4. SWING VIDEOS, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND TESTIMONIALS
Swing videos, photographs, coaching materials, and analyses submitted or created for a customer are used to provide the purchased or requested service.
We will not use identifiable customer swing videos, photographs, analyses, names, or testimonials for public promotional purposes unless the customer—or a parent or legal guardian when applicable—provides separate permission.
Promotional permission is optional and is not required to purchase a service or apply for coaching. If you previously provided permission and later wish to withdraw it for future use, contact us using the information below. Withdrawal will not necessarily affect material already lawfully published, distributed, or incorporated into completed content.
5. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
If you choose to receive marketing emails, we may send information about coaching, swing analysis, event appearances, content, or other services.
You may unsubscribe by using the link included in a marketing email or by contacting us. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may continue sending non-promotional messages related to purchases, applications, services, events, security, or other transactions.
We do not sell email addresses to mailing-list brokers.
6. SALE, SHARING, AND TARGETED ADVERTISING
We do not sell personal information for money.
Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly enough to include certain advertising or analytics technologies. If we enable technology that constitutes selling, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, we will provide any legally required notices and opt-out methods.
At the time this Policy was last updated, WE DO NOT USE PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR CROSS-CONTEXT BEHAVIORAL OR TARGETED ADVERTISING.
7. DATA RETENTION
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing services, maintaining transaction and business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal, tax, insurance, and accounting requirements.
Retention periods may vary based on the type of information and the reason it was collected. For example:
General inquiries may be retained until the request is resolved and for a reasonable period afterward.
Coaching applications may be retained to evaluate current or future coaching opportunities.
Customer, order, and payment records may be retained as required for tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and legal purposes.
Marketing information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to limited suppression records needed to honor your request.
We may delete or de-identify information when it is no longer reasonably needed.
8. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, electronic transmission, cloud-storage system, or method of data storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for using a secure method to submit files and for protecting any account credentials or private links provided to you. Do not send sensitive information through ordinary email unless specifically instructed.
9. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES AND RIGHTS
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
Request access to personal information we maintain about you
Request correction of inaccurate personal information
Request deletion of personal information
Request a portable copy of certain information
Opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling
Withdraw consent when processing is based on consent
Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information
Appeal the denial of a privacy request
Receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right
To submit a privacy request, email sam@drsamattanasio.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” Describe your request and identify the email address associated with your interactions or purchase.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We may also retain information when permitted or required by law, including information necessary to complete transactions, maintain records, prevent fraud, protect legal rights, or comply with legal obligations.
Authorized agents may submit requests when permitted by applicable law. We may require proof of the agent’s authority and verification of the consumer’s identity.

Marketing emails: Use the unsubscribe link in an email.
Cookies: Use the Website’s cookie settings or your browser controls.
Promotional use: Contact us to withdraw permission for future promotional use.
Account or service information: Contact us to request an update or correction.
10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
The Website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13.
A parent or legal guardian must submit information, purchase services, and provide any necessary permissions on behalf of a participant under 18.
If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information without appropriate parental involvement, contact us so we can review and delete the information as appropriate.
11. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND EMBEDDED CONTENT
The Website may link to or embed content from third-party services, including social-media platforms, video-hosting services, payment processors, scheduling tools, maps, or file-upload providers.
Those third parties may collect information independently and operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third-party websites or services.
12. INTERNATIONAL VISITORS
The Website is operated from the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live. When required, we will rely on an appropriate legal basis or transfer mechanism for processing personal information.
13. DO NOT TRACK AND OPT-OUT PREFERENCE SIGNALS
Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” settings or other privacy signals. Because standards and legal requirements continue to develop, the Website may not respond to all such signals.
Where required by applicable law and supported by our Website technology, we will process recognized opt-out preference signals as requests to opt out of covered sales, sharing, or targeted advertising.
14. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technology, legal obligations, or information practices.
The revised Policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. If required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
