Generally, we use cookies to store information about your preferences and activity during and after your visit to a website.

You also may provide information to be published or displayed on public areas of the Services, or transmitted to other users of the Services or third parties (collectively, “User Data”). User Data is posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk. Although we limit access to certain information, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of other users of the Services. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Data will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.
How We Collect & Use Information About You
We collect personally identifiable information, such as names and email address only when you provide it to us. If you do not wish for your personally identifiable information to be used or collected, please do not submit it to us. Do not submit personally identifiable information about others (for example, sports registrants) without their permission. Whether or not you choose to provide personal information is completely your own choice. But if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to use certain services, offers, and content on our Site, or that may be available by using the Services. Generally speaking, we use the information from and about you to: provide you with the all features and functions of the Site and the Services; communicate with you regarding our Services and/or events, opportunities or promotions that may be of interest to you; provide users with superior service and with information, opportunities and features targeted to your organization; provide all visitors a smooth, efficient, and personalized experience while using our Site and/or Services. We do not use your personal identifiable information to make automated decisions. As discussed above, our web servers may automatically collect non-personally identifiable information, including the web page from which a visitor enters our Site, which pages a visitor visits on our Site, and how much time a visitor spends on each page. We aggregate this information and use it to evaluate and improve our Site and Services and use the information for market research purposes, including for our third-party sponsors/partners. We may also use information for research purposes, to develop new products and services, to analyze customer behavior and to help us understand how visitors use our Site and Services and to measure interest in the various pages, to gather statistical information, improve the content of our Site, to make our Site easier to use, or to provide information and statistics to our sponsors/partner. Additionally, we may use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us in any other way we may describe when you provide the information, as well as for any other purposes with your consent.
Following termination or deactivation of an account, we may retain information and content for backup, archival, audit or other business purposes, or otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. We may maintain anonymized, de-identified or aggregated data, including usage data, for analytics purposes. If you have any questions about data retention or deletion, please e-mail privacy@sportsaac.com.
We do not explicitly transfer your personal information internationally. However, if you visit and interact with our Site from a non-US country, and you submit or retrieve personal information, as discussed above, this will constitute international transfer between you and our Site.
Security of your Personal Information
We use reasonable technological and physical safeguards to protect personally identifiable information you provide to us from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We urge you to keep any password for use of the Services and/or Site in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also, remember to sign off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit to the Site or your use of the Services.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through the Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.
