Questions? Contact us at privacy@sortedsummer.com

Account information

When you create an account we collect your name, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash). We also store the date and time you accepted our Terms of Service.

Children's information

When you add a child profile, we collect the child's first name, date of birth, school district, gender (optional), and interests (optional). This information is provided by you as the parent or guardian and is used solely to personalize camp recommendations and help you plan your family's summer schedule.

We do not collect children's email addresses, phone numbers, or any contact information for children.

Usage information

We collect information about how you use the Service, including pages visited, camps viewed, sessions saved, and features used. This helps us improve the platform.

Device and technical information

We automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system when you use the Service. This is standard for all web services and is used for security and analytics.

Guest usage

If you use the Service without creating an account, we store your saved sessions and children's information locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device until you create an account, at which point it is transferred to our servers with your consent.

Sorted Summer takes children's privacy seriously and fully complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

• No direct collection from children. Children under 13 do not create accounts or directly interact with our Service. All child information is provided by parents or guardians.
• Parental consent. By creating an account and adding a child profile, you as the parent or guardian consent to the collection and use of your child's information as described in this policy.
• Limited data. We collect only the minimum information needed to provide the Service — name, date of birth, school district, and optional interests.
• No advertising. We do not use children's information for advertising purposes or share it with advertising networks.
• Parental rights. You may review, update, or delete your child's information at any time through the Family section of your account or by contacting us at privacy@sortedsummer.com.
• No sale of children's data. We never sell children's personal information to any third party under any circumstances.

If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without parental consent, please contact us immediately at privacy@sortedsummer.com and we will delete it promptly.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve the Sorted Summer platform
• Personalize camp recommendations based on your children's ages and interests
• Display your family's summer schedule and coverage
• Send account-related emails such as email confirmation and password reset
• Send optional post-summer emails asking you to review camps your children attended
• Analyze usage patterns to improve the platform
• Protect against fraud and abuse

We do not use your information or your children's information for targeted advertising. We do not sell your data to third parties.

We share your information only in these limited circumstances:

Service providers

We use trusted third-party services to operate the platform including Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), and Stripe (payment processing if applicable). These providers are contractually required to keep your information confidential and use it only to provide services to us.

Camp providers

If you book or inquire about a camp through our platform, we may share your contact information with that camp for the purpose of completing your registration. We do not share your children's information with camps without your explicit action.

Legal requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Sorted Summer, our users, or the public.

Business transfers

If Sorted Summer is acquired or merges with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information is subject to a different privacy policy.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse including:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS)
• Secure password hashing — we never store passwords in plain text
• Row-level security on our database — users can only access their own data
• Regular security reviews

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@sortedsummer.com.

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

Children's profile information is deleted immediately when you remove a child from your account or when you delete your account.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you and your children
• Correct inaccurate information through your account settings
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Export your data by contacting us at privacy@sortedsummer.com
• Opt out of non-essential emails by contacting us

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@sortedsummer.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Sorted Summer uses essential cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your session. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

We may use analytics tools to understand how the platform is used in aggregate. This data is anonymized and not tied to individual users.

Our platform links to camp websites and other third-party sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice on the platform. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
