Your Protection
SHIELD enforces your privacy at every step — controlling who sees your profile, filtering every inbound contact, and keeping your information protected under COPPA, FERPA, and NCAA rules.
SHIELD is the compliance engine that runs invisibly behind everything on PRYZE. It enforces age-appropriate data protection for athletes under 13, screens every coach contact for NCAA compliance, and gives you full control over who can see your profile and when. You never have to think about data privacy — SHIELD handles it.
Athletes under 13 are automatically protected under COPPA. No data is ever collected or shared without verified parent approval.
Every coach message that comes through PRYZE is screened for NCAA contact rules before it reaches you. Dead periods are enforced automatically.
Choose exactly who can see your profile — fully public, coaches only, or fully private. Change it anytime.
Academic information on PRYZE comes only from documents you or your parent upload. No school database, no third-party pull — ever.
SHIELD runs for every athlete on every tier. Protection is never a premium feature.
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) requires verified parental consent before any data is collected from children under 13. On PRYZE, Explorer and Foundation athletes under 13 have full parent-controlled accounts. No data is collected without your consent.
Coaches on PRYZE send inquiries through a filtered channel — not directly to your phone or email. SHIELD screens every message for NCAA compliance before it reaches the athlete.
Only from documents you upload. PRYZE never pulls academic records from schools, districts, or third-party databases. What you give us is all we use.
