Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 1, 2025

Rugby LA ("we," "us," or "our") operates rugbyla.org (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your personal data on our site.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. We do not collect information passively through tracking cookies or use third-party advertising networks.

Job Applications: If you apply for a position or volunteer opportunity, we collect your name, contact information, resume, employment history, education details, and any other application materials you submit.

Program or Event Registration: If you register for a Rugby LA-hosted program activity or event, we collect your name, contact information, and other details relevant to the event.

Donations: When you make a financial contribution to support our mission, the transaction is processed securely through our third-party partner, Givebutter.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following specific purposes: to respond to your questions, comments, and inquiries; to evaluate and process job or volunteer applications; to manage event registration and participation; to manage donor relationships, issue tax receipts, and send updates about our programs (where permitted or requested); and to comply with legal obligations.

3. Third-Party Disclosures and Financial Data

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. We do not share your data with third parties for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.

Donation Processing: All online donations are processed securely by Givebutter. We do not collect or store credit card numbers or banking information on our servers. Your payment data is subject to the privacy practices of the payment processor. We encourage you to review the Givebutter Privacy Policy for details on how your financial information is managed.

Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting our organizational activities, provided they agree to keep this information confidential.

4. Cookies and "Do Not Track" Signals

Our website does not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party advertising pixels. Because our Site does not track users over time or across third-party websites, it does not alter its behavior or respond differently to browser "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals.

5. Data Security and Retention

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect the personal information you submit through our forms. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with applicable laws.

6. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it immediately.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for regulatory reasons. When we make updates, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
