We at EMG Holdings, LLC d/b/a TheWagerLeagues (“TheWagerLeagues” or “we”) recognize the importance of protecting your privacy as you visit and use our website at www.thewagerleagues.com (the “Site”). This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the information that may be collected at the Site, the choices you can make about our use of your personal information and how we protect your personal information.
Scope and Terms Used
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site and the online activities conducted on the Site by TheWagerLeagues. As used in this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information that may be used to identify a specific individual, such as name, e-mail address, phone number or credit card number. “Aggregate information” refers to combined demographic information which has been derived from personal information but which cannot be used to identify any individual.
Information We Collect and How We Use It
You can visit the Site and see what we do there without providing personal information. However, to participate in our leagues or other interactive features, you will need to provide personal information.
In addition to our General Uses listed below, we use the personal information you provide only for purposes consistent with the reason you provide it such as:
Registration / Leagues: By registering as a user, you will be able to participate in leagues, set up your own leagues, “friend,” “follow” and communicate with other users, leave feedback or otherwise take part in the interactive features of the Site. As part of registration, we collect your name and e-mail address. You are permitted to post a picture to represent yourself as you set up your Profile. In addition, as part of setting up and paying for a league or other participation in Site activities, we additionally collect your time zone, credit card number, expiration date, and full billing address. We use all this information in order to confirm your registration, carry out your transactions on the Site, pay for your transactions on the Site and for other Site-related communications. We collect your time zone in order to allow correct posting of times to your display as you participate in leagues. We will send you updates about TheWagerLeagues and the Site and important messages about your account (“Transactional Messages”), as well as marketing messages and special offers (“Promotional Messages”) (but see below under “Your Choices” for how to discontinue receipt of Promotional Messages). We may ask for other information about you in order to customize your website experience or perform other internal analyses to improve our services or the Site. We indicate at the time of collection which information is mandatory and which information is optional to provide.
Information Requests: We may ask you to provide personal information in order to allow us to respond to your requests for information or other requests made over the Site.
Your Postings to Your Profile / Forums / League Entries / Feedback: Subject to the Terms of Use, you are able to post in your Profile, forums and other areas of the Site any information that you wish. We review and monitor this information, but we do not collect or use this information for any specific purpose other than to administer the Site.
Contests and Surveys: In addition to your name, address and other identifying information, we may ask you to provide other information about your household and interests if you choose to participate in any contests or surveys offered on the Site or to our users. You can always choose not to participate. We use this information to administer the contest or survey, and to analyze and improve our Site and product offerings. We may also make aggregate information from such contests and surveys available to third parties.
Web Logs / Non-personal Information. Like most standard website servers, we log IP addresses (a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet) in order to improve security, analyze trends and administer the Site. We may track your movement within the Site, the pages from which you were referred, access times and browser types. This information may include the browser you are using, the internet address from which you linked to our Site, the unique IP address of the computer you used to access our Site, and usage and browsing habits. We use this information in the aggregate to gauge the effectiveness of our Site, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, tailor the Site to match your computer settings and gather broad demographic information. We may also use personal information we collect through web logs to send you targeted offers and other communications.
