Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect information for the Buchholz Math Team website, forms, and merch.

Effective date: September 2025

1) What we collect

  • Join/interest forms: name, grade, contact info, and team preferences you submit.
  • Merch orders: items, size/color, quantity, and contact info needed to fulfill orders.
  • Site usage: basic, non-identifying analytics (page views, device type) to improve the site.

2) How we use it

  • To communicate about practices, contests, events, and volunteer opportunities.
  • To process merch orders and coordinate pickup or delivery.
  • To maintain site reliability, security, and improve content.

3) Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information. We share data only as necessary to operate the team (e.g., with coaches/sponsors for rosters or event registration) or comply with law.

4) Cookies & analytics

We may use lightweight analytics and functional cookies to keep the site running smoothly. These do not identify you personally.

5) Third-party services

  • Discord & Instagram: If you follow links to our social channels, your use is governed by those platforms’ policies.
  • Email/Forms: If we use Google Forms or email links, those providers may process your information to deliver the service.
  • Payments: If we later enable online payments (e.g., Stripe), that provider will handle payment details—card numbers are never stored by us.

6) Data retention & security

We keep information only as long as needed for team operations or as required by school/district guidelines, then delete it safely. We apply reasonable safeguards to protect data.

7) Students & children’s privacy

We operate as a high-school team. If you are under 13, please have a parent/guardian contact us before submitting personal information online.

8) Your choices

  • Request access, correction, or deletion of your information.
  • Opt out of non-essential emails at any time.

9) Contact

10) Changes to this policy

We may update this page as our website or programs evolve. We’ll change the “Effective date” above when we do.
