Personal information protection

Privacy Policy

MAT Hockey pays particular attention to young athletes’ information and limits its use to the actual needs of the services provided.

Private information stays private.

The public website and the MAT Portal are separate spaces. Sensitive information is available only to authorized accounts.

1. Person responsible for personal information

MAT Hockey is responsible for the personal information collected through its services and the MAT Portal. For questions, access or correction requests, or consent withdrawal, email info@mat-hockey.net.

2. Information collected

Depending on the services used, MAT Hockey may collect identity and contact information, academic and athletic pathway information, training, recovery, sleep and nutrition data, and physical, medical or mental well-being information. We limit collection to what is necessary for the mandate.

3. Purposes

This information is used to create and administer accounts, coordinate services, monitor athlete development, communicate with the family, grant access to authorized professionals and protect the portal. It is not sold or used for targeted advertising.

4. Access and disclosure

Access is granted according to the person’s role, the athlete and the authorized categories. Professionals receive only the information needed for their mandate. Private file information is never published on the public website without separate authorization.

5. Retention and security

Information is protected through access controls, authentication, logging and appropriate technical measures. It is retained only as long as necessary for the stated purposes and applicable obligations, then deleted or anonymized according to MAT Hockey’s retention schedule.

6. Rights

A person may request access to or correction of their information and, where permitted by law, its deletion. Consent may be withdrawn for future uses. Identity verification may be required before a request is processed.

7. Minors

The MAT Portal is intended in part for minor athletes. Parent or guardian consent is obtained when required. Athletes are also invited to review information written for their level of understanding and to express their assent.

8. Independent professionals

Specialists may be subject to their own professional obligations and may maintain a separate clinical record. The MAT Portal does not replace their professional record or consent-to-treatment forms.

9. Incidents and complaints

MAT Hockey handles privacy incidents in accordance with applicable obligations. Concerns or complaints may be sent to the person responsible for personal information at the email address above.
