Privacy
This site keeps nothing on its own. The only personal information it collects is what you type into a form, and here's what happens to it.
The forms
| Form | What it collects | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Register interest (player) | Your name, email and mobile, your child's first name and birth year, whether they're a boy or a girl (and for a girl, whether she'd like a girls-only team), whether they've played for a team before, whether you could help, how you heard about us, and an optional note | To offer your child a taster session and a place, and to talk to you about helping if you'd like to |
| Girls' team | Your name, email and mobile, whether she'd like to play or you'd like to help (or both), your daughter's first name and birth year if she'd like to play, and an optional note | To let you know when the girls' team is ready to start |
| Under 5s | Your name, email and mobile, your child's first name, birth month and year, and whether you could help when the group starts | To get in touch before your child's year starts |
| Volunteer interest | Your name, email, mobile, whether your child plays with us, how you'd like to help, which team, whether you've helped with a team before, and an optional note | To talk to you about helping or coaching |
| Sponsor interest | Your name, business, email and mobile, which team you'd like to support, and an optional note | To talk to you about sponsorship |
| Contact | Your name, email and mobile, which team it's about, your message, and whether it's about a child's safety | To answer you, and to get any safety concern to the right person quickly |
| Site feedback | What you loved, what could be better, the page, and, if you choose to give them, your role, name and email | To improve the site, and to reply if you asked us to |
Where it goes and how long we keep it
Each form sends your entry by email to the volunteers who run the academy, through Netlify, the service that hosts this site, which also keeps a copy. They read it and reply.
- Player, girls' team, volunteer and sponsor entries are kept until we've spoken to you and you've either joined, started helping, or told us you're no longer interested, and for no more than a season after that.
- The under 5s list is cleared once your child joins or their starting year has passed.
- Contact messages and site feedback are kept for as long as it takes to deal with them. Anything about a child's safety is handled under the club's safeguarding procedures and the Irish FA's.
To ask for your details to be deleted, or to see what we hold, use the contact form and say so. We'll do it and confirm.
On this site
- No tracking, no analytics, no advertising, and no cookies beyond what a form needs to send.
- Anything a coach or parent types into a tool on this site (a name on a certificate, a match plan and season tally, a home plan, a best score) stays on their own device and is never sent anywhere. Each tool has a button to clear it.
- Videos are YouTube's privacy-enhanced embeds, which load only when you press play.
- Photos and videos of players are used with their families' permission, and no child is named in a caption or a file name.
