PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated 09/15/2025

This Site (https://www.prepbaseballreport.com and www.prepbaseball.com ) is owned and operated by Prep Baseball Report LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, 4750 S. Vernon Ave., McCook, IL 60525 (“Prep”). 

This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Site (including all State specific web pages contained within this Site) and to your personally identifiable information on the Site. This Privacy Policy may change at any time, in PREP’s discretion.  You will not be notified and should refer back to this Privacy Policy periodically.  

Privacy Policy

PREP seeks to protect privacy and the personal information that PREP obtains and this policy applies to all personal information PREP receives in electronic, paper or verbal format.  However, the purpose of the Site is to promote and report on prep baseball players to college scouts and others.  In order to do so, the Site presents and makes available to Site users personally identifiable information and data about players and their performance and capabilities that PREP deems desirable, useful and/or necessary.  Such information and data includes but is not limited to pictures, videos, names, age, schools attended, performance statistics and the like. Players always have the option to not provide any Personal Information by choosing not to use our services through our Site and PREP will adhere to any removal requests that are sent in writing or email to Prep at:  [email protected].  PREP reserves the right to verify any removal request directly with the player requesting removal (or their legal guardian if the player is a minor).

Children

The Site includes individuals who are under the age of 13 years old (“Children” or “Child”). Site services for Children require verifiable parental consent and acknowledgement of the Prep’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) Notice prior to a PREP posting a Child’s personal information to the Site. Consistent with the requirements of the COPPA, if we learn that we received any information directly from a Child without his or her parent’s verified consent, we will use that information only to inform the Child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) that no personal information will be posted to or remain on the Site. 

California Minors: If you are a California resident who is under age 18 and you are unable to remove publicly-available content on the Site, you may request removal by contacting us at: [email protected]  When requesting removal, you must be specific about the information you want removed. We are not required to remove any content or information that federal or state law requires us or a third-party to maintain or is anonymized so that you cannot be identified. Removal of your content or information from the Site does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of that content or information from our systems or the systems of our service providers. We are not required to delete the content or information posted by you; our obligations under California law are satisfied so long as we anonymize the content or information or render it invisible to other users and the public.
