Our goal is to become your favorite Baseball Scoring Site by
providing the information, services, and product offerings that
are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, BaseBallScoring.com
must collect information so we can understand what makes you
different from its millions of other unique users. While you are
not required to register for any services on BaseBallScoring.com,
some Products and Services may not function properly or may not be
accessible unless you do.
Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous
or personally identifiable.
- Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be
tied back to a specific individual. For example,
BaseBallScoring.com collects some information each time a
visitor comes to the site so we can improve the overall
quality of the visitor's online experience.
BaseBallScoring.com collects the visitor's IP address (e.g.,
whether the user is logged on from ibm.com or aol.com),
referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the last Web page
visited by a user before clicking over to the
BaseBallScoring.com site), and browser and platform type
(e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). You do not
have to register with BaseBallScoring.com before we can
collect this anonymous information.
- Personally identifiable information
refers to data that
tells us specifically who you are, such as your name and postal
address, which may be collected in addition to the anonymous
data described above. BaseBallScoring.com collects personal
information in the following ways from different parts of its
network of Web sites:
| |
- BaseBallScoring.com Registration: When
you register to use one or more sites on BaseBallScoring.com,
you provide BaseBallScoring.com with your name, postal
address, ZIP Code, email address, birth date, gender,
telephone number, occupation, marital status and other
information. While not all of this data is required
for our services to function, we are better able to
customize your experience if you volunteer complete
and accurate information. Users who complete the
registration process are given a BaseBallScoring.com
ID and can take full advantage of the many offerings
across BaseBallScoring.com.
- Correspondence: If you contact BaseBallScoring.com,
we may keep a record of that correspondence. We do not
collect any email addresses of those who communicate
with BaseBallScoring.com via email. We use the
information provided so that we may respond to the
email.
|
When you use Products and Services designed
to post or transmit content, that content is necessarily stored in
our computers for varying periods of time and associated with the
registration information for your account. BaseBallScoring.com
will not use or disclose such content except as described in this
Privacy Policy.
When you register for a service within BaseBallScoring.com, that
information is generally collected and maintained solely by BaseBallScoring.com
unless specifically stated otherwise at the point of collection.
If data is collected and/or maintained by any company other than
BaseBallScoring.com, we will tell you at the point of collection.
If you do not want to share your information with that company,
you can choose not to use that service.
Be aware that while BaseBallScoring.com hopes that all third
parties involved adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of
our users, BaseBallScoring.com Privacy Policy does not cover
third-party data collection practices and BaseBallScoring.com does
not assume any responsibility for any actions of third parties.
In addition to the personally identifiable information that
BaseBallScoring.com actively collects when you register, we also
collect anonymous information passively using cookies. This
technology plays an important role in making the Internet work,
but there is much confusion among Internet users about what
cookies are and how they are used.
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique
identification number that is transferred from a Web site to the
hard drive of your computer so that the site administrator may
identify your computer and passively track its activities on the
Web site. This unique number identifies your Web browser to our
computer system whenever you visit one of the sites in BaseBallScoring.com.
A cookie will not allow a Web site to learn any personally
identifiable information (such as your real name and address) that
you have not otherwise disclosed.
Cookies allow BaseBallScoring.com to automatically remember your
Web browser when you visit our Network of Web sites. To help serve
you better, BaseBallScoring.com generally uses cookies to
- Allow us to deliver products and services more
efficiently. By storing certain registration and
preference information on cookies or associating cookies with
registration, preference or profile information stored on our
computers, we can deliver products and services that use such
information more quickly and efficiently for more users. This
information is normally saved in an encrypted form that only
BaseBallScoring.com can interpret.
- Prevent others from using your account. On some
BaseBallScoring.com sites, cookies help us efficiently
determine that only one user is logged on under the same
member name at a time.
- Measure statistics such as audience size and traffic
patterns. This information is only collected in aggregate form
and will not be linked to your personally identifiable
information.
You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you
choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the
interactive features of the sites or services you visit.
The use of cookies is an industry standard, and they are currently
used on most major Web sites. It is possible to adjust your Web
browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your
hard drive, or to refuse cookies altogether. While
BaseBallScoring.com does not require you to use cookies, keep in
mind that certain sites and services will not function properly if
you set your browser to refuse all cookies.
