Gatorteams provides a secure website via user name and password. The transmission of user name and password will be completed through a SSL certificate (encrypted over the internet) ensuring that no one should be able to intercept the user name and password over the internet. The level of security is similar to websites that protect user information through some kind of login and password, for example: e-commerce websites, internet banking websites, and web-based email systems.

However, if user name and password is stolen via a means, e.g. a virus in a User's PC where it records the keystrokes, then it is outside our control. Individuals should keep their user name and password safe. This same problem may apply to an internet banking site if they are based on user name and password.

There is nothing to protect the privacy of the team members from the coach. The coach has full access of team members' private information (e.g. name, email and mobile phone numbers). When allowing a user to belong to multiple teams, this would mean sharing his/her information with multiple coaches.

No, only the coach and team members should be able to view this private area. Pictures of the team cannot be viewed by the general public.
