5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Tools

Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate the site, understand traffic and usage, improve functionality, and measure the effectiveness of our communications or advertising.

Depending on how our website is configured, these tools may include:

Wix cookies and analytics tools,
Google Analytics,
Google Ads,
Meta Pixel, and
other similar analytics, advertising, or performance tools.

These technologies may collect information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, date/time of visits, referring website, and interactions with our website or forms. Wix also provides cookie-consent tools, and tracking features on Wix may be configured to respect user consent settings where applicable.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through our website’s cookie banner or consent settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information:

with service providers who help operate the website, process registrations, send communications, or process payments;
with coaches, team representatives, officials, or staff when necessary for league operations;
with school or facility partners when reasonably necessary for league administration or safety;
with emergency personnel or medical providers in an emergency;
when required by law, court order, or legal process; and
to protect the rights, safety, and property of GRIT, participants, or others.

7. Third-Party Services, Forms, Payments, and Embedded Tools

We may use third-party service providers to operate our website and league services. Depending on our setup, these services may include:

Wix for website hosting, forms, and site functionality;
Wix Payments or another payment processor for registration payments;
Google Analytics or Google Ads for analytics and advertising measurement;
Meta Pixel for advertising and conversion tracking; and
embedded or linked third-party tools such as maps, videos, scheduling tools, or social media widgets. Wix supports integrations such as Meta Pixel and payment services, and payment processing may also involve third-party providers depending on how the site is configured.

These third parties may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party providers, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting information or using those services.

8. Children’s Privacy

GRIT is a youth sports league, but our website and online forms are intended to be used by parents or legal guardians, not by children independently.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the website without appropriate parental involvement. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us directly without parental authorization, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

If our site is considered directed to children under 13, or if we have actual knowledge that we are collecting personal information online from a child under 13, federal law may require parental notice and verifiable parental consent.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

operate the league,
maintain records,
satisfy legal, safety, and administrative needs,
resolve disputes, and
enforce our agreements and policies.

We may retain some information longer when required by law or when reasonably necessary for safety, incident documentation, or operational history.

11. Your Choices

You may choose not to provide certain information, but doing so may limit your ability to register, apply, or use certain website features.

You may also:

opt out of non-essential communications;
contact us to update or correct information you previously submitted; and
request deletion of certain information, subject to operational, legal, and safety needs.

12. Texas Privacy Rights

If and to the extent applicable, Texas residents may have certain rights regarding their personal data under Texas law, including rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal data, and to appeal certain privacy-right decisions. Texas’s Data Privacy and Security Act generally exempts small businesses, but it still requires consent before selling sensitive data, including sensitive data of a known child.

If GRIT receives a valid request that applies to us under law, we will review and respond as required.

13. Photo and Video

GRIT may collect and use photo/video content in accordance with the permissions granted through registration or league forms. This Privacy Policy does not replace any separate photo/video release or consent collected by the league.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time for legal, operational, or administrative reasons. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
