Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 13, 2026

The North American Hockey League ("NAHL," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you use websites, mobile applications, and other digital services operated by or on behalf of the North American Hockey League and its affiliated leagues, including the North American Hockey League (NAHL), North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL), and North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) (collectively, the "Services").

This Privacy Policy applies to the Services on which it is posted or linked.

1. Information We Collect

The information collected depends upon how you interact with the Services and the features you use.

Mobile Applications

Our mobile applications do not currently require users to create an account or provide personal information in order to use the applications.

The mobile applications may use a device or push-notification token and related technical information necessary to deliver push notifications to your device. You may enable or disable push notifications through your device settings.

The mobile applications do not currently collect precise or approximate device location information, contain third-party advertising, or collect payment information.

Websites and Other Services

When you use our websites or other Services, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you contact us, request support, register for a service or feature, make a purchase, participate in a promotion, or otherwise communicate with us.

Depending upon the Service, this information may include your name, email address, contact information, account information, transaction information, and other information you choose to provide.

Information Collected Automatically

Our websites and certain other Services may automatically collect limited technical and usage information when you access or use them. This may include information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, device type, pages or content viewed, referring pages, dates and times of access, and other information concerning your interaction with the Services.

Websites may also use cookies and similar technologies to provide functionality, remember preferences, understand use of the Services, and improve performance.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the Services to:

provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services;
provide content, schedules, scores, statistics, video, news, notifications, and other features;
deliver push notifications requested or permitted by users;
respond to questions, support requests, and other communications;
process transactions when offered through a website or other applicable Service;
maintain the security, reliability, and integrity of the Services;
diagnose technical problems and prevent fraud, misuse, or unauthorized activity;
understand how the Services are used and improve their functionality and performance;
comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, and governmental requests; and
protect the rights, property, safety, and interests of the NAHL, its affiliated leagues, our users, and others.

We do not sell personal information collected through our mobile applications.

We do not currently use information collected through our mobile applications for targeted advertising.

3. Push Notifications

Our mobile applications may offer push notifications concerning games, schedules, scores, news, league information, or other relevant content.

If you enable push notifications, information such as a device or push-notification token may be processed as necessary to deliver those notifications.

You can control or disable push notifications at any time through the notification settings on your mobile device.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party companies and service providers to operate, host, maintain, secure, distribute, and support the Services and their functionality.

These providers may include companies that provide hosting, cloud infrastructure, content delivery, video or media technology, push-notification services, technical infrastructure, security, communications, payment processing, and other services.

These service providers may process information on our behalf to the extent reasonably necessary to provide their services to us. We expect service providers that process personal information on our behalf to handle such information appropriately and in accordance with applicable law.

The Services may also contain links to or integrate with websites, applications, platforms, or services operated by third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties that operate independently from us.

5. How We May Share Information

We may disclose information:

to vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf;
among the NAHL and its affiliated leagues where reasonably necessary to operate and provide the Services;
when required by law, legal process, court order, subpoena, or governmental request;
when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, security, or safety of the NAHL, our affiliated leagues, our users, or others;
to investigate or prevent fraud, security incidents, misuse, or violations of applicable terms or policies; or
in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or similar organizational transaction.

We do not sell personal information collected through our mobile applications to third parties.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Where personal or sensitive information is transmitted electronically, we use appropriate security measures designed to protect that information during transmission.

No Internet transmission, information system, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to provide and operate the Services, to meet legitimate operational requirements, and to comply with applicable legal, accounting, security, and regulatory obligations.

The mobile applications do not currently require or provide user accounts. Accordingly, there is no mobile-app user account that must be deleted when the application is removed from a device.

Push-notification tokens and similar information may cease to be usable or may be removed when notifications are disabled, an application is uninstalled, a token expires or changes, or the information is otherwise no longer required.

If you have provided personal information through one of our websites or other Services and would like to request access to, correction of, or deletion of that information, you may contact us using the information provided below. We will respond to requests as required by applicable law.

8. Location Information

Our mobile applications do not currently collect precise or approximate location information from your device.

If a mobile application introduces a feature in the future that requires access to location information, we will provide appropriate notice and request any permission required by the applicable device platform and law before accessing such information. This Privacy Policy may also be updated to reflect that change.

9. Analytics and Advertising

Our mobile applications do not currently contain third-party advertising or use personal information for targeted advertising.

We may in the future use analytics, diagnostics, or similar technologies to understand application performance, identify technical problems, or improve the Services. If those practices materially change the information collected through an application, we will update our disclosures as appropriate.

Our websites may use analytics, cookies, or similar technologies to understand website usage and improve the Services.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Services provide information and content relating to amateur and junior hockey and may therefore include content concerning players who are under the age of 18.

The presence of information about youth or junior hockey players does not mean that our mobile applications are designed to collect personal information directly from children.

Our mobile applications do not currently require users to create accounts or submit personal information through the applications.

If we learn that personal information from a child has been collected through a Service in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address the information.

11. Your Privacy Choices

Depending upon the Service and your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding personal information maintained about you, which may include rights to request access, correction, or deletion.

You may also control certain information collection through your browser and device settings. For example, you may disable push notifications through your mobile device settings and may control cookies through your browser settings.

We will honor privacy rights required by applicable law.

12. State and Other Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights concerning their personal information under applicable state privacy laws. These rights vary by jurisdiction and may include rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of certain personal information or to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information.

Where applicable, you may exercise these rights by contacting us using the information below. We may take reasonable steps to verify a request before fulfilling it.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.

13. International Users

The Services are operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, information may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries in which our service providers operate.

Applicable privacy and data-protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Services, our practices, technology, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this Privacy Policy. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice when appropriate or required by law.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
