  • Legal, safety, or regulatory authorities when required by law or necessary to protect the safety of participants, guests, staff, volunteers, or the public

Third-party providers are expected to use personal information only for the services they provide to us.

Payments and Third-Party Services

If payments, registrations, donations, or bookings are processed through third-party platforms, those services may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. Bridgeport Camp and Conference Center is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or platforms.
