What information do we collect about you?
We collect information about you when you contact us to find out more about our online system. We do this via an online form, by email, and through telephone conversations. We may supplement the information that you provide with other information that we obtain from our discussions with you - for example, about how our system might benefit your football club or coaching company.
We also collect information about you when you accept an invitation via Commentary Box to become a member of a football club or coaching company. If you are a parent of a player, we will collect information about your child too. We do this via an online form.
How will we use the information we collect about you?
When you contact us to find out more about our online system, we will use the information you provide to assess your organisation’s need for the Commentary Box system.
When you accept an invitation via Commentary Box to become a member of a football club or coaching company, we will use the information you provide for some or all of the following purposes:
- create and manage your Commentary Box user account
- create and manage your membership of the football club or coaching company
- create and manage your player profile or your child’s player profile
- notify you by email of a membership-related fee(s) and to process your payment online
- facilitate communication by text or email between you and club administrators, coaching staff, team administrators and other members
As the parent of a player, you will have the option to set up a Commentary Box user account for your child so that they too can access the Commentary Box system.
Your football club or coaching company might choose to use the Commentary Box system to record and use some or all of the following participation, performance and assessment data about you or your child:
- training and game participation
- game performance and achievements
- technical and non-technical grading and progress
We recommend you find out from your football club or coaching company whether they will be capturing this data and how they will use it.
Sharing of your information with third parties
Our system is integrated with third party systems in order to process online payments, send and receive emails, send text messages, and provide online support. Some of these integrations require access to and use of your personal information such as your name, email address and mobile phone number. We ensure that your information is properly protected and used in accordance with this privacy policy.
We will not share information about you with third parties for any other reason without your explicit consent. Where you consent to the sharing of information, you will be able to withdraw this consent at any time via your user account settings.
What steps do we take to secure your information?
We store information collected about you on secure data servers hosted in the United Kingdom.
We implement technical safeguards such as automatic back-ups and recovery, multi-factor authentication, encrypted passwords, and encrypted sessions to secure this information.
We have measures in place to ensure that your information can only be accessed, altered, disclosed or destroyed by an authorised person for a legitimate purpose.
