StatsThread Ltd produces basketball analysis and highlights from footage that clubs provide. This page sets out what personal data we collect through this website, what we process on behalf of clubs, how long we keep it, and how to make a request.

Who we are

StatsThread Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. For anything relating to your data, email ac7@statsthread.co.uk.

What this website collects

This site has no accounts, no contact forms and no advertising or analytics cookies. If you email us, we hold your name, email address and what you wrote for as long as we need to reply and, if you become a client, for the length of our work together. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security, and deletes them on its normal schedule.

What we process for clubs

When a club works with us, it supplies match footage and basic squad information such as player names and shirt numbers. From that footage we produce statistics, clips and highlights. The club remains the controller of its footage and its players' data. We process it to deliver the service the club has asked for, under our agreement with that club. The other uses are opponent scouting within British Championship Basketball and the game exchange between NBL D1+ clubs, both set out below, and, where a club has agreed, highlight clips for social media.

Footage involving anyone under 18 is processed only where the club confirms it holds the necessary parental consent, and is never used in any public material.

We rely on contract as our lawful basis for delivering the service, and on legitimate interests for responding to enquiries and keeping the service secure.

Opponent scouting in British Championship Basketball

The board of governors of British Championship Basketball (BCB) has agreed that clubs in the league may scout one another. Where we have analysed a BCB game, we may give another BCB club private access to that game's analysis, so that its coaches can prepare for the team they play next. It is never published. Outside the BCB, the only sharing of analysis between clubs is the NBL D1+ game exchange below.

For this use StatsThread Ltd is the controller, and our lawful basis is legitimate interests: preparing for an opponent is a normal part of the sport, and the league has agreed to it.

The individual profile and clips of a player under 18 are not included without parental consent.

Any player can object to their data being used for scouting by emailing ac7@statsthread.co.uk.

Game exchange between NBL D1+ clubs

Clubs in Division One of the National Basketball League, men's and women's, that take our NBL D1+ service agree to share their analysed games with one another. A D1+ club can watch the analysed games of the other D1+ clubs, so that its coaches can prepare for the team they play next. It is never published, and no club outside the exchange sees it.

For this use StatsThread Ltd is the controller, and our lawful basis is legitimate interests: preparing for an opponent is a normal part of the sport, and every participating club has agreed to it.

The individual profile and clips of a player under 18 are not included without parental consent.

Any player can object to their data being used in the exchange by emailing ac7@statsthread.co.uk.

How long we keep it

After those periods the material is deleted. A club can ask us to delete its footage and derived material earlier at any time, and we will.

Who we share it with

We do not sell data. The only ways another club can see analysis of your games are the opponent scouting within the BCB and the NBL D1+ game exchange, both set out above, each part of that club's service with us. We use hosting and storage providers to run the service, under contracts that limit them to acting on our instructions. Nothing is published or shared beyond the club without the club's consent, other than those two. Where a club has agreed, we share short highlight clips with Swish Assistant, our media partner, for publication on social media. Nothing involving anyone under 18 is included.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to how it is used. Email ac7@statsthread.co.uk and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with our response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
