Certain of our services permit college coaches to turn off these emails on the Settings page.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS —PRIVACY RIGHTS

This section addresses legal obligations and rights laid out in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).  These obligations and rights apply to businesses doing business in California and to California residents and information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with California consumers or households (“California Information”). The information contained in this section applies to California Information collected and used by ISportz (for the purposes of this section, “we” or “us”).  (For a full list of the entities that comprise ISportz) If you are a California resident and would like to learn more about this information, please review the following paragraphs. 

California Information We Collect.  Please see Section 1 (above) regarding “INFORMATION WE COLLECT” and Section 2(above) regarding “HOW WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGY TO COLLECT INFORMATION”. 

California Information We Share.

We share these categories of California Information for operational purposes with providers who provide services for us:  please see Section 4 (above), “SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION”. 

California Information We “Sell”. The CCPA defines ‘sale’ very broadly. It includes the sharing of California Information in exchange for anything of value.  According to this broad definition, nearly any information we share may be deemed to be a sale.  For information that we share, please see Section 4 (above), “SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION”. 

California Consumers Under 16 Years Old. CCPA has specific rules regarding the use of California Information from consumers under 16 years of age.  In particular, consistent with the CCPA, if we have the California Information of a consumer under the age of 16, we will not sell the information unless we receive affirmative permission to do so.  If the consumer is between the ages of 13 and 16 years of age, the consumer may provide that permission; if the consumer is under the age of 13, the consumer’s parent or guardian must provide the permission. 

Your California Privacy Rights to Request Disclosure of Information We Collect and Share about You. California’s Civil Code section 1798.83 requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the business’ practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Alternately, businesses, such as ours, may have in place a policy not to disclose personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information-sharing. As discussed above in Section 13, if you wish to opt-out of our sharing of your personal Information with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, please contact our Privacy Policy Coordinator as described above.

In addition, if you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you the right to request certain information about our practices with respect to California Information.  In particular, you can request the following: 

The categories and specific pieces of your California Information that we’ve collected.

The categories of sources from which we collected California Information.

The business or commercial purposes for which we collected or sold California Information.

The categories of third parties with which we shared California Information. 

You can submit a request to us for the following additional information: 

The categories of third parties to which we’ve sold California Information, and the category or categories of California Information sold to each

The categories of California Information that we’ve shared with service providers who provide services for us, like processing your bill.   

To exercise your CCPA rights with request to this information, contact us at info@beta.isportz.co. 

Your Right to Request the Deletion of California Information. Upon your request, we will delete the California Information we have collected about you, except for situations when that information is necessary for us to: provide you with a product or service that you requested; perform a contract we entered into with you; maintain the functionality or security of our systems; comply with or exercise rights provided by the law; or use the information internally in ways that are compatible with the context in which you provided the information to us, or that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us. To exercise your right to request the deletion of your California Information or to tell us not to sell your California Information, contact us at info@beta.isportz.co. If you exercise any of these rights explained in this section of the Privacy Policy, we will not disadvantage you. These requests are generally free.  You will not be denied or charged different prices or rates for goods or services or provided a different level or quality of goods or services. Because the nature of our platform permits and encourages you to share information pertaining to college sports recruiting, the deletion of certain information may negate the effectiveness of certain services.
