Effective date: 1 September 2026

Sentinel Goalkeeper Training ("Sentinel", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of children and parents/guardians who participate in our goalkeeper training programme.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it and the rights you have in relation to that information.

1. Who We Are

Sentinel Goalkeeper Training provides specialist goalkeeper coaching sessions for young players.

For the purposes of data protection law, Sentinel Goalkeeper Training is responsible for deciding how and why personal information is used.

Where bookings and registrations are made through ClassForKids, ClassForKids may also process personal information in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms.

We only ask for information that is reasonably necessary to operate the sessions safely and effectively.

3. How We Use Personal Information

  • Contact parents/guardians in an emergency
  • Respond to enquiries
  • Manage payments
  • Ensure appropriate health and safety arrangements
  • Communicate changes to sessions or venues
  • Maintain appropriate safeguarding records
  • Improve the quality of our coaching programme
  • Meet our legal and insurance obligations

We will not use children's personal information for purposes unrelated to the operation and safeguarding of the goalkeeper programme unless we have an appropriate lawful basis to do so.

4. Children's Information

We recognise that the information we collect relates to children and therefore take particular care when handling it.

We aim to collect only information that is necessary, keep it secure and use it only for appropriate purposes.

Children have data protection rights, and we will consider the child's age, maturity and understanding when dealing with requests concerning their personal information.

5. Medical & Emergency Information

Medical and emergency information is collected to help us keep participants safe.

This information will only be accessed by people who need it for legitimate purposes, such as appropriate members of the coaching team.

We will not use medical information for marketing or unrelated purposes.

Where necessary to protect a child's health or safety, information may be shared with emergency services or other appropriate individuals.

6. Sharing Personal Information

We do not sell children's or parents' personal information.

Personal information may be shared where reasonably necessary with:

  • ClassForKids, where they provide booking and registration services
  • Payment providers where required to process payments
  • Coaching staff where necessary to deliver safe and appropriate training
  • Emergency services where required
  • Relevant authorities or organisations where we have a legal or safeguarding obligation to do so

We take appropriate care when sharing children's information and only share information where there is a legitimate and appropriate reason. The ICO recommends particular care when sharing children's personal information.

7. Photography & Video

From time to time, Sentinel may wish to take photographs or videos during training for coaching, promotional or social media purposes.

We will only use a child's photograph or video for promotional purposes where the appropriate permission has been provided.

Parents/guardians can choose whether to provide permission where a separate photography/video consent option is provided.

If permission has not been provided, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the child is not intentionally featured in promotional photography or video.

8. Marketing

We may use parent/guardian contact details to provide information about Sentinel sessions, future programmes, availability or related services where we have an appropriate lawful basis to do so.

We will not use children's personal information to send them direct marketing.

Parents/guardians may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

9. How We Protect Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorised access
  • Loss
  • Accidental disclosure
  • Unauthorised alteration
  • Unnecessary use

Access to personal information is restricted to people who have a legitimate reason to use it.

However, no method of storing or transmitting information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. How Long We Keep Information

We will keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Some information may need to be retained for longer where required for:

  • Legal obligations
  • Accounting and financial records
  • Insurance purposes
  • Safeguarding
  • Resolving complaints or disputes

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or dispose of it.

11. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights including:

  • The right to know how personal information is being used

  • The right to request deletion of information in certain circumstances
  • The right to object to certain uses of information
  • The right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

Children also have data protection rights over their own personal information. Depending on their age, maturity and understanding, they may be able to exercise those rights themselves.

12. Keeping Information Accurate

Parents/guardians are responsible for informing Sentinel if important information changes, particularly:

  • Telephone numbers
  • Emergency contacts
  • Medical information
  • Allergies
  • Relevant support requirements

This helps us maintain accurate and safe records.

13. ClassForKids

Bookings and registrations may be managed through ClassForKids.

When you use ClassForKids to register your child, ClassForKids may process personal information in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Parents/guardians should also review ClassForKids' privacy information when making a booking.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, legal requirements or how we handle personal information.

The latest version will be made available to parents/guardians.
