Collection of Personal Information

Personal Information You Provide. Depending on how you engage with the Services or communicate with us, we will collect the following categories of personal information about you when you share it with us. For example, we may collect:

• Contact information, such as your first and last name, email address, phone number, and social media handle.
• Account information, such as the username and password that you set when you create an account, your favorite sports teams, and other information you add to your account.
• Your preferences, such as your preferences for receiving communications or notifications about the Services, and details about how you engage with our communications.
• Communications, such as information you provide when you contact us with questions, feedback, or otherwise.

Automatically Collected Personal Information. When you use the App or visit the Site, certain information about you or your device may be collected or logged automatically, such as:

• Online activity information, such as linking pages, pages or screens you viewed, your time spent on a page or screen, your navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, your access times, duration of access, and other online activity information collected automatically.
• Device information, such as your computer and mobile operating system, operating system type and version number, wireless carrier, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, general location information such as city, state, or geographic area, and other device information collected automatically.

We, our service providers, and our advertising partners may collect these categories of personal information over time on our Services and across other sites and online services. On our Services, this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as:

• Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for purposes such as helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, helping us understand user activity and patterns, and facilitating online advertising.
• Pixels, also known as web beacons or clear GIFs, which are typically used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked, often to compile statistics about usage of websites or the success of marketing campaigns.
• Local storage, which is used to save data on a user’s device for purposes such as web navigation, customizing your experience based on past interactions, and remembering your preferences.
• Software development kits, or SDKs, which are computer code libraries used in mobile apps for a variety of purposes, including analytics regarding the use of a mobile app, adding features or functionality, or facilitating online advertising including tracking the success of marketing campaigns. SDKs provided by third parties may enable third parties to collect information directly via mobile apps as part of the services they provide.

Personal Information from Third Parties. We may collect or receive personal information about you from service providers, integration partners, advertising partners, social media platforms, data providers/licensors, or public sources. For example, if the Services offer you the option to sign up for an account using a third-party platform, like Apple or Google, they provide us with certain information needed to create and authenticate your account. We may also receive limited information from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, such as confirmation that you submitted a payment.

Users of our Services may have the opportunity to refer friends or other contacts to us. Please do not provide us with another person’s contact information unless you have permission to do so.

Use of Personal Information

We collect and use personal information primarily to provide you with the content and services you request. We also use personal information for the purposes described below.

Targeted Advertising. We may work with third-party advertising and social media companies to help us advertise the Services, identify potential customers, and display ads on our Services and other sites and services. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about you (including the device information and online activity information described above) over time across our Services and other sites and services or your interaction with our emails, and use that information to show you ads that may be more relevant to you. We may also share limited information, such as hashed email addresses, with these companies to help deliver ads to you or to people with similar interests. For information on how to limit targeted advertising, see the section titled “Your Choices” below.

We may use your personal information for research and development purposes, including to analyze and improve the features and functionality of our Services, understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our users, and develop and improve our Services, features, and business. As part of these activities, we may combine the information we collect, or create aggregated, de-identified or other anonymous data records from your personal information and other individuals whose personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes.

Compliance, Fraud Prevention, and Safety. We may use your personal information to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities; protect our, your, or others’ rights, privacy, safety or property (including by making and defending legal claims); audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements and internal policies; enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Services; and prevent, identify, investigate and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.

With your consent. We will use and disclose your personal information in accordance with your prior direction or, in some cases, we may specifically ask you for your consent to collect, use, or share your personal information, such as when required by law.

Cookies. Most browsers let you remove and/or stop accepting cookies from the websites you visit. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser’s settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all functionality of the Site and it may not work properly. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your browser and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Advertising Choices. You can limit the use of your information for targeted advertising by blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings, using browser plug-ins/extensions, and/or using your mobile device settings to limit the use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device. You can also opt out of targeted ads from companies participating in the following industry opt-out programs by visiting their websites: Network Advertising Initiative (https://thenai.org/how-to-opt-out/); Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info or https://youradchoices.com/appchoices).

Many of the opt-out preferences described in this section must be set on each device or browser for which you want them to apply. Please note that not all advertising companies participate in the opt-out mechanisms described above, so even after opting-out, you may still receive interest-based advertisements from other companies. If you opt out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may be less relevant to you.
