League Admin Data Responsibility Terms
Version 1.1 — in force since 13 July 2026
- Purpose
This section of the platform's Terms of Service governs how personal data — including
player names, pitch statistics, and weight-loss/weight-management scores — is collected,
displayed, and shared by leagues using the platform, and who is responsible for ensuring
that data is processed lawfully.
- Roles
The Platform (operator of You're the Star, yourethestar.co.uk) acts as a data processor. The Platform
provides the technical infrastructure to store and display data that League Admins choose
to enter, and does not decide what data is collected about players or how it is used
beyond the platform's core functionality.
The League Admin (the individual or organisation registering and administering a
league on the platform) acts as the data controller for all personal data relating to
that league's players, including any weight-loss or weight-management scores. The League
Admin decides what is collected, why, and how it is shared (including on social media).
- League Admin obligations
By registering a league and adding players, the League Admin confirms and agrees that they will:
Obtain explicit, informed, opt-in consent from each player before that player's name,
pitch statistics, or weight-related score is entered onto the platform. Consent must:
Be a clear affirmative action (not a bundled or default-checked box)
Specifically describe what will be shown (e.g. "your name and weekly weight-loss score
will be visible to other league members on the You're the Star leaderboard")
Be requested separately for any use in public social media posts, since this is a
materially different and broader use than an in-app leaderboard
Be capable of being withdrawn at any time
Retain their own evidence of that consent (e.g. a signed form, a ticked box on their own
sign-up system, a recorded verbal confirmation with a timestamp and witness) for as long
as the player's data remains on the platform, and for a reasonable period afterward.
Action a player's withdrawal of consent promptly — including removing them from public
displays on the platform and refraining from further social media use of their data.
Only enter the minimum data necessary — the Platform does not accept, and the League Admin
agrees not to attempt to enter, raw weight figures, medical information, or other special
category data beyond the derived score fields the platform provides for.
Provide the Platform with evidence of consent within a reasonable timeframe (e.g. 5
business days) if requested — for example, in response to a complaint from a player or a
regulatory enquiry.
- Attestation mechanism (technical + contractual)
Each time a League Admin adds a new player, or edits a player's consent-relevant settings
(display visibility, social media flag), the platform requires an explicit, timestamped
attestation before the change takes effect:
> "I confirm that [Player Name] has given explicit, informed consent for their name and
> scores to be displayed on this platform [and used in social media posts, if toggled],
> and that I hold evidence of this consent. I understand that [League Name] is the data
> controller responsible for this consent, not the Platform."
This attestation is logged against the admin's account with a timestamp and cannot be
retroactively edited — only superseded by a new attestation. This creates the practical
audit trail that supports Section 3 and Section 6 below.
- Indemnity
The League Admin agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Platform operator against any
claims, complaints, regulatory action, fines, or losses arising from the League Admin's
failure to obtain or maintain valid consent as described in Section 3, or from the League
Admin entering data beyond what Section 3(4) permits.
- Suspension and audit rights
The Platform reserves the right to:
Request evidence of consent for any player at any time, particularly following a complaint
Suspend display of a player's data, or a League's account entirely, pending resolution if
there is reasonable cause to believe consent was not properly obtained
Terminate a League Admin's account for repeated or serious non-compliance with Section 3
- Data subject requests
Where a player (or former player) submits a subject access, rectification, or erasure
request, the Platform will direct them to the relevant League Admin as the data controller
in the first instance, and will provide reasonable technical assistance to the League Admin
in fulfilling the request within 7 calendar days of being notified.
This 7-day internal window is deliberately shorter than the one-month statutory
deadline the League Admin (as controller) has under UK GDPR Art. 12(3), so the
League Admin has time to review the Platform's output and respond to the data
subject within their own deadline.
- What the Platform itself commits to
Independent of the above allocation, the Platform commits to baseline processor obligations:
Never storing raw weight figures — only the derived score
Appropriate technical security measures for all personal data, with enhanced measures
given the special category nature of weight-related scores
A written Data Processing Agreement (see the separate DPA document), which
the League Admin enters into on accepting these terms
Not using league or player data for any purpose beyond operating the platform, without
separate agreement
