Improve GameChanger App’s Privacy Settings


Improve GameChanger App’s Privacy Settings
The Issue
Concerns for the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable youth have been rising, especially when it involves the use of technology and apps like GameChanger, a popular platform for youth sports.
Currently, the app allows anyone to follow teams and access schedules without any meaningful restrictions. This creates a situation where young players might be unknowingly exposed to unwanted attention or even threats, as individuals with ill intentions could easily track them. As a caring protector of young athletes, this lack of privacy settings is extremely worrying.
To foster a safe and secure environment for young players and their families, GameChanger should update its privacy settings. The app should enable guardians to have full control over who gets to follow their child’s team. By requiring team follow requests to be approved by a guardian, the app can ensure that only trusted individuals can access the team's activities and schedules. This not only protects the privacy of young players but also offers peace of mind to their families knowing their children are safe.
It's vital to act now in ensuring these strong privacy settings are integrated into the app. This change can potentially shield vulnerable youth from unnecessary exposure and risks. GameChanger holds a responsibility as a leading app in youth sports to lead the charge in safeguarding its users.
Please sign this petition to urge GameChanger to implement these essential privacy changes. Together, we can protect the future of our young athletes.
