Welcome to TikiTaka. Our platform is designed to help football players aged 8 to 16 improve their skills through sports challenges evaluated by trained and verified coaches. The privacy, digital safety, and wellbeing of minors are our highest priority and the guiding principle behind every decision we make as a platform.
By accessing TikiTaka, the parent or legal guardian of the minor (“Authorised Guardian”) accepts these Terms and Conditions on behalf of the minor. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you must refrain from registering the minor on the platform.
Important Legal Note
This document has been prepared in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and the Online Safety Act 2021 (Cth). This is the legally binding version for users in Australia.
1. DEFINITIONS
The following terms have the meanings set out below throughout these Terms and Conditions:
2. ACCEPTANCE AND PARENTAL CONSENT
2.1 Exclusive use by minors
TikiTaka is designed exclusively for use by persons aged between 8 and 16 years in the context of sports training. No person over the age of 16 may register as a Player.
2.2 Mandatory and verifiable parental authorisation
In accordance with the APPs and the OAIC's guidance on children's privacy, the express and verifiable consent of an Authorised Guardian is required to create a Player account. The verification process includes:
- Prior registration of the Authorised Guardian with a valid identity document (passport, driver's licence or equivalent accepted in Australia).
- Email confirmation with a two-factor activation link.
- Digital signature of the parental consent declaration, stored in accordance with APP 11.
- Where reasonable doubt exists regarding the identity or capacity of the applicant, TikiTaka may request additional documentation before activating the account.
Legal Obligation
Collecting personal information from minors without verifiable parental consent constitutes a breach of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and may result in civil penalties imposed by the OAIC.

By completing the verification process, the Authorised Guardian:
- Accepts these Terms and Conditions and TikiTaka's Privacy Policy on behalf of the Minor.

4. PRIVACY AND VIDEO HANDLING — GOLDEN RULE
Challenge Videos are the most sensitive asset on our platform. TikiTaka applies the principle of data minimisation and the highest possible standard of protection to all audiovisual content involving minors.
4.1 Single and exclusive purpose
Challenge Videos submitted by Players have the sole purpose of evaluating their physical and technical skills within the specific sports challenge for which they were submitted. No other use is permitted.
4.2 Ultra-restricted access
Access to Challenge Videos is strictly limited to:
- The Coach assigned to the challenge, solely to provide their rating and technical feedback.
- TikiTaka technical staff in cases of critical operational support, under an audited access protocol.
- Competent Australian authorities where a valid legal request has been issued in Australia.
4.3 Permanent and irreversible deletion
Once the Coach has provided their rating and the Player has viewed the feedback (or within 7 business days of the rating, whichever comes first), the Challenge Video will be permanently and irreversibly deleted from all of TikiTaka's servers, storage systems, backups, and caches. TikiTaka will issue a deletion record in accordance with APP 11 requirements.
4.4 Absolute prohibition on secondary use
TikiTaka guarantees that Challenge Videos will NOT, under any circumstances, be:
- Retained long-term or archived beyond the period defined in section 4.3.
- Shared, licensed, assigned, or sold to third parties.
- Used for advertising, commercial, research, or public relations purposes.

- Private conversations, contact details, or personal information of other people.
- Symbols, clothing, or expressions of violent, discriminatory, or offensive content.
5.3 Presence of third parties
The presence of third parties in videos is discouraged, especially other minors. If another person unavoidably appears in frame, the Authorised Guardian warrants that they hold the consent of that person (or their legal guardian if a minor) for the capture and transmission of their image.

The following conduct will result in the measures indicated:
Inappropriate / Off-topic
Immediate deletion of the video and formal warning.
