Privacy Policy

Who We Are

This website is operated by Buckets By The Boardwalk, a youth basketball event organization based in the Wildwood, New Jersey area. In this policy, “Buckets By The Boardwalk,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to the organization operating this website.

Information We Collect

We may collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, team or organization information, and the contents of a message submitted through a contact form or email.
• Event-registration information. When you follow a registration link, your registration and payment information is collected by the third-party registration provider—not directly through this website.
• Automatically collected information. Our website host and service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, and approximate location derived from your IP address.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Squarespace and connected services may use cookies or similar tools that help the website function, remember preferences, measure site traffic, and understand how visitors use the site.

We do not intentionally collect payment-card information directly through this website.

How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Respond to questions, messages, and customer-service requests.
• Provide tournament information, event updates, and requested communications.
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and events.
• Understand website traffic and how visitors use our pages.
• Prevent fraud, misuse, or security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and the safety of others.

How Information Is Shared

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only when reasonably necessary:

• With service providers that help us host the site, communicate with visitors, process event registrations, analyze website use, or support our operations.
• When required by law, legal process, or a valid government request.
• When necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Buckets By The Boardwalk, our participants, or others.
• As part of a business reorganization, transfer, or similar transaction.
• With your direction or consent.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our website is hosted by Squarespace and includes links to services operated by other organizations. These may include event registration and scheduling platforms, hotel booking providers, Google Maps, Instagram, Facebook, and partner websites.

When you leave our website or submit information directly to another service, that organization’s privacy policy and terms govern its collection and use of your information. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal or payment information.

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Some cookies are necessary for the website to work. Others may help us understand website traffic or improve performance. Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies, although some website features may not function properly afterward.

If a cookie-preference banner is presented, you can use it to manage the optional cookies available through the site.

Children’s Privacy

Our events serve youth athletes, but this website and its contact and registration features are intended for coaches, parents, guardians, and other adults. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through this website without the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 13 has provided personal information directly to us, please contact us. We will review the request and take appropriate steps to delete the information where required.

Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to maintain appropriate business records, or to meet legal obligations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Choices

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that we maintain about you. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have additional privacy rights. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us. Transactional or service-related messages may still be sent when necessary.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will show when the policy was most recently revised.
