Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 16, 2026
Last Updated: September 16, 2026

Kapusta Hockey Academy (“KHA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information provided to us through our website, registration forms, payment portals, events, programs, and related services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, how it is protected, and the choices available to you.

This Privacy Policy applies to the entire Kapusta Hockey Academy website, including kapustahockey.com, all webpages, registration processes, payment pages, contact forms, and other online services operated on behalf of Kapusta Hockey Academy.

By using our website, submitting a registration form, registering a participant, making a payment, or otherwise providing information to Kapusta Hockey Academy, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Kapusta Hockey Academy.

Registration and Participant Information

When registering yourself or another participant for a Kapusta Hockey Academy camp, clinic, training session, event, or other program, we may collect information including:

Participant's first and last name
Parent or legal guardian's name
Email address
Telephone number
Mailing address or location information
Participant's date of birth or age
Participant's gender, where relevant to a program
Hockey position
Team, club, organization, or hockey affiliation
Skill level or playing experience
Jersey or apparel size
Emergency contact information
Registration selections
Camp, clinic, event, or program selections
Information voluntarily provided in registration responses
Other information reasonably necessary to administer a program or provide our services

We ask that parents or legal guardians complete registrations involving minor participants.

Payment and Transaction Information

Kapusta Hockey Academy uses Stripe to process certain online payments.

When you make a payment through our website or payment portal, information may be collected and processed by Stripe, including:

Name
Email address
Billing address
Credit or debit card information
Payment method information
Transaction amount
Transaction date
Other information required to authorize and process the transaction

Payment card information entered through a Stripe-hosted or Stripe-powered payment interface is processed by Stripe. Kapusta Hockey Academy does not need to directly receive or store your complete credit or debit card number to process these transactions.

KHA may receive transaction-related information from Stripe, such as the purchaser's name, email address, payment amount, payment status, transaction identifier, payment date, and limited payment-method information.

Stripe's collection and processing of personal information is also governed by Stripe's own privacy policies and terms.

2. Registration Forms and Tally

Kapusta Hockey Academy uses Tally to operate certain online registration forms and collect information submitted by participants, parents, and guardians.

Information entered into a KHA registration form may therefore be transmitted to and processed or stored through Tally's systems on behalf of Kapusta Hockey Academy.

Kapusta Hockey Academy determines the information requested through its registration forms and how that registration information is used for KHA programs. Tally provides technology used to collect and process those submissions.

Registration information collected through Tally may be accessed by authorized Kapusta Hockey Academy personnel for purposes including:

Processing registrations
Communicating with participants and parents
Administering camps, clinics, and programs
Organizing events
Maintaining registration records
Providing customer support
Coordinating payments
Communicating important program information

Tally's processing of information is also subject to Tally's own privacy and data-protection policies.

Participants should not enter credit card numbers, bank account information, passwords, Social Security numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive financial or identification information into ordinary KHA registration fields.

3. How We Use Information

Kapusta Hockey Academy may use information we collect to:

Process registrations
Confirm event and program enrollment
Process and reconcile payments
Communicate with participants, parents, and guardians
Send registration confirmations
Provide schedules, locations, instructions, reminders, and program updates
Operate hockey camps, clinics, training programs, and other events
Manage participant rosters
Respond to questions and customer service requests
Maintain business, accounting, registration, and transaction records
Prevent fraudulent or unauthorized transactions
Protect the security of our website and services
Improve our programs, website, registration process, and customer experience
Comply with legal, tax, accounting, insurance, or regulatory requirements
Enforce our policies and agreements
Protect the rights, safety, and property of KHA, our participants, our staff, and others

We may also use contact information to communicate about future Kapusta Hockey Academy programs, camps, clinics, or opportunities where permitted by applicable law.

Recipients may request to stop receiving promotional communications at any time.

Operational communications concerning an existing registration, transaction, event, or program may still be sent when necessary.

4. Children and Minor Participants

Kapusta Hockey Academy provides hockey programs that may include children and teenage athletes.

Registration for minor participants should be completed by a parent or legal guardian.

Parents and guardians may provide information about their child that is reasonably necessary to register the child for and administer a Kapusta Hockey Academy program.

Kapusta Hockey Academy does not intend for children under the age of 13 to independently submit personal information through the website or registration system without the involvement and authorization of a parent or legal guardian.

If you are under 13, please do not independently submit personal information through our website or registration forms. A parent or legal guardian should complete the registration process on your behalf.

If we learn that personal information has been collected directly online from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent and appropriate consent was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation, including deleting the information where appropriate.

