Soccer Scoop – Privacy Notice

We at soccer scoop, (incorporating this site and all of the sites within our network – as seen on the footer of this website), strongly believe in protecting the confidentiality and security of the information we collect about individuals. The material below describes our privacy policy and describes how we treat the information we receive about you if you interact with any of our sites.

Why We Need to Know About You
We need to know about you so that we can provide you with information on products and services and better target our sports content offering to your interests. What we need to know about you includes your address, age, and some preferences.

How We Learn About You
What we know about you we get mostly from you. But we may also have to find out more about you from other sources in order to make sure that what we know about you is correct and complete. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you except when you specifically provide such information voluntarily. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from message boards, suggestions, and transactional areas.

Your Right To Opt Out
At our points of data collection, you have the opportunity to indicate whether you would like to “opt-in” or “opt-out” of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services, and offerings from group companies and/or third parties on whose behalf we may send out information. Further, notwithstanding any opt-out of promotional information by the user, we reserve the right to contact you regarding account status, changes to our service agreement, and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected. You can request to “opt out” of further promotional contacts at any time and all promotional emails we send you allow you this facility. Also, upon request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts functionally to delete you and your personal information from our database; however, it may be impossible to delete a your entry without some residual information due to backups and records of deletions.

How We Protect What We Know About You
We treat what we know about you confidentially. Our employees take care in handling your information. They may get information about you only when there is a good reason to do so. We take steps to make our databases secure and to safeguard the information we have about you.

How We Use and Disclose What We Know About You
We may use anything we know about you to help us serve you better. We will not disclose your information to any third party save for the following exceptions:

  • To help us process questions you may have about a purchase, registration or other inquiry you may have.
     To confirm or correct what we know about you.
  • To help us or law enforcement agencies prevent fraud, money laundering, terrorism and other crimes.
  •  To allow for verification of what we know about you.
  •  Data processing requirements.
  •  Assisting an agency to perform research for us.
  •  Compliance with the law or request of a government agency, for example, complying with a search warrant.

Generally, we will disclose only the information we may take as reasonably necessary to disclose.

How You Can See and Correct Your Information
Generally, we will let you review what we know about you if you ask us in writing or by email. If you tell us that what we know about you is incorrect, we will review it. If we agree with you, we will correct our records.

Third-Party Data Collection
You should be aware that sites within the group might sometimes permit third parties to offer you subscription, registration-based services, promotions, or competitions through our network. We are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information to other parties.

Sharing Your Data in Public Areas of our Sites
You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g. user name, e-mail address) on any of our message boards, that information, along with any substantial information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and correlated, and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond our control.

How We Use IP Addresses
We may use your IP address to help diagnose any problems with our server or to administer our websites. Your IP address may be used to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information that helps us understand user requirements. This specific information will only be used within our organization and we will only share or use this information on an aggregate basis.

How We Use Cookies
We collect non-personal information and data through the standard operation of our servers or through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files a website uses to recognize repeat users, facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the site, track usage, follow site behavior, and compile additional data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programs that come onto your system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigned site. Cookies can help you for example by delivering content specific to your interests, or saving your password so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit our site. Our sites employ the services of outside companies to serve and appropriately target online advertisements and track site usage. To do this, their software collects anonymous data through cookies. Users should be aware that we cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for us. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allow you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g. customized delivery of information) available on our web sites.
