Parent privacy and consent

A parent or guardian must personally complete the youth consent flow. Use the minimum child information requested and keep family credentials private.

Protect the child account

  1. Enter accurate age information so 6Tool can route signup correctly.
  2. Review the parental notice, terms, and consent information before agreeing.
  3. Use the child's first name only where the interface requests first name.
  4. Create a username that does not reveal the child's full name, school, birth date, address, or team.
  5. Store parent and child sign-in details separately and privately.
  6. Review reports and notifications only in the authorized family account.
  7. Share child results only with authorized coaches, organizations, or support channels and only when needed.

Expected result: the child uses a managed account linked to the consenting adult without unnecessary personal information.

Do not bypass an age gate, impersonate a parent, or post child screenshots publicly. For a consent, custody, wrong-family, or data-access concern, stop using the affected profile and contact official support. Never send passwords, one-time codes, full birth dates, or identity documents unless an approved support process specifically requires and protects them.
