Child Safety & Safeguarding

Our Commitment to Child Safety

FutureElite is designed with child safety as a top priority. We have implemented multiple safeguards to protect children and ensure a safe environment for all users.

1. No Direct Child-to-Scout Contact

FutureElite does not enable direct communication between children and scouts, coaches, or any third parties. The application has no messaging features, chat functionality, or direct contact mechanisms.

No in-app messaging or chat
No direct contact information sharing between users
No social networking features
No public forums or discussion boards

2. No Public Profiles

FutureElite does not create public profiles that can be viewed by others. All data is private and controlled by the account holder (parent or guardian):

Player information is not searchable by others
No public directory or player database
No profile pages visible to other users
Data is only accessible to the account owner

3. Parent/Guardian Controlled Sharing

All report sharing is controlled exclusively by the parent or guardian account holder:

Only the account owner can generate and export PDF reports
Reports are shared only when the account owner explicitly chooses to share them
No automatic sharing or distribution
Account owner decides who receives reports and when

4. Personal Contact Information

Important Safety Advice

Never share personal contact details publicly. When sharing PDF reports:

Only include contact information you are comfortable sharing
Consider using a dedicated email address for scouting inquiries
Do not include home addresses or personal phone numbers unless necessary
Verify the identity of recipients before sharing sensitive information

5. Photo Safety

Photos uploaded to FutureElite are stored locally on your device and only included in PDF reports you choose to generate. We recommend:

Only using appropriate photos (e.g., action shots, team photos)
Avoiding photos that reveal personal information (home address, school name, etc.)
Ensuring photos are appropriate for professional sharing
Reviewing photos before including them in reports
