    HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
    We may use your Personal Information for the following general and business purposes:

    To deliver our newsletters;
    To respond to your inquiries.
    To address our administrative needs and communications.
    To improve our products and services.
    To contact you for our business purposes or for marketing communications purposes (if you have opted-in to such communications).
    To provide notice of changes and upgrades to our products and services or policies.
    We use non-Personal Information such as web or mobile pages you have viewed, in order to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may improve our products and services, enhance our user experience, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may disclose non-Personal Information to third parties that promote our products and services. We reserve the right to use and disclose non-Personal Information to third parties in our discretion.

    Your IP address is a code which is assigned to your computer every time you connect to the Internet. IP addresses are used to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Website. We use aggregated IP address information to compile reports on the demographics of the usage of the Website and Services for purposes of system administration, marketing, and to track potential abuse of our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy

    HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
    Unless you have opted-in to allow us to share your Personal Information with third parties (such as for marketing communications purposes), we do not sell, trade, rent, or share your Personal Information with third parties for their marketing purposes, and we will not disclose financial information that is part of your Personal Information, in each case unless you request or authorize that we do so.

    If you provide Personal Information for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Information in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the Personal Information you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem and will respond to the email address from which you contacted us.

    We may disclose Personal Information to our corporate subsidiaries or affiliated entities. Any Personal Information provided to our subsidiaries or entities affiliated with us will be treated by those subsidiaries and affiliated entities in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

    We may share your Personal Information with third party vendor and suppliers to provide you with the products and services, such as to send you our newsletters or to send you information regarding a webinar you have registered to attend. You expressly consent to the sharing of your Personal Information with our contractors and third-party service providers for the sole purpose of providing products and services to you. These service providers are contractually obligated to ensure the confidentiality of Personal Information and implement appropriate security measures.

    We use third-party payment processors for any purchases you make through the Services. Be advised that we do not have access to or store any Personal Information, including credit card numbers or other financial information, you provide to these processors. This Privacy Policy does not apply to them, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies.

    We may participate in co-branding or co-promotional agreements with third parties pursuant to which we may share Personal Information with such third parties (“Partner Companies”). For example, we may participate in agreements with Partner Companies pursuant to which we provide the Partner Companies with a URL and a customer registration page co-branded with, or private labeled by, the Partner Companies, such as for a sponsored webinar, and the Partner Companies distributes and promotes the URL to its customers. A Partner Company may have access to Personal Information that we collect from their customers. As a result, if you register on the Services through a Partner Company, we may provide your Personal Information to the Partner Company. We do not control the privacy practices of these Partner Companies.

    We may use your Personal Information in order to provide to third parties non-personal aggregated information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted and that is combined with the Personal Information of other users (“Aggregate Information”). For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of users of the Services and the activities they conduct while on the Services. We might also inform a company that performs services or that provides products and/or services to us (that may or may not be a business partner or an advertiser on the Services) that 50% of our users live in the USA” or that “85% of our users have purchased products and/or services which can be downloaded from the Services.” Depending on the circumstances, we may or may not charge third parties for this Aggregate Information.

    Under the following scenarios, we may be required to share your Personal Information:

    If we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving possible threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use or as otherwise required by law.
    To respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process, or if we need to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
    If we believe it is necessary to restrict or inhibit any user from using any of the Services, including, without limitation, by means of “hacking” or defacing any portion thereof.
    If we are involved in a merger, reorganization, dissolution, or other fundamental corporate change, or sell a website or business unit, or if all or a portion of our business, assets or stock are acquired by a third party.
    LEGAL BASIS
    Other legal basis for collecting Personal Information are: (i) where we need the Personal Information for performance of a contract or requested service; or (ii) where the collection and use is in our or another’s legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect the Personal Information in question. If we collect your Personal Information with your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time as provided below.

    California Consumer Privacy Act – The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives California consumers enhanced rights with respect to their personal information that is collected by businesses. The CCPA provides California consumers with three rights regarding their personal information.

    First, California consumers can opt out of the sale of their Personal Information. However, FOS does not sell your Personal Information.

    Second, California consumers may opt out of having their personal information sold to other persons or parties. Second, California consumers can request to know:

    What specific pieces of information a business has collected about the consumer;

    Categories of sources from which the personal information is collected;

    FOS and the Services are located in the United States and governed by US law. If you are outside the United States when you visit the Services or engage in communications with us, please be aware that your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States where our servers are located. Any information you provide to us, or that we collect through your use of the Services and will be stored, processed, and transferred within, or to, the United States.

    USERS IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA), UNITED KINGDOM AND SWITZERLAND
    The Legal Basis for Using EEA, UK and Swiss Personal Information

    For residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom and Switzerland, we advise that your Personal Information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which has data protection laws that are different than those in your country and may not be as protective. The United States has not sought or received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or from the United Kingdom under Article 45 of the UK GDPR.

