We may engage trusted third-party providers for hosting, email delivery, SMS notifications, and infrastructure support. These providers are contractually bound to use data only for the purpose of providing those services to TOC.

The TOC Registration Platform is developed and maintained by Tenaya Digital (tenayadigital.com). Technical personnel at Tenaya Digital may access platform data solely for the purpose of development, maintenance, debugging, and support activities, under strict confidentiality obligations.

5.4 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government regulation. We will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users when permitted by law.

5.5 No Sale of Data

TOC does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain registration, payment, and account data for as long as necessary to support ongoing event operations, financial reporting, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Upon written request, accounts that are no longer active may be deactivated and personal data removed, subject to any legal retention requirements.

Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of seven (7) years in accordance with standard accounting and tax requirements.

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures including:

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Do not share your password. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately.

Transactional communications (registration confirmations, invoices, reminders, security alerts) are necessary for platform operation and cannot be opted out of while your account is active.

9. Children's Privacy

The TOC Registration Platform is intended for use by adult school administrators, program directors, and coaches - not athletes or minors directly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information through this platform, please contact us at info@thetoc.org and we will remove it promptly.

Athlete participation data (squad lists, division assignments) may be submitted by authorized adult representatives and is processed solely in the context of event administration.
