CageList, LLC ("CageList," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use cagelist.com and the services offered through it (the "Platform"), how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have. It covers every part of the Platform: cage bookings, directory pages and claims, coaching and lessons, coach background checks, facility memberships, team pages and dues, classes and camps, the gear and swag stores, profiles, the feed, parent-managed Player Profiles, messaging, reviews, and the Creators, referral and credit programs. It also explains how our staff can access your account to help you.
This Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service. If you do not agree with it, do not use the Platform.
CageList, LLC is a Florida limited liability company and the "controller" or "business" responsible for personal information collected through the Platform. Hosts, facilities, coaches, teams, organizations and retailers you transact with through the Platform are independent parties; where they receive your information, their own privacy practices apply to what they do with it (Section 4). This Policy does not cover websites we link to (Section 17).
We collect information in three ways: you give it to us, we collect it automatically when you use the Platform, and we receive it from others. What we collect depends on which parts of the Platform you use.
Information you give us
Information collected automatically
Device and browser type, operating system, IP address and approximate location derived from it, pages viewed, clicks and interactions, referring URLs and referral or campaign parameters (such as ?ref= codes), timestamps, session identifiers, error reports and performance data, and, for a sample of sessions, a masked replay of your interactions with the page (Section 8). We collect this through cookies, local storage and similar technologies, and through our analytics and monitoring providers.
Information from others
We use personal information to:
We do not use personal information for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you without human review, except that background-check results are subject to the adverse-action process in Section 6, and fraud and rate controls may automatically hold a transaction or action pending review.
Payments are processed by Stripe. When you pay, your card details go directly to Stripe; CageList receives a token, the last four digits, card brand, expiry and billing postcode, and never stores your full card number. Stripe's privacy policy governs Stripe's handling of your payment data.
Saved payment methods. For recurring memberships, team dues and the Featured Profile, Stripe keeps a customer record with your payment method on file so we can charge it at each renewal. You can update or remove it through the billing portal linked from your account.
Merchant of record. For hourly bookings and lessons, CageList collects payment on behalf of the Host or Coach and transfers their share through Stripe Connect. For memberships, team dues, the Featured Profile, direct gear orders and the coach verification fee, CageList is the merchant of record and the charge appears from CageList.
Payouts. Hosts, facilities, Coaches, teams and Creators receiving cash are onboarded to Stripe Connect, which collects identity, bank and tax information directly. We receive verification status and payout records. Creator cash payouts made off-platform are recorded by us with the payee's chosen details. Tax forms and taxpayer identifiers are used only for payment and tax-reporting purposes.
Sales tax. For products CageList sells directly, Stripe calculates sales tax from your shipping address; we retain the calculation for tax records.
If you apply to offer lessons, CageList orders a background check on you from Checkr, Inc., a consumer reporting agency, as part of our coach verification program.
Before anything is ordered you will receive a separate, standalone disclosure that a consumer report will be obtained, and you will give written authorization, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires. This Policy is not that disclosure. You then complete Checkr's identity and consent flow directly with Checkr; the personal information you provide to Checkr (including your Social Security number, date of birth and government ID) is collected by Checkr, not by CageList, and is governed by Checkr's privacy policy.
What we receive and keep. CageList receives the invitation status, whether the report is complete, the report's result category (clear, or requires review), and adverse-action status. Where a report requires review, an authorized CageList staff member views the report on Checkr's platform to make a decision. We store Checkr candidate, invitation and report identifiers, the status history, the date you consented, a short note if the check stalls (for example, that identity verification is required), and a record that each Checkr event was received. We do not copy the report's contents into our database.
How we use it. Only to decide whether to approve, continue or end your participation in the coaching program. If we may decline you based in whole or part on the report, we follow the FCRA adverse-action process: you receive a pre-adverse-action notice with a copy of the report and "A Summary of Your Rights Under the FCRA," a reasonable period to dispute inaccuracies with Checkr, and a final notice if the decision stands. We do not decline for report reasons outside that process.
Your rights. You may request a free copy of your report from Checkr, dispute its accuracy with Checkr, and Checkr must investigate. You may withdraw from the program at any time; withdrawing does not delete a report already produced, but we will stop using it.
