Privacy Policy

Who we are

The Antigua and Barbuda Athletes Commission ("ABAC", "we", "us") represents and supports athletes across Antigua and Barbuda. This policy explains what information we collect through this website and our programs, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

• Information you give us. Your name, email address, phone number, sport or discipline, and the content of any message you send through our contact, athlete support, or event forms.
• Athlete profile information. Where you agree to be featured, biographical details, achievements, photographs, and social media handles.
• Support and welfare enquiries. Concerns or requests you raise with us, including sensitive matters such as mental health or welfare support.
• Technical information. Basic, non-identifying data your browser sends when visiting the site, used to keep the site secure and working properly.

How we use your information

• To respond to your messages, questions, and support requests.
• To assess and administer athlete support, funding, and resource requests.
• To publish news, event information, and athlete spotlights where you have agreed to be featured.
• To send updates about Commission news and events where you have asked to receive them.
• To improve our programs, resources, and this website.

Confidentiality of athlete support matters

Welfare, mental health, and integrity concerns raised through our athlete support channels are treated as confidential. They are seen only by the individuals responsible for handling them. We will not share the details without your consent, unless there is a serious and immediate risk to someone's safety or we are required to act by law or by a governing sport authority.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with service providers who help us operate the website, email, and storage services on our behalf, and with national or international sport bodies where this is necessary to progress a request you have made or to comply with the law.

Keeping information secure and how long we keep it

Information is held on secured, access-controlled systems and is kept only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required for our records and legal obligations. Published athlete profiles remain online until you ask us to remove or update them.

Your choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, withdraw consent to be featured, or unsubscribe from our updates at any time. Contact us and we will action your request.

Children and young athletes

Where an athlete is under 18, we ask for the consent of a parent or guardian before publishing their photograph, story, or personal details.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The revised version will always be available on this page.
