Parent & Guardian Consent

Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, a minor’s personal data may only be processed with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. Because Tovio records match, performance, and profile data connected to a player’s training, we ask for that confirmation before an under-18 player’s account is used.

Tovio’s Services are currently in a limited beta with a small, invited audience. We collect and process a minor’s data only as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, and only for participants in this beta.

Consent covers the data we process to run the platform for your child, including:

• Match scores, live scoring inputs, and results
• Match statistics and performance analytics, including video-based match analysis
• Player journal entries and coach notes connected to their training
• Tournament entries, draws, seeding, and scheduling information
• Account and profile details (name, date of birth, academy or club affiliation, profile photo)
• Your contact details as parent/guardian, and your relationship to the player, used for consent, notifications, and communication about their participation

Section 2 of the Privacy Policy sets out the full list of information we collect and why.

Scores, draws, results, and performance analytics generated during sanctioned tournaments or academy training programs may be visible to relevant parties — coaches, tournament organizers, other participants, and spectators — as is inherent to competitive play. Coaches and academies your child is affiliated with can see their performance data to the extent their role requires.

We do not sell personal information to third parties. Section 5 of the Privacy Policy sets out every category of sharing.

Tovio uses data generated on the platform — match statistics, scoring data, and usage patterns — to train, evaluate, and improve its analytics models and AI-based features. Where feasible this data is aggregated or de-identified.

You may object to your child’s data being used for model training, separately from your consent to use the platform, by writing to us. We will honor that request except where the data has already been aggregated or de-identified such that it can no longer be tied to your child. Section 4 of the Privacy Policy covers this in full.

During the beta, consent is confirmed directly with our team rather than through the app. You can do either of the following:

• Reply “Yes, I consent” to the confirmation message sent to you by the Tovio team or by your child’s academy, or
• Email team@tovio.co with your child’s name, confirming that you consent to their data being processed on Tovio.

We keep a dated record of every confirmation we receive. Academies and organizers taking part in the beta help facilitate this confirmation for the minor players they register, and are responsible for ensuring appropriate parental or guardian consent is in place before entering a minor’s data into the platform.

You can withdraw consent at any time, for any reason, by messaging us at team@tovio.co. We will stop processing your child’s data.

Junior player data is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the applicable training program or academy relationship, after which it is deleted or anonymized unless a longer period is required by law.

You may, at any time, ask us to:

• Give you access to the personal data we hold about your child
• Correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete
• Delete your child’s data and withdraw your consent
• Stop using your child’s data for model training (see Section 4)
• Provide a summary of how your child’s data is processed

You can also raise a grievance with our Grievance Officer. We do not knowingly allow minors to independently manage account settings, payments, or public-facing profile visibility without guardian oversight.
