1. Introduction

National Boosters Foundation (“NBF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Arizona that supports athletes, teams, coaches, business partners, and communities nationwide. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit www.nationalboostersfoundation.org (the “Site”), donate, start a campaign, apply for a scholarship or NIL opportunity, or otherwise interact with us.

National Boosters Foundation is a subsidiary of Arizona Boosters Foundation, Inc.

By using the Site or our services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

3. Information About Minors

NBF works with student-athletes, including individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). For applicants between 13 and 17, we may require parent or guardian consent before processing NIL opportunities, scholarship applications, or campaign participation. If you believe a child has provided personal information without proper consent, contact us immediately at contact@boostersfoundation.org and we will remove it.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use information to:

Process donations and issue tax-deductible donation receipts
Operate fundraising campaigns and match teams with vendors, partners, and resources
Evaluate scholarship, NIL, and team-support requests
Communicate with you about programs, partnerships, events, and updates
Connect athletes with NIL opportunities and brand partners
Maintain records required for our 501(c)(3) compliance and reporting
Improve the Site, programs, and user experience
Prevent fraud and enforce our Terms of Use
Comply with legal obligations

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

Service providers: payment processors, email and CRM platforms, analytics providers, and hosting services that help us operate
Business and brand partners: when you apply for or accept an NIL opportunity, scholarship, or partnership, we share relevant information with the partner involved (with your consent where required)
Teams, schools, or community organizations: when relevant to the campaign or support request you submitted
Legal and safety: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of NBF, our users, or others
In connection with organizational changes: such as a merger, dissolution, or transfer of operations to another nonprofit

6. Donations and Payment Information

Donations are processed by third-party payment processors. NBF does not store full credit card numbers on our servers. Donor information may be retained for tax-receipt, accounting, IRS Form 990 reporting, and donor-stewardship purposes. If you wish to donate anonymously or opt out of donor recognition, contact us before donating.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and support our fundraising and partner programs. When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. Your choice is saved in your browser and respected on every subsequent visit.

What we collect through cookies and embedded tools

Contact forms: Information you submit (name, email, phone, organization, sport, message) is processed by EmailJS and sent to our team. No form data is stored in third-party databases beyond delivery.
Donations: Our Zeffy-powered donation form embeds a third-party payment tool. Zeffy may set cookies to operate the form securely. NBF does not receive or store your payment card details.
Analytics: We may use analytics tools to collect aggregated data on pages visited, time on site, referral sources, and device/browser type. This data is anonymized and not linked to your identity. Analytics cookies are only loaded after you grant consent.
Embedded partner tools: Some pages include embedded content from partner brands (e.g., Sly Energy, Influxer, Zeffy). These third-party embeds may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies.

Cookie categories

Essential: Required for the site to function — navigation, security, and form submission. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics: Google Analytics cookies that help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Only active after you consent.
Marketing: Used by embedded partner and fundraising tools to support our programs. Only active after you consent.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser’s local storage or revisiting the site in a private window. You can also disable cookies entirely through your browser settings, though this may affect certain features.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you
Opt out of marketing emails (use the unsubscribe link or contact us)
Request a copy of your data
Withdraw consent for certain processing
(California residents) Exercise rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know, delete, and opt out of “sale” of personal information — though NBF does not sell personal information

To exercise any of these rights, email contact@boostersfoundation.org. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations (including IRS recordkeeping for charitable contributions), resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Donor records are typically retained for at least seven years to meet tax and audit requirements.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No system is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted online.

11. Third-Party Links

The Site links to partner pages (Sly Energy, Pure Green, Twin Peaks, Pink Champs, and others) and external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their policies separately.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, communicated by email.
