by software and are wrong sometimes. They are a coaching aid and a keepsake, not an official record of a game, and nothing here is scouting advice or a measure of a child's ability.

The film, and who it belongs to

The organization whose games are filmed is responsible for having the right to record them and share the video, including whatever permission its league, its rink and its families require. Before any player is added or any video is uploaded, an administrator of the organization confirms to us, once, that the organization has its families' permission to film and to add players. We process the video on the organization's behalf and show it only to the people the organization's own roles name.

• We claim no ownership of an organization's video, rosters or annotations.
• Game video, including the players from other teams who appear in it, may be used to improve our analysis. It is not shared or sold.
• An organization may ask for its film and data to be deleted. A parent may ask for their own account to be deleted, and for their child's record to be made anonymous. What each of those does is in our privacy notice.

How you may use it

• Watch your own family's film, and share it inside your own family.
• Do not post another family's child anywhere, and do not share film or links outside the people the organization meant them for. A link you forward works for whoever receives it until it expires.
• Do not try to reach another family's or another organization's data, do not attempt to defeat the access rules, and do not scrape, resell or republish the service.
• Do not upload anything you do not have the right to upload.

If you break these rules we may suspend or remove an account, and we will tell the organization why.

What it costs

Parents never pay. An organization pays per team per season; while the service is being tested, organizations we invite use it free of charge. If that changes, we will say so before an organization is charged anything.

What we do not promise

The service is provided as it is. We deploy changes often, and it will sometimes be down, slow or wrong. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, we do not promise that any particular game will process successfully, and we are not responsible for video a rink's camera system did not record or did not keep.

Nothing here limits any right you have that cannot be limited by agreement. Otherwise, to the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything connected with the service is limited to what you have paid us for it, which for a parent is nothing.

Ending it

You may stop using the service at any time, and you can delete your own parent account from your account page. An organization may stop at any time and ask us to delete its film and data. We may suspend or end an account that breaks these terms, or end the service altogether, in which case we will give the organizations using it reasonable notice and provide copies of an organization's film on request.

Changes to these terms

We will change these terms as the service grows. Every version of this page is kept, each one numbered and dated, and the version you accepted is recorded against your account. If we publish a new version you will be asked to accept it the next time you sign in, and the old version stays readable.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, in the United States, and any dispute about them is heard by the courts of Florida.
