Privacy
Last updated November 2, 2026. SmartRink is run by Smart Rink LLC.
SmartRink keeps the schedules, rosters, registrations and payments of the rinks, clubs and tournaments that use it, and the players and families who play there. This page says what we keep, why, who sees it, and what you can do about it. We don't sell your information, we don't show ads, and we don't use outside tracking or analytics.
What we keep
- Your account: your name, email address, a password (stored only as a one-way hash) or your Sign in with Apple identifier, and passkeys you add.
- Player profiles: name, date of birth, phone, address, hockey experience and positions, sex where a league or program restricts by it, a photo if you add one, and hockey registration numbers if a program asks.
- Children: a child's profile is made by a parent or guardian on their own account. Children under 14 have no sign-in of their own; teenagers from 14 may, and a parent stays linked until 18. A rink never creates a child's profile.
- What you do here: registrations and their answers and documents, teams, games, scores and penalties, attendance and check-ins, messages in team chat (and photos you send there), and what you asked us to notify you about.
- Payments: what was charged, paid, refunded or credited. Card and bank details go straight to Stripe, the payment processor; they never reach SmartRink.
- Officials: referees and scorekeepers give a home postal code, how far they'll travel, their availability and level, so jobs near them can be shown.
- Devices: a push-notification token for each device you allow notifications on. Directions open in your own maps; we don't track your location.
Who sees it
- The organizations you play with see what they need to run their leagues and programs: your profile, your registrations, your games and what you owe them. One organization never sees another's records.
- Your team sees your name, number and team chat. Officials are shown to others only by first initial and last name, and only after the game.
- Rinks and clubs near you can send you promotions by distance from your ZIP code; they never see your name or address, and every one has an unsubscribe link and a Promotions switch in your settings.
- Service providers that do a job for us: Stripe (payments), Apple (push notifications, Maps, Sign in with Apple) and our email provider (sending email). They use it only to do that job.
- We share information when the law requires it, and never otherwise.
What you can do
- See and change your profile any time on your account page.
- Turn notifications and promotional email off in your settings; every promotional email has a one-click unsubscribe.
- Delete your account from your account page (Delete my account). Your sign-in and everything only you had goes. Records an organization keeps for its own books (games played, money charged or refunded, a registration on its roster) stay with that organization, without the link to you.
- Ask us anything about your information through Support.
Keeping it safe
Everything travels encrypted. Each organization's records are kept apart from every other's in the database itself. Passwords are stored only as hashes, and staff access to an organization's records by SmartRink is logged.
Changes
When this policy changes, the date above changes, and an important change is announced by email before it applies.
