Little League Internet Privacy Policy
The
Little League Baseball Internet Privacy Policy has been written
to answer questions you might have about online privacy. As a youth
organization, we are very concerned about privacy and go to extraordinary
measures to safeguard any personal information we may collect about
you or your children. This policy refers
only to information collected on this web site.
Advice to Children and Parents -
We strongly advise children to get their parent's or guardian's
permission before submitting any kind of personal data over the
Internet. We urge parents to be very clear with their children regarding
the danger of giving personal information to anyone (online or in
person) they don't know. We also encourage parents and guardians
to spend time online with their children and to participate in the
activities offered on the sites they visit.
Parents and legal guardians have the opportunity to restrict Little
League Baseballs access to any personal information collected
from children under the age of 13. In addition, parents and legal
guardians have the right to request that any information currently
held by Little League Baseball that has been collected online about
their child or children be deleted.
What personal information do we collect?
At Little League Baseball, we don't collect personal information
about you or your children online (name, address, e-mail, and so
on) unless you provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. The only
times we will ask for personal or contact information from you will
be:
- to enable us to respond to your inquiry,
- to register you for a contest, or
- to take your subscription for a Little League Baseball publication
that is being delivered electronically.
If you do not want your personal information collected, even for
these reasons, please do not submit it to us.
Do we disclose it?
Little League Baseball Incorporated does not sell, loan, exchange,
or make available in any way the names, addresses, or any other
contact or demographic information concerning our volunteers or
players.
How do we use it?
Any information gathered on this website is for the express use
of Little League Baseball Incorporated and will be used for the
sole purpose of furthering the mission of Little League Baseball
Incorporated.
No information collected on this website from children under 13
years of age is used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever,
either inside or outside Little League Baseball Incorporated, except
as explicitly stated during registration for contests. In that case,
the information collected is used only for the specific contest
and is not saved in any form after the end of the contest.
Contests and Submissions
We sometimes offer contests, games, and promotions; or invite you
to submit stories, comments, or questions to certain areas of our
site. On these occasions, we may ask you to voluntarily submit your
e-mail address along with your contest entry or submission so that
we can notify you if you are a winner, or to respond to (or ask)
questions.
If you are under the age of 13 years, you must provide us
with your parent's or legal guardian's e-mail address and obtain
permission from your parent or legal guardian before collecting
your prize. Your parent or guardian will then be notified that
you have entered a Little League Baseball contest. We will send
them an e-mail message giving them an opportunity to limit your
participation, if they wish.
