Children’s Privacy

VB Select Lacrosse serves youth athletes and their families. Protecting children’s privacy is important to us.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement, as required by applicable law.

Information submitted through registrations, contact forms, or similar features should be provided by a parent, legal guardian, or another authorized adult on behalf of the participant.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our website without appropriate parental consent, please contact us. We will promptly investigate the matter and, when appropriate, remove the information from our records.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services to help protect our website from spam and malicious activity.

Website Security

VB Select Lacrosse takes reasonable measures to protect the security of our website and visitor information.

Our website uses security software, including Really Simple Security and related security tools, to help protect against unauthorized access, malware, and other online threats.

According to the plugin developer, these security tools do not themselves process personally identifiable information. Additional information can be found in the plugin developer’s privacy documentation.
