How Go2Pro protects young footballers and their families
Parent-linked accounts for under-18s, validated videos, parent KYC before any professional contact, no data sale, a clear transition at 18 and a Safeguarding Team for reports.
Protection Built Into the Product
Go2Pro is designed around GDPR and COPPA. Protection is not a page in the settings — it is how accounts, videos and contacts work.
A Minor's Account Is Always Parent-Linked
A player under 18 is never alone on the platform. Every minor account is linked to a parent or guardian, who oversees the profile, visibility and communications from their own account.
Videos Are Validated Before They Are Seen
Uploaded videos go through validation before they become visible to professionals. Content that is unsuitable, misleading or unsafe does not reach the professional feed.
Parents See Who They Talk To
Before a parent can view a professional's identity and reply to a contact request, the parent completes identity verification (KYC). Professionals, in turn, are verified before they can request contact at all.
No Direct Contact With Minors
Professionals cannot contact minors directly and cannot bypass the parent. All contact runs through the parent-linked, consent-based flow, and a profile can be hidden from professionals at any time.
No Sale of Data
Go2Pro does not sell personal data, and minors are never behaviourally targeted. Advertising, where present, is contextual and clearly labelled.
What Changes at 18
When a player turns 18, the parent link is converted into an independent adult account. The player then accepts the adult Terms and Privacy Policy and manages the profile directly.
Reporting
Concerns can be reported at any time to the Safeguarding Team from the Safety Centre. Reports are reviewed by people, not only by systems.
