In general, we may ask you to provide us with the following types of information about you and/or your student:

  • Contact information such as name, email address, mailing address, phone numbers (note to parents/guardians of children: if we have actual knowledge that a user is under 13 years old, the child will be asked to have their parent or guardian continue the registration process);
  • Month, day, and year of birth;
  • Gender preference;
  • Course interests;
  • Billing information such as credit card number and billing address;
  • User names to third-party systems (for example, Facebook);

  • Information included in résumés and job applications; and
  • Health details, participation limitations or needs, immunization, and allergy information.

Note to parents/guardians: We only collect the information described above, from someone we know to be a child, after the child’s parent or guardian provides us with verifiable consent, unless one of the limited exceptions discussed below applies. For more information and/or to review these limited exceptions, please see the “Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy” section below.

LEAGUE Sites & Services do not recognize “Do Not Track” headers or similar mechanisms.

Our Sites & Services may use third-party plug-ins to provide additional services and benefits. These third parties may collect information about you as well. When we use a third-party plug-in we will identify the plug-in and provide a link to the third party’s privacy policy under which the information they collect is identified and controlled.

We may also collect geolocation information from your device so we can customize your experience on our LEAGUE Sites & Services. In most cases, you are able to turn off such data collection at any time by accessing the privacy settings of your device and/or through the settings in the applicable GPS application.

This may include your name, email address(es), photo, gender, birthday, location, an ID associated with the applicable third-party platform or social media account, user files like photos and videos, your list of friends or connections, people you follow and/or who follow you, or your posts or “likes.” For a description of how social media services and other third-party platforms, plug-ins, integrations, or applications handle your information, please refer to their respective privacy policies and terms of use, which may permit you to modify your privacy settings.

When we interact with you through our content on third-party websites, applications, integrations, or platforms, we may obtain information regarding your interaction with that content, such as content you have viewed, and information about advertisements within the content you have been shown or may have clicked on.

Information from third-party services

We may also obtain other information, including personal information, from third parties and combine that with information we collect through our Websites. For example, we may have access to certain information from a third-party social media or authentication service if you log in to our services through such a service or otherwise provide us with access to information from that service. Any access that we may have is in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by that service. If you authorize us to connect with a third-party service, we will access and store the information that service makes available to us and use it in accordance with this policy. You should check your privacy settings on these third-party services to understand and change the information sent to us through these services.

1. Law enforcement and safety

We may access, preserve, and/or disclose the information we collect and/or content you and/or your student provides to us (including information posted on our forums) to a law enforcement agency or other third parties if required to do so by law or if we believe such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary.

Some providers, such as payment processors, may request additional information. Review their privacy policies before providing more information.

3. Business transfer

During the normal course of our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or our assets, information we have collected about you may be transferred to such entity.

We will use reasonable efforts to require that any transferee use personal information in a manner consistent with this privacy statement.

VI. Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of children is paramount. We understand that users and visitors of our LEAGUE Sites & Services who are under 13 years of age need special safeguards. Our LEAGUE Sites & Services are intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 13 years of age to provide us with personal information without obtaining a parent’s or guardian’s verifiable consent, except where:

  • The sole purpose of collecting the name or online contact information of a parent or child is to provide notice and obtain parental consent;
  • The purpose of collecting a parent’s online contact information is to provide voluntary notice to, and subsequently update the parent about, the child’s participation in LEAGUE Sites & Services that do not otherwise collect, use, or disclose children’s personal information;
  • The sole purpose of collecting online contact information from a child is to respond directly on a one-time basis to a specific request from the child and the information is not used to re-contact the child, disclosed, or stored after responding;
  • The purpose of collecting a child’s and a parent’s online contact information is to respond directly more than once to the child’s specific request without using it for any other purpose or disclosing it;
  • The purpose of collecting a child’s and a parent’s name and online contact information is to protect the safety of a child and the information is not used or disclosed for any unrelated purpose;
  • We collect a persistent identifier and no other personal information solely to support internal operations; or
  • Otherwise permitted or required by law.

If we receive the verifiable consent of a child’s parent or guardian to collect, use, and disclose the child’s information, we will only do so as described in this privacy statement. Some features, such as forums and chat rooms, allow child users to enter comments that may include personal information visible to other users. Parents should advise their children of the risks of posting personal information online.

VII. Parental/Guardian Rights

If you are a parent or guardian, you can review or have deleted your child’s personal information and refuse further collection or use of that information. To exercise these rights, email us at info@jointheleague.org or send your request to The LEAGUE of Amazing Programmers, 12625 High Bluff Drive #107, San Diego, CA 92130.

IX. Forums And Chats

We may offer forums and chat rooms. Anyone may read postings in these spaces. Information posted could include personal details visible to other users and is therefore no longer private.
