Alabama State University Athletics

Bamastatesports.com is the official website for the Alabama State University Athletics department, a Division I NCAA program. The site serves as a primary source of information for university sports, publishing news, schedules, and team rosters for its sixteen varsity teams. While not a traditional data broker, it publicly exposes personal information about its student-athletes, including their full names, physical details like height and weight, academic year, and hometown. This accessible information creates privacy risks, as it can be easily scraped and aggregated by data brokers, potentially exposing students to stalking, doxxing, or online harassment. Bad actors could misuse this data to create more complete profiles for identity theft or fraud. Individuals, particularly student-athletes, should be cautious about the personal information they share online and understand that their data on such sites may be publicly accessible; they can protect themselves by limiting their online footprint and requesting removal from data broker databases that may have collected this information.
