Privacy Statement

Shrewsbury Youth Soccer (SYS) is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the SYS web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the SYS website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

SYS collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. SYS also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by SYS. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring web site addresses. This information may be used by SYS for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the SYS web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through SYS public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: SYS does not read any of your private online communications.

SYS encourages you to review the privacy statements of web sites you choose to link to from SYS so that you can understand how those web sites collect, use and share your information. SYS is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on web sites outside of the SYS and SYS family of web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

SYS collects and uses your personal information to operate the SYS web site and deliver the services you have requested. SYS also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from SYS and its affiliates. SYS may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

SYS does not sell, rent or lease its visitor lists to third parties. SYS may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, SYS may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide visitor support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to SYS, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

SYS does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

SYS may keep track of the pages visited within the SYS web site by our visitors, in order to determine what SYS services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within SYS to visitors whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

SYS web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on SYS or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of SYS; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of SYS, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The SYS web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize SYS pages, or register with SYS site or services, a cookie helps SYS to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same SYS web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SYS features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the SYS services or web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

SYS secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. SYS secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

SYS will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and visitor feedback. SYS encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how SYS is protecting your information.

If you contact or respond to us with questions, information, opinions, suggestions or other comments or feedback with regard the Site, products, services or otherwise, you understand that the same is not confidential, nor are we required to hold it in confidence.
