Before recording

Recording Consent and Privacy

Guidance for Pitchside users on recording consent, player privacy and responsible grassroots football footage handling.

Last updated: July 22, 2026

Core principle

Teams should only record matches where recording is permitted and players understand how footage may be used. This page is practical guidance and does not replace legal advice.

Before recording

  • Tell players, organisers and venue staff that the match may be recorded.
  • Check venue, league, school, club or tournament rules before filming.
  • Do not record children or vulnerable participants without the correct permission from responsible adults and organisers.
  • Avoid filming bystanders where possible.

Sharing clips

Clips should be shared responsibly after processing. Do not publish footage that humiliates, harasses or identifies someone who reasonably objected to being recorded.
