# Send consent requests

> Ask each player's parent for consent — nothing is captured until they say yes.

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.

<Snippet file="consent-promise.mdx" />

## 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| **Consent withdrawn**           | The parent withdrew consent.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](/parents/what-youre-consenting-to) for the full experience.

<Warning>
  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.
