Personal Information

 

Non-Account Activity. You can watch videos on Sportwanted without having a Sportwanted Account. You can also contact us about a particular video without having a Sportwanted Account.

 

Account-Related Activity. Certain other activities on Sportwanted—like uploading videos, posting comments, flagging videos or watching restricted videos—require you to have a Sportwanted. We ask for some personal information when you create a Sportwanted, including your email address and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorised access.

 

Usage Information. We may record information about your usage, such as when you use Sportwanted, the channels, groups and favourites you subscribe to, the contacts you communicate with, the videos you watch and the frequency and size of data transfers, as well as information you display or click on in Sportwanted (including UI elements, settings and other information). If you are logged in, we may associate that information with your account. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. \\\"Web Beacons\\\") in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.

 

Content Uploaded to Site. Any personal information or video content that you voluntarily disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, within your playback or profile pages, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others.

 

Uses

 

If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the Sportwanted Sites, we use your personal information to operate, maintain and provide to you the general and personalised features and functionality of the Sportwanted Sites and to process any flagging activity or correspondence you send to us.

 

Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other users when you upload videos or send messages through the Sportwanted video portal and other users can contact you through messages and comments. Any videos that you submit to the Sportwanted Sites may be redistributed through the Internet and other media channels and may be viewed by the general public. If you have enabled Active Sharing, other users may see that you, as identified by your account name (not your email address), are watching the same video.

 

We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent or except as part of a specific programme or feature for which you will have the ability to opt in or opt out. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major  Sportwanted Site changes or for customer service purposes).

 

We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous user usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the Sportwanted Sites and to create new features, promotions, functionality and services by storing, tracking, analysing and processing user preferences and trends, as well as user activity and communications.

 

We use cookies, clear gifs and log file information to: (a) store information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the YouTube Sites; (b) provide custom, personalised content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries, submissions and status in promotions, sweepstakes and contests. If you download the Sportwanted Uploader, your copy of the Uploader includes a unique application number. The unique application number and information about your installation of the Uploader (e.g. version number, language) will be sent to Sportwanted when the Uploader automatically checks for updates.

 

Information That is Publicly Available

 

When you create an account on the site, some information regarding your account and your account activity will be provided to other Users of the site. This may include the date you opened your account, the date you last logged in to your account, your age (if you choose to make it public), your country and the number of videos you have watched.

 

Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other Users when you engage in certain activity on the site, such as uploading videos or sending messages via the Sportwanted Sites. Other Users can contact you via messages and comments.

 

You can also choose to add personal information that will be visible to other Users on your channel page (the public facing page for your account on the site). This may include a profile picture, your name, gender, relationship status or other details.

 

If you choose to add certain features to your channel page, these features and your activity associated with these features will be displayed to other Users and may be aggregated and shared with your confirmed friends or other Users. Such shared activity may include videos you add as favourites, videos you rate and videos you have uploaded.

 

Any videos that you submit to the YouTube Sites may be redistributed through the Internet and other media channels and may be viewed by the general public. If you have enabled Active Sharing, other users may see that you, as identified by your account name (not your email address), are watching the same video.

 

Your Choices

 

You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through the Sportwanted Sites, in which case you can still view videos and explore the Sportwanted Sites, but Sportwanted may not be able to provide certain services to you. Some advanced Sportwanted features may, for authentication purposes, require you to sign up. The privacy notices of those services govern the use of your personal information associated with them.

 

You may update or correct your personal profile information and email preferences at any time by visiting your account  profile page.

 

You may clear your viewing history at any time through the \\\"Viewing History\\\" feature.

 

You can control the information that is available to other Users and your confirmed friends at any time, by editing your account and the features included on your channel page.

 

Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites

 

Sportwanted allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the Sportwanted  Sites. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the YouTube Sites. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalise the advertising content you see.

 

Sportwanted does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific programme or feature for which you will have the ability to opt in or opt out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Sportwanted to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men aged 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men aged 18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the Sportwanted Sites, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.

 

You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks (see links below) for more information on their practices and for instructions on how to opt out of certain practices. Sportwan ted privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or websites. Any data obtained by third-party ad servers, which is subsequently shared with Sportwanted, is maintained and handled by Sportwanted in accordance with this privacy policy.
