Privacy Policy

We collect information directly from you, from your parent or guardian if you are under 18, and automatically through your use of this website.

Application and program information

• Applicant's full name, date of birth, contact information, and address
• School, grade level, and athletic history
• For applicants under 18, a parent or legal guardian's name, email, phone number, and relationship to the applicant
• Information shared during screening calls or provided in supporting materials, such as highlight videos or references

Program participation information (if accepted into the program)

• Emergency contact information and, where necessary, health information relevant to training and travel
• Travel and housing details
• Academic records related to the Beyond the Pitch curriculum, delivered in partnership with Sportrail

Photos and video

• With separate, optional consent, photos and video taken during training or program activities

Website usage information

• Basic technical information collected automatically through Google Analytics, described in Section 9

We use the information we collect to:

• Review and process applications
• Communicate with applicants, and with parents or guardians for applicants under 18, about the program
• Administer the program for accepted players, including coordination with our partner clubs, Real Sports Club and Glentoran FC, and our education partner, Sportrail
• Respond to questions and provide support
• With separate consent, use photos or video for marketing on our website and social media
• Meet legal, safety, and administrative obligations

We do not use application information for automated decision-making, and we do not sell personal information.

Most Bravia Sports applicants are 18 or older. For those who are under 18:

• We require a parent or legal guardian's contact information and consent as part of the application
• We communicate directly with the parent or guardian about the application and program, in addition to the applicant
• A parent or guardian can request to review, correct, or delete their child's information at any time by contacting us (see Section 8)

We share information only as needed to operate the program:

• Partner clubs and education partner: Real Sports Club, Glentoran FC, and Sportrail receive the information needed to coordinate training, housing, and the Beyond the Pitch curriculum for accepted players
• Service providers: companies that help us operate, such as our email, website hosting, analytics, and CRM providers, under obligations to protect your information
• Legal requirements: if required by law, or to protect the safety of a player or others

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Because Bravia Sports recruits players based in the United States and operates programs in Portugal and Belfast, Ireland, information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than where you live. We take reasonable steps to protect information wherever it is processed.

We retain application information for as long as reasonably necessary to process the application, and if the applicant is not accepted, for a limited period afterward in case of a future application. If accepted, we retain program participation information for the duration of the program and afterward as needed for legitimate business, legal, or safety purposes. You can request earlier deletion at any time (see Section 8).

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we collect. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You, or if you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian, may:

• Request access to the personal information we hold
• Request that we correct inaccurate information
• Request that we delete information, subject to legal or program related retention needs
• Withdraw consent for photo or video use at any time going forward
