to all of the products, services and websites offered by

our privacy practices, we will post separate privacy notices to describe how
particular services process personal
information.

Information we collect and how we use
it:
We may offer services that do not require you to register for
an account or provide any personal information to us. In
order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types
of information:
- Information you provide - When you sign up for a GameOfficials.net Account or other GameOfficials.net service or
promotion that requires registration, we ask you for personal information (such
as your name, email address and an account password). For certain services,
we also request credit card or other payment
account information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers. We
may combine the information you submit under your account with information from
other GameOfficials.net services or third parties in order to provide you with a better
experience and to improve the quality of our services. For certain services, we
may give you the opportunity to opt out of combining such information.
- GameOfficials.net cookies - When you visit a GameOfficials.net website, we send one or more cookies -
a small file containing a string of characters - to your computer that uniquely
identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by
storing user preferences and tracking user trends.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your
browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
However, some GameOfficials.net features and services may not function properly
if your cookies are disabled.

automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a

browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that
may uniquely identify your browser.
- User communications - When you send email or other communication to
GameOfficials.net, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries,
respond to your requests and improve our services.
- Affiliated sites - We may offer some services in connection with
other web sites. However, no personal information will be sent to any
third party (outside of the GameOfficials.net family of products) without your
explicit consent. We process such information in
accordance with this Policy. Any affiliated sites may have different privacy
practices and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
- Links - GameOfficials.net may present links in a format that enables
us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to
improve the quality of our technology, customized content and
advertising. For more information about links and redirected URLs, please see
our FAQs.
- Other sites - This Privacy Policy applies to web sites and services
that are owned and operated by GameOfficials.net. We do not exercise control over sites
that may be displayed as links from within our various pages. These
other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect
data or solicit personal information from you.
GameOfficials.net only processes personal information for the purposes described
in the applicable Privacy Policy and/or privacy notice for specific services. In
addition to the above, such purposes include:
- Providing our products and services to users, including the display of
customized content;
- Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve
our services;
- Ensuring the technical functioning of our network; and
- Developing new services.
You can find more information about how we process personal
information by referring to the privacy notices for particular services.
GameOfficials.net processes personal information on our servers in the United
States of America and in other countries. In some cases, we may process personal
information on a server outside your own country. We process personal
information to provide our own services. We will not process personal
information on behalf of a third party, such as our advertising partners.
Choices for personal information
When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration,
we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a
manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask
for your consent prior to such use.
If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than
those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will
offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for
those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes
other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service
notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.
You can decline to submit personal information to any of our
services, in which case GameOfficials.net may not be able to provide those services to you.
Information sharing
GameOfficials.net only shares personal information with other companies or
individuals outside of GameOfficials.net in the following limited circumstances:
- We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any
sensitive personal information.
- We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of
such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law,
regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce
applicable Terms of Service, including
investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise
address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent
harm to the rights, property or safety of GameOfficials.net, its users or the public as
required or permitted by law.
If GameOfficials.net becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of
sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide notice before personal
information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information,
such as the number of users who searched for a particular term, for example, or
how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. Such information does not
identify you individually.
Please contact us at the address below for any additional questions
about the management or use of personal data.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized
access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These
include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing
practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard
against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to GameOfficials.net employees,
contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate,
develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality
obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal
prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Data integrity
GameOfficials.net processes personal information only for the purposes for which
it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable
service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and
processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the
personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take
reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate,
complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their
personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use GameOfficials.net services, we make good faith efforts to provide
you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if
it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise
required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask
individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be
accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may
decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic,
require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or
would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information
residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any
case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service
free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some
of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete users'
personal information. We provide the details for these procedures in the
specific privacy notices or FAQs for these services.
