Ankored protects your child's sensitive information with enterprise-grade security and never sells your data to third parties.
Why Your Child's Information is Safe with Ankored
As parents, you should be concerned about who has access to your child's sensitive information. At Ankored, we take the protection of your all data and especially the data of children with the utmost seriousness. We've built our platform specifically to provide a secure environment for youth sports compliance documentation, replacing riskier methods like email attachments, fax, or physical paperwork.
We Never Sell Your Data
We want to be absolutely clear: Ankored does not sell your data or your child's data to third parties under any circumstances. Your personal information is collected solely for the purpose of youth sports compliance and safety for the organization you have signed up with. As a company, our revenue comes solely from the fees paid by youth sports organizations and participants who choose Ankored to provide best-in-class solutions for keeping your children's data safe and secure. Our business model is straightforward—we provide a valuable service to organizations. We don’t sell data.
The Problems with Traditional Methods
When you share sensitive documents through email or as physical copies, you face several risks:
- Email is not secure: Regular email is often unencrypted and can be intercepted
- Physical documents can be lost or stolen: Paper forms can be misplaced, copied, or accessed by unauthorized individuals
- No control once shared: Once you send a document by email or hand over a copy, you have no way to track who has accessed it or made copies
- No expiration: Documents shared by traditional methods can persist indefinitely
How Ankored Protects Your Family's Information
Enterprise-Grade Security
- Advanced encryption: We use AES-256 encryption for all stored data and TLS 1.2 encryption for data transfers

Strict Access Controls
- All access to information is based on the principle of "least privilege" – users only see what they absolutely need
- We maintain detailed audit logs of who accesses information and when
- Access rights are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain appropriate

Privacy by Design
We've designed our platform with privacy in mind from the ground up:
- We only collect information that your specific participation with an organization requests and that's necessary for compliance purposes
- Information is segregated and compartmentalized
- We've implemented data protection measures that exceed industry standards
- We will never share personally identifiable information with third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law
Your Right to Data Removal
We respect your control over your family's information:
- You can request complete removal of your data from our system at any time
- Simply contact our support team, and we'll ensure all your information is properly deleted
- We maintain clear procedures for secure data disposal to ensure complete removal
Note the removal of your data is your right, however, participation in the organization or event may be withheld or denied as a result.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We understand that trusting a platform with your child's information requires confidence in our practices. That's why we:
- Maintain clear and comprehensive security policies
- Are working toward industry certifications that validate our security practices
- Have a formal breach notification policy (though we work hard to ensure we never have to use it)
