How we collect, use, and protect your personal information at OKAKA FOOTBALL ACADEMY.
OKAKA FOOTBALL ACADEMY (“the Academy”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of every player, parent, guardian, and visitor who engages with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
We collect information you provide during registration, enrolment, and general use of our website, including player and parent or guardian names, dates of birth, contact details, addresses, photographs, playing experience, and any medical information you choose to share for safety and safeguarding purposes.
We use your information to process registrations and enrolments, manage training sessions and match day logistics, communicate academy updates, process payments, and comply with legal and league obligations. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
Because we train minors, registration must be completed by a parent or legal guardian, and the information supplied is given with their consent. Guardians may withdraw consent by contacting the Academy, subject to record-keeping obligations.
Our website may use cookies and basic analytics to keep the site secure, remember session preferences, and understand how visitors use our pages. You can disable cookies in your browser, although some features may then work less smoothly.
We share personal information only where necessary: with coaching and medical staff for training and welfare, with leagues and competition organisers where required for participation, with payment processors for fee transactions, and with authorities where the law requires it.
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data held in our systems, including restricted administrative access. No online transmission is completely secure, so please also keep your account credentials confidential.
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, for historical squad and performance records, or as required by applicable law, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections, or request deletion where lawful. To exercise these rights, please reach us through the contact details on our Contact page.
Photographs and videos taken during training and matches may be used on our website, social media, and promotional materials. Media preferences are captured at registration and can be updated at any time.
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is always published on this page, and continued use of our website after changes means you accept the updated policy.
