A. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

Camp S.W.A.G. is a leadership organization focused on teens. We are strongly committed to protecting the privacy of young people and all our users. We strive to present this policy using plain, straightforward language that is easy for teens and parents to understand.

Refers to any information that can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains, including, but not limited to, name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, financial profile, social security number, and credit card information.

No Sale of Personal Information

Camp S.W.A.G. does not sell personal information. We do not exchange personal data for money, marketing access, or cross‑context behavioral advertising. Any information shared with service providers is used only to operate our programs, process payments, or support essential services, and those providers are contractually prohibited from selling or using your information for their own purposes.

We may collect basic user profile information from all of our Visitors. We collect the following additional information from our Authorized Customers: the name, email address, phone number, address, and social media profile information.
