We do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We may share your data with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting the Services, fulfilling orders, managing databases, performing analyses, processing payments, providing customer service, or sending communications. We may also share information with third-party platforms, like social networking sites for tailored communications. These service providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide their services to us.

Select Business Partners: We may share your information with select business partners to offer you special promotions, offers or materials of interest. For example, you may have the option to share information with third-party partners when entering contests or receiving marketing offers. We take steps to ensure our partners protect your information, but we are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Third-Party Ad Serving and Measurement: We may use third parties for ad serving and traffic measurement, such as Google Analytics. These parties may use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies to collect information about your online activities across different sites. This data helps us with traffic analysis, research and analytics.

Interactive Features: When you post information to user profiles or public areas of our Services (e.g., chat rooms, forums, blogs), it becomes publicly accessible. Exercise caution when using these features, as we cannot control how others may use this information.
With Your Consent: We may share your data for other purposes as disclosed at the time of collection, when you provide consent or as directed by you.
Aggregate Information: We may share aggregated, pseudonymized or anonymized data, such as demographic or usage statistics with third parties.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to provide the Services and collect data. Third parties may also use Tracking Technologies when you use the Services; for example, if a third party operates the Services or if the Services contain content or advertisements delivered by third parties such as our marketing partners and affiliates. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis. These Tracking Technologies include:

Cookies: Small text files unique to your device or browser. They can be session-based (lasting only while your browser is open) or persistent (lasting until deletion or expiration). They identify your browser to the Services whenever your device is used to visit the Services.
Locally Shared Objects (LSOs): Commonly called “Flash Cookies,” LSOs are similar to standard cookies but can be larger and are downloaded by the Adobe Flash media player. Controlling LSOs may require additional steps beyond changing your browser settings, such as using Adobe’s Setting Manager page.
Web Beacons: Also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs,” these small pieces of code are placed on a Service to collect data about users visiting a webpage, such as the existence of cookies, the time and date a page is viewed and a description of the page.
Software Development Kits (SDKs): Bits of code used by mobile app developers to enable or enhance features of a mobile app, such as displaying advertisements, collecting data and performing analytics.

We use Tracking Technologies for the following purposes:

Sign-In/Authentication: To store your sign-in information, remember your preferences and provide a tailored experience without requiring you to sign in on each page or each visit
Fraud Detection: To detect and prevent abuse of the Services, including unauthorized access attempts
Usage and Performance Data: To gather data about the Services’ usage and performance, including counting unique visitors, gathering demographic information and analyzing trends
Ad Tracking: To track how many users have seen or clicked on an advertisement, determine which ad campaigns are effective and limit the number of times the same ad is shown to a user
Interest-Based Advertising: To collect information about your interests and deliver advertising relevant to those interests
Tailored Services: To collect information about how you use the Services and tailor your experience based on your interests

In some cases, we may work with third parties (such as third-party operators of the Services) to synchronize our unique, anonymous identifiers (such as those associated with Tracking Technologies) with the third party’s identifiers. This enables us to better achieve the purposes described above.

Managing Tracking Technologies

By using the Services, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies. You can decide if and how your computer will accept a cookie by configuring your preferences or options in your browser. However, if you choose to reject cookies and similar technologies, you may not be able to use certain online products, services or features on the Services.

We may use LSOs to store content information and preferences. We may partner with third parties to provide certain features on our Services or to display advertising based on your web browsing activity, and these third parties may also use LSOs to collect and store information. Various browsers may offer management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs.

We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone and provide enhanced services to you. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We will link the information we store within the analytics software to personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile application to provide enhanced services to you, such as special offers and a tailored fan experience.

You may opt out of interest-based advertising from companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative by visiting those organizations’ websites.

5. Third-Party Services

The services may contain links to other websites or online services that are operated and maintained by third parties and that are not under the control of or maintained by us. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by us of those other websites, the content displayed therein, or the persons or entities associated therewith. This Privacy Policy does not apply to this third-party content. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites or services.

We work with certain third-party social media providers to offer you their social networking services through our Services. For example, you can use third-party social networking services, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, to share information about your experience on our Services with your friends and social media followers. Our Sites may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, Widgets, Share button, or interactive mini-programs. These social networking services may be able to collect information about you, including your activity on our Services. These third-party social networking services also may notify your friends, both on our Services and on the social networking services themselves, that you are a user of our Services or about your use of our Services, in accordance with applicable law and their privacy policies. If you choose to access or make use of third-party social networking services, we may receive information about you that you have made available to those social networking services, including information about your contacts on those social networking services.

You also may be able to link an account from a social networking service to an account through our Services. This may allow you to use your credentials from the other site or service to sign in to certain features on our Services. If you link your account to a third-party site or service, we may collect information from those third-party accounts, and any information that we collect will be governed by this Privacy Policy.

SMS/Mobile

Mobile information will not be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with third parties.

7. Children’s Rights

The Services do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13, except as permitted by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). If we are made aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 years old in a manner that is inconsistent with COPPA, we will delete this information as soon as possible.

8. Data Retention and Security

We implement robust security measures to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. Your data is stored on secure systems with restricted access and maintained in controlled environments. We use industry-standard security protocols for processing payments and require our vendors to do the same. However, no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed 100% secure. While we strive to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee its complete security and are not responsible for any theft, destruction or inadvertent disclosure.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including compliance with legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and the duration of your use of our Services. This retention period is influenced by factors such as applicable statutes of limitations and legal requirements.

By continuing to use our services after changes are made, you accept the updated Privacy Policy. At our discretion, we may also notify you by email at the address specified in your account.
