General

 

At BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY, we know you care about your personal information, so we have prepared this privacy policy (our “Privacy Policy”) to explain how we collect, use and share it. By using or accessing the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings set forth in the terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”), located at (link to terms). We may update our Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we do this and the changes are material, we will post a notice that we have made changes to this Privacy Policy on the Website for at least 7 days after the changes are made, and we will indicate the date these terms were last revised at the bottom of the Privacy Policy. Any revisions to this Privacy Policy will become effective the earlier of (i) the end of that 7-day period or (ii) the first time you access or use the Service after any such changes.

 

Information We Collect

 

When you use BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY you provide us with two types of information: (i) information you submit via the Service and (ii) information regarding your use of the Service collected by us as you interact with the Service.

 

When you enter the Website, we collect your browser type and your IP address (a unique address that identifies your computer on the Internet). In addition, we store certain information from your browser using “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you certain features available on the Website (e.g., customized delivery of information).

 

Through the registration process you may provide us with your name and email address, hometown, credit card information, and other information that may be requested during the registration process.

 

When you use the Service you may submit information and content to your profile, generate Activity Data through engaging in educational activities on the Service, or send messages and otherwise transmit information to other users. We store this information so that we can provide you the Service and offer personalized features.

 

We do not share your personal information with third-parties unless it is necessary to offer the Service or required by law (see below for specifics).

 

Use of Information Obtained by BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY

 

We may use your contact information to send you notifications regarding new services offered by BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY that we think you may find valuable. BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY may also send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the Service. BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY does communicate with users who subscribe to our services on a regular basis via e-mail. For example BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY may use your email address to confirm a request, send you notice of payment, to send you information about changes to our products and services, and to send notices and other disclosures as required by law. Generally, users cannot opt out of these communications, but they will be primarily informational in nature rather than promotional.

 

However, BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY may provide you with the opportunity to exercise an opt-out choice if you do not want to receive other types of communication from us, such as emails or updates regarding certain promotional information.

 

Paying members are automatically enrolled in the “Baseball Rules of the Week” email sent by Baseball Rules Academy. Other visitors to the site may opt-in to receive this email by providing their name and email address. BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY may send other relevant announcements and offers.

 

Profile information is used by BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the Service and to be presented to other users. In some cases, other users may be able to supplement your profile, including by submitting comments (which can be deleted by you).

 

Forum usage: Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through the Services, this information may be collected and used by others.

Sharing Your Personally-Identifiable Information with Third Parties

 

BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY shares your personally-identifiable information only when it is reasonably necessary to offer the Service, legally required, or permitted by you.

 

We may provide personally-identifiable information to service providers who help us bring you the Service, such as hosting the Service at a co-location facility or sending email updates. In connection with these operations, our service providers may have access to personally-identifiable information for a limited time. When we utilize service providers for processing any personally-identifiable information, we implement reasonable contractual protections limiting the use of that personally-identifiable information to the provision of services to BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY.

 

BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third-parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

 

We may be required to disclose personally-identifiable information in response to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. Additionally, we may share account or other personally-identifiable information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Service or using the BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY name, or to prevent imminent harm. This may include sharing personally-identifiable information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.

 

BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY will share the complete and accurate results of BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY achievement tests with such institutions, including universities, potential employers, or other third parties, (collectively, “Score Recipients”) as you specify when you finish an examination. We will never share examination results with any party without your direction, except that anonymized examination results may be used by BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY and its partners to improve the examination and for research and analysis. We will not share your User ID with any Score Recipients, except with your consent upon initiation of a dispute by a Score Recipient.

 

If the ownership of all or substantially all of the BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY business, or individual business units or assets owned by BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY that are related to the Service, were to change, your personally-identifiable information may be transferred to the new owner. In any such transfer of information, your personally-identifiable information would remain subject to this section.

 

Updating or Deleting Your Personally-Identifiable Information

 

BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY acknowledges the individual’s right to access their personal data. Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY will provide you ways of updating or deleting the account- unless BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY must maintain that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating personal information, BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY may ask you to verify your identity before acting upon your request.

 

You have at all times the right to delete your account with BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY by following the instructions available through the Service. After your account is deleted we will retain aggregate or anonymous data collected through the Service, including Activity Data, which may be used by Baseball Rules Academy and shared with third parties in any manner.

 

Children’s Personal Information

 

We recognize the particular importance of protecting privacy where children are involved. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 13. If a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information online, we ask that a parent or guardian e-mail (support@nullbaseballrulesacademy.com).

 

California Privacy Rights

 

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 entitles residents of the State of California to request from a business, with whom that resident has an established business relationship, certain information regarding the types of personal information the business shares with third parties for direct marketing purposes by such third party and the identities of the third parties with whom the business has shared such information during the immediately preceding calendar year.

Links

 

The Service may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage users to be aware when they leave the Service to read the privacy statements of other websites that collect personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY via the Service. If you are using a third-party website or service and you allow such a third-party access to your user content you do so at your own risk.

 

Information Security

 

BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY has implemented administrative and technical safeguards it believes are sufficient to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your User ID, User Photo, access credentials and BASEBALL RULES ACADEMY Course Quiz results. However, we believe that a determined attacker with sufficient resources could defeat those safeguards and may, as a result, gain access to the information we seek to protect. You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

The Service is not designed to respond to “do not track” signals sent by some browsers.
