Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the Ice Falcons Hockey Team ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our website (the "Site").
1. Information We Collect
We collect information from you when you interact with our Site, including:
- Information you give us. Our contact form asks for the parent or guardian’s first and last name, email address and phone number, and for the player’s first name, school district, school and grade for the coming season. You may also send us information directly by email.

2. How We Use Your Information

- Provide, improve and personalize our services
- Communicate updates and announcements, or respond to inquiries
- Analyze Site performance and usage patterns
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies allow us to remember your preferences and understand how you use our Site. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some Site features may be limited. Our Cookie Policy lists each cookie the Site sets and what it does.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties except in the following cases:
- With service providers. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate our Site and services, provided they agree to protect your data. These currently include the providers listed below.
- For legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal processes.

5. Data Security
We implement security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to safeguarding your data.
6. Links to Other Websites
Our Site contains links to external websites, including the New York Islanders High School Hockey League (NYIHSHL), USA Hockey and the US Center for SafeSport. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage users to review their privacy policies separately.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Site is written for parents and guardians, not for children. Our contact form asks for a player’s first name, school district, school and grade, and is meant to be completed by a parent or guardian on the player’s behalf. We do not ask children to submit information about themselves, and we do not knowingly collect information directly from a child under the age of 13.
Player details are used only to respond about tryouts, registration and team placement. If you would like us to delete details you have sent us, contact us and we will do so.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
