Last updated: April 2026. This policy describes our current practices while we finalise full legal review. If anything here conflicts with a signed registration or partnership agreement, the agreement takes precedence.

Who we are

React Now FC Academy is a grassroots football and youth-development initiative based in Nairobi, Kenya. For privacy questions, contact info@reactnowfc.org.

Information we may collect

• Participant & family data: names, ages or date of birth, school level, emergency contacts, medical notes you choose to share, and attendance records.
• Programme data: training participation, mentorship notes, and safeguarding-related reports where required.
• Website & communications: email address, message content, and basic technical data (e.g. browser type) if you contact us or subscribe to updates.
• Media: photos or video from matches and events, only where we have appropriate consent or a legitimate programme interest.

How we use information

We use data to run safe sessions, coordinate volunteers, communicate with families, measure impact, comply with law, and improve our programmes. We do not sell personal data.

Legal bases (summary)

Depending on the situation, we rely on consent, contractual necessity, legitimate interests (e.g. safeguarding and programme operations), or legal obligation. We minimise data and keep it only as long as needed for those purposes.

Sharing

We may share limited information with coaches, mentors, and authorised volunteers; professional advisers; or authorities when required for safety or law. Any service providers we use must protect data appropriately.

Security & retention

We apply reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect information. Retention periods depend on the type of data and legal requirements; we delete or anonymise data when it is no longer needed.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal data, or object to certain processing. Contact us at the email above; we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children

Our programmes serve young people. Where consent is required, we seek it from parents or guardians. We design our communications and data practices to protect minors.

International transfers

If data is processed outside Kenya, we will ensure appropriate safeguards where required by law.

Changes

We may update this policy as our programmes or the law evolve. The "Last updated" date will change when we publish a new version.
