Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 22, 2026

 

  1. Introduction

DC SCORES (“we,” “our,” “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our users, especially the children we serve. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you when you visit our website, www.dcscores.org, and use our services.

 

  1. Information We Collect
  • Personal Information: We may collect personal information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other contact details when provided by users (e.g., through registration forms or contact requests).
  • Usage Data: We automatically collect information about your interactions with our website, such as IP addresses, browser types, pages visited, and other similar data.

 

  1. How We Use Your Information
  • To provide, maintain, and improve our services.
  • To communicate with you, respond to your inquiries, and provide user support.
  • To monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve our website and services.
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and interests.

 

  1. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties except as described in this Privacy Policy. We may share information with:

  • Service Providers: Third parties who assist us in operating our website and providing our services, subject to confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Compliance: When required by law, regulation, or legal process.

 

  1. SMS and Text Messaging

If you provide your mobile phone number and opt in to receive text messages from DC SCORES, the following applies to that information:

  • No sharing for marketing: Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in consent data are never sold, rented, traded, or otherwise shared with any third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
  • Limited sharing for service: We may share mobile phone numbers and opt-in data only with subcontractors and service providers who are bound by strict confidentiality obligations, and only to the extent necessary to support customer service, message delivery, or the technical operation of our SMS program.
  • Protection of opt-in consent records: All text-messaging originator opt-in records and the associated consent data are kept private and are never transferred to third-party marketers.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of donating to, registering for, or attending any DC SCORES program or event. Our full SMS terms, including message frequency and rate information, are described in our Terms and Conditions.

 

  1. Children’s Privacy

Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us. Our website is intended for a general audience and not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

 

  1. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free.

 

  1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on our website. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
