Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 2, 2026

Seattle Niners Faithful respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through seattlefaithful.com, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Create or update a member account
Complete a member profile

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through your profile or other public-facing areas of the website.

When you use our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically as part of normal website operation, including:

Operate event registrations and check-ins
Award and track points, badges, streaks, and game results

We do not sell or rent members’ personal information.

Member Profiles and Public Information

Some profile information may be visible to other registered members or website visitors. This may include your display name, jersey name and number, avatar, membership year, points, badges, leaderboard position, check-in totals, and other club-related activity.

Do not add information to your profile that you do not want others to see. You may update or remove certain profile details through your account settings.

Event Check-Ins, Games, and Club Activity

When you check in at an event or participate in a club game or activity, we may retain a record of that participation.

These records may be used to:

Award points and badges
Track streaks and game results
Maintain leaderboards
Measure event participation
Recognize member involvement
Administer club programs

Public displays of this activity will generally use your chosen display name rather than your private contact information.

Account, Newsletter, and Club Communications

We may use your email address to:

Send account-related notices
Respond to questions or support requests
Confirm registrations or website activity
Share important information concerning events or club operations
Send The Foghorn newsletter, event information, announcements, games and member-program updates, and other Seattle Niners Faithful communications

When you create a Seattle Niners Faithful member account, the email address associated with that account is enrolled to receive SNF email updates. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by changing your Email Updates preference in Member Hub Settings.

Unsubscribing from newsletter and club-update emails does not prevent us from sending messages that are necessary to operate or secure your account or to respond to a request you make.

We may retain your subscription or opt-out preference, the date that preference changed, and limited email-delivery information such as delivery status, bounces, complaints, or suppression status. We use this information to honor your communication choices, maintain email deliverability, prevent unwanted repeat sends, and troubleshoot delivery issues.

Cookies

Our website may use essential cookies needed to:

Keep members signed in
Protect accounts and website security
Remember account or website preferences
Support forms, games, check-ins, and other website features

We do not currently use cookies for advertising or website analytics.

You may restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent account features or other parts of the website from working correctly.

Third-Party Services and Links

We may use outside service providers to host and operate the website, deliver website and newsletter email, process email-delivery feedback, prevent spam, display maps or embedded content, and support other website functions.

Our email delivery currently uses Amazon Web Services services, including Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) and related delivery-feedback services. These providers may process email addresses and limited technical or delivery information as necessary to send messages, report delivery status, process bounces or complaints, and protect email systems from abuse.

These providers may process limited technical or account information as necessary to provide their services and are subject to their own privacy policies and terms.

Our website may also contain links to third-party services such as Facebook, Instagram, X, Discord, Google Maps, partner venues, or other external websites. Seattle Niners Faithful does not control the privacy practices of those services.

How We Share Information

We may share information:

With service providers that help us operate and secure the website or deliver club communications
With event or venue partners when reasonably necessary to administer an event
When you direct or authorize us to share it
When required by law or valid legal process
When necessary to investigate fraud, security concerns, misconduct, or violations of club policies
To protect the safety, rights, or property of Seattle Niners Faithful, its members, partner venues, or others

We do not sell personal information or share member information with advertisers for their own marketing purposes.

Event Photographs and Video

Photographs and videos may be taken at Seattle Niners Faithful events. These images may be posted on our website, social media accounts, promotional materials, or other club communications to document and promote the club, its events, and its charitable activities.

Because events may take place in public or shared spaces, we cannot guarantee that attendees will not appear in photographs or videos.

Anyone with a concern about a specific image posted through an official Seattle Niners Faithful channel may contact club leadership. We will review reasonable removal requests, although removal may not always be possible if the image has already been printed, shared, downloaded, or reposted by others.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

Operate member accounts
Maintain event and participation records
Administer points, badges, games, and leaderboards
Maintain email preferences and delivery-suppression records so we can honor unsubscribe requests and avoid sending to addresses that have bounced or generated complaints
Protect website and account security
Resolve disputes
Enforce club policies
Meet legal or administrative obligations

Some historical participation, communication-preference, or administrative records may remain after an account is closed when reasonably necessary for security, recordkeeping, legal compliance, or the integrity of club programs.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

However, no website, database, or method of online transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Members are responsible for protecting their passwords and should contact us promptly if they believe their account has been accessed without authorization.

Your Choices and Requests

You may:

Change your SNF Email Updates preference or unsubscribe from newsletter and club-update emails
Request to review certain personal information associated with your account
Correct inaccurate account information
Delete your account or certain personal information
Obtain a copy of certain personal information we maintain about you

Some information may be retained when reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, enforcement of club policies, honoring communication opt-outs, or legitimate recordkeeping.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a privacy-related request.

Children’s Privacy

Our website, member accounts, and online club features are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

Seattle Niners Faithful events may be family-friendly, but a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising a child’s attendance and participation.

If we learn that personal information has been collected online from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, programs, or information practices change.

Any revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or other reasonable means.
