CHILD SAFETY POLICY

Most Fieldproof athletes are minors. These rules are not optional and they are enforced before recruiting features unlock.

Last updated September 2026

Parental consent

Every athlete account records a birthdate. Athletes under 18 must enter a parent or guardian email at signup and confirm consent. The guardian claims the link from their own account, which is recorded with a timestamp.

Contact details stay protected

Phone numbers, email addresses and home locations are never shown on a public profile for a minor. Coaches contact minors through the platform, and the linked guardian can see that activity.

Who can search athletes

Athlete search is limited to coach accounts that have been manually approved by Fieldproof. An institutional email address alone is not enough — we confirm the person's role against the program's published athletics staff directory before access is granted.

Zero tolerance

  • Any sexualised, grooming, or personal-relationship contact with a minor.
  • Requests to move a conversation off-platform to avoid guardian visibility.
  • Impersonating a coach, program, or family member.
  • Sharing a minor's contact details, schedule or location without consent.

Accounts are removed immediately and reported to the relevant authorities and, where applicable, the coach's institution.

Reporting

Anyone — athlete, parent, coach or bystander — can report a concern. Reports about a minor are reviewed first. Report a concern, or email safety@fieldproofathlete.com. If a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.
