Acceptance of Privacy Policy

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website. In addition, please review the Website’s Terms of Use at https://acceleratesportsventures.com/terms-of-use, which governs your use of the Website.

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE TERMS OF USE AND OUR COLLECTION, USE AND SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION AND DATA, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES, AS DESCRIBED BELOW.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may revise and update this Privacy Policy from time to time and in our sole discretion, with or without notice. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of the revised Privacy Policy means that you accept and agree to the changes. However, without your consent, we will not use previously collected Personal Information in a manner materially different than represented at the time it was collected.

What Information Does the Website Collect?

When you visit our Website, we may collect two types of information about you: (1) information that can be used to identify you, such as your first and last name, e-mail address and home address (“Personal Information“), and (2) information related to your activities on the Website that we automatically collect as you interact with the Website (“Website Usage Information“).

(a) Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide. Generally, you can visit the Website without telling us who you are and without giving us any Personal Information. The only way that we collect Personal Information at the Website is if you send us a message, or if you otherwise voluntarily provide such information through the Website. We will collect whatever Personal Information you voluntarily provide (e.g., name, phone number, postal address, and/or e-mail address). Likewise, if you send us a message, you will be sending us your name, e-mail address, and any other information, including Personal Information, you choose to include in that communication. You are under no obligation to provide Personal Information, but if you elect not to provide it, you may be unable to use certain features of the Website or to communicate with us via the Website.

(b) Website Usage Information We Collect or Store as You Access or Use the Website.

Website Usage Information may include: (i) your IP address or other unique identifier; (ii) your device functionality (e.g., browser, operating system, hardware, mobile network information); (iii) the URL that referred you to the Website; (iv) the areas within the Website that you visit and your activities there; (v) your device location and characteristics; and (vi) certain other device data, including the time of day and other information. Website Usage Information typically is anonymous information not associated with you or your identity. However, if Website Usage Information is combined with your Personal Information in a manner that it is directly associated with your identity, it will be treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect or store certain Website Usage Information related to your activities on the Website. These technologies may set, change, alter or modify settings or configurations on your device. These technologies may include the following:

Cookies and Similar Technologies.

Cookies are small pieces of data stored and managed by your web browser that enable certain Website features and functionality. Cookies and similar technologies can be used to recognize you and your device when you visit the Website, remember your preferences, and make your interactions with the Website faster and more secure. Cookies are a built-in feature of the Web, but they can generally be managed, disabled, or removed using most commercial web browsers. Each browser you use will need to be set separately and different browsers offer different functionality and options for cookies. Please be aware that if you disable or remove cookies on your device, some parts of the Website may not function properly, and that when you revisit the Website your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit allaboutcookies.org or aboutcookies.org.

The types of cookies that we use on the Website, and the purposes for which they are used, are as follows:

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the Website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, any services on the Website you wish to access cannot be provided.
Analytical/performance cookies: These cookies allow us to recognize and count site visitors and to see how visitors move around the Website when they are using them. This helps us to improve the way the Website work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and is used only to improve how a website works. In addition, we use third party service providers to provide certain analytics services to use in connection with the operation of the Website. These include Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to track the Website usage and activity anonymously. Google Analytics uses cookies, and the information generated by such cookies about your use of the Website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on website activity and providing to us other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GBM. Further information about Google’s terms and conditions for Google Analytics can be found at: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html.
Functionality cookies: These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video. Additionally, these cookies can be used to allow an optional service to function. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and these cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to the Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our Website more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
Pixel tags: These are also known as a clear GIF or web beacon. These are invisible tags placed on certain pages of the Website but not on your computer. When you access these pages, pixel tags generate a generic notice of that visit. They usually work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular device visits a particular page. If you turn off cookies, the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous website visit.
Tracking URLs: These are used to determine from which referring website the Website is accessed.
Social Plugins: The Website may use social plugins (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit the Website, the operator of the social plugin may be able to place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited the Website. If you have previously logged into the associated social media website (e.g., Facebook) before browsing on the Website, the social plugin allows that social media website to receive information about your visit to particular pages on the Website. The social plugin may collect this information for any such visitors who have logged into social networks, whether or not they specifically interact with the plugin on the Website (e.g., by clicking “Like” or “Share”). The social plugin may also allow the social media website to share information about your activities on the Website with other users of their social media website. For further details about the information shared via a particular social media plugin, you should refer to that social media site’s privacy statement.

(c) Third Party Service Providers. Third party service providers may use such technologies with the Website and may collect information about you, including Personal Information, without notice to you.

By using the Website, you consent to potentially encountering third party tracking technologies when using the Website and accept that our statements in this Privacy Policy do not apply to the tracking technologies or practices of such third parties. We are not responsible for any such third party technologies or activities arising out of them. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of or compliance with any third party’s opt-out options.

(d) Do Not Track Signals. Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals. At this time, we do not take steps to respond to such signals. You can manage your cookie preferences using your own browser settings to accept or block some or all cookies, or to receive notice so you can consent to cookies. If you block all cookies, some features of the Website may be unavailable to you.

(e) Children. The Website does not offer products or services to children and we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children younger than the age of thirteen (13). We will delete any Personal Information collected that we later determine to be from a person younger than the age of thirteen (13).

Third Party Content and Links on the Website.

The Website may contain content that is supplied by third parties and those third parties may collect Website Usage Information when pages from the Websites are served to you. In addition, when you are on the Website you may be directed to other sites operated and controlled by third parties that we do not control. We are not responsible for the data collection and privacy practices used by any of these third parties or their sites and they may be tracking you across multiple sites and sharing the results with us and/or others.

Retention of Personal Information

We will retain your Personal Information in a form that identifies you only for as long as it serves the purpose(s) for which it was initially collected as stated in this Privacy Policy, subsequently authorized by you, or as required under applicable law. After such time periods have expired, we may either delete your Personal Information or retain it in a form such that it does not identify you personally.
