Safe Sport
We never hold the tape. That is the product.
Youth swim film does not belong on a random server. Deck Stills keeps the full video on the phone that opened it. The only thing that leaves is the handful of stills you choose to export, and where they go is your decision.
- Custody. Video is read on-device. We do not operate a clip archive, a roster of minors, or a “team library.”
- Consent stays yours. Written parent/guardian consent, who may see the stills, and how long you keep them are club and family decisions. We cannot grant what we never received.
- Deck only. Do not film locker rooms, bathrooms, changing areas, or shots from behind the blocks aimed at athletes rather than the start. The app will not make a prohibited camera legal.
- What leaves the phone is a pack you export. A PDF or sheet in Files is still an image of an athlete. Share it the way your club policy already requires — not because a cloud checkbox said yes.
- No one-on-one backchannel. We do not message athletes. There is no in-app chat with minors.
- Platforms will still scan what you upload elsewhere. If you drop a pack into a consumer AI chat, that service’s rules apply. We do not route the file for you.
This is architecture, not a waiver. Follow USA Swimming / U.S. Center for SafeSport (or your NGB) photography and electronic-communication policy. If a parent refuses film, that is the end of the conversation.
