This Privacy Policy explains how CurioCore ("Company," "we," "us") collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you use Flowbase, SportsFlow, joinflowbase.com, sportsflow.ai, our apps and FlowCoach (the "Services"). Residents of certain places have additional rights, described in Sections 12 to 16. Health-related information is also covered by our Consumer Health Data Notice.
The short version.
- Coaches never see your questionnaire answers. You choose which scores a coach sees, and you can take that back at any time.
- Race results, rankings and league standings are public. You can shorten your displayed name.
- We do not sell your personal information, share it for targeted advertising, or use your health information to train AI models.
- You can download or delete your data at any time.
Flowbase and SportsFlow Accounts
Flowbase and SportsFlow each have their own accounts. If you use only one, the other does not receive your information. If you have both and choose to link them, your profile and sign-in are shared, and information moves between them only to show it where you use it. Your sharing settings, including what coaches can see, apply the same way in both. You can unlink or close either account at any time.

3. How We Use Information
We use personal information to:
- Provide the Services, including logging training, calculating results, rankings and handicaps, and running leagues, challenges, clubs, events, reservations and fundraisers;
- Show your results and insights, and identify where to focus your attention;
- Share information with coaches, clubs, guardians and the public as described in Section 4;
- Operate FlowCoach and the library;
- Process payments and donations, and manage subscriptions;
- Send service messages and the reminders you enable;
- Notify a club's Wellbeing Lead of a threshold event (Section 4.4);
- Check the reliability of our questionnaires and improve the Services, using de-identified data;
- Keep the Services safe, including preventing fraud, protecting minors and moderating content;
- Comply with law and enforce our Terms.
We send marketing emails only with your consent where the law requires it, and never using health information. You can unsubscribe at any time.
4. How Information Is Shared
4.1 Public information. Race results, league standings, ranking entries and club rankings show your name, club, category and result. Certificates you choose to make public and reels you publish are public. You, or a guardian for a minor, can switch your displayed name to first name and last initial in settings.
4.2 Coaches, by your settings.
| Information | You | Your coach | Club Wellbeing Lead | Your guardian (under 18) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Training logs and results | Yes | Yes, for your coaches and programs | No | No |
| Wellbeing answers, item by item | Yes | Never | Never | No |
| Daily readiness indicator and load tolerance | Yes | Yes, by default | No | No |
| Wellbeing scores | Yes | Only if you share each one | No | No |
| Clinical screen results, notes, raw wearable data | Yes | Only if you share each one | No | No |
| That a clinical screen met its threshold | Yes, at the same moment | No | Yes, never the score | If the Lead decides it is needed (Section 4.4) |
| Messages with coaches | Yes | Yes | No | A copy of every message |
| Check-in participation | Yes | Yes | No | No |
You always see what your coach sees, in the same words. A score you have not shared appears to coaches as "not shared." If you stop sharing, the coach loses access to that item's history. Sharing a score does not share the wearable data behind it. Support pod members see only pod-level summaries.
4.3 Multiple coaches. You may share with more than one coach and follow more than one program. Each coach sees only what you share with them.
4.4 Safeguarding notifications. Screening questionnaires are available only through clubs at this time. If your club uses the WHO-5 or GAD-7 and your result meets the threshold in the club's agreement with us, we tell the club's Wellbeing Lead that it happened. We never disclose the score or your answers. You are told at the same moment. For athletes under 18, the Lead may involve a parent or guardian unless that would put you at risk, and you are told before they do. See our Safeguarding Policy.
4.5 Service providers. We use service providers for hosting, storage, email, notifications, payments, subscription management, customer support and AI. They process information only on our instructions and under contract. The current list is in the Appendix.
4.6 Clubs. Clubs see roster, reservation, event and fundraising information for their own members and events. Clubs do not see wellbeing information except as described in 4.2 and 4.4.
4.7 Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law or legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is needed to prevent death or serious harm.
4.8 Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, personal information may transfer to the successor under this policy. We will tell you before it becomes subject to a different policy.
4.9 No sale, no targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and have not in the past 12 months.
5. FlowCoach and AI
5.1 FlowCoach is powered by Claude, an AI model provided by Anthropic, PBC ("Anthropic"). When you or your coach use FlowCoach, we send Anthropic the question and the context needed to answer it, such as recent training, scores and readiness.
5.2 Before any request leaves our systems, we remove your name and direct identifiers. When a coach uses FlowCoach, information you have not shared with that coach is removed.
5.3 Our contract with Anthropic prohibits it from using our data to train its models and limits how long it may keep request data.
5.4 We keep your FlowCoach conversations so you can return to them. You can delete them at any time.
5.5 Our automated features, such as readiness indicators, rankings and handicaps, give information and suggestions. They do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you.
6. Children and Teens
The Services are not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their personal information, and delete it if we learn we have. Users aged 13 to 17 need a parent or guardian's approval before any information is stored. Teen accounts start with the most private settings. A guardian can review, download or delete the teen's information, or withdraw approval, at any time.
7. Your Choices and Rights
7.1 Everyone. Wherever you live, you can: access and download your data; correct it; delete it or your account; change what coaches see; disconnect devices; shorten your public name; withdraw consent; opt out of marketing. Most can be done in settings.
7.2 Requests. Email {PRIVACY_EMAIL} or use settings. We verify your identity before acting, respond within 30 days (45 in some US states), and may extend once where the law allows. An authorized agent may act for you with your signed permission. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.
7.3 Appeals. If we deny a request, reply to our decision to appeal. We respond within the time the law requires. If we deny the appeal, we will tell you how to contact your regulator.
8. Retention
We keep personal information while your account is open. We delete it within 90 days after closure, except for public results, records we must keep by law, safeguarding records held by clubs, and de-identified data. Raw wellbeing answers of users under 18 are deleted within 30 days after closure, or when they turn 18. Our Data Retention Schedule gives the detail.
9. Security
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, access logging and staff confidentiality obligations. No system is completely secure. If a breach affects your information, we will notify you and regulators as the law requires, including under the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule where it applies.
10. International Transfers
We are based in the United States and process information there. For transfers from the EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland, we rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum and, where our providers are certified, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients protect information to the standard required by Australian, New Zealand and Canadian law.

12.2 Your California rights. To know, access, correct and delete; to not be discriminated against; and, under the Shine the Light law, to ask whether we disclosed personal information to third parties for their direct marketing (we do not).
