Privacy — Sideline

Sideline is a personal sales coach. We store the minimum we need to coach you on your own calls. We do not sell your data. We do not train public models on your transcripts.

What we collect

Account email and password hash (via Supabase Auth).
Playbook fields you save (company, product, ICP, objections, discovery areas, constraints, proof points).
Enablement files you upload to Customize (battlecards, training docs, pricing sheets, pasted talk tracks). Originals are stored in your account so you can remove them. Text from those files is sent to Anthropic to draft playbook fields.
Debrief JSON after a call: scorecards, objections, commitments, follow-up drafts, attendee names and emails when your calendar, Granola, or you provide them.
Calendar OAuth tokens (encrypted) if you connect Google Calendar or Outlook, used to read who is invited to the meeting happening now.
Gmail OAuth tokens (encrypted) if you connect Gmail. We read recent work threads to import likely companies (messages you sent, 2+ threads) and to draft a short per-prospect email brief for the next call. We store those summaries and Gmail thread ids, not full message bodies. Disconnect deletes the Gmail connection.
Waitlist email if you join before you have an invite.

What stays on your Mac

Live capture (microphone and system audio), Deepgram streaming, and the overlay run locally. Raw audio is not uploaded to Sideline servers. Transcripts and suggestion logs may remain in local files on your machine.

Model providers

Debriefs, website prefill, uploaded playbook sources, and Gmail thread briefs (when you connect Gmail) are sent to Anthropic. Live transcription uses Deepgram from your Mac. from your Mac. Their processing is governed by their terms. Do not put secrets in a playbook field you would not paste into those tools.

Recording

Live coaching captures the other party's audio from your speakers. macOS will prompt for Screen Recording because that permission is required to hear system audio; video is not captured. In two-party consent states you must tell the other party, for example: “I record my side for coaching. Is that alright?” The product asks you to confirm this on Setup before the overlay can start.

Retention and deletion

You can delete your pipeline data from Settings. That removes your rows in our database. Auth deletion of the login itself may take a follow-up email to hello@sideline.coach.
