What personal information does Scoreline.net
collect from me?
Scoreline.net collects information in several ways from different parts of our
network of web sites.
Some personal information is gathered when you register. During
registration, Scoreline.net asks for your name, email address, birth date, and gender. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Once
you register you are no longer anonymous to Scoreline.net - you are given a Scoreline.net ID and are able to take full advantage of Scoreline.net's many features.
In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at
other times, including (but not limited to) when you contact Scoreline.net. We may keep a
record of that correspondence. Scoreline.net also occasionally asks users to
complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever Scoreline.net
collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this
Privacy Policy on that page.
What are cookies and how does Scoreline.net use
them?
As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services,
Scoreline.net uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about
you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from
a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. All sites on
Scoreline.net where you are prompted to log-in or that are customizable require
that you accept cookies.
How does Scoreline.net use my information?
Scoreline.net's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide
you, the user, with a customized experience. In order to provide services free of charge, we display
advertisements. By knowing a little about you, Scoreline.net is able to deliver
more relevant advertisements and content, and hence better service, to
you.
In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, Scoreline.net plays the
middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of
audience they want to reach (for example, males over 30 years old). Scoreline.net
takes the advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criteria. In
this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account
information. Only Scoreline.net has access to individuals' accounts. This kind
of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional
email through Scoreline.net Delivers. You will only receive special offers via
email from Scoreline.net if you have indicated in your account preferences that
you would like to receive them. You can change your account preferences
at any time.
Scoreline.net does research on our users' demographics, interests, and
behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during
a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. Scoreline.net may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.
Who is collecting information?
When you are on a Scoreline.net site and are asked for personal information, you
are sharing that information with Scoreline.net alone, unless it is specifically
stated otherwise.
Promotions that run on Scoreline.net may be sponsored by companies other than
Scoreline.net or may be cosponsored by Scoreline.net and another company. Some or all
data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. If data
will be shared, you will be notified prior to the time of data collection
or transfer. You can decide not to participate in the promotion if you
don't want your data to be shared. Currently, most Scoreline.net promotions are
limited to US or North American residents.
Please be aware that Scoreline.net advertisers or web sites that have links on
our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The
information practices of those web sites linked to Scoreline.net are not covered
by this privacy statement.
With whom does Scoreline.net share my information?
As a general rule, Scoreline.net will not disclose any of your personally
identifiable information except when we have your permission or under
special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it or under the circumstances described below. Please see the
Terms of Service or Use Agreements for each of our products and services
for more detailed information about how your personal information may be
shared. The following describes some of the ways that your information
may be disclosed.
Other: Scoreline.net may also disclose account information in special
cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who
may be violating Scoreline.net's Terms of Service or may be causing injury to or
interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Scoreline.net's
rights or property, other Scoreline.net users, or anyone else that could be
harmed by such activities. Scoreline.net may disclose or access account
information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for
administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain,
service, and improve our products and services.
What are my choices regarding collection, use, and
distribution of my information?
Scoreline.net may, from time to time, send you email regarding our products and
services. In addition, if you indicated upon registration that you are
interested in receiving offers or information from Scoreline.net and our
partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and
services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only Scoreline.net (or agents
working on behalf of Scoreline.net and under confidentiality agreements) will
send you these direct mailings and only if you indicated that you do not
object to these offers. If you do not want to receive such mailings,
simply tell us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any
time you can easily edit your Scoreline.net Account Information to no longer receive such offers and mailings. You will
need your Scoreline.net ID and Password in order to access your Scoreline.net
Account Information.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser
preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified
when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject
all cookies you will be unable to use those Scoreline.net services that require
registration in order to participate.
Scoreline.net does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify
you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared
with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting
the transfer. If you do not wish to allow your data to be shared, you can
choose not to use a particular service or not to participate in certain
promotions or contests.
What is Scoreline.net's policy on allowing me to update,
correct, or delete my personally identifiable information?
You may edit your Scoreline.net Account Information at
any time by using your Scoreline.net ID and password. For all other problems signing in to
Scoreline.net,
please read the "Instructions" link on the main page or send us an email at webmaster@Scoreline.net
Your Scoreline.net account can be deleted or deactivated, but doing so will
result in not being able to access any members-only area of the Scoreline.net
network, including your Scoreline.net calendar (if you have one). If you
saved the confirmation email you received when you first created your
Scoreline.net account, you can use the URL provided in that message to delete
your account at any time. Please contact webmaster@Scoreline.net
for further instructions about deleting or deactivating your Scoreline.net
account.
How does Scoreline.net protect my personal information?
Keeping your personal financial and health-related information private is
vitally important to us. As with all information, Scoreline.net will never rent
or sell your personal information. This
includes information kept in your Scoreline.net calendar or from any Scoreline.net product.
Knowing that you use certain services or features may help us to offer you
better and more relevant content and advertisements. But as with all
personally identifiable information, we do not make this available to any
third parties without your permission. Any user statistics that we may
provide to prospective advertisers or partners regarding financial product
or service usage on Scoreline.net are provided in the aggregate only and do not
include any personally identifiable information about any individual user.
What security precautions are in place to
protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of my information?
Your Scoreline.net Account Information and Scoreline.net Profile are password-protected
so that you and only you have access to this personal information. You
may edit your Scoreline.net Account Information by using your Scoreline.net ID and password.
We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Scoreline.net will
never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an
unsolicited email. Also remember to sign out of your Scoreline.net account and
close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to
ensure that others cannot access your personal information and
correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a
computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
As a global company Scoreline.net has international sites and users all over the
world. When you give Scoreline.net personal information, that information may be
sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally
entered the information, such as to the United States or other countries.
In addition, that information may be used, stored and processed outside of
the country where you entered that information. Whenever Scoreline.net handles
personal information as described above, regardless of where this occurs,
Scoreline.net takes steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and
in accordance with the relevant Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to
be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information, Scoreline.net cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us or from our online products or services,
and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we
make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
What about children's privacy?
Naturally, the safety of children is very important to us.
Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal
information to anyone online. Scoreline.net does not share personal information
about users under the age of 13 with third parties and we do not sell or
rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In
addition, Scoreline.net will not send any direct email offers to users who
indicate they are under the age of 13.
What else should I know about my privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal
information online - for example on message boards, through email, or in
chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In
short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the
public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your
passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and
responsible whenever you're online.
