Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 9, 2026

Cleveland Hockey Hub operates ClevelandYouthHockey.com as a local information resource for parents, players, coaches, clubs, training providers, tournament organizers, rinks, and other hockey organizations in Northeast Ohio. This policy explains what information the site collects and how it is handled.

Information we collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide through our public forms or direct communications. This can include your name, email address, phone number, organization name, role, website or source links, listing details, event details, messages, and other information included in your submission. If you provide files, logos, or images through an approved submission method or follow-up communication, we may also retain those materials for review.

The site’s hosting, security, spam-prevention, and administrative systems may also process technical information such as an IP address, browser type, device information, timestamps, and request logs.

Forms and submissions

The site provides forms for submitting directory updates, events, contact messages, listing claims, and sponsor or advertising inquiries. Submitted information is stored for administrative review and may be used to verify facts, respond to the sender, prevent spam, maintain site records, or decide whether public content should be created or updated.

• Club and directory updates: may include organization details, contact information, official links, program information, and supporting source URLs.
• Event submissions: may include event names, dates, locations, organizers, registration links, descriptions, and source URLs.
• Claim This Listing submissions: may include the claimant’s identity, role, organization connection, official website, and verification details.
• Sponsor or advertising inquiries: may include business information, contact details, website links, areas of interest, and proposed timing.
• Contact messages: may include the sender’s name, email address, organization, subject, message, and optional phone number.

Submissions are reviewed before publication. Submitting information does not guarantee that it will be published. Public club, training provider, tournament, rink, event, or news information may be displayed when it is relevant, appropriately sourced, and approved by the site administrator. Personal contact information is not intended to be published automatically.

Youth and minors

This site is intended as an informational resource for parents, coaches, clubs, and hockey organizations. It does not knowingly request personal information directly from children. Parents, guardians, or authorized organization representatives should submit updates on behalf of minors when needed. Do not submit or publish private information about a minor without appropriate permission.

Cookies, analytics, spam protection, and security

WordPress, the site’s hosting provider, and enabled plugins may use cookies needed for site administration, security, preferences, or basic functionality. The site may use analytics or performance tools to understand general site usage. Spam-prevention and security services may review form data and technical request information to identify abuse, malicious activity, or automated submissions.

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no website or email system can guarantee absolute security.

Third-party websites and services

ClevelandYouthHockey.com links to official club websites, registration systems, event organizers, rinks, training providers, social media services, calendars, sponsors, and other third-party resources. Those websites and services are operated independently and have their own privacy practices. Cleveland Hockey Hub is not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of third-party websites.

How information is shared

Information may be shared with service providers that support website hosting, email delivery, spam prevention, security, backups, or site administration. Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect the site or its users, investigate misuse, or enforce site policies. We do not intend to sell personal information submitted through the site’s public forms.

Retention and corrections

Submission records may be retained as long as reasonably needed for review, verification, follow-up, site maintenance, security, recordkeeping, or legal obligations. Public directory information may remain available until it is corrected, removed, or no longer relevant.

To request a correction, update, or removal of information, use the Contact Us form or email info@clevelandyouthhockey.com. Please identify the relevant page or listing and explain the requested change. Additional verification may be required before changes are made.

Privacy questions

Questions about this policy or the site’s handling of information may be sent through the Contact Us page or to info@clevelandyouthhockey.com.

Policy updates and owner review

This policy may be updated as the website, forms, services, or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be revised when material changes are made.

This plain-English policy is provided for general informational purposes and is not legal advice. The site owner should review it and obtain professional legal advice when appropriate.
