You are the one keeping the paperwork. This is where it goes.
Every measurable, every clip, every transcript your athlete has collected — in one document they own, that you control while they are a minor, and that no club can take back when they leave.
Built once, carried for years.
Club to club, school to college. The record and every signature on it belong to your athlete, permanently.
Unlisted, and yours to close.
Reachable only by the link you hand out. No directory, no search results, and you can hide anything at any time.
No fee, no list, no ranking.
Your athlete’s name is never sent anywhere. There is nothing here to buy and nobody paying us for access.
What we promise, and how it is enforced.
Any company can write a reassuring sentence about privacy. Here is what actually leaves the database when someone opens your athlete’s passport, and what never can.
Below, each promise is paired with the mechanism behind it, so you can judge whether it would survive us changing our minds.
A passport is reachable only by its exact link or number. There is no directory, no search, and no way to page through athletes. Every page carries a no-index instruction, so it does not appear in search results.
Birthdate, email, phone and street address are never part of a public record. Location is shown at city level and no finer. These are not settings a family can accidentally get wrong — the published record cannot carry those fields at all.
For an athlete under 18, a parent or guardian confirms the record and manages it. Accounts belong to people; passports belong to athletes. The two are kept separate on purpose.
Grade point average is public by default because coaches ask for it, and can be hidden in one action. Hiding it removes it from the published record entirely rather than merely styling it out of view.
Every human view of the passport is logged and shown to the family, with where it came from. Automated crawlers are filtered out so the count reflects people.
There is no advertising, no data brokerage and no leaderboard. Rankings would turn a record into a competition and give us a reason to want your child's data for something other than their benefit.
What this is instead of.
Most families meet recruiting as a service someone sells them. It is worth being explicit about how this differs, because the difference is the whole point.
You pay. They distribute.
- A fee, often in the low thousands
- Your athlete’s details sent to a list of programs
- A profile on their site, which they own
- Value that ends when you stop paying
The product being sold is exposure.
You hold it. You send it.
- No fee to a family, and nothing to upgrade
- Nothing sent anywhere — you choose who gets the link
- A document your athlete owns, permanently
- Every signature stays whatever happens to us
The product being built is credibility.
Why a record and not a profile.
A profile invites comparison, follower counts and the sense that being seen more is being worth more. A record does none of that. It states what your athlete has done, who witnessed it, and when — and then it sits still.
Corrections work the same way. Nothing already filed is deleted or quietly rewritten; a correction is added alongside and supersedes what came before, with both dates visible. A record that could be edited after the fact would not be worth showing to a coach, and it would not be honest to your athlete either.
What we are still building.
Our full privacy policy and terms are being written now, with counsel, before we open the product to families who arrive without a club. Until they are published, passports are issued through organizations we have set up by hand.
If you want to know exactly what is held about your athlete, or you want a record removed, write to privacy@myathletepassport.com and a person will answer you.
Questions are welcome, including the uncomfortable ones.
We would rather answer them now than have you wonder later.
