Privacy Policy

Overview of Policy

The American Youth Soccer Organization is very concerned about the privacy of our kids and members and this concern extends to our web site. Our goal is to always protect the personal identity of all users who interact with our website, children and adults. This policy outlines how we collect and use the data collected.

We strongly encourage parents or guardians to go online with their children and participate with them in their online activities. For guidelines on how to protect children's privacy online, please review the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) “How to Protect Kids' Privacy Online”.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA; effective date 21 April 2000) establishes mandated disclosures, parental notifications and options for all online activities where information is requested from a child under 13 years of age. Currently, the Act establishes that web site producers who collect personally identifiable data from children under 13 years of age are required to obtain verifiable parental consent in advance unless the data collected is an e-mail address for a one-time request, such as a contest entry, electronic postcard, etc.

This policy covers the following topics pertaining to AYSO's online interactivity with visitors:

Privacy Policy Statement

When data is collected from children under 18 years of age, AYSO 149 will require at minimum the e-mail address of the parent or guardian for that child. At minimum, an e-mail will be sent to the parent or guardian announcing to them that their child has supplied AYSO 149 with personally identifiable data, what that data is, and will point them to this section of the web site for further details.

Exception to this policy: A one-time use of the data for such events as contests, e-postcards, etc., however, the exception will cover only the requirement of parent or guardian e-mail addresses prior to inclusion in the event. (Example: A child enters a contest to win a soccer ball and is asked for a first name; age; and an e-mail contact address. If the child is chosen, as a winner, verifiable parent, or guardian consent will be required before, the physical address is obtained and the premium is sent to the child.)

Third Party Sharing

Up to 18 years of age

18 years of age and older
AYSO 149 may provide personally identifiable information to third parties collected from those 18 years of age and older. Any data sharing will be announced at the collection point on the web site with all details in the section Current Web Marketing Partners and Details.

Upon completion and return of this form, you may receive all personally identifiable information AYSO 149 has obtained concerning your child through online means from the web site, if such exists. This form will ask for information from you that will identify you as the parent or guardian of the child. You may request the Parental Consent Verification form by mail only.

Your options as a parent or guardian in reference to collection of your child's personally identifiable information are as follows:

• You may refuse consent or revoke any previous consent

AYSO 149, may, if it deems necessary, terminate any service provided to the child if the information at issue is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in the event. (Example: if you request deletion of the child's address, but that information is necessary for delivery of a prize or newsletter, etc., then AYSO 149 may refuse to allow the child to participate in that activity, however, other activities that do not require this information would remain available to the child)
