Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 1, 2026

1. Who We Are and What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy explains how The Basketball Summit, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information. We operate The Basketball Summit website, mobile application, and related online services (the "Website"), and we organize and run The Basketball Summit events, registrations, ticketing, sponsorships, and merchandise sales.

We are the business responsible for (the "controller" of) the personal information described in this Policy.

This Policy covers information we collect through the Website, through event registration and ticketing, at our events, and when you contact us by email, phone, or social media. It does not cover third-party websites or services we link to, which have their own privacy policies.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal information:

Contact and account information. Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, username, and password, which you give us when you create an account, register, buy tickets, or contact us.
Registration and participant information. Team name, age or date of birth, gender, skill level, jersey size, emergency contact, and, for minors, parent or guardian details. This comes from you or from a parent, guardian, or team organizer who registers a participant.
Health and safety information. Allergies, medical conditions, or injury information that you or a parent or guardian choose to give us for participant safety, and incident reports from our events. This is sensitive personal information, and we collect it only with consent.
Purchase and payment information. Tickets and items purchased, billing address, and transaction history, from you and from our payment and ticketing providers. Our payment processors handle card numbers; we do not store them.
Business information. Company name, title, and contact details of sponsors, vendors, and exhibitors.
Communications. Messages, survey responses, feedback, and customer service records.
Photos, video, and user content. Content you post or submit to us, and photos and video of attendees and participants taken at events by our staff and media partners.
Device and usage information. IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring pages, clicks, and approximate location based on IP address, collected automatically through cookies and log files (see Section 6).
Marketing and preference information. Your communication preferences, your interests, and how you heard about us.

You do not have to give us personal information, but some features, purchases, and event registrations require it.

3. How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

operate the Website, create and manage accounts, and process registrations, tickets, and purchases;
run events, including check-in, scheduling, team placement, participant safety, and emergency response;
communicate with you about your account, registrations, purchases, event changes, and customer service requests;
send marketing communications, where permitted by law and subject to your choices;
manage sponsorships and vendor relationships;
analyze and improve the Website, our events, and our services;
promote The Basketball Summit using event photos and video, as described in Section 4;
detect and prevent fraud, ticket abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms of Use; and
comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights.

We use health and safety information only for participant safety and event administration, never for marketing.

4. Event Photography and Video

Our events are public and may be photographed, filmed, recorded, and streamed by us and our media partners. Attendance and participation are subject to the applicable ticket terms, registration terms, and releases, which describe how event images may be used. To ask us not to feature a specific image of you or your child in our promotional materials, contact us using the details in Section 13.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing or for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We disclose personal information only in these circumstances:

Service providers that help us operate the Website and our events, such as hosting, registration and ticketing platforms, payment processors, analytics, and email services. They may use personal information only to perform services for us, not for their own purposes.
Team organizers and coaches, who receive the roster and contact information they need to manage their team's participation.
Event operations and safety: venues, officials, and medical or security personnel, only as needed to run an event and keep participants safe.
Legal and safety purposes: to comply with law, legal process, or government requests; to enforce our Terms of Use; or to protect the rights, safety, and property of The Basketball Summit, our attendees, or others.
Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business or assets, subject to this Policy's protections.
At your direction or with your consent.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Website working, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the Website. We do not use advertising cookies or pixels that share your information with third parties for targeted advertising.

Partner websites and features. The Website links to, and may include features from, partners and other third parties, such as ticketing and registration platforms, payment processors, sponsors, and social media sites. Those partners may set their own cookies and collect information about you when you use their sites or features. Their practices are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, not this Policy.

Your choices. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Website or partner services, such as ticketing or checkout, work. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information.

7. Children's Information

The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from them through the Website. Users aged 13 to 17 may use the Website only with a parent's or guardian's involvement, as described in our Terms of Use.

When a minor takes part in our events, a parent or legal guardian registers the minor and gives us the minor's information. We use it only to run the event, keep participants safe, and communicate with the parent or guardian. We do not market to minors, and we do not sell or share minors' personal information for targeted advertising.

A parent or guardian may review, correct, or ask us to delete their child's information at any time by contacting us. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information without a parent's consent, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Marketing Communications

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in the email. We send marketing text messages only with your express consent, and you can opt out by replying STOP. If you opt out of marketing, we may still send messages about your account, registrations, purchases, and event updates.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, and other states with consumer privacy laws, you may have the right to:

know and access the personal information we have collected about you, including its categories, sources, purposes, and recipients;
correct inaccurate personal information;
delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions;
obtain a copy of your personal information in a portable format;
opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, and certain profiling;
limit the use of sensitive personal information, such as health information, and withdraw any consent you gave for it; and
not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

How to submit a request. Email us at support@thebasketballsummit.com or write to the address in Section 13. We will verify your identity before acting on a request to access, correct, or delete information, and may ask for details that match what we already hold. An authorized agent may submit a request for you with your written permission.

Timing and appeals. We respond within the time the law requires, generally 45 days, and will tell you if we need an extension. We do not charge a fee unless requests are excessive or repetitive, as the law allows. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision or emailing us with "Appeal" in the subject line. If we deny your appeal, you may contact your state attorney general.

10. Visitors Outside the United States

We are based in the United States, and your information will be processed in the United States. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on these legal bases:

performing our contract with you, such as registrations and ticket purchases;
our legitimate interests in running and promoting our events;
your consent, such as for non-essential cookies and marketing, which you may withdraw at any time; and
compliance with legal obligations.

You may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your data, to data portability, and to complain to your local data protection authority.

11. Data Retention and Security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this Policy, such as maintaining your account, running events, keeping financial and tax records, and resolving disputes. We keep registration and waiver records for 7 years after the event, and transaction records for 7 years after the transaction.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated Policy with a new Effective Date and, for material changes, give notice by email or on the Website before the changes take effect.
