Our registration process is intended to be completed by a parent or legal guardian.
Children under 13 should not independently submit personal information through our website without appropriate parental involvement and authorization.
Where legally required, Unity will obtain appropriate parental consent before collecting or using children's personal information.
Parents or guardians may contact Unity to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information concerning their child, subject to applicable law and necessary recordkeeping obligations.
4. MEDICAL AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Information voluntarily provided regarding medical conditions, allergies, emergency contacts, or accommodations will be used for appropriate program administration and participant safety.
Access should be limited to authorized individuals who reasonably need the information for those purposes.
Information may be disclosed to emergency responders, healthcare providers, or other parties when reasonably necessary for an emergency or as required by law.
5. PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS
Unity Athletic Development may document programs, practices, competitions, and other activities through photographs and videos.
Use of an identifiable minor athlete's image for marketing or promotional purposes will be governed by separate parent or guardian consent.
Families may contact Unity with questions about photography or requests concerning the use of their child's image.
6. INFORMATION SHARING
We may share information with service providers that help operate our website, registration, payment processing, or communications, where reasonably necessary for those services.
We may also share relevant information with event organizers, safety personnel, emergency responders, or government authorities when appropriate and legally permitted or required.
We do not sell personal registration information to third-party marketers.
7. WEBSITE COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
Our website may use cookies, analytics, and other technologies provided by our website platform or connected services.

Where applicable, visitors may manage cookie preferences through available website controls or browser settings.
8. DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION
Unity Athletic Development will take reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the information it collects.
Personal information will be retained only as long as reasonably necessary for program administration, legitimate organizational purposes, or applicable legal obligations, and then securely deleted or otherwise disposed of when appropriate.
No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

Requests will be reviewed and handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

IMPORTANT BEFORE PUBLISHING
This is a working policy, not legal certification. Verify Unity's real practices, especially whether parent’s complete registration within Squarespace or on an outside platform, how payments and minors' information are handled, and the actual permissions/consents used. A privacy statement alone does not replace insurance, a parent waiver, or required safety procedures.
