OVERVIEW

The Decatur Shelby County YMCA (“YMCA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information through dscymca.org (the “Site”) and through online platforms used to support YMCA memberships, programs, applications, payments, communications, employment opportunities, and other activities.

​

Some YMCA services are provided through third-party platforms. These platforms may collect and process information for us or provide services directly to users. They may also maintain their own privacy policies and terms governing their services.

Please review this Privacy Policy to understand our information practices and the choices available to you.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect personal information that you provide through the Site or through online platforms used to provide YMCA services. Depending on how you interact with us, this information may include:

· Name and contact information, such as an email address, mailing address, or telephone number;

· Account, membership, and household information;

· Information about a child or other household member submitted by a parent, legal guardian, or other authorized individual;

· Program registrations, attendance information, waivers, acknowledgments, and service preferences;

· Payment, donation, and transaction information;

· Scholarship or financial-assistance information and supporting documents;

· Volunteer application, qualification, and reference information;

· Facility or room-rental information;

· Employment application information;

· Communications, questions, feedback, and information included in forms or inquiries; and

· Other information you choose to provide.

​

You may browse many portions of the Site without voluntarily providing personal information. However, certain information may be required to create an account, register for a program, apply for assistance, make a payment or donation, submit an application, or receive another requested service.

​

INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

When you visit or interact with the Site, the YMCA’s website provider and other technology providers may automatically collect certain information about your device and use of the Site. This information may include:

· IP address;

· Browser type;

· Device type;

· Operating system;

· Internet service provider;

· Pages viewed and links selected;

· The date and time of a visit;

· The website or source that referred you to the Site; and

· Similar technical and usage information.

​

This information may be used to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site and to understand generally how visitors interact with it.

​

CHILDREN'S INFORMATION

The YMCA provides programs and services for children and families. Online registrations, applications, and other submissions concerning a child under 13 must be completed by the child’s parent or legal guardian. Children under 13 may not independently create an account, register for a program, or submit personal information through the Site.

​

We collect information about children when it is provided by a parent or legal guardian in connection with a membership, program registration, application, payment, waiver, or other YMCA service. We use that information to administer the requested membership, program, activity, or service and for related operational, safety, communication, and recordkeeping purposes.

​

We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from a child under 13 without appropriate involvement and authorization from the child’s parent or legal guardian. If we learn that a child under 13 has independently submitted personal information through the Site, we will take reasonable steps to review and delete the information, as appropriate.

​

A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child under 13 has independently submitted personal information through the Site may contact us using the information provided below.

​

WEBSITE HOSTING, COOKIES, AND EMBEDDED CONTENT

The Site is hosted through Wix. Wix and other technology providers may collect technical and usage information and use cookies or similar technologies to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site. Cookies are small files placed on a user’s device that allow a website or service to recognize the device or remember certain information.

​

The Site may also include embedded videos, maps, and other content provided by third parties. When you view or interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may collect technical information, place cookies, or otherwise process information about your interaction with the content. The provider’s collection and use of information are governed by its own privacy policy and terms.

​

You may configure your browser to refuse certain cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, some portions of the Site or connected services may not function properly.

​

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We may use personal information for the purposes described below, depending on how you interact with the YMCA:

We may use contact information to send YMCA news, program and event information, surveys, fundraising communications, membership opportunities, and other updates. Recipients may unsubscribe from promotional emails by following the instructions included in the communication.

​

ONLINE PLATFORMS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS

We use third-party platforms and service providers to host and operate the Site, administer memberships and program registrations, process payments and donations, receive applications and supporting documents, communicate with members and other individuals, and support other YMCA operations.

​

Depending on the service requested, these providers may collect or maintain contact information, household and membership information, program information, transaction information, application materials, supporting documents, technical information, and other information submitted in connection with the service.

​

Some platforms are linked from or integrated with the Site. When you use a third-party platform, your use of that platform may also be governed by the provider’s own privacy policy and terms.

​

Text Messages

We use Daxko Engage to send text messages to individuals who have affirmatively enrolled in the YMCA’s text-messaging program.

Individuals enroll by texting “DSCYMCA” to 54539 and confirming their consent by replying “YES” to the follow-up message. Merely providing a telephone number in connection with a membership, registration, donation, application, inquiry, or contact form does not enroll an individual in text-message communications.

​

The YMCA uses text messages for facility and operational communications, which may include:

· Facility closures and delays;

· Schedule changes;

· Program reminders and cancellations;

· Safety or emergency information; and

· Similar operational updates.

​

The YMCA does not use this text-messaging program to promote events, programs, fundraising opportunities, or memberships.

Message frequency may vary, and message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing a membership, registering for a program, making a donation, or receiving YMCA services.

​

Recipients may reply STOP to stop receiving text messages or HELP for assistance.​
