Or, you may be the parent, legal guardian or representative (e.g. coach, teacher) of an individual interested in an event. In this Privacy Policy we may refer to you as "you" or "your". We may also refer to you, your dependent, or the individual you represent as the "Registrant", "Consumer", "Participant", “Athlete”, or "User".
The event creators and directors using the Services for their events are referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Event Organizers". Coaches and evaluators who utilize the Ryzer Connect ("Connect") Services to discover and evaluate Athletes are referred to as “Coaches” or “Recruiters”.

Any information that does not relate to a person and/or cannot be used to identify a person is referred to as "Non-Personal Data" in this Privacy Policy. When you use or interact with our Services, we may collect Non-Personal Data.
