Minors & consent

Updated 2026-11-12

Some work on this site is sports coverage, which includes young players. This page says how those photos are handled.

Where photos of minors appear

Photos that show minors appear only on the sports pages and on sports projects. They never appear on the home page, the verification page or the Proof page.

Names

Minors are never named on this site. Captions, titles and alt text describe what is happening, not who is in the photo.

Consent before publishing

A photo of a minor is published only when one of these is on file:

• a guardian’s consent, or
• a release from the organization (for example a club or league) that covers its players.

Photos without one of these are not published.

Taking a photo down

A parent, guardian or organization can ask for any photo to be removed at any time, for any reason. Email AJ through the contact page with the page address.