Re-checks. We currently fund a re-check for active Coaches approximately every three years and will obtain fresh authorization before each one.
Retention. We keep status records for as long as you are a Coach and for five (5) years afterwards for dispute and legal purposes.
"Verified" badge. The badge tells other users that you completed the program; it does not disclose the contents of your report.
Accounts are for adults. You must be 18 or older to hold an account, and we ask for your date of birth at signup to check that. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to create an account, and we do not offer accounts to anyone aged 13 to 17. If we learn that an account was created by someone under 18, we close it and delete the information, subject to Section 13.
Information about minors that adults provide. Because CageList serves youth baseball and softball, adults routinely give us information *about* children: a parent books a cage for their kid, registers them for a lesson or class, pays team dues for them, signs a waiver on their behalf, or creates a Player Profile describing them. In every case the information is provided by, and the account belongs to, the parent or guardian. The child never logs in, never posts, never messages and is never messaged. We do not direct any part of the Platform to children, do not show advertising to children, and do not use information about a child for advertising, profiling or marketing.
Player Profiles specifically. A Player Profile is a page a guardian creates to hold a young athlete's display name, age band, positions, batting/throwing hand, jersey number, team link, photos and highlight video. We designed it to keep the child's information under the guardian's control:
Other information about minors (athlete names on lessons and classes, waivers signed on their behalf, dues payer records, roster-interest submissions) is kept as part of the transaction records described in Section 13 and is shared only with the Coach, facility or team that provides the activity.
If you believe we hold information about a child that we should not, contact privacy@cagelist.com and we will investigate and delete it.
If you give us a mobile number, CageList may send text messages for one-time verification codes, booking confirmations, requests, approvals, declines, expirations and reminders, held-booking updates, payment, refund and payout notices, listing status updates, review prompts, credit-expiry reminders, message-received alerts, lesson notices to Coaches, and similar activity notices as the product adds them. We do not send marketing text messages unless you separately opt in. Message frequency varies with your activity. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out (you may receive one confirmation), HELP for help, or email support@cagelist.com. Consent is not a condition of using the Platform, but opting out may mean you miss time-sensitive notices.
We record each SMS consent event at signup (date, number, the consent wording version, network address and browser) and keep a log of activity messages sent (recipient, category, delivery status and a short preview of the text) to comply with telecommunications rules and to prove consent. Verification codes are sent through our authentication provider and are not logged this way. We do not sell, rent or share your mobile number, SMS consent status or message content with third parties or affiliates for their marketing. Twilio Inc. delivers messages on our behalf as a service provider and does not use your data for its own purposes.
We send transactional email (confirmations, receipts, reminders, renewal notices, payout notices, security notices, review requests, follow digests) through Resend, which acts as our service provider. We also send marketing and product email (newsletters, host tips, gear guides, offers), which you can stop at any time using the unsubscribe link in every such message or at cagelist.com/email-preferences; transactional email continues while you have an account. Every commercial email includes our postal address as required by law. We keep a record of each email sent (recipient, template, subject and delivery status). Our email provider may measure opens and clicks; we do not store per-message open or click data.
CageList is operated by a small team. To support you and keep the Platform safe, authorized staff can access personal information through an internal administration application at admin.cagelist.com. Specifically:
If you would prefer that we not use impersonation on your account except when you explicitly ask, tell us at privacy@cagelist.com and we will note it on your account.
To enforce our rules against arranging payment outside the Platform and to protect users, especially minors, we review content and messages by automated means and, when flagged or reported, by staff:
We do not use message content for advertising, and we do not send message, listing, review or Player Profile content to any AI model provider. The only text we send to an AI model is the search query you type (Section 3).
We keep personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed for the purposes in Section 3, then for the periods below:
Deleting your account. You can delete your account from account settings (an account without an email on file is deleted by contacting support) or by emailing privacy@cagelist.com. When you do, we: stop every recurring plan you pay for or sell (an active plan ends at the close of its current paid period, a past-due plan ends immediately, and if our payment processor cannot confirm the cancellation we stop and ask you to try again rather than delete an account that could still be billed); cancel your future bookings and lessons; archive your listings; unpublish any coach profile; permanently delete the Player Profiles you created and their media; sign you out everywhere; and anonymize your account, replacing your name, email, phone, photo, bio and location with placeholders so that the transaction records we must keep no longer identify you. We keep the anonymized financial records for the seven-year period above and a record that you deleted your account. Information may persist in our database backups for up to seven (7) days. Information that has already been shared with a Host, Coach, facility, team or retailer for a transaction remains with them under their own practices.
