Collection of Non-Personal Information

We may collect non-personal/generic information from our users through cookies, IP addresses/log files and clear GIFs.

Cookies: We do employ cookies. A cookie is a small line of text that is stored with your Web browser for record-keeping purposes and to help us provide better service to you. For example, cookies enable PlaySportsTV.com to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it every time you visit our site, and to deliver customized content and services to users. You can reset your Web browser to refuse cookies or to let you know when one is being sent, but some of the features on PlaySportsTV.com may not work properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

IP Addresses/Log Files: All communication on the Internet takes place between pairs of IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Our Web servers will automatically log the IP address that any connection is made from, as well as other information such as the browser type and language, landing pages, domain names, number of clicks, pages viewed, the time you spent on particular pages and the date and time of your request. We may use these IP addresses and log file data to help diagnose technical problems or to prevent abuse of our systems from other site users.

Clear GIFs: A clear GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an object that is embedded in a Web page or e-mail and is usually invisible to the user but can collect information/usage patterns about a visit to a particular Web site. This is also referred to as a Web beacon or Web bug. Clear GIFs may also be used in e-mails, such as e-mail newsletters sent to users who've requested them to track if the e-mails are opened.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these Web sites, and we encourage all users to review these sites' privacy policies carefully. Our site may also link to Web sites that feature our trademarks and names along with trademarks and names of these other companies. You should carefully review the privacy policies of such co-branded sites, as these may not be under our control.

Information Sharing

PlaySportsTV.com will not share your personally identifiable information with third parties, except (1) when you have given us permission to do so (opted-in to such sharing), (2) if required to do so by law or as part of a legal action, (3) to protect our rights or property, (4) with other people or companies with whom we contract to perform services for us, such as internal site operations or business activities, (5) in an emergency to protect someone's safety, (6) with third parties with whom we have a marketing relationship or similar arrangement, and (7) in the event that PlaySportsTV.com is acquired by another company, your personal information may be part of the assets transferred to the acquiring party.

Data Security

PlaySportsTV.com has reasonable security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information (both personal and non-personal) under our control. These include a firewall to prevent unauthorized access to our systems and site encryption technology for registration information in a separate database. Although we will exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of information between your computer and our servers, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet and we accept no liability for any unintentional disclosure. Whenever personal information that we collect is passed on to other companies, we require that they have appropriate safeguards to protect this information in place. However, we cannot guarantee that they do so. Nor can we guarantee that any information you send to us will not be hacked into or otherwise compromised without authorization. In the event of such compromise, we will use reasonable efforts to inform our users.
