Effective August 25, 2010:
Gnome Enterpreises LLC d/b/a iSportCentral (“iSportCentral” or “we”) operates iSportCentral.com. This Privacy Policy describes iSportCentral’s use and sharing of personally identifiable information (“PII”-- your full name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, or other such information) that registered users voluntarily provide to iSportCentral when they register (also known as “Registration PII”). The Term “User” refers to a Visitor or a Member. This Privacy Policy applies to the services offered by iSportCentral, including any iSportCentral-branded URL (the “iSportCentral Website).
The iSportCentral Website is a general audience site and does not knowingly collect PII from children under 13 years of age.
From time to time iSportCentral may modify this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our PII collection and use practices, the features of the iSportCentral Services, or technology, and such modifications shall be effective upon posting by iSportCentral on the iSportCentral Website. Your continued use of the iSportCentral Services after iSportCentral posts a revised Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. It is therefore important that you review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes.
COLLECTION AND SUBMISSION OF PII AND NON-PII ON iSportCentral
When iSportCentral collects PII from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting Registration PII to us in order to register as a Member of iSportCentral. iSportCentral may also collect PII from you if you choose to participate in iSportCentral Services activities like sweepstakes, contests, and surveys, because you want us to furnish you with products, services, newsletters, or information, or in connection with content or suggestions you submit to iSportCentral for review.
In addition, iSportCentral collects other non-PII including IP address, aggregate user data, and browser type. This data is used to manage and improve the iSportCentral Services, track usage, and for security purposes.
iSportCentral Members may also choose to provide or store non-PII information in their profiles, including but not limited to date of birth, interests, hobbies, groups, teams, organizations or leagues with whom they are affiliated (schools, companies), videos and/or pictures, private messages, bulletins or personal statements (collectively “Profile Information”). The Profile Information in a Member’s profile is provided at his or her sole discretion.
iSportCentral Members can change their Registration PII and Profile Information at any time and can control how Visitors, other Members and iSportCentral communicate with them by controlling their account settings, available within the “Edit Profile” portion of their iSportCentral profile.
Cookies are small bits of information that iSportCentral places on your computer. iSportCentral uses cookies to identify your Internet browser, store Users’ preferences, and determine whether you have installed the enabling software needed to access certain material on the iSportCentral Services. Data in cookies may be read to authenticate user sessions or provide services.
Third party advertisements displayed on iSportCentral Services may also contain cookies set by Internet advertising companies or advertisers (known as “third party cookies”). iSportCentral does not control these third party cookies and Users of the iSportCentral Services should check the privacy policy of the Internet advertising company or advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies. A pixel tag is a tiny image inserted in a webpage and used to record the number and types of views for that page. iSportCentral may allow third party pixel tags to be present on iSportCentral Services for purposes of advertising, providing services or data and statistics collection.
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent, block third party cookies or block all cookies. However, by blocking all cookies you may not have access to certain features on the iSportCentral Services.
iSportCentral Services may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies. iSportCentral Services may also carry advertisements from other companies. iSportCentral is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or other services operated by third parties that are linked to or integrated with the iSportCentral Services or for the privacy practices of third party Internet advertising companies. Once you leave iSportCentral Services via such a link, access a third party application (such as widgets) or click on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine, among other things, how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
Some of the advertisements that appear on iSportCentral Services may also be delivered to you by third party Internet advertising companies. These companies utilize certain technologies to deliver advertisements and marketing messages and to collect non-PII about your visit to or use of iSportCentral Services, including information about the ads they display, via a cookie placed on your computer that reads your IP address.
CHOICE: iSportCentral WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE USE OF YOUR PII
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, iSportCentral will get your permission before we use the PII you provide to us in a way that is inconsistent with the purpose for which it was submitted or share your PII with third parties that are not affiliated with iSportCentral.
USE: iSportCentral'S USE OF PII
iSportCentral will only use the PII you provide under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If iSportCentral obtains PII from a third party, such as a business partner, our use of that information is also governed by this Privacy Policy.
In order to locate other iSportCentral Members that you may already know in the physical world, iSportCentral allows Users to search for Members using Registration PII (i.e., full name or email address). iSportCentral also allows Users to browse for certain Profile Information in order to help connect with Members (i.e., schools and/or teams on which Users may have played or participated). iSportCentral may also enable Members to publicly display some Registration PII as an element of their Profile Information if they choose to do so via a profile setting under “Edit Profile.” Search engines may index the portion of a Member’s profile (including the Profile Information it contains) that is publicly displayed.
If you have consented to receive promotional materials (e.g., newsletters) or notifications from iSportCentral, iSportCentral may periodically use your email address to send you such materials related to the iSportCentral Services, as applicable. If you want to stop receiving such materials from iSportCentral, you can follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
iSportCentral may customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on the iSportCentral Website, or may work with outside companies to do so. Your non-PII and/or Profile Information may be shared with these companies so this customization can be accomplished. iSportCentral prohibits these companies from sharing your non-PII and/or Profile Information with any third party or from using it for any other purpose. Anonymous click stream, number of page views calculated by pixel tags, and aggregated demographic information may also be shared with iSportCentral’s advertisers and business partners.
There may be instances when iSportCentral may access or disclose PII, Profile Information or non-PII without providing you a choice in order to: (i) protect or defend the legal rights or property of iSportCentral, our Affiliated Companies or their employees, agents and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements); (ii) protect the safety and security of Users of the SportCentral Services or members of the public including acting in urgent circumstances; (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or (iv) comply with the law or legal process. In addition, if iSportCentral sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of all or a material part of its assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of all or a material part of its business, iSportCentral may transfer your PII to the party or parties involved in the transaction as part of that transaction.
SECURITY: iSportCentral PROTECTS THE SECURITY OF PII
iSportCentral uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard PII and credit card information in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. In addition, iSportCentral uses reasonable methods to make sure that PII is accurate, up-to-date and appropriately complete.
ACCESS, REMEDIES AND COMPLIANCE: HOW TO ACCESS, CORRECT OR CHANGE YOUR PREFERENCES REGARDING YOUR PII AND HOW TO CONTACT iSportCentral ABOUT PRIVACY CONCERNS
Whenever possible, iSportCentral Members may review the Registration PII we maintain about them in our records. We will take reasonable steps to correct any PII a Member informs us is incorrect. If you are a Member, you can view and change your Registration PII, Member preferences and Profile Information by logging into your account and accessing features such as “Edit Profile” and “Privacy Options.”
