Privacy, affiliates, and how this site is funded.

Parent Coach Desk is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

When you click an Amazon link on this site and make a purchase, we earn a small commission. The price you pay does not change. We only recommend gear we would buy for our own kids.

Parent Coach Desk also participates in the CJ Affiliate network as a partner of SoccerGarage.com. When you click a SoccerGarage link on this site and make a purchase, we earn a commission. These links are marked inline with a "partner link" note.

Other non-Amazon links may also pay us a commission. Where that is the case the link is marked with a small note. Editorial recommendations are not influenced by commission rates.

We collect a small amount of data, only what we need to run the site and the newsletter.

1. Email addresses, when you sign up for the newsletter or download a PDF. Stored at our email provider, Kit. We use your email to send you the newsletter and the resources you asked for. Unsubscribe in any email and your address is removed.
2. Anonymous traffic data via Cloudflare Web Analytics. Page views, referrer, country. No cookies, no individual tracking, no advertising profiles.
3. Aggregate audience data via Google Analytics 4. We use it to understand which pieces are useful and where readers come from. IP addresses are anonymized. We do not enable Google Signals, advertising features, or remarketing. We do not share GA data with advertisers. Google Analytics is not loaded for visitors with Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control enabled, and not loaded at all for visitors in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland.
4. Submissions you send us, when you email a story or submit a camp. Used only to respond and to publish if you ask us to. Camp submissions include your email; we use it to follow up on the listing and nothing else.
5. Camp reviews, when you review a camp in the directory. We store your email (never published) and the display name you choose, which appears publicly with your review. Reviews are held for moderation before they appear.
6. Listing claims, when a camp operator claims a listing. We store the name, email, organization, and phone number provided, and use them only to verify and manage the claim.

We do not sell or share your email. We do not run third-party advertising trackers. We do not run remarketing or behavioral ads.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking site-wide by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by enabling "Do Not Track" / "Global Privacy Control" in your browser, which we honor automatically.

If you want your email removed, unsubscribe via the link in any newsletter or write to [email protected].

Your rights. Wherever you live, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email [email protected] and we will handle it within 30 days. We do not sell personal information and never have, so there is nothing to opt out of under the California Consumer Privacy Act's "do not sell or share" provisions.

Nothing on this site is medical advice. When a topic touches injury, concussion, mental health, or returning to play after a setback, follow the guidance of a clinician, your league's protocol, and the relevant national governing body. We link to authoritative sources where we can.
