Our Sites & Services may use third-party plug-ins to provide additional services. These third parties may collect information about you. When we use a plug-in we identify it and link to the third party's privacy policy. We may also collect geolocation information from your device so we can customize your experience. You can typically disable geolocation collection in your device or app settings.

You can interact with our content on or through social media services and other third-party platforms. When you do, you may allow us to access certain information in your profile such as name, email, photo, gender, birthday, location, IDs, user files, connections, or posts. Refer to the privacy policies on those services to manage what they share.

If we interact with you through third-party sites, we may receive information about your engagement with our content there, including content viewed and ads clicked.

Information from third-party services

We may obtain information from third parties and combine it with details collected through our Websites. For example, if you log in through a social login or other authentication service, we access information based on that provider's authorization process. You should review privacy settings on third-party services to understand what they share with us.

1. Law enforcement and safety

We may access, preserve, and/or disclose information collected through LEAGUE Sites & Services if required by law or if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, enforce our Terms and Conditions, respond to claims, protect rights or property, or safeguard personal safety. We may also disclose information to limit legal liability.

Information may be shared with third parties engaged to deliver services such as housing, meals, payment processing, email distribution, software, or other technical functions. These providers only receive the information needed to perform their duties and agree to maintain confidentiality. Review the policies of third-party providers, such as payment processors, before sharing additional information with them.

3. Business transfer

If we sell or purchase assets, or if another entity acquires us, information collected may be transferred. In bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings, information may be treated as an asset. We will seek to ensure any transferee honors this privacy statement.

Protecting children's privacy is paramount. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our LEAGUE Sites & Services are intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 13 to provide personal information without verifiable parental or guardian consent, except where limited exceptions apply, including but not limited to:

• Collecting a parent or child's contact information solely to provide notice and obtain consent;
• Collecting a parent's contact details to provide voluntary notice about a child's participation when no other personal information is collected;
• Collecting a child's contact information to respond one time to a specific request and deleting it afterward;
• Collecting a child and parent's contact information to respond more than once to a specific request without using it otherwise;
• Collecting contact information to protect a child's safety without using it for unrelated purposes;
• Collecting a persistent identifier solely to support internal operations; or
• Other instances permitted or required by law.

If we obtain verifiable consent, we collect, use, and disclose the child's information as described in this statement. Some features, such as forums and chat rooms, allow child users to share comments that may include personal information visible to other users. Parents should advise children of the risks of posting personal information online.

Parents or guardians can review or have their child's personal information deleted and may refuse further collection or use. To exercise these rights, email info@jointheleague.org or mail your request to The LEAGUE of Amazing Programmers, 12625 High Bluff Drive #107, San Diego, CA 92130. You can also call (858) 284-0481.
