Kompete may use analytics, algorithms, artificial intelligence, statistical models, or other automated technologies to help transform athlete performance information into useful insights.

These systems may be used to:

• Analyze performance results
• Compare athletes against relevant benchmarks

• Highlight strengths or development opportunities
• Generate performance summaries
• Recommend development areas
• Personalize training recommendations
• Assist coaches in understanding athlete performance

AI-generated or automated recommendations are intended to support athletes, coaches, parents, and organizations. They should not be treated as guaranteed predictions of athletic success, selection, recruitment, medical condition, or future performance.

Where applicable law provides rights relating to automated decision-making or profiling, users may exercise those rights as described in this Policy.

We seek to use appropriate safeguards when personal information is processed using AI or automated systems.

Where third-party technology providers assist in delivering AI or analytics functionality, information provided to those providers will be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the applicable function and handled in accordance with applicable contractual, privacy, and security requirements.

Kompete does not intend AI-generated insights to constitute medical advice.

4. Information Shared Through Teams and Organizations

Many Kompete users access the Services through a sports organization, academy, team, school, coach, testing provider, or similar organization.

Depending on your relationship with that organization, authorized users may be able to view information including:

• Your profile
• Testing history
• Performance results
• Benchmark data
• Reports
• Workout information
• Athlete-development information
• Team membership
• Progress information

Access should be limited according to account permissions and legitimate organizational purposes.

If an organization created or manages your account, that organization may determine certain purposes for which your information is processed. In such situations, the organization may have separate responsibilities under applicable privacy law.

Questions regarding how an organization independently uses your information should be directed to that organization.

5. How We Share Personal Information

We do not disclose personal information indiscriminately.

We may share information in the following circumstances.

a. With Authorized Coaches, Teams and Organizations

Information may be shared with coaches, administrators, teams, academies, parents, guardians, testing providers, or organizations that are authorized to access an athlete's information.

Access depends on the applicable relationship, account permissions, organization settings, and Services being used.

b. With Other Users at Your Direction

Where Kompete provides features for sharing athlete reports, recruiting profiles, verified results, or similar information, information may be shared according to the settings or actions associated with those features.

Users should carefully review information before making an athlete profile or performance report shareable.

c. With Service Providers

We may work with service providers that perform services on our behalf, including:

• Cloud hosting
• Data storage
• Analytics
• Customer support
• Authentication
• Communications
• Payment processing
• Security monitoring
• Infrastructure services
• AI or analytics technology
• Software development and operational services

These providers are permitted to process information only as necessary to perform services for Kompete and subject to applicable contractual obligations.

d. With Testing and Technology Partners

Where necessary to provide testing or connected-device functionality, information may be exchanged with authorized testing partners, equipment systems, or integration providers.

e. For Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law
• Respond to lawful court orders, subpoenas, or government requests
• Protect the rights or property of Kompete
• Investigate suspected fraud or security incidents
• Enforce our agreements
• Protect the safety of users or others

f. Business Transactions

If Kompete is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and privacy protections.

g. With Your Consent

We may disclose information for another purpose where you or, where applicable, your parent or guardian has provided consent.

h. Aggregated and De-identified Information

We may create aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual.

Such information may be used for:

• Performance benchmarking
• Research
• Product development
• Industry analysis
• Statistical reporting
• Service improvement

We will take reasonable measures designed to prevent de-identified information from being used to re-identify individuals.

6. Athlete Benchmarking

Benchmarking is an important part of Kompete's athlete-development Services.

We may use performance results to calculate statistics such as:

• Percentiles
• Average performance
• Performance ranges
• Age-appropriate comparisons
• Sport-specific comparisons
• Position or category comparisons
• Historical trends

Where possible and appropriate, benchmark datasets are aggregated or de-identified so that individual athletes are not identified within general benchmark statistics.

An athlete's identifiable results will not become publicly available solely because those results contribute to aggregate benchmarking.

7. Children and Youth Athletes

Kompete recognizes that its Services may be used by youth athletes.

Protecting children's and young people's personal information is particularly important to us.

Where required by applicable law, Kompete will obtain appropriate authorization or consent from a parent or legal guardian before collecting or processing personal information belonging to a child who cannot legally provide valid consent independently.

A youth athlete's account may also be established or administered through an authorized:

• Parent or guardian
• Team
• School
• Academy
• Club
• Sports organization
• Testing provider

We seek to limit information collected from youth athletes to information reasonably necessary to provide athlete testing, development, training, reporting, and related Services.

We do not knowingly sell children's personal information for monetary consideration.

We do not intend to use children's personal information for behavioural advertising.

Parents and guardians may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of a child's information where they are legally entitled to do so.

Depending on age, maturity, jurisdiction, and applicable law, youth athletes may also be able to exercise privacy rights directly.

If we learn that children's information has been collected contrary to applicable legal requirements, we will take appropriate steps to address the issue, including deletion where required.

8. Sensitive Personal Information

Certain information processed through Kompete may be considered sensitive under applicable law.

This may include, depending on the circumstances:

• Detailed physical-performance information
• Health or injury-related information voluntarily provided by a user
• Precise geolocation information
• Account credentials
• Information concerning children
• Other information legally classified as sensitive

We apply additional care to sensitive personal information and seek to limit its collection, use, disclosure, and retention to appropriate purposes.

Where express consent is required for processing sensitive personal information, we will seek that consent.

9. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable privacy laws require us to identify a legal basis for processing personal information, we may rely on:
