This privacy policy explains the use of information collected via our website, customer service operations and SportsBLOX service. As used in this privacy policy, the term "personal information" means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, home or other physical address, an email address, phone number or other contact information, whether at work or at home. Please read this information carefully. We urge all users to take an active role in helping us protect their privacy. The Information We Collect We collect personal information and usage statistics to maintain a high-quality customer experience and deliver superior customer service. As used in this privacy policy, the term "personal information" means any information that may be used to identify you including, but not limited to, the following categories of information: (1) contact data such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number; (2) financial data such as your account or credit card number; and (3) demographic data such as your zip code, age, and income. If you communicate with us by e-mail, post messages to any of our chat groups, bulletin boards, or forums, or otherwise complete online forms, surveys, or contest entries, any information provided in such communication may be collected as personal information. When you register for SportsBLOX, Numedeon asks for your e-mail address, a user-selected user name, and other information. Once you are a registered user you can update your profile and may be able to provide additional preferential information. Numedeon may also ask for other optional information. Some information we request directly from you during registration. Other information is gathered indirectly from website traffic, your computer hardware and Internet connection, or through your use of SportsBLOX. For example, we automatically track and collect the following categories of information when you visit our Site: (1) IP addresses; (2) domain servers; (3) types of computers accessing the SportsBLOX web site; and (4) types of web browsers used to access the SportsBLOX web site (collectively "Traffic Data"). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify you but is helpful to us for marketing purposes or for helping us to improve your experience on the SportsBLOX web site. We may place a text file called a cookie in the browser files of your computer. We use cookies to customize content specific to your interests, to ensure that you do not see the same advertisement repeatedly, and to store your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site. The cookie enables us to collect information about your visits to our Services. We may use this information to enhance your Services experience and may share some information with our members, vendors, sponsors or others. How We Use the Information We use visitors' Personal Information for our internal purposes of customizing and enhancing the user experience in SportsBLOX. We also use visitors' Computer Information to track usage, improve the design of the Site, offer products and services, to personalize our visitor's experiences, save your password in password-protected areas, enable you to engage in electronic commerce on our sites and to ensure visitors are following the site's Agreement. Sometimes we will use agents or contractors to help us provide services to our visitors, such as helping us conduct a sweepstakes and sending prizes to the winners. In these cases, we require the agent or contractor to keep the information confidential and to use it only for the specific services they are performing. We reserve the right to collect and disclose (to our affiliates and to non-affiliate third parties) user behavior and Personal Information to the extent permitted by applicable law, as specifically restricted below or in the Terms of Use (insert link here). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy or elsewhere, we reserve the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law (including, without limitation, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), regulation, legal process, law enforcement requests, demands by parties claiming your infringement of their rights or governmental request, to edit, refuse to post or remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in our sole discretion; or to act in an emergency to protect someone's safety or legal rights. Except under certain limited circumstances set forth in this privacy policy and in our Terms of Use, Numedeon does not disclose personal information you provide it to any third parties without your permission. If Numedeon should ever merge with another company, we may share your personal information with any company with whom we merge. We may share certain categories of information we collect from you in the ways described in this privacy policy. We may share demographic data with advertisers and other third parties on an aggregate (i.e., non-personally-identifiable) basis. If you register with our site or purchase products from us, from time to time, we may e-mail you with informative messages about our services or third party products and services we believe may be of interest to you, such as new features and services, special offers and updated information. The newsletters may contain code that enables our database to track your usage of the newsletters, including whether the email was opened and/or what links (if any) were clicked. We will combine that information to other information we have about you and may use that information to improve your site experience and/or provide customized e-mail communications to you. We encourage you to use caution and common sense in giving out Personal Information when using Community Services or otherwise. We make social applications, including, but not limited to, chat rooms, blogs, and message boxes, available to you. Please understand that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. We have no control over its use and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. We have no control over third parties to whom you may give Personal Information through the use of our Services. Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors Our site contains links to other sites, including those of sponsors, advertisers and survey companies. Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy notices, since our Privacy Policy does not cover those sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. Numedeon does not share a visitor's e-mail address or other Personal Information with such third parties without permission; however, if you choose to "opt-in" (click on a box to receive a third party's information), to register with one of our sponsors, or you choose not to "opt-out" (uncheck a checked box that will provide a sponsor with your information), that means you have allowed Numedeon to give your registration and other information, including e-mail address, to that third party. Numedeon, Inc. may sometimes utilize the services of third party companies to facilitate sending emails pertaining to SportsBLOX to registered users.? For this purpose, Numedeon, Inc. may share user email addresses with the third party solely for the purpose of facilitating communication between Numedeon, Inc. and the SportsBLOX user. How We Protect Your Personal Data We comply with applicable laws and industry standards when transferring, receiving and storing consumer data. Access to your personal information is limited to those Numedeon employees who require the information in order to provide products or services to you or perform their jobs. Only Those 13 or Older May Register Numedeon does not collect information from children ages 12 or younger because only those individuals who are 13 years of age or older are permitted to register. Registration for our mailing list, website and/or SportsBLOX service requires entry of a valid, eligible, and verifiable Date of Birth. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for SportsBLOX or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to or on SportsBLOX. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@sportsblox.com.

When this occurs we will make reasonable efforts to alert you to these changes.
