Youth Safety & Parent Policy
SportCV is owned and operated by Green Roads LLC, doing business as SportCV. The platform helps young athletes share their sports journey while keeping parent or legal guardian control central to profile creation, visibility, media, contact requests, and account decisions.
Visibility for young athletes. Control for families.
SportCV is built so youth athlete profiles can be represented professionally while keeping parents and legal guardians involved.
Youth profiles and parental control
SportCV currently supports athlete profiles for ages 6 and older. Athlete profiles for users ages 6–17 must be created and managed by a parent or legal guardian. The adult represents that they have legal authority to act for the athlete and controls profile details, visibility, media, contact permissions, account updates, removal requests, and safety decisions. Children under 13 may not independently submit personal information or manage a profile. Before an under-13 profile is created, the parent reviews a direct notice, completes SportCV’s parental-consent process, makes the required public-display decision, and provides the requested electronic signature or other verification information. SportCV does not currently permit athlete profiles for children under age 6.
What information can be public?
SportCV profiles are meant to show athletic development, not expose private personal information. Youth profiles use limited, sports-relevant public information selected by the parent or legal guardian.
- May be public: athlete name, sport, role/position, one two-year age group, city/region, country, skills, achievements, photos, and highlight video. The only youth age labels are Age Group 6–7, Age Group 8–9, Age Group 10–11, Age Group 12–13, Age Group 14–15, and Age Group 16–17.
- Not displayed publicly: exact youth age, date of birth, home address, private email, private phone number, exact school or practice schedule, or other sensitive personal details.
- Location: SportCV uses general location such as city, state/region, and country instead of exact addresses for youth athletes.
- Media: photos and videos must be sports-related, appropriate, and submitted or approved by the parent or legal guardian.
Who can request information about under-18 athletes?
SportCV does not publicly display private contact details or exact schedules for youth athletes. Contact permission and additional information are requested through controlled, reviewable SportCV tools.
Green Roads LLC does not guarantee or endorse the identity, intentions, conduct, organization, or opportunity described by any requester. Parents and legal guardians remain responsible for independently evaluating all requests, meetings, travel, payments, contracts, and offline communication.
- Coaches, scouts, clubs, teams, schools, academies, trainers, event organizers, sponsors, and other sports-related requesters may request contact when allowed by profile settings.
- Parent/guardian review: contact requests for under-18 athletes are routed through parent/legal-guardian controls before messaging access opens.
- No direct public private details: youth profiles do not publicly display private phone numbers, private emails, home addresses, or exact school/practice schedules.
- Unsafe contact: suspicious, inappropriate, misleading, or abusive contact may be restricted, blocked, reported, or removed.
How contact requests should work
Parental consent for athletes under 13
SportCV uses a parent-account consent flow for athletes ages 6–12. The profile information stays in the parent’s browser session until the parent completes the required consent step.
- Direct notice: The parent reviews the information SportCV plans to collect, how it will be used, and what may become public.
- Parental consent: Consent for collection and private profile management is separate from public-display authorization.
- Electronic record: SportCV ties the consent record to the authenticated parent account and requested electronic signature. Additional parent/legal-guardian verification may be required when reasonably necessary or required by law.
Consent record and withdrawal
SportCV may record the consent wording, choices, policy versions, signature hash, timestamp, profile ID, IP address, user agent, integrity hashes, and a unique consent reference so the authorization can be reviewed and later changes can be detected.
- Private-only choice: The profile may be managed privately without authorization for public display.
- Public-display choice: Search, sharing, public media, and contact controls stay locked unless public display is authorized.
- Withdrawal: The parent can withdraw consent from the parent dashboard. Public access is disabled immediately.
- Additional verification: An electronic signature or authenticated account record does not prevent SportCV from requiring further proof of parent/legal-guardian identity or authority when reasonably necessary or required by law.
Reporting a profile or message
Users, parents, guardians, coaches, scouts, and visitors can report content or behavior that may be unsafe, false, inappropriate, unauthorized, or harmful.
- Fake or impersonation profile
- Unauthorized youth athlete profile
- Inappropriate photo, video, message, or contact request
- Harassment, bullying, pressure, or unsafe behavior
- False sports claims, misleading identity, or suspicious scouting/recruiting activity
Removing or restricting accounts
SportCV may review reports and take action to protect athletes, parents, and the platform. This may include content removal, contact restrictions, profile hiding, account suspension, or account removal.
- Parent removal requests: parents/legal guardians may request removal or restriction of a youth athlete profile they believe is unauthorized or unsafe.
- Safety review: SportCV may temporarily hide content while reviewing a safety concern.
- Policy violations: accounts that misuse SportCV, misrepresent identity, or contact youth athletes inappropriately may be restricted or removed.
