SIDEARM Sports Privacy Policy

Effective Date
May 25, 2018

We, SIDEARM Sports, explain in this policy how we collect, process, use, share, and
secure the information that we receive from users via our websites, mobile apps, and over email (together, the “SIDEARM Services”). This policy also explains your choices regarding the use of, access to, and correction of your personal information.

This policy only applies to information SIDEARM Sports itself collects through the SIDEARM Services. SIDEARM Sports develops and maintains websites and mobile apps for many different schools and conferences (our “clients”). This policy does not apply to how individual SIDEARM Sports clients may process, use, or share information they collect from the SIDEARM Services. SIDEARM Sports has no control over how its clients process, use, or share the information they collect via the SIDEARM Services.

By visiting or using any of the SIDEARM Services, you consent and agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use and acknowledge that you may be transferring your data to, and consent to having your data transferred to, and processed in, the United States. This Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time. Any such changes will be posted on this page. If we make a significant or material change in the way we use your personal information, the change will be posted on this page thirty (30) days prior to taking effect and registered users will be notified via email.

1. INFORMATION COLLECTION
SIDEARM Sports gathers the following types of information about users when they access and use SIDEARM Services.
A. Information you voluntarily provide. Certain of the SIDEARM Services we offer to our clients requires users to provide certain personal information. These services include:
Personalization of Platform Through User Preferences
Bidding or Purchasing Goods through Auctions or Storefronts
SMS or Email Registration
Signup for Paid Audio or Video Streaming
Surveys or Contests
Registration for Client Events such as Sports Camps
Signup for Clients’ “Kids Clubs” or Similar Programs
Your use of these features is voluntary, but if you do use one of these features, you consent to SIDEARM Services’ collection of the following information:
Account Set-Up Information: SIDEARM Sports will collect certain information to set up an account for you via one of our sites, such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number(s), and the username and password you create.
Credit Card/Payment Information: If you purchase an item via an auction or an online store or register for a camp using the SIDEARM services, SIDEARM Sports will collect certain information such as your credit card number and billing address to process that payment.
Sports or Athlete Interests: If you voluntarily register to personalize your use of the SIDEARM Services, including a website or a mobile app, then SIDEARM Sports may collect personal information such as specific sports or student athletes you wish to follow.
Social Media Information: If you use Facebook or another third party social network site to login to any SIDEARM Services, SIDEARM Sports will collect information that you chose to provide to us (for example your Facebook profile information). The information collected may depend on the privacy settings you have with the third-party site.
Certain Additional Information: SIDEARM Sports provides our clients with certain Services such as surveys or contests that may ask you certain questions to participate. Participation in these surveys and contests is voluntary.

B. Children’s Information. SIDEARM Sports offers certain Services to its clients specifically geared towards children. In accordance with COPPA, SIDEARM Sports does not knowingly collect or store any personal information about children under the age of 13, other than certain limited information provided by a child’s parent or authorized guardian, such as information provided to sign kids up for camps or clinics run by SIDEARM Sports clients or for a client sponsored Kids Club.
Kids Club Registrations: Some of SIDEARM Sports’ clients offer children under the age of 13 the opportunity to join “kids clubs” or similar programs to provide them with information about university athletics that is specifically geared towards children. Registration for these clubs requires that SIDEARM obtain certain personal information about participants. We do not collect personally identifiable information on our websites from children under the age of 13 without prior parental consent. We do not ask children to disclose more information than is necessary for them to participate in a particular activity, and we take steps to prevent children from disclosing more information than is necessary to participate in those activities.
Continuing Notification of Parents: For children under the age of 13, parents will initially provide certain personal information about or for their child; we will not collect it from the child directly. If a child under age 13 then participates in any ongoing activity that requires the collection, retention, and use of personal information in addition to what has already been provided or authorized by the parent, we will also ask for a parent’s e-mail address so that we can notify the parent that we have received personal information from their child and seek consent to retain this information. We do not knowingly collect names and e-mail addresses or other personally identifying information from children under age 13 for these types of activities without notifying the parent via e-mail and giving the parent the option to remove their child’s e-mail address from the applicable database for that activity.
Changes in Guidelines: These children’s guidelines have been developed with the recognition that Internet technology evolves rapidly and that underlying business models are still not established. Accordingly, guidelines are subject to change. In the unlikely event of such changes they will be posted on this page. If the changes represent a material departure from our current practice with respect to the use of children’s personal information, the changes will be posted on this page thirty (30) days prior to taking effect and will not affect children’s personal information previously collected.

C. Information Collected From You Automatically. SIDEARM Sports uses various Internet technologies to manage and track use of the SIDEARM Services. Non-personal information that we collect using these technologies may be combined with the personal information that you may voluntarily provide us when using certain specific services.
Device Information: We may collect non-personal information about the computer, mobile device, or other device you use to access the SIDEARM Services, such as your computer’s unique IP address, geolocation information, unique device identifiers, browser type, browser language and other transactional information.
Cookies, Beacons, Local Storage and Other Similar Technologies: SIDEARM Sports uses “cookies,” Web beacons, HTML5 local storage, and other similar technologies. These technologies allow us to manage access to and use of the SIDEARM Services, recognize users and provide personalization, and help us to understand how users engaged with the SIDEARM Services. You will not be able to access certain areas of our websites if your computer does not accept cookies from us. We do not respond to browser-based “do not track” signals.
Analytics Technologies: We have engaged with a third-party service called Google Analytics to provide us information, reports, and analysis about the usage, browsing patterns of users of the SIDEARM Services. Google Analytics tracks and analyzes non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers on our websites. All data collected by Google Analytics on our behalf is owned and used by us. For more information about how Google Analytics collects data, please read their privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en .
Location Information: Some of our mobile applications can deliver content based on your current location if you choose to enable that feature of the app. If you enable the location-based feature, your current location will be stored locally on your device, which will then be used by the app. If you elect to have a location-based search saved to your history, we will store that information on our servers. If you do not enable the location-based service, or if an app does not have that feature, the app will not transmit to us, and we will not collect or store location information.
Email Tracking Pixels: SIDEARM Sports may use a function in HTML emails to track which users open emails and which links they click.
Ads Within Our Apps: The ads you see may be targeted to you based on your current GPS location, proximity of your device to an active beacon or low-energy blue-tooth transmitter, your device’s IP address or ZIP code, and user provided location information such as seat location. Some mobile applications promoted through the SIDEARM Services may be links to third-party services. Such services shall be governed by their own privacy policy.

D. Information Collected by Third Parties Some of the services and advertisements included in the SIDEARM Services, including on the websites we create and maintain for our clients and within our mobile apps, are delivered or served by third-party companies. These companies may place or recognize cookies, Web beacons, or other technology to track certain non-personal information about our website users. For example, an advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to collect certain information about your use of the SIDEARM Services. In many cases, this information could be used to show you ads on other websites based on your interests.

We do not have access to, nor control over, advertisers’ or service providers’ use of cookies or other tracking technologies or how they may be used.
Your access to SIDEARM Sports websites should not be affected if you do not accept cookies served by third parties. Some of the ad servers and ad networks may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies. If you opt out of receiving targeted ads from ad servers and ad networks on our websites, you will continue to receive advertising and promotional messages, but they will not be customized or personalized to you based on your use of our websites and/or third party websites.

If you would like more information about advertisers’ use of tracking technologies and your option to not accept these cookies, you can go to www.networkadvertising.org.
