Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Online Camps complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
Our COPPA Process:
- Age Verification: During registration, we ask for the user's date of birth before collecting any other personal information.
- Immediate Halt: If a user enters a date of birth indicating they are under 13, we immediately stop the registration process.
- Parental Contact: We collect only the parent/guardian's email address for consent purposes.
- Consent Request: We send the parent detailed instructions to create a guardian account and provide verifiable consent.
- Child Account Activation: After consent is verified, the parent provides the child's email address to activate the account.
- Automatic Deletion: If consent is not received within 14 days, all related information is permanently deleted from our systems.
What Information We Collect from Children:
With verified parental consent, we collect and use the following information from children under 13:
- Name and email address
- Date of birth
- Athletic profile information (sport, position, stats)
- Performance videos and documents
- Academic information (GPA, test scores) if provided by parent/guardian
This information is used solely to provide our camp registration and evaluation services. Parents/guardians can review, modify, or delete their child's information at any time through the guardian dashboard.
Parental Rights:
Parents and guardians have the right to:
- Review the personal information collected from their child
- Direct us to delete their child's personal information
- Refuse to allow further collection or use of their child's information
- Control privacy settings for their child's profile
- Monitor all camp registrations and coach interactions
Important: We do not store children's data prior to receiving verified parental consent. The only information retained during the consent process is the parent/guardian's email address, which is used solely to facilitate the consent workflow.
