Privacy Policy
INTRODUCTION
SportscouchTV (“We” or “Us”) respects the privacy of our users (“User” or “You”). This Privacy Policy explains how We collect, use, disclose, and safeguard Your information when You visit our website sportscouchtv.com, including any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the “Site”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If You do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. The revised version will be identified by an updated "Revised" date and will become effective as soon as it is made accessible. It is Your responsibility to regularly review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about any updates. Your ongoing use of the Site indicates Your acceptance of these changes.
COOKIES USAGE
Cookies are small data files often used as anonymous unique identifiers. They are sent to Your browser from the Site You visit and stored on Your computer's hard drive. Our Site utilizes these "cookies" to gather information and enhance our Service. You can choose to accept or decline these cookies and be notified when a cookie is being sent to Your computer. However, opting to refuse our cookies may limit Your access to certain parts of our Service.
COLLECTION AND USE OF “PII” (PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION) ON THE SITE
We collect two types of information from visitors to our Site: personally identifiable information and pseudonymous non-personally identifiable information. Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) is information that may be used to identify an individual and includes email address, telephone number, or postal address. Pseudonymous non-personally identifiable information (e.g., IP address or a mobile ad ID) (“Non-PII”) doesn’t enable us to identify anyone but may help recognize a particular browser or device over time. Both PII and Non-PII are considered personal data and/or personal information in many places. We believe that maintaining the distinction between what We consider directly identifiable and what We consider to be pseudonymous can be helpful in describing our privacy practices but recognize that some privacy laws don’t distinguish between the two types of data.
Personally identifiable information (PII) is only collected when you choose to provide it to SportscouchTV, such as in an email or by completing a form on the Site. This PII may include: name, company name, address, telephone number, or email address. This information is only used by SportscouchTV to contact You in response to Your inquiry, conduct business activities with You, provide customer service, and offer new products and services to existing and prospective customers. While SportscouchTV may use the information it collects to notify You of necessary changes to the Site, new services/offerings, and unique opportunities, You can contact SportscouchTV at any time if you do not wish to receive these notices by emailing SportscouchTV at legal@sportscouchtv.com.
COLLECTION AND USE OF “NON-PII” (NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION)
SportscouchTV also collects pseudonymous personal information (“Non-PII”) from visitors to this Site. Non-PII is information that cannot by itself be used to identify a particular person or entity and may include Your IP host address, pages viewed, browser type, Internet browsing and usage habits, Internet Service Provider, domain name, the time/date of Your visit to this Site, the referring URL, and Your computer’s operating system.
CHILDREN INFORMATION
SportscouchTV is respectful and keenly aware of the privacy rights of children. SportscouchTV’s products and services are not intended for persons under 18 years of age, and the Site is not directed to children.

SportscouchTV uses appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of all information, including the use of passwords, firewalls, encryption, and remote servers, and routinely evaluates our practices to identify security threats or opportunities for the improvement of our services. No transmission of information is guaranteed to be completely secure. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise data security.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY
While we strive to ensure the security of Your data, it's important to note that no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, the transmission of any information to Us is done at Your own risk. Once We receive Your transmission, We take reasonable steps to secure it on our systems. We employ secure server software (SSL) and firewalls to safeguard Your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, it is essential to understand that these measures do not provide an absolute guarantee against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, and We cannot warrant or ensure such security.
You can contribute to the security of Your information by taking simple precautions, such as preventing unauthorized access to Your login information and signing off Your account when you finish using Your computer.
In the event of a security systems breach, SportscouchTV will make efforts to notify You electronically, allowing You to take necessary protective steps. By using the Site or providing personal information to Us, You consent to electronic communication regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues related to Your use of the Site. SportscouchTV may display a notice on the Site if a security breach occurs. Additionally, We may send an email to the address You provided under such circumstances.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Your location may grant you specific legal rights concerning the personal information we gather and process about you. These rights can encompass accessing, deleting, and correcting personal information. Additionally, you might have the right to opt out of activities categorized as "sales" or "sharing," as defined by particular privacy laws. Note that these rights could be restricted; for example, if fulfilling Your request would disclose personal information about another person, violate the rights of a third party (including ours), or conflict with legal obligations.

We will retain the personal data You provide for the duration necessary to fulfill the intended purpose of collection and ascertain any potential liabilities associated with that purpose. Following the completion of the service and to adhere to legally stipulated deadlines, the data will be securely stored but blocked from processing. We will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent any form of processing, including visualization, making the data accessible only to authorized legal entities such as judges, courts, public prosecutors, or public administrations. This is done to address any legal responsibilities that may arise. Once the mandated legal retention period concludes, the data will be permanently and securely destroyed.
