Alumni Participation Notice

AFTR is a private networking service that connects current and former college athletes, starting with the College of Charleston. It is run by its founder, Hogan Walker, a current College of Charleston student-athlete, acting independently.

AFTR is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the NCAA, the College of Charleston, or College of Charleston Athletics. We use the college's name only to describe who AFTR is for.

Adults (18 or older) who competed as College of Charleston student-athletes, whether personally invited or joining through our public link. AFTR is not a recruiting service and is not connected to any NIL collective.

Before you join. To save you time, we prepare a short profile by hand from public sources, such as official College of Charleston athletics rosters and media guides, public professional profiles, and company websites: your name, CofC sport and years, current title, employer, industry, city and state, a public profile link, and the contact address or account we use to invite you. We don't buy data or use automated tools to collect it. This profile is visible only to AFTR's administrator.

If you join through our public link. The details you enter yourself (the same kinds of information as above) and the email you sign in with. We use public sources only to verify them.

When you join. The details you confirm or edit, what you're open to offering, how many requests you want each month, the email address you sign in with, and the date and version of this notice you agreed to.

Automatically. When your invite link is opened, and basic sign-in and security records kept by our service providers. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

To invite you; to verify your CofC roster history and career details (we note which public source we checked); to show your approved profile to verified members; to respect the request limit you set; and to contact you about your profile and the pilot. We don't add you to marketing lists.

Your profile is visible only when three things are true: you've joined, we've verified your CofC roster history and career details from public sources, and your profile is approved. If you were invited, we usually verify you first, so your profile goes live as soon as you join. If you joined through our public link, your profile stays hidden until we've verified it.

Live profiles appear on the founding roster, which only signed-in, verified current and former College of Charleston athletes can see in full. People who have joined and are still waiting to be verified see only the names and CofC sports of live members, never their career details, and are not shown on the roster themselves. Profiles are never public on the internet. If you change your job title or company after we verify it, we may re-check it; you stay live meanwhile.

Your email address, contact details, and our verification notes are never shown to other members.

Only the service providers that run AFTR for us, under their own security and privacy terms: Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (website hosting), and our email delivery provider (sign-in codes). Your information is stored in the United States.

We don't sell your information, share it for advertising, or give it to the College of Charleston or anyone else, unless the law requires it.

AFTR is for career conversations: advice, introductions, and sharing your path. Members may not use it to recruit high school or prospective students, or to offer athletes gifts, money, or NIL deals. Any job or internship mentioned should be a normal role, paid at the usual rate for the work, and never tied to someone's athletic ability or status. We may hide profiles that break these standards.

Not interested? Tap “Not for me” on your invite page, or just tell us. We immediately erase the profile details we prepared and keep only your name, sport, and the contact address we used, marked “do not contact,” so we never reach out again.

No response? If you don't respond within 90 days of your invitation, we delete the profile we prepared.

Leave anytime. Hide your profile from your roster page. It disappears from the network immediately. If you don't come back within 12 months, we delete it.

Change or delete. Ask us to correct your details, or to delete your information entirely, and we'll do it within 30 days. A full deletion removes your profile, our notes, and your sign-in account. If you'd also like us never to contact you again, tell us and we'll keep only your name and contact address on our do-not-contact list.

Access to member information is restricted and enforced by the database itself. Invite links work once and expire after 30 days, and connections are encrypted. No system is perfectly secure; if a security incident affects your information, we'll tell you as required by law.

If we make a meaningful change, we'll tell you before it takes effect and, where needed, ask for your agreement again. The version at the top changes with every update.
