Privacy Policy
Walking Footy United respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your choices. If you have questions, contact us at admin@walkingfooty.com.
Age and children's accounts
Age policy updated 19 September 2026. Walking Footy and FootyFixturs share one Walking Footy account and database. The minimum account age is 13; we do not offer accounts for under-13s or a parental-consent exception.
We ask for a real date of birth to check the minimum age and age-limited features. It is stored on your central account, not in a separate FootyFixturs player database. Date of birth also supports competition eligibility and birthday Footy Points. Exact dates are not included in the apps' member directory.
A date-of-birth declaration is not independent proof of age. We may restrict an account and review concerns if the information appears incorrect. Existing accounts missing a date of birth must supply it before continuing to use account features.
A rejected new under-13 registration does not create an account or send a verification email. For an existing account identified as underage, access is restricted while our team reviews correction or deletion. A parent, guardian or member can contact admin@walkingfooty.com about an underage account, a correction or removal. Please provide a profile link or username and a brief explanation, not identity documents or unnecessary personal information.
If you are 13 to 17, avoid posting your address, school, phone number or other private information. Use Report and Block for unwanted contact, and speak to a trusted adult if anything worries you. Guest Players is restricted to adults aged 18 and over.
