2. Information Collected

We collect two general types of information, “Non-Personally Identifiable Information” and “Personally Identifiable Information.” We collect this information generally to allow teams and players to utilize our services and functionality and to improve our website. We also collect Personally Identifiable Information from applicants for coaching positions in order to conduct background checks on them.

a. Non-Personally Identifiable Information

When you visit our website, we may collect some basic Non-Personally Identifiable Information about you. We collect non-personally identifiable information about you in a number of ways, including tracking your activities through your IP address, computer settings, or most-recently visited URL. We may also ask you to provide certain non-personally identifiable information about yourself, such as your age, household income, buying preferences, etc.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information is collected in order to provide you with satisfactory service and to improve our website. We may use the information to detect problems with our server and to administer our site. In addition, Non-Personally Identifiable Information is compiled by us and analyzed on an aggregate basis.

b. Personally Identifiable Information

We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to us, by, for example, registering for an account or other products or services or providing health care information or applying for a coaching position which requires a background check. This information lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact, or locate you or to confirm your eligibility to participate in an event or to qualify for a coaching position.

Personally, Identifiable Information may consist of: your name, address, telephone number, email address, birth date, billing information (credit card number, expiration date, and billing address), grade, team name, products purchased, any relevant promotion code, and information (for example, reward program account information) physicals and other personal healthcare information and any other information you may provide us (“Personally Identifiable Information” ). By providing us with Personally Identifiable Information, you consent to our use of that information.

We use Personally Identifiable Information for internal purposes, such as notifying you, subscription or registration, analyzing trends and statistics, informing you of our new events, services, and offers. We also use Personally Identifiable Information to verify your eligibility for an event.

Personally, Identifiable Information is compiled by us and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis.

To serve you better, we may combine Personally Identifiable Information you give us online or through our catalogs. We may also combine that information with publicly available information about you that we may receive from third parties.

3. Registering for a Personal Account

When you register for a Personal Account on our website, you provide us with Personally Identifiable Information. This information allows us to identify you and also allows us to pre-populate information fields when you place an order.  You warrant and represent that all Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to us is and will be truthful and accurate.  You further represent, by providing any Personally Identifiable Information about a person under 18 years of age that you are that person’s parent or legal guardian or that you have obtained written consent from that person’s parent or legal guardian to provide the Personally Identifiable Information.

4. Joining a Team

When you create an account, we require you to provide us with Personally Identifiable Information. This information allows us to organize players onto teams and provide relevant content.

For your convenience, when you are placed on a team, we automatically establish your own Personal Account where information is saved.

5. Applying for Verification as a Coach

When you apply for verification in connection with a coaching application, we require you to provide us with Personally Identifiable Information. We may share such information with our third-party Service Providers, as necessary, to conduct background searches.  This information allows us and our third-party Service Providers to conduct background searches and obtain background search reports.  We provide the information contained in those background search reports to the Tournaments and Leagues so they may determine whether or not you qualify for a coaching position.  We do not make the determination whether or not you so qualify.

6. Use of Information

In general, we will only use the information you provide to us for the purpose for which such information was provided. For example, we will use the information provided for team names and game times. We may share such information with our third-party Service Providers as necessary. For example, we will share your Personally Identifiable Information with our credit card processor to process credit card transactions. We may also share your Personally Identifiable Information with registered team management so they can better manage the team and contact you if need be. Personally Identifiable Information of coaching applicants will be shared with applicable Tournaments and Leagues. 

We may also use this information to deliver to you information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners, trend analysis, pattern direction, and site administration. Your information may also be used to contact you when necessary and may be shared with other companies that may want to contact you with offers consistent with your stated preferences. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings from National Sports ID and other entities by following the instructions set forth in the opt-out section below.

Non-personal demographic and profile data is used to tailor your experience at our site, showing you content we think you might be interested in. This information may also be shared with advertisers on an aggregate non-personal basis.

7. Use of Cookies/Clear GIFs

When you view our website we might store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a “cookie” or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you navigate a website as easily as possible. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to prevent you from reentering all your registration data at each connection.

When you click through to our website from a promotional email, our Service Provider may send a cookie to your hard drive recording your IP address and other related information.

Some of our Service Providers may employ clear GIFs (also known as pixel tags, single-pixel GIFs, web beacons, or action tags) for our benefit to help us measure advertising effectiveness.

Clear GIFs help us better manage content on our website by informing us of what content is effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of our users.

The main difference between the two is that clear GIFs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear GIFs are not tied to your Personally Identifiable Information.

Our Service Providers may use clear GIFs: (i) in HTML based emails to determine which emails have been opened by recipients; (ii) to record when products have been ordered from our site; and (iii) to track the visitor traffic on our site.

These clear GIFs allow us to measure the usage of our site by our visitors and the effectiveness of certain communications and marketing campaigns. We may also use clear GIFs in a similar manner in our own emails and on our site.

Clear GIFs can “work with” existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same website or advertising company. That means, for example, that if a person visited “www.companyX.com”, which uses an advertising company’s clear GIF, the Web site would match the clear GIFs identifier and the advertising company’s cookie ID number, to show the past online behavior for that computer.

This collected information can be shared with the advertising company. We may provide such information to our Service Providers but that information can only be used by our Service Providers for our benefit.

8. Credit Card Information

We may collect credit card payments from users when they purchase services or products. No payments are collected without a user’s explicit authorization. All credit card information is processed for us by a third-party merchant processing service, and we do not have access to any of our users’ personal credit card information. Processing of the foregoing credit cards follows credit card industry standards.

Once you complete the verification process and submit for a verified Sports ID you agree to pay a nonrefundable $10 fee payable upon setting up the submission and each year thereafter and that your credit card, Stripe, PayPal or Braintree account will automatically be charged $10 on each anniversary of the date you set up the account. Your subscription will continue until it is canceled, which you may do at any time.

All transactions on NSID are subject to a $2.99 service fee that is non-refundable. Even when the user is refunded for any subscription or service NSID offers.

As always, consumers making purchases must have a valid credit card, be at least 18 years of age or older, and have good credit standing.

9. Payment Terms

Your purchase of National Sports ID’s services and your maintenance of a Personal Account is via a PayPal subscription or by credit card payment authorization.  All payments are nonrefundable.  Your purchase must be renewed yearly to keep your Personal Account verified. If you fail to pay the annual renewal fee your Personal Account will become not verified.  Your PayPal Account or credit card, as applicable, will automatically be charged on each anniversary of the date you set up your Personal Account unless you cancel your Personal Account prior to its annual renewal date.  By accepting this Policy and by setting up a Personal Account, you agree to make these annual renewal payments and you authorize National Sports ID to charge your PayPal Account or credit card, as applicable, on each anniversary of the day your Personal Account was set up. This agreement will automatically renew every year and your credit card or PayPal account (as applicable) will automatically be charged on an annual basis unless and until you cancel prior to your annual renewal date. If you need assistance canceling your subscription please email admin@nationalsportsid.com

All amounts are billed in U.S. dollars and will appear on your card or PayPal Account statement as National Sports ID or NSID. To cancel your Personal Account you must go through your account settings at PayPal.com to cancel. You may also cancel your subscription by contacting us (go to My Account, sign in with your password and choose “cancel”).

10. Other Website Links

11. Third Party Information

We do not represent or warrant that any such information or materials are complete, current, reliable, or error-free. 

We are not liable or responsible for any inaccuracies, errors, or omissions with respect to any information or data provided by third parties about games, contests, competitions, events, or tournaments.  The inclusion, publication, display, or dissemination of any information pertaining to any games, contests, competitions, events, or tournaments (or any applications or other documents in connection therewith) on our website does not constitute an endorsement (express or implied) or sponsorship by us of any such game(s), contest(s), competition(s), event(s) or tournament(s) or of the sponsors or organizers thereof or of any documents, releases or other forms which they may post or provide for use on our website.

12. Subpoena Policy

We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information, after subpoena or written request, to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. We do not voluntarily disclose user personal information to unaffiliated third parties. If we are served with a subpoena for the personal information of a user, we will provide notice to the user whose personal information is sought by the subpoena to give them the opportunity to object to the subpoena. If the user does not object to the subpoena within a specified period of time, we will comply with the terms of the subpoena. Should the user object to the subpoena in a court of law, we will abide by whatever decision is reached by such a court of law.

13. Public Communication

We allow you to make public comments on our website in the form of product reviews and other comments. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. You agree not to post any obscene, indecent, harassing, abusive, defamatory, or tortuous materials on our website nor to post any material which infringes upon any rights of third parties or which otherwise gives rise to civil or criminal liability or which contains advertising of any kind.

14. Security

We use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology when you purchase a product or service online with us and are paying by credit card. SSL encrypts your order information as additional protection against the decoding of that information by anyone other than us. However, despite all reasonable security precautions and processes, such as password protection, encryption technology, and the use of firewall technology, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our website, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will take commercially reasonable precautions to protect its security on our systems.

If you open a Personal Account with National Sports ID, your password will be your personal, secret entry code to our website. When you access your account information, it is kept on a secure server and a password is needed to access any account areas.

You can change your password as many times as you like. We recommend that you keep your password in a safe place and that you always sign off your account and close your browser window once you have finished your visit.

These precautions will help prevent someone else from accessing your account, especially if you share a computer with other people or use a computer in a public place such as an Internet café or library.
