North Atletico Futebol Club ("NAFC," "the club," "we," "us") owns and operates northafc.ca (the "Site").

It applies to the Site, our registration and interest forms, and the emails and text messages we send.

We handle personal information in accordance with Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you register a player for tryouts, evaluations, a team, or a club program, fill out an interest form, make a payment, or contact us, we may collect:

  • Player's first and last name, date of birth, age, and sex
  • Parent or guardian name
  • Email address, phone number, and mailing address
  • Team, age group, and program details
  • Payment details (processed by our payment providers. We do not store full card numbers.)
  • Anything else you choose to include in a form or message

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect information such as pages viewed, links clicked, referring website, approximate location, device and browser type, and IP address. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Cookies below).

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

  • Process registrations for tryouts, evaluations, teams, and club programs
  • Register players with the league and governing bodies, as required to play
  • Communicate about schedules, training, games, team selection, and club news
  • Process fees, payments, and fundraising orders
  • Understand how the Site is used and improve it
  • Measure and improve our advertising and outreach
  • Meet our legal, safety, and insurance obligations

We will not use your information for a new purpose without first telling you and, where required, getting your consent.

Children's Information

Most of our players are under 18. Registration is completed by a parent or legal guardian, who provides the player's information and consents to its collection and use on the player's behalf. If you believe we have collected a child's information without a parent or guardian's consent, please contact us and we will address it promptly.

Who We Share Information With

We do not sell personal information. We share it only as follows:

  • Club volunteers and staff (such as coaches, team managers, and directors) who need it to run club programs.
  • League and governing bodies, including the Edmonton Minor Soccer Association (EMSA) and other soccer organizations, when needed to register players and teams.
  • Service providers that help us operate, under agreements to protect your information. These include our website host (Squarespace), our registration and communications platform (Launchpad Pro), our team management platform (TeamLinkt), payment processors, and advertising and analytics providers (such as Meta, Google, and Microsoft).
  • When the law requires it, or when needed to protect the safety of players, members, or others, or to establish or defend legal claims.
  • In a merger or reorganization of the club, to the successor organization, which would remain bound by this policy.

Storage Outside Canada

Some of our service providers store or process personal information outside Canada, mainly in the United States. They do so to host our Site, manage registrations and communications, process payments, and provide analytics and advertising services. While it is outside Canada, your information may be subject to the laws of that country. For more information about how our service providers outside Canada handle personal information, contact our Privacy Officer.

Email and Text Messages

With your consent, we send emails and text messages about registration, schedules, team updates, club news, and fundraising. You can unsubscribe from email at any time using the link in any message, reply STOP to any text message, or contact us. Even after you unsubscribe, we may still send messages that are necessary for a registered player's participation (such as schedule changes).

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use:

  • Essential and functional cookies to make the Site work and remember your choices
  • Analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
  • Advertising cookies, including from third parties such as Meta, Google, and Microsoft, to measure and improve our ads and reach people who may be interested in the club

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, including any legal, insurance, or governing-body record-keeping requirements. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete it or make it anonymous.

How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information. These include encrypted (HTTPS) connections, password-protected accounts, and access limited to the people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you or your child, to correct it, or to withdraw your consent (subject to legal or contractual limits). Please email or write to our Privacy Officer. We will respond within the time required by law, generally within 45 days. Withdrawing consent may affect a player's ability to register or participate.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (oipc.ab.ca).

Links to Other Websites

The Site may link to other websites, such as league, payment, or fundraising sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please review their policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If the changes are significant, we may also notify registered families by email.
