Last updated: June 2026. This policy applies to all coaches, scouts, and administrators using the ScoutLink platform.
By registering on ScoutLink you confirm that you have obtained verifiable parental or guardian consent for all players aged 6 to 16. This is a legal requirement under UK GDPR, the Children Act 1989, and KCSIE (Keeping Children Safe in Education) guidelines.
ScoutLink is operated by Stratex Analytics. We act as a data controller under UK GDPR. Contact us at info@scoutlink.app for any data-related queries.
We collect the following data about players: full name, date of birth, nationality, email address or parent/guardian email address (for players aged 6–16), position, physical attributes (described using ranges, not precise measurements), performance ratings, match statistics, video content, and avatar configuration. We do not collect photographs of players.
For any player under the age of 16, coaches must obtain explicit written or verifiable parental/guardian consent before submitting their information. By checking the consent box during registration, the coach confirms this consent has been obtained and is on file. ScoutLink reserves the right to remove any player data where consent cannot be confirmed. Parent/guardian email addresses will only be used for notifications directly relevant to their child's profile.
Player data is used exclusively for: (a) enabling scouts at professional and semi-professional clubs to identify talent; (b) generating AI-driven compatibility, development and transfer value assessments; (c) producing aggregate statistics and performance analytics. We do not sell personal data to third parties.
Player profiles are retained for as long as the associated coach account is active, or until deletion is requested. Upon request, all data can be removed within 30 days in accordance with the Right to Erasure under UK GDPR.
ScoutLink does not permit players to upload photographs of themselves. Avatar images are computer-generated only. Video content is voluntary and subject to coach/guardian approval. All data is stored on EU servers (Supabase, AWS eu-central-1) and protected by industry-standard encryption.
Players, parents, and coaches may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their data at any time by emailing info@scoutlink.app. We will respond within 30 days.
By registering, coaches agree to: (a) only add players for whom they hold appropriate consent; (b) keep player information accurate and up to date; (c) not add any player's photograph to the platform; (d) notify ScoutLink immediately if any player or parent/guardian withdraws consent. Breach of these obligations may result in immediate suspension of the coach account.
