We keep this simple,
the way it should be.
Sideline Ready doesn't have accounts, doesn't sell data, and doesn't run tracking scripts. Here's exactly what happens when you and your family use the site.
The short versionNo sign-ups. No profiles. No data sold.
- No account needed. You never create a login, so there's nothing to sign into, and nothing to lose.
- No personal information is collected. We never ask for names, emails, addresses, or anything about your child.
- No cookies and no trackers from us. The site tracks nothing itself; it uses cookieless, server-side logs for basic usage counts only. Google may set cookies when showing ads on our parent pages.
- Kid games keep progress on the device. Scores and badges live in your browser's local storage, not on our servers, so nothing about your child's play ever leaves the device.
What we do collect (and why)
The only data that exists is anonymized, aggregate server logs that the hosting provider keeps automatically so the site can run, the same way any website does.
These logs tell us general things like which pages get visited, roughly where in the world visitors are, and the type of device or browser used. There are no cookies, no persistent identifiers, and no way to identify any individual. We use this to understand which guides and games are helpful so the site can get better.
Your child's game data
Baseball IQ Kids and Gymnastics IQ Kids are designed to run entirely on your device.
- Progress stays put. Points, streaks, stars, and badges are stored only in the browser you're using: the living-room tablet or phone where the game was played.
- Nothing is uploaded. Game progress is never sent to our servers, not even for "high scores."
- Clearing is easy. Clearing your browser's site data removes the games' progress. There's nothing stored anywhere else.
Advertising
The kids' games never carry advertising and never load a single ad or tracking script. Nothing inside the games connects to an ad network.
On our parent-facing pages (the home page and the guides), we use Google AdSense to help keep the games free. This site is treated as child-directed, so Google serves only non-personalized, contextual ads: no interest-based targeting, no remarketing, and no third-party ad vendors or pixels. This page is intentionally kept ad-free.
A few parent-facing pages may also include affiliate links (see the disclosure line on the guides themselves). As an Amazon Associate, we may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. The kids' games never carry advertising or affiliate links, and no personal information is shared with any ad or affiliate partner.
If you ever see a different notice or behavior from what's described here, email us and we'll sort it out plainly.
