SAFETY & PRIVACY
What precautions are taken to make sure my child plays soccer in a safe environment?
GotSport works closely with MSYSA to make sure medical information collected during registration can be accessed by club administrators. All team officials have successfully passed SafeSport background checks to meet State specifications. All State waivers are included in online registration. These waivers must be acknowledged and signed by all applicable parties.
How secure is the GotSport system and software?
GotSport is fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This standard governs and ensures that ALL companies that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
We also maintain operational procedures for compliance with Children’s Online Privacy Protection act (COPPA). We ensure this when collecting personal information online from a child under the age of 13.
We furthermore have integrated document encryption, User Permissions access control and all Club’s and Leagues also own their own personnel data within the Connect platform.
You may also view the GotSport Privacy Policy for more information.
How often are background checks conducted? How long do they take? What is the process?
Background checks are conducted every year. Team Officials must register online to agree to the authorization and disclosure agreement that allows MSYSA to submit the background check.
The process can take one day or up to several weeks depending on the background results reported. Team Officials can login to their member account to view their status.
MSYSA reserves the right to determine individual eligibility for Team Officials based solely on the background report findings and to request further information or explanation of any incidents as demeed appropriate.
