Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Afriskaut Inc. (“Afriskaut”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, shares and protects personal data in connection with our scouting and player intelligence platform and related services (the “Platform” and “Services”). It applies to our website at www.afriskaut.com, the Platform, and any related communications.

Afriskaut is a sports recruitment intelligence and data analytics company. We identify, profile and present football talent to professional and semi professional clubs, agencies and other football stakeholders. Because of the nature of our business, we process two broad categories of personal data: (i) data relating to the users of our Platform, and (ii) data relating to the football players whose profiles appear on the Platform. This Policy addresses both.

Please read this Policy alongside our Platform Terms of Use. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Platform.

Afriskaut Inc. is a company incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States, with its principal place of business at 701 Tillery Street, Unit 12, 3501, Austin, TX 78702, United States.

For any privacy related question, request or complaint, contact us at:

• Email: hello@afriskaut.com
• Postal: Afriskaut Inc., 701 Tillery Street, Unit 12, 3501, Austin, TX 78702, United States

Where required by law, we will designate a representative or data protection contact for individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom. Those details will be published here once designated.

Platform users (clubs, agencies, scouts, sporting directors and their personnel):

• Identity and contact data — name, job title, organisation, email address, telephone number.
• Account data — login credentials, account settings and preferences.
• Transaction and billing data — subscription details, billing contact, and payment information (processed by our payment provider; see Section 7).
• Usage data — how you interact with the Platform, including searches, profiles viewed, features used, device and browser information, IP address and log data.
• Communications — correspondence with us, including support requests and enquiries.

Player data subjects (players profiled on the Platform):

• Identity data — name, date of birth, nationality, and where relevant passport or identification details provided by the player, their club or academy.
• Sporting and performance data — position, statistics, performance metrics, scouting reports, match and training footage, and analytical assessments.
• Career data — current and former clubs, contract status where lawfully provided, and representation status.

Player profiles are typically provided to us by clubs, academies or authorised intermediaries, or compiled from information that is lawfully available. Players are generally not the users who register for the Platform. Section 5 explains the legal bases on which we process player data.

The Platform is intended for use by professional football stakeholders and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly allow individuals under the age of 18 to register as Platform users.

We recognise, however, that some player profiles may relate to individuals who are under the age of 18. We treat data relating to minors with heightened care. In particular:

• We only process minor player data where there is a lawful basis to do so and, where required, appropriate consent from a parent, legal guardian, club or academy with authority to provide it.
• We limit the data we hold on minors to what is necessary for legitimate scouting and recruitment purposes.
• We do not knowingly use minor data for any purpose that could facilitate harm, and we apply additional safeguards around access and retention.
• We comply with the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, including the rules protecting minors, and with applicable data protection law relating to children.

If you believe we hold data relating to a minor without an appropriate lawful basis, contact us at hello@afriskaut.com and we will review and, where appropriate, remove it promptly.

Afriskaut is based in the United States and works with clubs, players and partners across Africa, Europe and elsewhere. Personal data may therefore be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the one in which it was collected, including the United States.

Where we transfer personal data from the EEA or UK to a country not recognised as providing an adequate level of protection, we put in place appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

For players whose profiles appear on the Platform: you may request access to, correction of, or removal of your profile by contacting us at hello@afriskaut.com. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

Residents of certain US states (for example California) may have additional rights, including the right to know what personal information we collect and to request its deletion, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise any right, contact us at hello@afriskaut.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
