Maccabi Israel has launched a strategic partnership with the company LockOnCam to implement an encrypted documentation system aimed at preventing harassment within sports clubs. This initiative, part of Maccabi Israel's broader safety project, follows a successful pilot program and seeks to create a safer environment for athletes, families, and staff.
The "DuaLoc" system addresses the challenge of deterring inappropriate behavior and harassment during private interactions, such as one-on-one training sessions or physiotherapy appointments, without compromising privacy. The technology operates on a "dual lock" principle: meetings are recorded only after both parties consent, and the encrypted data is stored securely. Access to the recordings is restricted and requires the agreement of both participants, managed by the club's designated safety officer.
LockOnCam CEO Dr. Eli Antopolsky stated that the system provides a practical solution for ensuring children's safety and privacy in sports settings, allowing athletes and professionals to feel secure and trusted. He emphasized the goal of creating an environment where safety and privacy coexist.
Naor Galili, CEO of Maccabi Israel, described the partnership as setting a new standard for safety and transparency in Israeli sports. He highlighted the responsibility sports clubs have towards their athletes and families, and expressed confidence in LockOnCam's technology as a means to foster organizational culture, responsibility, and innovation. The system is now available to all Maccabi Israel clubs, encouraging their participation.
