About parental consent
1. Why we ask for consent
Athletic Advantage collects daily wellness information from student-athletes — things like sleep, soreness, energy, mood, stress, and pain. We ask a parent or guardian to consent for every athlete under 18 before this starts. Your child starts the consent request when they sign up in the app and enter your name and email address (a school administrator can also send one). We email it to you from noreply@athleticadvantageschool.com and host the page where you respond to it. When you respond, we store your answer with the time and the IP address it came from.
2. What information your child provides
If you consent, your child can complete a short daily wellness check-in, log training sessions, and be assigned recovery or development activities by their coach. This may also include sensitive information such as injury history or health conditions, where relevant to their training. For an athlete under 18, the app takes no check-in before consent is granted.
Coaches and the school also record information about your child. A coach can keep private notes about them and add comments about them. When a concern needs the school's attention, such as a safeguarding concern, it is recorded as a case, with its severity, notes on what was done, and its outcome. The app also stores the short daily insight its AI writes for your child.
3. Who can see it
Your child's data is visible to your child, the coaches on their specific team, their school's admin staff, the service providers named in our Privacy Policy, and, for their name and email address, any AI assistant one of their coaches connects to that coach's own account — and to no one else. It is never visible to another school, another team's coach, or used for any purpose outside supporting your child's training and wellbeing.
A coach's private notes are read only by that coach, and by the school's admin staff when the coach marks a note for them. A case is read by the school's admin staff and your child's team coach. Your child can read comments about them, and only your child can read their AI daily insight.
4. This isn't a medical service
Athletic Advantage is a wellness and training-support tool, not a medical service. Nothing it shows is a diagnosis, a clinical assessment, or a substitute for advice from a doctor, physiotherapist, or athletic trainer. The coach's view marks an athlete Monitor when something is worth watching (for example a recovery score from 50 to 69) and At risk when something needs attention (for example illness, pain or a recovery score under 50). Coaches are asked to treat either mark as a prompt to check in with an athlete — not as a medical finding.
5. No check-ins before you decide
The app takes no check-in from a student-athlete under 18 until their parent or guardian has given consent. If you decline, or simply haven't responded yet, your child's account will not collect wellness data.
6. Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting your child's school directly. Once withdrawn, we stop collecting new wellness data for that athlete — the school can tell you what happens to data already recorded. If the school no longer subscribes, email hello@athleticadvantageschool.com and we will record your withdrawal.
7. Who to contact
For questions about a specific consent request, contact the school your child attends: its administrators can see the request and send it again. For general questions about how Athletic Advantage handles data, email hello@
