If we discover that information has been collected contrary to applicable requirements, we will take appropriate steps to address it.
Youth Photos and Videos
Images or recordings of minors will be handled according to applicable privacy requirements and approved media consent procedures.

14. International Operations and Data Transfers
The Wisdom Cup is being developed as a multi-territory program.
Our initial planned territories include the United States and Jamaica, with potential expansion into additional countries and regions.
Personal information may be processed or accessed in different jurisdictions where legally permitted and operationally necessary.
WisdomPhilanthropy will assess applicable data protection requirements before launching services in additional territories.
United States
Personal information will be handled in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy, consumer protection, and child protection laws.
Jamaica
When Wisdom Cup activities commence in Jamaica, relevant personal information processing will be assessed under Jamaica's Data Protection Act and other applicable requirements.
Future Territories
Before operating in additional jurisdictions, we will review local privacy obligations, consent requirements, international transfer restrictions, and participant protection standards.
A territory being listed on the website does not mean personal data collection or tournament registration is active there.
15. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Wisdom Cup website may link to external websites operated by sponsors, sporting organizations, community partners, or service providers.
These websites operate independently and may have their own privacy policies and security practices.
WisdomPhilanthropy is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.
We encourage visitors to review their policies before submitting personal information.
16. Privacy and Participant Protection
Privacy and participant safety are closely connected.
In certain circumstances, we may need to process or disclose information to protect individuals from abuse, exploitation, serious harm, or other safety threats.
Such actions will be guided by applicable law, safeguarding responsibilities, and appropriate confidentiality procedures.
For further information, please review our Participant Protection Policy.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the program develops, new website features are introduced, or legal requirements change.
