Privacy
- Anonymous participation: You may take the HoopsRef Assessment without an account. HoopsRef stores a private identifier in this browser so it can count assessment starts, completions, and repeat attempts and return you to certificates created in this browser. Clearing browser data may break that connection and may cause the same person to be counted again.
- Camera access: HoopsRef uses your camera only when you take an optional profile photo and during the HoopsRef Assessment integrity check.
- Microphone access: HoopsRef uses your microphone only during the HoopsRef Assessment to detect sustained excessive room noise. Audio and continuous video are not recorded or uploaded. HoopsRef does not use facial recognition or automatically verify your identity.
- Optional headshot: A headshot added to a guest certificate is saved with this browser's participant record. A profile photo added to an account is saved with that profile. A headshot appears on the leaderboards only when you explicitly opt in.
- Assessment snapshots: Five still images are captured and saved during each HoopsRef Assessment for use on that assessment's certificate. These images are separate from your optional profile photo.
- Guest results and certificates: Assessment results, certificate names, unique certificate IDs, and assessment snapshots are saved so they can be reopened from the same browser. You may later add that history to a new or existing account.
- Leaderboards: Leaderboard participation is optional. Only a display name, selected result, star rating, assessment date, and optional headshot are made public when you choose to participate.
- Profile and assessment history: If you create an account, your HoopsRef profile and claimed assessment history are saved so you can access them after signing in on another browser or device.
- Account security: HoopsRef uses secure email-and-password authentication through Supabase. HoopsRef does not store or receive your password in readable form.
