Minor Safeguarding Policy

Last updated: draft, not yet published.

Our commitment

SoccerTalentsBank exists to help academies reach legitimate clubs and agents, never to expose minors to direct, unmoderated contact from strangers.

Guardian consent

No minor's profile is published without a guardian consent record, including the guardian's identity document, reviewed and approved by a human moderator. Self-attestation by an academy is never sufficient.

What buyers never see

• A minor's contact details or guardian's contact details
• Exact date of birth (only age and birth year)
• School name
• Home location finer than state/region

Moderated contact only

Every inquiry about a minor is routed to the academy through our moderation team. There is never a direct channel to the player or guardian.

FIFA Article 19

We display a notice on every minor's profile and inquiry form regarding FIFA's restrictions on the international transfer of players under 18.

Reporting a concern

Use the report/flag option on any profile or message, or contact us directly.
