Security & Governance

Built for sporting bodies that take privacy and governance seriously.

WhistleIQ is a SaaS platform supporting officiating appointments, feedback, development and analysis. This page sets out our privacy posture, data handling, AI use and governance principles — without overclaiming, and ready for procurement conversations.

What data we hold

Account details, officiating information, match data, feedback, ratings, comments, optional profile details and platform activity where relevant to delivering the service.

How we use it

Personal data is not sold and is not used for third-party marketing. We use data to deliver the platform’s core functions: appointments, feedback, development and reporting.

Where it lives

Data is stored securely in Australia using cloud services with appropriate safeguards, subject to the final technical architecture and privacy policy wording.

Who can see it

Access controls are role-based, with organisation and event permissions governing who can view feedback, reports and personal information.

How we approach AI.

WhistleEcho uses mathematical formulas, algorithms and selected AI-assisted summaries. The principles below guide every use.

Transparency

What WhistleEcho does — and doesn’t do — is clearly described to users.

Explainability

Recommendations are presented with the inputs that shaped them, not as black-box decisions.

Human oversight

People decide; the system suggests. Overrides and reason codes are first-class features.

Auditability

Manual overrides and decisions are captured for review.

Fairness

Workload and not-appointed reports support fair distribution across panels.

Development-first

Data is used to support officials and pathways, not to surveil individuals.

Where AI-assisted summaries are used, data is minimised or de-identified where practical, and AI use stays within the intended platform purpose.

Operational security

  • HTTPS across the platform
  • Hardened admin access with least-privilege
  • Anti-spam on public-facing forms
  • Daily automated backups with documented restore
