Why Your Child's Information is Safe with Ankored
As parents, you should be concerned about who has access to your child's sensitive information. At Ankored, we take the protection of your all data and especially the data of children with the utmost seriousness. We've built our platform specifically to provide a secure environment for youth sports compliance documentation, replacing riskier methods like email attachments, fax, or physical paperwork.
We Never Sell Your Data
We want to be absolutely clear: Ankored does not sell your data or your child's data to third parties under any circumstances. Your personal information is collected solely for the purpose of youth sports compliance and safety for the organization you have signed up with. As a company, our revenue comes solely from the fees paid by youth sports organizations and participants who choose Ankored to provide best-in-class solutions for keeping your children's data safe and secure. Our business model is straightforward—we provide a valuable service to organizations. We don’t sell data.
The Problems with Traditional Methods
When you share sensitive documents through email or as physical copies, you face several risks:
Email is not secure: Regular email is often unencrypted and can be intercepted
Physical documents can be lost or stolen: Paper forms can be misplaced, copied, or accessed by unauthorized individuals
No control once shared: Once you send a document by email or hand over a copy, you have no way to track who has accessed it or made copies
No expiration: Documents shared by traditional methods can persist indefinitely
