Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 14, 2026
Overview
OnTheField is a free, browser-based lineup builder for baseball and softball coaches. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
Data You Enter
All lineup data — player names, jersey numbers, positions, batting orders, and team information — is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly share it.
We do not have accounts or user profiles. We cannot access your lineup data.
Email Collection
We collect email addresses when you voluntarily subscribe through our waitlist or newsletter forms. This includes:
- Pro waitlist — to notify you when OnTheField Pro launches
- Feature updates — to share news about new features and improvements
Your email address is stored by Loops, our email service provider. We do not sell, share, or rent your email address to third parties. We will only email you for the purpose you signed up for.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us at support@onthefield.app.
Analytics
We use PostHog to understand how coaches use the app. This includes:
- Page views and navigation
- Feature usage (e.g., printing, sharing, auto-assign)
- Session recordings to identify usability issues
- Device type (mobile vs. desktop) and browser
Analytics data is processed through our own proxy server. We do not use third-party advertising trackers or sell analytics data.
Feedback
If you submit feedback through the in-app feedback button, your message, star rating, team size, and device type are sent to us via a Discord webhook. This data is used solely to improve the app. We do not collect personal identifiers through feedback unless you include them in your message.
Sharing Lineups
When you share a lineup, the data is compressed and encoded into a shareable link. Shared lineup data is stored in the URL itself — not on our servers. Anyone with the link can view the lineup. We are not responsible for shared lineup data once the link leaves your control.
Cookies
We do not use advertising cookies. PostHog analytics may set a first-party cookie for session identification. You can opt out of analytics by using a browser extension that blocks tracking scripts, or by contacting us.
Third-Party Services
- Vercel — hosts the application. See vercel.com/privacy.
- PostHog — analytics provider. See posthog.com/privacy.
- Loops — email service provider for waitlist and newsletter subscriptions. See loops.so/legal/privacy.
Children's Privacy
OnTheField is designed for coaches to manage team lineups. Player names and jersey numbers entered into the app are stored only on the coach's device. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data Retention
All lineup data persists in your browser until you clear your browser data or use the in-app reset function. Analytics data is retained by PostHog according to their retention policy. Feedback submissions are retained at our discretion. Email addresses are retained by Loops until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Your Rights
You can clear all your data at any time by using the in-app reset function or clearing your browser's local storage. For analytics-related requests, contact us at the email below.
