Create competition without publicizing it due to privacy

According to the new privacy legislation, names may no longer be published without explicit permission.

Is it possible to create a competition in Athletics.app without it being published?

Is it possible to anonymize the names for the web but still print them on start and results lists and diplomas?

The competition in question is a school tournament, so it is not public and does not fall under the competitions of the Dutch Athletics Federation. We cannot allow the children to participate unless they meet our conditions because it is a compulsory school activity.

We do not yet offer this option. We do plan to add more privacy options in the future. However, it will not be feasible to realize this for a competition that will take place in 2018. You could choose to only import children's first names and not surnames and date of birth, so that children are more anonymous. You still have to be careful with unique names, as there are more and more unique names that hardly ever occur, so that only a child's first name can identify them. Athletics.app does not yet offer another solution.

Dear,

Has a solution been found to give events the status of 'private'?
