Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Performance Sports & Skills Institute ("PSSI," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit our website at mindperformancesports.com or participate in the 8-Week Mental Performance Pilot Program ("Program").

We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of youth athletes and their families. This Policy reflects our obligations under applicable privacy law and our sincere commitment to responsible data stewardship.

By using our website or enrolling in the Program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We collect personal information in the following categories, depending on your interaction with PSSI:

We collect only the minimum data necessary to deliver the Program effectively and to comply with our legal and operational obligations.

PSSI uses the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

• Enrollment & Administration: To process registrations, confirm cohort placements, and manage participant records.
• Program Delivery: To send Zoom session links, course materials, workbooks, and relevant Program communications.
• Progress & Assessment: To review anonymized assessment data and improve Program content and delivery over time.
• Communications: To respond to your inquiries, send Program updates, and provide support before and during the Program.
• Legal Compliance: To fulfill our obligations under applicable laws and regulations, including youth privacy laws.
• Site Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website in order to improve performance and user experience.

PSSI does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Chase Youth Programs (CYP): As our enrollment and payment processing partner, CYP receives the data necessary to manage registrations, collect Program fees, and execute participant waivers. CYP is contractually bound to handle this data securely and in accordance with applicable law.
• Program Facilitators & Staff: PSSI coaches and facilitators access limited participant information (name, cohort, session attendance) solely to deliver Program services. Access is restricted on a need-to-know basis.
• Analytics Providers: Anonymized, aggregated site usage data may be processed by analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us understand website traffic. This data does not identify individual users.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of PSSI, participants, or the public.

Any third-party service providers engaged by PSSI are vetted for data security practices and are prohibited from using personal information for any purpose other than providing services to PSSI.

• PSSI does not knowingly collect personal information from any child under the age of 13 without verified parental or guardian consent.
• All enrollment for participants aged 8–17 requires completion by a parent or legal guardian, who provides explicit consent on behalf of the minor.
• Personal information collected from or about minor participants is used solely for Program delivery purposes and is not shared beyond what is necessary for enrollment and session management.
• Assessment data generated by youth participants (e.g., WNC responses, goal-setting worksheets) is handled with additional confidentiality protections and anonymized in any aggregate reporting.
• Parents and guardians may request to review, correct, or delete their child's personal information at any time by contacting us at pssi@mindperformancesports.com.
• PSSI will promptly delete any data collected from or about a minor upon a valid parental or guardian deletion request, subject to legal retention obligations.

PSSI implements commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
