Children's privacy.

The Program Suite is offered to schools and athletic programs, not directly to children, and it is not a general-audience service. Children do not sign up on their own. We collect personal information about a child under the age of 13 only when a school or athletic program enrolls the child, or when a parent or legal guardian registers the child.

How we obtain consent

For children under 13, we rely on one of two bases permitted by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"):

1. School authorization. When a school or program uses the Service for an educational purpose, the school may authorize the collection of a student's personal information on behalf of the student's parents (acting in loco parentis), consistent with the guidance of the Federal Trade Commission. In that case, the school is responsible for providing any notice to and obtaining any consent from parents that applicable law requires, and our collection is limited to the educational purpose the school directs.
2. Verifiable parental consent. When a parent or legal guardian registers a child directly, we obtain the parent's or guardian's consent at registration.

What we collect from children and why

We collect only the information needed to run the athletic program — for example, name, team and roster details, date of birth, attendance, scheduling, training and participation records, and, where a guardian is linked, guardian contact information. We use this information solely to provide the Service to the school, program, and family.

What we do not do

We do not use children's personal information for targeted advertising, and we do not sell or rent it. We do not use children's information to train artificial intelligence or machine-learning models. We do not condition a child's participation on disclosing more information than is reasonably necessary. We do not use a child's name, image, likeness, or content in promotional, sponsorship, or publicly published marketing materials without separate, specific consent from the child's parent, legal guardian, or authorizing school.

Parent and guardian rights

A parent or legal guardian (or the authorizing school on their behalf) may review the personal information we have collected from their child, request that we delete it, and refuse to permit its further collection or use. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@theprogramsuite.com, or ask your child's school or program, which can act on your behalf. We will honor a request to stop collecting a child's information, understanding that doing so may mean the child can no longer use the Service.

Data minimization and retention

We retain a child's personal information only as long as needed for the educational purpose it was collected for, and we delete it on the schedule described in the Data Retention section of our Privacy Policy (and in our agreement with the school), unless the school, parent, or guardian asks us to delete it sooner.

If you believe we have collected information from a child without the required school authorization or parental consent, contact us at privacy@theprogramsuite.com and we will promptly delete it or obtain the required consent.
