Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ADAPT Academy, operated by By Any Means Basketball, LLC ("ADAPT," "we," "us," or "our"), is committed to protecting the privacy of our athletes, families, coaches, and program participants. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information in connection with the ADAPT Academy programs, including the ADAPT AAU Experience, club basketball programs, and related services.

By enrolling in an ADAPT Academy program, using our website, or communicating with us, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

Because ADAPT Academy serves a globally diverse community of athletes — many of whom are minors — we take our data privacy obligations especially seriously.

2. Who We Are

ADAPT Academy is a club basketball and player development program co-founded and operated under By Any Means Basketball, LLC, headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, USA. ADAPT Academy operates internationally, including in the United States, and serves athletes from numerous countries across multiple continents.

5. Privacy of Minors

ADAPT Academy programs are designed for young athletes, many of whom are under the age of 18. We are committed to protecting the privacy of minors in compliance with applicable laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States.

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental or guardian consent
• All registrations for participants under 18 must be completed by a parent or legal guardian
• Parents and guardians may contact us at any time to review, update, or request deletion of their child's personal information
• We do not share or publish identifiable information about minors without explicit parental consent

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will delete that information promptly.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our website, analyze traffic, and understand user behavior. You may manage or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some features of our site may not function correctly without them.

7. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: trusted third parties who assist us in delivering our programs and services (e.g., payment processors, email platforms, travel coordinators, hosting providers), subject to confidentiality obligations
• Tournament and Governing Bodies: AAU organizations, tournament hosts, and similar entities for athlete registration and competitive participation purposes

8. International Data Transfers

ADAPT Academy operates globally and serves athletes from numerous countries. As a US-based organization, personal data you provide may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your home country.

For athletes and families based in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other regions with specific data transfer requirements, we take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers are conducted in compliance with applicable regulations. By enrolling in an ADAPT Academy program, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States for the purposes described in this policy.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Sensitive data such as payment information is processed through secure, encrypted third-party payment systems.

However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure. We encourage you to take precautions to protect your personal information and to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your data.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain program records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Medical records and emergency contact information for minors are retained for the duration of their participation and for a reasonable period thereafter. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Depending on your location, you and your child (where applicable) may have the following rights regarding personal information:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold
• Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: request deletion of personal information, subject to legal and safety exceptions

12. Photography, Video, and Media

ADAPT Academy creates content featuring program participants for marketing, promotional, and social media purposes. By enrolling in an ADAPT program, participants and their guardians grant ADAPT Academy and By Any Means Basketball a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use photographs and videos captured during program activities.

If you do not wish for your child or yourself to appear in ADAPT media, please notify us in writing before the program begins. This will not affect eligibility for enrollment.

13. Third-Party Links

Our website and communications may contain links to third-party platforms, including social media, AAU portals, and partner organizations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those platforms and encourage you to review their policies independently.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website with a revised effective date. Your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