Parents and legal guardians may contact Kapusta Hockey Academy regarding personal information associated with their child and may request to review, correct, or delete that information, subject to applicable legal and recordkeeping requirements.

5. How We Share Information

Kapusta Hockey Academy does not sell personal information in exchange for money.

We may share information when reasonably necessary to operate our programs, website, registration system, and business.

Service Providers

We may use third-party companies that provide services necessary to operate our website, registrations, payments, communications, technology, and business operations.

These providers may include:

Tally – registration and form processing
Stripe – payment processing
Website hosting and technology providers
Email and communications providers
Analytics and website-performance providers
Accounting, administrative, and business service providers

These companies may process information as necessary to provide their services to Kapusta Hockey Academy and may maintain their own privacy policies governing their activities.

Hockey Programs and Events

Information may be shared internally with KHA coaches, staff members, administrators, contractors, or event personnel when reasonably necessary to operate a program or event.

For example, coaches or program administrators may receive participant names, age groups, positions, team information, contact information, or other information necessary to organize and administer a camp, clinic, training session, or event.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

Comply with applicable laws or regulations
Respond to lawful requests, court orders, or legal processes
Investigate suspected fraud or unlawful activity
Protect the rights or property of Kapusta Hockey Academy
Protect the safety of participants, parents, staff members, or others
Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

Business Transfers

If Kapusta Hockey Academy undergoes a reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, or transfer of some or all of its operations or assets, information maintained by KHA may be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by law.

6. International Participants

Kapusta Hockey Academy may offer programs or accept registrations from participants located outside the United States, including participants located in Europe.

Because KHA uses third-party service providers and may serve participants across geographic regions, personal information may be processed or stored in countries different from the participant's country of residence.

Where applicable privacy laws provide additional rights concerning personal information, Kapusta Hockey Academy will make reasonable efforts to honor those rights as required by applicable law.

Depending on your location, these rights may include requesting:

Access to certain personal information
Correction of inaccurate personal information
Deletion of certain personal information
Restriction of certain processing
A copy of certain personal information
Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent

Certain rights may be limited where KHA has a legal, contractual, accounting, safety, or other lawful reason to retain or process information.

7. Cookies and Website Information

When you visit the Kapusta Hockey Academy website, certain information may be collected automatically by our website platform or third-party technology providers.

This information may include:

IP address
Browser type
Device type

Pages viewed
Referring website or URL
Date and time of access
General geographic information derived from an IP address

Website performance information

Our website and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate website functionality, maintain security, remember preferences, understand website usage, and improve website performance.

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be provided with additional choices regarding non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

8. Data Security

Kapusta Hockey Academy takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

KHA also uses established third-party platforms, including Stripe and Tally, for functions involving registration and payment processing.

However, no website, internet transmission, electronic storage system, payment system, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

9. Data Retention

Kapusta Hockey Academy retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business, accounting, tax, insurance, dispute-resolution, safety, and legal purposes.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information involved.

Registration and transaction records may be retained after an event has concluded when reasonably necessary for recordkeeping, accounting, legal compliance, resolving disputes, insurance purposes, or maintaining appropriate program records.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, KHA may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with our practices and applicable law.

Information processed by third-party service providers may also be retained according to those providers' legal obligations and retention policies.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

You may contact Kapusta Hockey Academy to request that we:

Provide information about personal information we maintain about you or your child
Correct inaccurate information
Update registration or contact information
Delete certain personal information
Stop certain uses of personal information
Provide a copy of certain information
Address a privacy-related concern

These rights may be subject to exceptions under applicable law.

For example, KHA may need to retain certain transaction or registration records to comply with legal, accounting, tax, insurance, safety, or contractual requirements.

We may also need to verify your identity or, for requests concerning a minor, your authority as the participant's parent or legal guardian before completing a request.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Kapusta Hockey Academy is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of websites and services that we do not control.

Visitors should review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information to them.

This includes third-party services used in connection with KHA registrations or payments, including Tally and Stripe.

12. Photography and Media

Kapusta Hockey Academy programs and events may be photographed, recorded, livestreamed, or otherwise documented.

Any permissions, releases, or consent regarding the use of a participant's image, likeness, voice, photograph, or video will be governed by the applicable registration terms, waiver, media release, or other consent presented in connection with the applicable program.

This Privacy Policy does not replace any separate photography, video, media, participation, liability, or publicity release applicable to a KHA program.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Kapusta Hockey Academy may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our website, registration process, service providers, programs, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When this Privacy Policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on our website and the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy will be changed.

We encourage visitors, participants, parents, and guardians to periodically review this Privacy Policy.
