Privacy Policy

Samba Soccer Training ("Samba Soccer Training," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website and the programs and services we offer.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us — for example, when you register for a program, fill out a form, or contact us. This may include:

• Parent or guardian name and contact details (email address, phone number, and mailing address).
• Player (child) information such as name, age or grade, and school.
• Program preferences and registration details.
• Payment information, processed through our third-party payment providers (we do not store full card numbers).

We also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed, through cookies and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Register players and administer our programs, camps, and training sessions.
• Communicate with you about registrations, schedules, changes, and program updates.
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
• Process payments and maintain records.
• Send you information, reminders, and — with your consent — marketing or promotional messages.
• Improve our website, programs, and services, and comply with legal obligations.

3. SMS / Text Message Communications

If you opt in to receive text messages from Samba Soccer Training, we may send you SMS/text messages related to program registrations, schedules, reminders, updates, and account or customer-service notifications.

• Consent. By providing your mobile phone number and opting in (for example, by checking a box or submitting a form that requests SMS consent), you agree to receive text messages from us at that number. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.
• Message Frequency. Message frequency varies based on your activity and program participation.
• Costs. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan.
• Opt-Out. You can cancel SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. After you send STOP, we will send a confirmation message and then stop sending SMS messages. You may re-subscribe at any time.
• Help. For help, reply HELP or contact us at [email protected].
• No Sharing of Opt-In Data. We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in / consent information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. This information may be shared only with service providers who help us deliver text messaging (such as our messaging platform), solely for that purpose.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service Providers. Third parties that perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, registration and scheduling platforms, email and text-message delivery, and website hosting. These providers may use your information only to provide services to us.
• Legal and Safety. When required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our participants, staff, or others.
• Business Transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy.

6. Children's Privacy

Our programs serve children, and we collect information about minors only as needed to register and administer participation — and only from a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through our website without parental consent. If you believe we have collected information from a child in a manner inconsistent with this policy, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Choices and Rights

You may update or correct your information, opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link, or opt out of SMS messages by replying STOP. Subject to applicable law, you may also request access to or deletion of your personal information. To exercise these choices, contact us at [email protected].

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may link to third-party sites or services (such as social media or registration platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Your continued use of our website or services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
