Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 18, 2026

Overview

KairoLink Foundation respects the privacy of families, athletes, donors, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners. This policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and retain information submitted through this website and related program forms.

Information We Collect

We may collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, parent or guardian details, athlete information, school and academic details, soccer experience, eligibility information, financial need information, medical or emergency contact details, references, uploaded documents, volunteer interests, partner details, and messages submitted through our forms.

Information About Minors

KairoLink works with youth athletes. Applications involving minors must be submitted by a parent, guardian, or authorized adult. Youth application records may include sensitive information and are treated as protected program records, not ordinary contact inquiries.

How We Use Information

We use information to review applications, evaluate eligibility, coordinate program participation, communicate with parents or guardians, support athlete safety, manage volunteers and partners, respond to inquiries, administer donations and sponsorship interest, improve our website, and maintain foundation records.

Donations

Online donations are processed through Zeffy. KairoLink may receive donor contact details, donation amounts, receipt information, and campaign information from Zeffy for nonprofit administration, donor acknowledgments, and reporting. Payment card information is handled by Zeffy and is not stored by KairoLink on this website.

Third-Party Services

This website may use service providers including Netlify for hosting, Supabase for database and storage services, Zeffy for donations and fundraising, email providers for notifications, and embedded or linked services such as maps, videos, or social media platforms. These providers may process information according to their own policies and agreements.

Who Can Access Information

Access to application records, uploaded documents, and sensitive youth or family information is limited to authorized KairoLink personnel, reviewers, administrators, and service providers who need access for program, safety, operational, or legal purposes. We do not sell personal information.

Media, Photos, and Stories

KairoLink may share photos, videos, stories, or impact updates only when appropriate consent has been obtained or when the material is not personally identifying. Youth names, images, stories, and identifying details should not be published without documented parent or guardian consent.

Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for program review, athlete safety, nonprofit administration, donor records, legal compliance, audit needs, and operational purposes. Uploaded documents and sensitive application materials are reviewed periodically and may be deleted, archived, or anonymized when no longer needed.

Your Choices

You may ask to review, correct, or delete information you submitted, subject to legal, safety, donor record, and program administration requirements. Parents or guardians may contact KairoLink about youth records submitted through the website.

Security

KairoLink uses reasonable technical and organizational safeguards for submitted information, including private storage for sensitive documents where applicable, restricted administrative access, and server-side form handling. No system is completely secure, so families should avoid submitting information that is not requested.

Cookies and Tracking

This website may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to support basic functionality, remember form behavior, protect forms from abuse, support admin login sessions, and keep embedded services working correctly. If analytics tools are enabled, they may help KairoLink understand general traffic patterns without collecting sensitive youth information. Donation forms and third-party embeds such as Zeffy, maps, videos, and social media links may set their own cookies. You can manage, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect forms or embedded features.
