3. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. San Juan FC operates in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Collection: We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. All player registration data must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian.

• Review the personal information we have collected about their child.
• Request that this information be deleted.
• Refuse to allow further collection or use of the child’s information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@sanjuanfc.org.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

• Process registrations and payments.
• Communicate schedules, cancellations, and club news.
• Comply with league requirements (e.g., submitting rosters to state associations).
• Ensure player safety (e.g., medical emergency contacts).

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to outside parties for marketing purposes. We may share information with:

• Service Providers: Third parties who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business (e.g., payment processors, league management software), so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

6. Media Release

We occasionally post photos or videos of games and events on our website or social media to promote the club. We will not list a child's full name with a photo without specific parental consent. If you wish for a photo of your child to be removed, please contact us.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
