• Obtaining all necessary consents from parents or legal guardians prior to entering participant information into the Platform
• Complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and any other applicable laws governing the collection of information from minors
• Ensuring that any public display of minor participants' information is appropriate and consented to

If we become aware that we have collected personal information directly from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. To report a concern, contact us at contact@firststarsports.com.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your information, we will notify affected Organizations in accordance with applicable law.
