Aged-out claim

CombatScore tracks date of birth. The day a managed kid turns 18, the platform offers them a one-time "claim your account" flow — they create their own login and become a normal adult athlete with full control of their data.

What changes when they claim

• They get their own login. Email + password, separate from the parent's account.
• Profile visibility unlocks. No more "managed kid private-by-default." They can make their profile public if they want.
• Social features unlock. Partner matching, DMs, public posts.
• You (the parent) lose write access. You can't log sessions for them, edit their profile, sign waivers, or see things they've made private.
• They keep the full training history. Every session, promotion, ceremony, and ratings entry stays. The verified training record stays signed and intact.

The claim flow

1. The kid turns 18.
2. CombatScore shows a one-time invitation banner on the parent's Family dashboard: "[Kid] is eligible to claim their account."
3. Parent shares the claim link with the kid (or hands them the device).
4. Kid creates their login (email + password, or Google sign-in).
5. The managed-kid profile transitions into an adult account owned by them.
6. Parent's relationship downgrades from "manages this account" to "linked family member" (with no write authority).

What if the kid doesn't claim?

Nothing bad happens immediately. The account stays as a managed-kid record. But:

• After 3 months, CombatScore sends both the parent and the kid (via the parent's email) a reminder.
• After 6 months, the platform shows a more prominent banner.
• After 12 months, we email asking what to do. Options: continue as managed (we'll grandfather it), transition with a temporary parent-shared login, or delete the account.

The account never auto-claims and the parent never auto-loses access. The kid has to actively claim.

What if the kid never wants the account?

Two paths:

1. Delete it. See Deleting a child's data.
2. Keep it managed. With the kid's verbal consent, the parent can request "extended management" past age 18. Limited cases (kid with special needs, etc.); requires a support ticket.

What if there's a dispute?

Sometimes the kid wants to claim and the parent objects, or vice versa. CombatScore's posture:

• At 18, the kid has the legal right to claim their own data. We honor that. The parent's wishes are noted but not binding.
• Before 18, the parent's authority is absolute. A 17-year-old cannot claim early.

If a real dispute arises, email privacy@combatscore.app with both parties' details and we'll mediate.

What happens to family discounts

If the kid was part of a household tier (Discount codes and household tiers), the claim:

• Keeps the family link in place (kid is still your kid).
• Maintains the household tier as long as the family link exists.
• Lets the kid maintain or leave the link at their discretion (they can break the family link from their settings).

If they break the family link, the household tier recalculates for everyone else.
