Child safety

Last updated: July 2026

Podium 32 welcomes families, schools and junior sportspeople. Protecting children is a priority.

Our commitments

• Junior athlete profiles and any feature involving under-18s require parent or guardian consent, which we record.
• We never publish a minor's home address, private contact details or exact date of birth — we use age groups instead.
• We do not allow unknown adults to privately message children.
• Guardians can request removal of a young person's profile at any time.
• Owner approval is required before any junior profile is published.
