This Policy is part of and subject to the Terms of Use Agreement, as applicable.
This Policy applies solely to information collected by SportZwave.

A. Types of Information Collected
SportZwave may ask Users to provide certain types of personally identifying information upon use of certain services provided through the Site. The information collected will only be used by SportZwave for purposes of (a) exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations in accordance with the Terms of Use Agreement, and contacting Users in connection with the same; (b) tracking User behavior; (c) protecting SportZwave and its Users from fraud, error, and other criminal activities; (d) collecting internally demographic, marketing, and promotional information; (e) preventing illegal or inappropriate use of the Site; and (f) collecting fees owed to SportZwave. SportZwave will not collect personally identifiable information from Users who visit the Site but do not use any of the services provided through the Site.
At any time, Users may ask to review or update any of their maintained personally identifying information by contacting us at info@sportzwave.com, however, SportZwave does not represent or warrant that it shall maintain the personally identifiable information provided to it and may permanently delete or discard such personally identifiable information, in whole or in part, at any time. To protect the security and integrity of Users’ information, SportZwave will also take reasonable steps to verify Users’ identity before providing access or correction.
SportZwave may collect and store certain general, non-personally identifying demographic information, as well as information about use of the Site, including but not limited to volumes of sales and other transactions performed through the Site, types and categories of products sold, and information about how Users found out about SportZwave. SportZwave will use this information for marketing and promotional purposes only.
B. Cookies and Tracking
A cookie is a piece of data stored on your computer and tied to information about you. SportZwave may use "cookies" on certain pages of the Site to, among other things, help analyze our web page trends, measure effectiveness, and provide a personalized experience. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on the Site.
SportZwave does not own or operate any third-party websites that may be accessible through the Site. Some third-party websites may use cookies, log files, clear gifs, or other tracking methods on their own websites. SportZwave does not share in or have access to any of the cookies or other information gathered by third-party websites, and does not in any way limit the use of cookies, log files, clear gifs, or other tracking methods by third-party websites.
Advertisements appearing on the Site may be delivered to Users by third party advertising partners (the “Advertisers”). Information about Users’ visits to the SportZwave site, such as the number of times they have viewed an ad (but not their name, address, or other personal information) may be used to serve ads to Users on this site.
C. Log Files
SportZwave may log and use your I.P. (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks in order to analyze trends, administer the site, track Users’ movement in the aggregate, gather broad demographic information, and to help diagnose and maintain SportZwave servers. I.P. addresses are not linked to personally identifying information.
D. Clear Gifs
Advertisers may use a software technology commonly known as “clear gifs” or “web bugs” that assist in management of site content by providing information to the operator of the site regarding the effectiveness of content. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. The main difference between cookies and clear gifs is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and very small in size, about the size of a period at the end of a sentence.
Clear gifs can “work with” existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same website or advertising company, and therefore may be used to match a clear gif’s identifier with an advertiser’s cookie, which may or may not permit the website or advertising company to personally identify the User.
SportZwave does not use or originate its own clear gifs on any portion of the SportZwave website.
II. Information Protection and Security
SportZwave will take all reasonable measures in order to protect the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of all proprietary data under our control, including any personally identifying information. In the event that any personally identifying information is submitted to SportZwave, SportZwave may maintain all or some of the personally identifying information in a retrievable form and shall use all reasonable means to ensure that the information is protected both online and off-line. All proprietary information in SportZwave’s possession, including any and all User information, is restricted in SportZwave’s offices and is not publicly accessible, and all employees are kept up-to-date on SportZwave’s security and privacy practices; all such information stored in any remote location, such as on a remote server, is protected from unauthorized access by the use of passwords, encryption, and other commercially-available means of data security. Any time new privacy or security policies are added or modified, all employees are reminded of the importance that SportZwave places on User privacy and are required to familiarize themselves with the new policies.
III. Sharing
A. Personal Information
Though SportZwave is committed to preserving your privacy and does not disclose personally identifying information without your knowledge or consent, SportZwave may need to disclose certain information it has collected, including information gathered via log file, when required by law to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on SportZwave.

SportZwave may share aggregated, non-personally identifying demographic information with business partners and advertisers in order to provide products and services that are tailored to User interests. This information is not linked by SportZwave to any personally identifying information.

SportZwave may share Site usage and general demographic information with reputable third party advertisers for the purpose of providing targeted advertisements on the Site. Information shared and collected with third party advertisers is not personally identifying.
D. Business Transactions
In the event SportZwave goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, any and all information owned by SportZwave, in most instances, will be a portion of the assets transferred or sold. In such instances, you will be notified via e-mail or regular mail and, to the extent allowed by law, provided a meaningful opportunity to control the sharing of their information with any outside party.
