This policy explains what information NIL Kit collects, why, and how it's used. We collect the minimum we need to run the Service, and we don't sell your data.
When you use NIL Kit, we may collect:
The profile information you submit (name, sport, school, traits, goals, and similar details) is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate your bio, content pillars, sponsor pitch, and related materials. We don't use your data to train any AI model, ours or a third party's.
To run the Service, we share the minimum necessary data with:
Each of these providers processes data under their own privacy policy and only for the purpose of providing their service to us. We don't permit them to use your data for anything else.
NIL Kit is built for student athletes, including high school athletes who may be under 18. If you're under 18, you should have a parent or guardian's permission before creating an account or entering into any sponsorship arrangement, consistent with your state's NIL rules for minors.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us at support@nilkit.org and we'll delete it.
Pro users can optionally enable a public “link in bio” style page showing their bio, sport, and content pillars. This is off by default and only visible to others once you turn it on. A separate sponsor-response link (included on your downloadable PDFs) is always reachable by anyone who has the direct link, but is excluded from search engine indexing.
College athletes can optionally opt into a marketplace where businesses browse for sponsorship candidates. This is off by default and currently limited to the college level. Until a business requests a connection and you approve it, they only see non-identifying details: sport, general region (city/state, never a precise address), class year, and sponsorship-interest categories. Your name, school, and social handles are only shared with a business once you've approved that specific connection.
Businesses go through a review process before they can use the marketplace, including an automated plausibility check and, where that's inconclusive, a manual review. This doesn't guarantee every business is who they claim to be, so use the same judgment here you would with any unfamiliar sponsor.
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You can request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by emailing support@nilkit.org. We'll act on deletion requests within a reasonable time, except where we're required to keep certain records (e.g. billing history) for legal or tax purposes.
Passwords are hashed, never stored in plain text. All traffic to the Service is encrypted in transit. Sessions are stored server-side and can be revoked at any time by logging out. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect your information.
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Questions about this policy, or requests about your data, can be sent to support@nilkit.org.
