Your Privacy at Prestbury

Things like your name, age, team, attendance, football development, match information and contact details. We may also need health information such as allergies, medication, injuries or rehabilitation information so we can support you safely.

Not everyone can see everything. Coaches see information they need for their role. Medical and welfare information is more restricted. Some medical notes are kept confidential to authorised medical staff unless there is a reason to share them with you or your parent/carer.

We sometimes record matches or training using Veo so coaches and players can learn from football. That does not automatically mean the video will be put on social media. Public photos and clips use separate media rules. On public youth lineup graphics we use your first name and the first letter of your surname by default.

Some Academy tools can use AI to help staff draft or summarise information. A person still has to review important decisions. AI does not automatically decide whether you are selected, released, fit to play, disciplined or involved in a safeguarding outcome.

If you think something we hold about you is wrong, you are worried about how it is being used, or you want to understand who can see it, speak to a parent/carer, coach, welfare officer or another trusted Academy adult. Depending on your age and understanding, you may be able to exercise your own data-protection rights.
