3. Interaction with Children
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) governs information gathering from or about children under the age of 13. Although Studathlete.com requires all of its Members to be at least 13 years old, Members are able to create profiles of student athletes, including those under the age of 13 (“Profile”), under their Studathlete.com account. Members can edit or delete a Profile by accessing their account. Studathlete.com does not disclose personal information it has collected from children to third parties without obtaining verifiable parental consent. Verifiable consent from a child's parent or guardian is required before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from a child under the age of 13.
When Studathlete.com collects information about a child under 13 years old, COPPA required information and instructions will be accessible from the specific Web page that collects information about the child.
Studathlete.com allows registered coaches to access our database of student athletes for scholarship opportunities. Information regarding the student athlete’s first name, age, sport statistics, and club will be accessible to registered coaches. If a coach is interested in a particular student athlete, they can send an email to Studathlete.com, which in turn, notifies the Member about an interest in the student athlete. The Member can then choose to disclose further information about the student athlete by contacting the coach directly.
