Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how North Carolina Youth Soccer Association (“NCYSA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects and uses information through our website at ncsoccer.org (the “Site”).

What We Collect

This Site is an informational website. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal details to browse it. The information we collect falls into two categories.

Information You Enter

Some tools on the Site ask you to enter information so they can work. For example, the Find My Club locator asks for a ZIP code in order to show you the soccer clubs nearest to you. We use what you enter to provide that result.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect standard analytics information about your visit, including your IP address, approximate location, device and browser type, the pages you view, the links and buttons you click, searches you perform (such as a ZIP code entered into the Find My Club locator), and how you arrived at the Site. This information is used in aggregate to understand how the Site is used and to improve it.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and to understand how it is used.

The Site uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, services provided by Google LLC, to collect and analyze the automatic information described above. These tools use cookies to help us measure Site traffic, understand which content and tools people use, and improve the experience, including the performance of our outreach and advertising.

You can learn more about how Google handles this data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The Find My Club locator also uses the Google Maps API to display maps and to determine the location associated with the ZIP code you enter. Your use of Google Maps features is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being used, though some parts of the Site may not work properly if you disable them.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide the Site and its tools, such as returning nearby clubs when you enter a ZIP code;
  • Understand how the Site is used and improve it;
  • Measure and improve the performance of our outreach and advertising; and
  • Comply with applicable law.

We do not sell your personal information.

Platform Provider

The Site is powered by SportsEngine. SportsEngine collects device identifiers and usage data for analytics purposes as described in the NBCUniversal Privacy Policy.

Your Choices

  • You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.
  • You can opt out of Google Analytics using the browser add-on linked above.