Any personally identifiable information you share with
BaseBallScoring.com when registering for Products and Services at
any of our Network sites is maintained and accessible only by
BaseBallScoring.com unless specifically stated otherwise.
BaseBallScoring.com requests information from its users so that
users can enjoy customized experiences across BaseBallScoring.com.
We can also better prepare future content based on your interests.
The following are examples of how BaseBallScoring.com may use the
information it collects:
- BaseBallScoring.com also uses the aggregate data to perform
statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and
behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure user
demographics and interests regarding specific areas of BaseBallScoring.com,
and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. We do
not track what pages individual users are browsing, but rather
how well each page performs overall. Without such data, we
would not know which parts of BaseBallScoring.com are the most
popular, and we would not be able to change and update the
content and services appropriately.
- BaseBallScoring.com sometimes uses an individual registered
user's data to "pre-populate" online forms that are
displayed for the purpose of collecting additional individual
data by BaseBallScoring.com.
- BaseBallScoring.com may, from time to time, use your
information to contact you about changes or enhancements to
Products and Services on BaseBallScoring.com, issues regarding
your account, or BaseBallScoring.com Terms and Conditions
violations or suspensions.
- Subscription Customers: Your credit card information
is used to collect your recurrent subscription fees for
BaseBallScoring.com, or other pay services.
BaseBallScoring.com does not share personal information with
anyone outside the BaseBallScoring.com network. However,
BaseBallScoring.com, will disclose information about individual
users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement
agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to
subpoena, court order, or other legal process. In matters
involving a danger to personal or public safety,
BaseBallScoring.com may voluntarily provide information to
appropriate governmental authorities.
The BaseBallScoring.com provides its registered users the ability
to access and edit the personal information in their user
profiles.
You can opt out of sharing your personally identifiable
information with any third-party service or content providers in
any areas of BaseBallScoring.com by choosing not to use such
areas.
Also, we offer you the ability to opt-out of receiving
BaseBallScoring.com updates and information about new services.
This is done at the point of initial collection of information and
during the editing or updating process. The instructions to opt
out of most BaseBallScoring.com email newsletters and direct mail
communications are the same as the instructions for editing user
information profiles.
In addition, all BaseBallScoring.com newsletters and direct
email communications have easy-to-follow unsubscribe instructions
at the bottom of each email.
If you have a question about the BaseBallScoring.com opt-out
process that is not answered here, please send an email to Privacy@BaseBallScoring.com
The BaseBallScoring.com has security measures in place to attempt
to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user
data under our control. BaseBallScoring.com uses physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any personally
identifiable data stored on its computers. Only authorized
employees have access to the information you provide us. Any
particularly sensitive information, such as a credit card number
used to purchase premium services is encrypted prior to
transmission.
While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data
will not occur, we take many precautions to prevent such
unfortunate occurrences.
You are ultimately responsible for the security of your
BaseBallScoring.com ID and password. Please take care when using
and storing them. BaseBallScoring.com recommends that you do not
divulge your password to anyone. You should log out of your
browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others
cannot access your personal information and correspondence,
especially if several people have access to your personal computer
or you are using a computer in a public place like a library or
Internet cafe.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998
provides safeguards to protect children who use the Internet by
regulating the online collection of personal information from
children under the age of 13. Because of these safeguards,
children under 13 are not able to access or use all Products and
Services on BaseBallScoring.com.
Know the risks.
Meeting new people in an online community (chat room, forum,
newsgroup, message board, Web page, etc.) is one of the best
things about the Internet, but you should always be careful about
disclosing personal information such as an actual name, member
name, email address, and so on. This information may be collected
and used by others within the online community to send unsolicited
email messages from other parties, outside BaseBallScoring.com.
Some of the messages you receive may be useful to you, but some
may not. In an effort to curtail unsolicited email,
BaseBallScoring.com does not sell or give away email address of
our users.

The BaseBallScoring.com will update this policy from time to time
so please check back periodically. When such changes occur, you
will see the word "Updated" next to the Privacy Policy
link on the front page of each site on BaseBallScoring.com. If at
any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in
a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we will prominently post such changes prior to implementing them.
