Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 24, 2026

The Long Island Youth Flag Football League (“LIYFFL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website flagfootball.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit the Site, register a team or player, sign up as a free agent, or make a payment through the Site.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

• Registration information: When a parent, guardian, or coach registers a team, player, or free agent, we collect information such as the player’s name, age or date of birth, division, and jersey/shirt size, along with the parent’s or coach’s name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.
• Payment information: When you make a payment through the Site, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor. We do not store full credit card or debit card numbers on our servers.
• Contact form submissions: When you contact us through the Site, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message.
• Player and referee forms: Information you submit through player forms, referee rating reports, or other online forms on the Site.

Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain information when you visit the Site, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring website.
• Cookies: The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site functioning properly and to understand how visitors use the Site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not work correctly without them.

2. Children’s Privacy

Our league serves youth players, and we take children’s privacy seriously. Registration information for players under 18 must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

We collect only the information reasonably necessary to administer the league (such as a player’s name, age, and division placement). If you believe a child has provided us personal information without parental consent, please contact us using the information below and we will delete it.

3. Photos and Videos

League games, tournaments, and events may be photographed or recorded. Team and player photos (for example, championship team photos) may be posted on the Site and on our official social media accounts, including Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and YouTube. If you do not want your child’s photo posted, or would like a photo removed, please contact us and we will accommodate your request.

4. How We Use Your Information

• To process registrations and payments and administer league play (schedules, standings, rosters, and divisions)
• To communicate with parents, players, and coaches about schedules, weather updates, registration deadlines, and league news
• To match free agents with teams and allow coaches to contact free agents who have signed up
• To respond to questions and requests submitted through the Site
• To maintain, protect, and improve the Site

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Within the league: Free agent contact information is shared with coaches for the purpose of forming teams. Basic roster information may be shared with coaches, referees, and league officials as needed to run the league.
• Service providers: We use third-party providers for services such as payment processing, online forms, website hosting, and email. These providers only receive the information necessary to perform their services.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the league, our players, or others.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site contains links to third-party websites and embedded content, including our adult league site (liffl.com), social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube), online form providers, and payment processors. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review their policies before providing them any information.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain registration and league records for as long as reasonably necessary to administer the league, maintain league history (such as past champions), and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting us.

9. Your Choices and Rights

• You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you or your child.
• You may opt out of non-essential league communications at any time.
• You may request the removal of photos of you or your child from the Site or our social media accounts.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.

10. Changes to This Policy
