Privacy Policy
PRIVACY POLICY – SPORTS PROFILES AND CELEBRITY SWEAT ® |
The Web sites, SPPSPORTS.COM, CELEBRITYSWEAT.COM and CSWEAT.COM are owned and operated by Sports Profiles. (“SPP”) a subsidiary of Profile Network, Inc. SPP and Celebrity Sweat are collecting personally identifiable information (“PII”) and will have the use of PII submitted to their sites and to our fulfillment center and call centers in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy describes how SPP and Celebrity Sweat use and share PII and other “non-PII” information obtained from and about individuals on this site. From time to time, we may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the law, self-regulatory practices, new technology, and/or features of the sites. Therefore, all users should review this Privacy Policy periodically so they are up to date on our most current policies and practices. We are committed to providing and maintaining a safe and secure environment on the Internet for all users.
Our Philosophy: We believe that we can provide an exciting and entertaining experience for users without requiring them to submit more than a minimal amount of PII. Most activities for users on our sites can be performed without the participant supplying PII. Instead users may be asked to provide non-PII (that is, information by which they cannot be personally identified) such as first name, age, gender, city, and/or state of residence. We never require anyone to disclose more PII than is reasonably necessary for them to participate in a given activity.
Collection of Your PII and Other Personal Information: Currently, no registration or input of PII is required just to visit the site. Registration or input of PII may be required to participate in e-commerce, sweepstakes, memberships, contests and promotional activities. From time to time, we may also ask you to provide us with non-PII information. We use this information for internal purposes, or for creating reports for ourselves and third party advertisers and partners. Such reports might read, for example: “25,000 users clicked on the banner ad, and of those who clicked, 40% were over the age of 25, and 20% lived in California.” We may use PII for entry in a sweepstakes, contest or promotional activity, to notify you that you are a winner, for prize delivery and to ensure that we comply with all applicable laws. We will inform you at the time we are collecting the PII that such collection is a requirement of entering the sweepstakes or contest, and you will only be allowed to participate if you expressly “opt-in” to such information collection.
Purchases from our sites or from our call centers and fulfillment centers require disclosure of credit card information and information about the name and address of the person receiving the purchases (whether it’s the purchaser him/herself or as intended as a gift to another person). Credit card information may be subject to verification by the issuing Credit Card Company or other company. Sales and shipping records will also be maintained. Unless you give us permission at the time we collect such information (i.e., “opt-in”), however, we will not use this information for any purpose except as described above to fulfill the purchase order.
We may also collect PII at other times, for example, through user surveys; but this information will not be used for any purpose other than as disclosed when you submit it. When we collect PII from you, we will give you the opportunity to “opt-in” allowing us to use your PII for other purposes. If and only if you “opt-in”, we may use your PII for the following purposes: (1) personalize and enhance our sites; (2) send personalized information about our sites to you via email, (3) send you advertising or promotional material from us, our advertisers or business partners; (4) provide your PII to our business partners for their use in advertising or marketing; (5) contact you for feedback regarding us, our advertisers or business partners via email surveys. But, if you choose not to “opt-in,” we will not use your PII for such purposes.
Only if you have “opted-in” as described above, we may also use your PII to provide a report to our advertisers or business partners that tells them who (individually) responded to a particular offer. For example, we might send you an email that offers you a discount on a particular item or service. If you click on that email or accept an offer or discount contained in it, we may provide the advertiser or business partner with the PII necessary to provide you with that discount.
If you chose not to “opt-in,” we may still use your PII for internal purposes, or as may be necessary to administer the site or comply with applicable law. Unless you “opt-in,” SPP will not use your PII to send you emails or advertising, nor will we share your PII with third parties, except for their respective successors and assigns or as otherwise stated in this Policy. If you later wish to change your decision regarding “opting-in” you can email us at info@sppsports.com.

Such feedback is used for internal purposes only and any PII that is accidentally submitted is deleted. Such feedback helps us in our quest to provide the most compelling activities, content and selection.
