RinkNotes is consent-first. For each player, you send their parent a request; the parent
approves it; only then can you capture notes about that child.
Send a request
For each player, enter a parent’s email and send the request. The parent gets an
email with a one-click link. When they open it, they sign in, review exactly what will
be shared, and grant consent.
You’ll see a status next to each player:
| Status | What it means |
|---|
| Consent ✓ | Parent approved. You can capture notes about this player. |
| Consent pending | Request sent, or no request sent yet — waiting for the parent to respond. Capture is blocked. |
| Awaiting email confirmation | You used “This is my child” — waiting for the confirmation email link to be clicked. |
| Consent withdrawn | The parent withdrew consent. Capture is blocked. |
| Consent expired | Consent lapsed and needs to be renewed. Capture is blocked. |
Are you the parent?
If a player on your roster is your own child, use “This is my child” instead of
emailing yourself. RinkNotes sends a confirmation link to your registered email address
as proof of consent — click it and you’re set.
What the parent sees
The parent is asked to agree to share three things with themselves:
- Feedback — development summaries
- Game stats
- What to work on
They can change or withdraw this at any time. See the
parent side of this flow for the full experience.
Until a parent grants consent, RinkNotes blocks every note about that player. If you
try to capture one, it’s held as consent blocked and never attributed to the child.
