We do not sell your personal information. We may share it in the following limited circumstances:

• With partner universities, clubs, academies, and development programs, for the purpose of evaluating and placing you in an appropriate opportunity and only with your knowledge and consent
• With trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website or communications, under strict confidentiality obligation
• When required by law, regulation, or legal process
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of CMI-COMM, our users, or the public

Any institution we share your profile with has been vetted by our team and is part of our verified network.

4. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. If your application is unsuccessful or you request deletion, we will remove your personal data from our active systems within a reasonable timeframe, unless we are legally required to retain it.

5. Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and remember your preferences. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the website.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@cmiglobalathletics.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for individuals who are at least 16 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without verifiable parental or guardian consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

9. International Data Transfers

Because we facilitate placements in Japan and the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in those countries. By submitting your information, you acknowledge that it may be transferred across borders, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
