Privacy & data ownership
The athlete owns the record. Everything else follows from that.
A Recruit Passport is a credential an athlete carries, not a profile we hold about them. Six questions, answered plainly.
- Who owns the Passport?
- The athlete does. The record belongs to the person it describes — not to a school, a club, or a coach. If the athlete leaves, the Passport and everything in it leaves with them.
- Who can see it?
- Only the people the athlete sends it to. A Passport is not listed in a public directory and is not sold, rented, or bundled into recruiting lists. Sharing is an act the athlete performs, every time.
- What does the athlete see?
- Everything. When a coach opens the Passport, watches film, follows it for updates, or writes a message, it appears in the athlete's recruiting journey. Nothing about a Passport is hidden from the athlete it belongs to.
- Can it be corrected?
- Yes. Anything the athlete reported can be edited at any time, and the link already sent stays the same. Verified items — a transcript, an identity check — are corrected with the institution that stood behind them.
- What about athletes under 18?
- A minor's Passport carries additional protections: guardian consent for identity verification, and safety limits on messaging and sharing. Parents can read the full explanation on the parents page.
- Can it be deleted?
- Yes. An athlete can withdraw a Passport from circulation or delete the account outright. Deletion removes the record and its shared link; we keep only what the law requires us to keep.
