Privacy Policy – Next Goal USA
Last updated: June 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Next Goal USA collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit our website, create an account on our platform, or submit your student-athlete evaluation. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to handling your data responsibly.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email, athletic background, academic information, highlight videos, profile photos, messages exchanged on the platform, and any details you include in our contact, evaluation, or onboarding forms. We also gather technical data such as browser type, IP address, device information, and usage statistics through cookies and analytics tools.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to evaluate and verify your student-athlete, coach, or agency profile, connect you with relevant users on the platform, contact you regarding opportunities in the U.S. college system, improve our services, and personalize your experience on our website. We never sell your personal information.
Sharing Your Information
We may share relevant data with verified U.S. college coaches and agencies through the platform only if you authorize it by making your profile visible. We also work with trusted third-party providers (e.g., hosting services, analytics tools, payment processors such as Stripe) who may process data on our behalf under contract.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information and prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or loss.
Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16. Users aged 16 and 17 may use the platform only with verifiable parental or guardian consent. To further protect minors, athletes cannot send the first message to coaches — every recruiting conversation must be initiated by a verified coach.
International Data Transfers
As part of the recruiting process, we may transfer your information to universities and agencies based in the United States and other countries. We ensure appropriate protection measures for international transfers.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Next Goal USA may update this policy periodically to reflect legal changes or improvements. The updated version will always be available on this page.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, export, or restrict the processing of your personal data. You can request these actions by contacting us at contact@nextgoalusa.com.
