By using any of the ISM Web Services, you acknowledge the terms of the updated Privacy Policy.
Welcome to the network of interactive services provided by International Sports Management (referred to as “ISM,” “us,” or “we”) through our various brands, channels, sites, mobile, email or TV applications or other products and services that operate under the ISM brands (collectively, the “ISM Services”). Trust is a cornerstone of our mission at ISM. We are committed to gaining and maintaining your trust.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected about you by ISM. Please review this Privacy Policy carefully. In addition, please review our Terms of Use, which governs your use of the ISM Services. By using any of the ISM Services, you acknowledge the data collection practices and purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
When you use ISM Services, we collect a few different types, or “categories,” of information. This information generally falls within three broad categories: (a) the information you provide to us, (b) the information we collect automatically when you use our services, and (c) information we obtain from other sources. We describe this information, and the primary purpose for which it is used, below. The full description of how we use the personal information we collect is also provided below.
ISM Services collects information you provide to us, including:
We may automatically collect or receive certain information associated with you and/or your device(s) as part of your use of the ISM Services through device-based tracking technologies such as cookies, pixels, tags, beacons, scripts or other technology. The information we collect automatically includes geolocation data, such as (a) information that identifies the precise location of your mobile device and (b) your IP address, which may be used to estimate your approximate location. We do not use this information for delivering customized content or advertising, including personalized ads, to you.
In addition, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., on our Websites. Google Analytics uses cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use the Websites, compile reports on the Websites’ activity, and provide other services related to Websites activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are return visitor, and any referring website. The Websites do not use Google Analytics to gather information that personally identifies you. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies.

We are headquartered in the United States and have affiliate offices and partners in other countries. Please be aware that the information you provide to us or that we obtain as a result of your use of the ISM Services may be collected in your country and subsequently transferred to the United States or another country in accordance with applicable law. The privacy and data protection laws in the country to which your information is transferred may not be equivalent to such laws in your country of residence. Your personal information may be subject to the laws of the country to which it is transferred and may be accessible without notice to you by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that country. By using and participating in any ISM Services or providing us with your information, you acknowledge the collection, international transfer, storage, and processing of your information.
As most ISM Services are intended for a general audience, ISM does not directly advertise to or collect information of children, nor does ISM use third party operators to collect this information. As this information is not collected, it is not sold to third party companies. If you believe your child’s information has been gathered in error by ISM, you have the right to review the personal information, direct us to delete it, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child’s information. You also have the right to agree to the collection and use of the information, but not allow disclosure to third parties unless that’s part of the service. To contact ISM regarding your child’s information, please email [email protected].
Please note that some ISM Services may contain links to other websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third party property you visit. When you select a link to a third party property from one of the ISM Services (example: a tournament website), you will be leaving the ISM Service. Any information that you disclose on the third party website will be governed by that website’s privacy policy.
We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices and service offerings. If we modify our Privacy Policy, we will update the “Last Modified Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy and such changes will be effective upon posting. If we make any material changes to the way we use personal information we collect, we will notify you in advance by email through the email address you most recently provided to us or by prominently posting a prominent notice of the changes on the CBS Services. We will not use information we have already collected in a different way than we have described here, without your consent.
