3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data only when we have a legal basis to do so under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The lawful bases we rely on include:

  • Consent: When you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., receiving marketing emails).
  • Contract: When processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
  • Legal Obligation: When processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
  • Legitimate Interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us or using opt-out mechanisms provided (such as unsubscribe links in marketing emails).


4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your information with:

  • Trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Website (such as payment processors, email marketing platforms, analytics, or hosting providers).
  • Event organizers or partners, but only as necessary for event management and scheduling.
  • Other users of the community forum, to the extent that your posts, username, and profile information are visible as part of your participation.
  • Authorities or as required by law, to comply with legal obligations or protect our rights.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Payment transactions are processed through secure, PCI-compliant third-party providers. However, no online system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.


6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our services, meeting legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, and as required by applicable laws. The length of time we retain information depends on the nature of the information and the purposes for which it was collected. When your information is no longer needed for these purposes, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Our Website is not intended for youth participants under 18 years of age without parental guidance. We do not knowingly collect personal information from youth participants without the involvement of a parent or guardian. Parental guidance is required for any use of the Website, access to event information or data, and registration for events by youth participants under 18 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your youth participant has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.


8. Community Forum Notice

Please be aware that any information you post in the community forum, including your username and profile information, may be visible to other users. Exercise caution when sharing personal information in public areas of the forum. We are not responsible for the accuracy, use, or misuse of any information you disclose through the community forum.


9. International Data Transfers

If you are located outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred, stored, and processed in a country that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where required by law, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with GDPR requirements.
