What Dallas Hoop Scene collects, who it goes to, and how to have it removed.

Last updated 2026-10-09

This page is a draft

It describes how Dallas Hoop Scene works, and it has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer. If something here matters to a decision you are making, email tyler@dallashoopscene.com and ask.

Who we are

Dallas Hoop Scene films and sells high school basketball footage in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. Tyler Gage is the Founder & Sole Owner. Questions about anything on this page go to tyler@dallashoopscene.com.

If you visit the site

We count, without knowing who you are:

  • which pages are viewed and which buttons are tapped (for example Book, Text us, Call), counted anonymously
  • the website that sent you here, as a site name only (for example instagram.com)
  • nothing that identifies you: no name, account, IP address, cookie or device ID is stored with these counts

We use these counts to see whether changes to the site help people book. They stay on our own server and are not shared with anyone. We do not use advertising pixels or third-party analytics.

If you buy footage

We hold:

  • your name, email address and phone number
  • the player you booked: their name, jersey number, team and Instagram handle
  • which games you bought and what you paid
  • the delivery link for finished footage

Your card number never reaches us. Payments go to Square, who handle the card and send us only whether it worked.

If you are a player we film

We hold:

  • name, jersey number, team and school
  • Instagram handle, where one has been given
  • game footage, highlights and clips

Game footage is the product: families buy the film of their player. We also post clips publicly to Instagram and YouTube. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian signs for this, and either of you can ask us to take it down. See below.

If you film for us

We hold:

  • name, phone number, email address and Instagram handle
  • a profile photo, if you added one
  • the games you filmed, the work you delivered and what you were paid
  • a one-way hash of your PIN, never the PIN itself

Your PIN is stored one-way hashed, so nobody here can read it, including Tyler. Texts only go to crew who have agreed to them, and STOP ends them at once.

Who else sees it

We do not sell your information and we do not trade it. These services hold some of it because they do a job we need:

  • Square takes card payments. Card numbers go to Square and are never stored by us.
  • Twilio sends the text messages you have agreed to receive.
  • Resend sends email: receipts, delivery links and crew notices.
  • Dropbox stores game footage and the clips the crew upload.
  • Railway hosts this website and its database.
  • Cloudflare R2 holds encrypted off-site backups of that database.

We also hand footage and a player’s name to college coaches and scouting services where that is the point of the product, and only with a signed release.

How long we keep it

  • Game footage and finished tapes are kept while Dallas Hoop Scene is operating, because customers come back for them.
  • Order and payment records are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require.
  • A crew sign-in session expires 60 days after it is created, and signing out ends it immediately.
  • Backups are kept on a rolling basis and age out.

Getting it removed

Email tyler@dallashoopscene.comwith what you want removed. A parent or guardian can ask for a player’s footage, name and handle to come off the public site, Instagram and YouTube.

What we can and cannot do, honestly: we control this website, our Instagram and our YouTube, and we will take it down there. We cannot pull back a file somebody has already downloaded, and a repost by somebody else is theirs, not ours. Records we need for tax and accounting stay.

Children

This site is not aimed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information. The players we film are high school age; a parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18.

Changes

If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. We do not email about it.
