3. Children's Privacy

Northwest Soccer Academy is a youth sports organization and takes the privacy of children seriously.

Our website is primarily intended to provide information and services to parents, guardians, players, coaches, and members of the soccer community.

Parents or legal guardians should complete registrations, waivers, medical information, payment information, and other forms requiring personal information for minor players.

NSA does not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian consent.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

Parents or guardians may contact NSA regarding personal information associated with their child and may request access, correction, or deletion when appropriate and permitted by law.

 

4. Player Photographs and Video

NSA may photograph or record practices, games, tournaments, ceremonies, and other club activities.

Photographs or videos may be used on NSA's website, social-media accounts, promotional materials, team communications, or other club-related publications when permitted by applicable player/parent releases and club policies.

NSA will not intentionally publish sensitive personal information about a minor, such as a home address, personal telephone number, medical information, or other private information.

Any specific photo/video authorization or release signed during registration will govern NSA's use of a player's image.

 

5. Payments

When payments are made through our website or a third-party registration or payment provider, payment information may be processed by that provider.

NSA does not intentionally store complete credit or debit card information on its own systems when payment processing is handled by a third-party provider.

Third-party payment and registration providers may maintain their own privacy policies and data-handling practices.

 

6. Third-Party Services

Our website is hosted using the Wix platform. Wix provides the technology used to operate and host our website and may process certain visitor information as part of providing those services.

NSA may also use third-party services for registration, payment processing, scheduling, league administration, email communications, analytics, or other club functions.

Information may be shared with these providers when reasonably necessary to provide their services or operate NSA programs.

We may also disclose information when required by law, necessary to protect the safety of an individual, or necessary to protect the legal rights of NSA or others.

We do not sell personal information collected from our players or families.

 

7. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for website functionality, security, performance, analytics, and user preferences.

Some third-party applications or services integrated into our website may also use cookies or similar technologies.

Visitors may be able to manage cookie preferences through their browser or through cookie/privacy controls provided on the website.

Wix itself uses certain essential cookies for functions such as security, fraud prevention, stability, and site operation, and additional Wix apps or third-party integrations can introduce other cookies.

 

8. How We Protect Information

NSA takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic communication, or internet-based storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

9. Information Sharing

NSA may share necessary information with:

• Authorized NSA coaches, administrators, and volunteers

• Leagues and soccer governing organizations

• Tournament organizers

• Insurance providers

• Registration and scheduling platforms

• Payment processors

• Website and technology providers

• Other service providers necessary to operate NSA programs

Information will generally be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.

We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the health or safety of a player or another individual.

​

10. Email and Club Communications

By registering with NSA or providing contact information, parents and guardians may receive communications related to their player's participation, including schedules, registration information, team announcements, club operations, tournaments, and other program-related information.

Marketing or promotional communications, when applicable, may include an option to unsubscribe.

Certain essential communications related to an active registration or player's participation may still be sent when necessary to administer the program.

 

11. Accessing, Correcting, or Deleting Information

Parents, guardians, and other website users may contact NSA to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we maintain about them or their child.

Certain information may need to be retained for legal, insurance, accounting, safety, league, or legitimate organizational recordkeeping purposes.

 

12. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to league websites, tournament websites, governing organizations, sponsors, social-media platforms, or other third-party websites.

NSA is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of websites operated by third parties. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those websites before providing personal information.

 

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Northwest Soccer Academy may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our programs, website, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
