Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide, information generated when you use AyO, and limited information from authorized third parties.

• Account and identity details, such as name, email, date of birth, location, role, and login information.
• Athlete and football information, such as position, team, experience, achievements, goals, photos, videos, moments, and opportunities.
• Guardian information, permissions, consent records, and the relationship to a young athlete.
• Professional information, such as organization, role, credentials, verification data, watchlists, and activity.
• Technical and usage information, such as device, browser, IP address, pages viewed, interactions, diagnostics, security logs, and approximate location.
• Messages, feedback, reports, and communications sent to AyO.

2. How we use information

We use information to provide and personalize AyO; create and display profiles and content according to user settings; connect athletes with relevant people and opportunities; verify accounts and professional roles; support Guardian-managed experiences; maintain safety, security, integrity, and moderation; provide support; analyze and improve the service; and comply with legal obligations.

• We do not sell personal information.
• We do not use numeric public ratings for minors.
• Advertising, when offered, is subject to AyO's youth-safety and contextual advertising controls.

3. Young athletes and Guardians

AyO is designed with additional protections for young athletes. Accounts and participation for children under 13 must be created and managed through an authorized Guardian where available. We may request parental or Guardian consent before collecting, using, displaying, or sharing a child's information. Guardians may manage permissions and request access, correction, or deletion.

• Young-athlete visibility and contact options are limited by age, role, consent, and safety settings.
• Professionals may be subject to verification and role-based access before contacting or evaluating young athletes.
• If you believe a child provided information without appropriate authorization, contact us immediately.

4. When we share information

We share information only as needed to operate AyO, follow user choices, protect the community, or meet legal requirements.

• With other users according to profile visibility, consent, and platform features.
• With Guardians connected to a young athlete.
• With service providers that support hosting, authentication, storage, analytics, communications, security, and support under appropriate obligations.
• With authorities or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights and safety, investigate abuse, or prevent fraud.
• In connection with a corporate transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.

5. Data retention and security

We retain information for as long as needed to provide AyO, meet legal and safety requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention varies by data type and account status. We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to certain uses of personal information, withdraw consent, and appeal a decision. You may also manage account and visibility settings. We may verify your identity before completing a request.

• California residents may have rights under applicable California privacy law, including rights to know, correct, and delete certain information and to opt out of sale or sharing. AyO does not sell personal information.
• Brazil residents may exercise applicable rights under the LGPD, including confirmation, access, correction, portability where applicable, deletion or anonymization, and information about sharing.

7. International use

AyO may process information in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. When required, we use appropriate mechanisms and safeguards for international transfers.

8. Third-party services

AyO may link to or display content from third-party services, such as video platforms. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review them before using those services.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy as AyO evolves. We will post the updated version and change the date above. When required, we will provide additional notice or request consent.
