PRIVACY POLICY
We
have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to
privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how
SportsConnex.com collects information from all end users of
SportsConnex.com's Internet and web hosting services (the
"Services")-those who access some of our Services but do not have
accounts ("Visitors") as well as those who pay a service fee to
subscribe to the Service ("Members")-what we do with the information we
collect, and the choices Visitors and Members have concerning the
collection and use of such information. SportsConnex.com requests that
you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information SportsConnex.com Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction. SportsConnex.com collects information in different ways
from Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Services
and the network of Web sites accessible through our Service. We use
this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you
use our Services and, generally, do not share this information with
third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected
if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special
circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required
by law or other special cases described below.
Registration.
Members are asked to provide certain personal information when they
sign up for our Services including name, address, telephone number,
billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of
personal computer being used to access the Services. The personal
information collected from Members during the registration process is
used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes).
This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically
stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances
where SportsConnex.com and a partner jointly promote the Services,
SportsConnex.com may provide the partner certain personal information,
such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to
the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of
allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In
this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for
any other purpose. SportsConnex.com may also generate non-identifying
and aggregate profiles from personal information Members provide during
registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Members).
As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the
Services.
SportsConnex.com Partners and Sponsors.
Some SportsConnex.com products and services are offered to Visitors and
Members in conjunction with a non-affiliated partner. To provide
Visitors and Members some of these products and services, the partner
may need to collect and maintain personal information. SportsConnex.com
will share nonidentifying and aggregate information (except as
described above), but not personal information, with such partners in
order to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
Online Advertisements.
From time to time, SportsConnex.com may display online advertisements.
We share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors
and Members collected through the registration process as well as
through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements. For
instance, an advertiser tells us the audience they want to reach (for
example, males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provides us an
advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and
non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display the
advertisement to the intended audience. SportsConnex.com does not share
personal information about its Visitors or Members with these
advertisers.
Responses to Email Inquiries.
When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to SportsConnex.com, the
return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive.
SportsConnex.com does not use the return email address for any other
purpose and does not share the return email address with any third
party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys. We
may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys.
We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they
provide us with important information that helps us to improve the
types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your
personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential,
even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our
customer surveys is voluntary.
We take the
information we receive from individuals responding to our Customer
Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other
SportsConnex.com customers to create broader, generic responses to the
survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education,
employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then
use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services
to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated,
non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases.
It is SportsConnex.com's policy not to use or share the personal
information about Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the ones
described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or
otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, SportsConnex.com may
disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or information
regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our
Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it
is reasonable to do so, including: to satisfy laws, such as the
Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or
legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is
necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone
who may be violating our Terms of Service or other user policies; to
operate the Services properly; or to protect SportsConnex.com and our
Members.
"Cookies" and How SportsConnex.com Uses Them.
A "cookie" is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive
when you visit certain Web sites. SportsConnex.com may use cookies to
collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical
purposes to improve the products and services we provide and to manage
our telecommunications networks. If you are a Member, we will use a
cookie to save your settings and to provide customizable and
personalized services. These cookies do not enable third parties to
access any of your customer information. Additionally, be aware that if
you visit non-ReadyHosting.com Web sites where you are prompted to log
in or that are customizable, you may be required to accept cookies.
Advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies. We do not
control use of these cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for
information collected through them.
SportsConnex.com recommends that children ask a parent for permission
before sending personal information to SportsConnex.com, or to anyone
else online.
Public Forums.
Please remember that any information you may disclose in public areas
of our Web sites or the Internet, becomes public information. You
should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information
in these public areas.
SportsConnex.com's Commitment to Data Security.
Services and Web sites we sponsor or host have security measures in
place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information
under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity
and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our
security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally
obtaining this information.
