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.
No consent, no capture. RinkNotes will not record or keep a single note about a player until that player’s parent has said yes. A child’s real name never leaves the team without a parent’s consent.
This page describes a youth team, where a parent consents. Running an adult team, where players consent for themselves? See Adult teams.

​
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:

​
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.
