Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Information We Collect

We collect information you or your school provide directly: athlete names, school affiliation, contact information (including parent or guardian contacts), performance and testing data, wellness check-in responses, and health records entered by authorized school staff, such as injury evaluations, treatment notes, concussion assessments, physicals and other medical documents. Health records are seen only by the athlete, their family and the staff your school allows. Coaches see whether an athlete can play, not the clinical details. We do not collect Social Security numbers or financial information.

Wearables and Apple Health

If you connect a wearable (WHOOP, Oura, Fitbit, Polar) or Apple Health on your iPhone, Strata reads only what you allow, such as heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep, steps, active energy, breathing rate, blood oxygen, VO2 max and workouts, to show your recovery and readiness. It is private to you unless you choose to share it with your staff, and your school can turn that sharing off. Strata never writes to Apple Health. Data from Apple Health is never sold, never used for advertising or marketing, and never shared with third parties. You can stop it at any time in iPhone Settings, Health, Data Access & Devices, Strata.

How We Use Information

Information is used solely to provide Platform functionality: performance tracking, health monitoring, program delivery, and reporting to authorized school staff. We do not sell, rent, or share personally identifiable information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Storage

Data is stored on secure, access-controlled infrastructure and encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard TLS. Each school's data is walled off from every other organization. Staff access to sensitive records requires two-factor authentication.

AI Features

Nutrition coaching, meal planning, and AI analysis features use Anthropic's Claude API. When you use these features, relevant context (not full student records) is transmitted for processing. Anthropic's privacy policy governs that processing. We do not transmit student names or identifying information to AI services.

Minor Athletes

The Platform serves minors (athletes under 18). We collect only the minimum data necessary for Platform functionality. Parental contact information is stored for authorized school staff use only and is never shared externally.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data by contacting mgordon@stratastrength.net. Schools may request full data exports or deletion upon contract termination.

Student Education Records (FERPA)

Strata Strength processes student education records only as directed by and on behalf of the educational institution. Schools retain ownership of all student data. Strata Strength does not disclose education records except as directed by the institution or as required by law. Strata operates as a designated school official under FERPA's legitimate educational interest exception (34 C.F.R. § 99.31(a)(1)). See our FERPA Notice for full details.

Athletic Trainer Clinical Data (HIPAA)

Clinical records entered by licensed Athletic Trainers, including injury evaluations, treatment notes, and concussion assessments, may constitute Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA depending on the institution's structure. Strata applies HIPAA-aligned data controls to all clinical data regardless of covered entity status. Strata Strength LLC will enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with covered entities upon request. See our HIPAA Notice for full details.