We protect personal information with measures appropriate to its sensitivity: encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) for all Platform traffic; encryption at rest by our database and storage provider; row-level access controls in the database so users can read only their own data; multi-factor authentication required for staff administrative access; role-based permissions; logging of sensitive staff actions; payment card handling delegated entirely to Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1); hashed passwords; secrets management for service credentials; bot protection on sign-up and sign-in; and dependency and error monitoring. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur. If a breach affecting your personal information occurs, we will notify you and regulators as the law requires.
Regardless of where you live, you can:
How to exercise rights. Email privacy@cagelist.com from your account email, or use the controls in your account. We may ask you to verify your identity (for example, by confirming your account email or a recent transaction) before acting, and we may decline requests that are unfounded, excessive, or that would require us to delete records we must keep. We respond within forty-five (45) days, extendable once by forty-five (45) days where permitted, and we do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. You may authorize an agent to make a request for you; we will require proof of the authorization.
Information held by others. We cannot retrieve or delete information that a Host, Coach, facility, team, retailer or Fourthwall received from you for a transaction; contact them directly.
California (CCPA/CPRA). California residents have the right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties we disclose it to; to delete; to correct; to opt out of "sale" and "sharing"; to limit use of sensitive personal information; and not to be discriminated against.
Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland and other states with comprehensive privacy laws. If you live in one of these states, you may have rights to access, correct, delete and obtain a copy of your personal data, to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and profiling in furtherance of significant decisions, and to appeal a refusal. Most of these laws apply only to businesses above a revenue or volume threshold that CageList may not yet meet; we nevertheless honor these requests for all users through the process in Section 15. If we refuse a request, you may appeal by replying to our response with "Appeal" in the subject line; we will respond within the period your state's law requires, and tell you how to contact your attorney general if we deny the appeal. Florida: the Florida Digital Bill of Rights applies to businesses with more than $1 billion in revenue and does not currently apply to CageList; Florida residents may still use the rights in Section 15.
Nevada. We do not sell covered information as defined in NRS 603A.
The Platform links to websites and services we do not control: retailers, Fourthwall's swag store, Stripe's checkout and billing pages, Checkr's candidate portal, Google Maps, social networks, and sites in blog posts and guides. Their privacy practices are their own.
Affiliate disclosure. Many product links are affiliate links: if you click one and buy, CageList may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, CageList earns from qualifying purchases. We also participate in the Impact, CJ Affiliate and Affiliatly networks and brand programs. When you click an affiliate link we record the click on our own systems for reporting (the product, the page you came from, the time, your browser type, and whether the click looks automated), but not your name, account or network address. The destination site and its network then set their own cookies to attribute your purchase, which reaches us only as aggregate commission figures, never as a purchase tied to you.
Swag store. Orders placed through the swag store are collected, processed and fulfilled by Fourthwall under Fourthwall's privacy policy; CageList receives sales reports, not customer data.
CageList previously operated a Builder Network that connected homeowners with cage-installation contractors. That program is withdrawn: we no longer collect builder applications, homeowner quote requests or project details, and no lead matching, lead sales or contact-detail disclosures take place. We retain historical records from the program (builder business details, homeowner contact and project details, lead-claim payment records) for the period in Section 13 for accounting and dispute purposes, and do not use them for any other purpose. If you provided information to the program and would like it deleted sooner, email privacy@cagelist.com; we will delete it except where a payment record must be kept.
We may update this Policy. When we make material changes (new categories of information, new purposes, new recipients, or changes to your rights) we will notify you by email or a prominent notice on the Platform before the change takes effect, and we will not apply a material change to information collected earlier in a way that reduces your rights without your consent. The "Last updated" date shows when it last changed. Prior versions are available on request.
