The Boys & Girls Club of Metro North (“The Club”, “we”, “us”) values your trust and is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, register for programs, or make a donation.

---

1. Information We Collect

We collect information only when you voluntarily provide it to us. This typically occurs when you:

• Register a child for After School, Summer Camp, or Teen Center programs.
• Make a charitable donation.
• Sign up for our email newsletter.
• Fill out a volunteer or employment application form.
• Contact us via email or our “Contact Us” forms.

2. Third-Party Service Providers

We do not store sensitive financial data (such as credit card numbers) directly on our website servers. Instead, we partner with trusted third-party platforms to handle secure transactions and data processing:

• RecDesk: Used for all program registrations, membership data, and program payments. View RecDesk Privacy Policy.
• Classy / GoFundMe: Used to securely process charitable donations.
• Constant Contact: Used to manage our email lists and send newsletters.
• Google Forms: Used for surveys, volunteer applications, and general inquiries.
• Google Analytics: Used to track anonymous website traffic (e.g., how many people visited our Home Page) to help us improve user experience.

3. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Our website is intended for use by parents and guardians.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 on this website. All program registrations (which include data about minors) must be completed by a parent or legal guardian through our secure Parent Portal (RecDesk).

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Process registrations and payments for Club programs.
• Send you important updates regarding your child’s program (e.g., snow closures, schedule changes).
• Process and acknowledge donations.
• Send newsletters and updates about Club news (you may opt-out at any time).

5. We Do Not Sell Your Data

We will never sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners and trusted affiliates for the purposes outlined above.