    Our legal basis for collecting and using your Personal Information is to do so with your consent; where we need the Personal Information for performance of a contract or requested service, including to provide you with our daily Newsletter, or where the collection and use is in our or another’s legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect the Personal Information in question. If we collected your Personal Information with your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

    To exercise rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR, please use our online Request Form [link] or send us an email at privacy@fos.company.

    Our retention of your Personal Information and any subsequent communications are based on our legitimate interest in providing you with new and potentially relevant materials based on your geography, role, or company. As always, you can elect to opt out from receiving such future communications.

    To the extent that we transfer Personal Information from the EEA, UK or Switzerland to a jurisdiction outside the EEA, UK or Switzerland that has not been adduced by the European Commission or UK Secretary of State or Information Commissioner’s Office as providing adequate data protections (such as the United States), we will ensure that such Personal Information is safeguarded through appropriate contractual terms or other approved mechanisms.

    Rights for EEA. UK or Swiss Residents

    In addition, if you are a resident of the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you have the right to:

    Find out if we use your Personal Information, to access your Personal Information, and receive copies of your Personal Information.
    Withdraw any express consent that you have provided to the processing of your Personal Information at any time without penalty.
    Access your Personal Information and have it corrected or amended if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
    Obtain a transferable copy of some of your Personal information which can be transferred to another provider when the Personal Information was processed based on your consent.
    If you believe your Personal Information is inaccurate, no longer necessary for our business purposes, or if you object to our processing of your Personal Information, you also have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data pending our investigation and/or verification of your claim.
    Request your Personal Information be deleted or restricted under certain circumstances. For example, if is using your Personal Information on the basis of your consent and has no other legal basis to use such, you may request your Personal Information be deleted when you withdraw your consent.
    Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your Personal Information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

    If we ask you to provide Personal Information to us to comply with a legal requirement or enter into a contract, we will inform you of this and let you know whether providing us with your Personal Information is required and if not, the consequences of not sharing your Personal Information with us.

    Similarly, if we collect and use your Personal Information in reliance on our or a third party’s legitimate interests and those interests are not already described above, we will let you know what those legitimate interests are.

    We endeavor to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your Personal Information and to use it only consistent with your relationship with us and the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

    To withdraw consent or exercise these rights, please contact us via email at privacy@fos.company.

    If you are not satisfied with our response, or believe we are processing your personally identifiable information in violation of the law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority (also known as Data Protection Authority) or other appropriate governmental authority in your EEA Member State, UK or Switzerland. A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en. The data controller is Front Office Sports LLC

    10. USERS IN CANADA

    Users of the Website and Services from Canada are informed we take appropriate steps to comply with applicable Canadian data privacy requirements, including the Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and the Personally identifiable information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Note, however, that personally identifiable information stored or processed outside of Canada, including in the US or another foreign country, may not be subject to the PIPEDA. In addition, personally identifiable information stored or processed outside of Canada is subject to the laws of that other country and may be available to the foreign government of the country in which the Personal Information or the entity controlling it is located pursuant to a lawful order in that jurisdiction. This Privacy Policy is intended to provide the required notices regarding our collection and use of personally identifiable information, including transfer to the United States.

    You may request to access, correct, or delete your personally identifiable information, or withdraw consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personally identifiable information, by contacting us at privacy@fos.company.

    These rights are subject to applicable contractual and legal restrictions and reasonable notice. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before honoring any such requests.

    11. SECURITY

    FOS has implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access and use as described. While we strive to protect your information, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure and, consequently, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit you provide, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot promise that your information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we may provide.

    We will retain your information for the time necessary to provide a requested service, realize our legitimate business purposes and to comply with the law. We will only retain personal information for the longer of the period if: (a) required by law, or (b) there is a time-bound determination business need. If you unsubscribe to a newsletter, we do not retain your email address.

    12. NO RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES

    This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personally identifiable information relating to users of the Website or Services.

    13. CHILDREN’S INFORMATION

    The Website and Services are not intended to be used by children under the age of 13, and we will not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under this age. We do not use an application or other mechanism to determine the age of users of the Website and Services. All information provided to FOS will be treated as if it was provided by an adult. If, however, we learn that a child has submitted information about himself/herself to us, we will delete the information as soon as possible.

    14. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

    The Services may contain links to and from third party websites of our business partners and various contact management services and other service providers. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies. Please check their individual privacy policies before you submit any Personal Information to those websites.

    Our provision of a link to any other website or location is for your convenience and does not indicate our endorsement of such other website or location or its contents. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of our Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites.

    15. UPDATES TO PRIVACY POLICY
