8. Children’s Privacy
MJ Rise may provide programs, events, educational opportunities, or activities involving children and teenagers.
When information about a minor is required for participation in one of our programs or events, we encourage a parent or legal guardian to provide the information on the minor’s behalf.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental or legal guardian consent.

MJ Rise may photograph or record programs, tournaments, community events, or other activities.
Where appropriate, separate permission, consent, or media-release procedures may apply, particularly when children or minors participate.

10. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
