Clubs use P.A.S.T. to manage their own club activities. The club you join is responsible for using club information lawfully and appropriately. This notice explains the platform’s general handling of information.
Information we handle
Depending on how you use P.A.S.T., the service may handle:
- account details such as your name, email address and sign-in verification status;
- club and team memberships, roles, invitations and team links;
- parent-managed child or player profiles, including dates of birth, positions, shirt numbers and photographs where provided;
- fixtures, results, attendance, availability, votes and performance information;
- messages, conversation participation and images or other content that users choose to share;
- privacy choices, photo consent, support or privacy requests and safeguarding reports; and
- technical information needed to authenticate accounts, keep the service secure and prevent misuse.
Why we use it
Information is used to provide authentication, club administration, team participation, communications, safeguarding, statistics, requested exports and account or membership actions. We do not use child or player information for advertising.
Who can see it
Access is limited by club, team and role permissions. Club administrators and assigned team staff may see information needed for their responsibilities. Parents or guardians manage child information connected to their account. Safeguarding reports are intended only for authorised safeguarding personnel and relevant club administrators.
Photos and consent
Users and authorised club staff can manage the available photo-consent choices in the app. Consent can be withdrawn, although a club may need to retain a record of the decision or information required for safeguarding, legal, insurance or dispute purposes.
Children and young people
P.A.S.T. is designed for club-managed participation. Children should not use adult private messaging, and parents or guardians should manage child profiles and photo permissions where appropriate. Clubs must apply suitable age, safeguarding and data-protection practices for their activities.
Sharing and service providers
Information is shared only as needed to operate the service, provide authentication, store club content, deliver requested communications, process privacy actions, maintain security or meet a legal or safeguarding obligation. P.A.S.T. does not sell personal information.
Retention and deletion
Information should be kept only for as long as it is needed for the club activity or a documented legal, safeguarding, insurance or dispute purpose. You can request access, export, correction, restriction, objection or deletion through the app. Account deletion may be delayed or limited where an active retention hold applies.
Your choices and rights
You can update profile information, manage photo consent, export available information, leave a club where permitted, submit a privacy request or delete your account from the app. Identity checks, redaction or confirmation from the responsible club may be needed. You may also complain to the data-protection authority responsible for your location.
Contact
For a club-specific question, contact the club administrator or safeguarding officer shown in your club. For help using P.A.S.T., visit the public support page.
