Privacy & Data Ethics

Athlete data is deeply personal, and it must be treated with the highest level of care. At VANSKYE TENNIS SCIENCE (TENNIS SCIENCE FZ-LLC), every data point, from HRV and hormonal rhythms to recovery and readiness signals, is managed with integrity, transparency, and respect. You remain in full control. Understanding your physiology should never require compromising your privacy.

Data Ownership

All physiometric performance data remains the property of the athlete. Athletes and their coaching teams retain full control over how information is accessed, applied, and shared. Nothing is used beyond the Integrated Support Team (IST) without explicit consent.

Data Collection

Only data essential to readiness, recovery, and resilience modeling is collected. This may include HRV, hormonal rhythms, sleep metrics, hydration balance, metabolic efficiency, respiratory dynamics, thermal strain, RPE, and environmental stress variables. When possible, data is anonymized to further protect athlete identity.

Data Use

Collected data is used exclusively to build athlete-specific adaptive digital human performance systems. These data systems translate internal signals into an actionable performance intelligence layer that supports training load, recovery sequencing, taper alignment, travel adaptation, and match readiness. Data is never repurposed for external research or commercial use without direct permission.

Confidentiality

All data is handled in strict confidence. Information is never shared with third parties, sponsors, or external organizations without explicit athlete approval. Reports and analyses remain private to the athlete and their IST.

Data Storage & Security

Physiometric performance data is stored securely in encrypted file vault systems that comply with international privacy standards such as GDPR. Access is restricted to Daniel Alexander van Skye, DBA, and authorized coaching staff where agreed. Security protocols are continuously updated to guard against unauthorized access or misuse.

Data Retention

Data is retained only for as long as collaboration is active. Upon request, all data is deleted permanently and securely, ensuring no trace remains beyond the intended use.

Athlete Rights

Athletes have the right to:

  • Access their data at any time.

  • Request corrections to inaccuracies.

  • Request deletion of all stored data.

  • Decide which members of their coaching team may access outputs and reports.

Our Principles

  1. Athlete Ownership: All data belongs to the athlete. Nothing leaves the IST without consent.

  2. Transparency: We explain what is collected, how it is used, and how it supports readiness, recovery, and resilience.

  3. Minimalism in Data Use: Only what is necessary is collected and stored.

  4. Confidentiality: Analyses and outputs remain private to the athlete and their IST.

  5. Security: All storage and processing environments are encrypted and safeguarded.

  6. Respect for Health Contexts: Female-specific physiology data, including hormonal rhythm monitoring and menstrual phase tracking, is handled with heightened sensitivity and discretion.

Our Commitment

VANSKYE TENNIS SCIENCE (TENNIS SCIENCE FZ-LLC) exists to provide clarity, not compromise. The mission is to transform complex signals into structured decision logic while protecting the integrity, privacy, and trust of every athlete we support.
