| The
Hockey Net Inc. respects the privacy of all of its users
and is committed to protecting such privacy in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
Hockey Team and Hockey Association Websites contain
personal and private information about teams, children,
minors, and adults. It is very important that the individual
website administrators diligently protect the private
nature of the information contained within the websites
under their control. The Hockey Net Inc. provides security
access control tools intended for use by individual
website administrators to selectively restrict access
to the websites under their control. The Hockey Net
Inc. strongly urges individual website administrators
to permit access to confidential and personal information
contained within the websites under their control, to
only those individuals they know personally and whom
they believe will respect the confidential nature of
the information contained therein. The tools to be used
to protect the confidential information contained within
the websites under your control is available in the
ACCESS CONTROL section of the Hockey Team Website Content
Management Site and the Hockey Association Website Content
Management Site. If you are unsure of how to apply these
tools properly, please contact The Hockey Net Inc. immediately.
This Privacy Policy explains The Hockey Net Inc.'s and
its subsidiaries' treatment of your personally identifiable
information collected in connection with your activities
on or related to all Hockey Net websites referencing
this Privacy Policy (the " Hockey Net Sites")
and all services made available on the Hockey Net Sites
(collectively, unless noted otherwise, the "Hockey
Net Services"). This Privacy Policy also explains
how you can ask questions and make suggestions about
our privacy practices and review and update your personal
information.
We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and
to check back periodically as this Privacy Policy may
change form time to time. Please note that this Privacy
Policy does not apply to the practices of companies
or websites which are not owned or controlled by The
Hockey Net Inc.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
In the course of operating The Hockey Net Inc. Services,
we may collect two types of information about our users:
Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
"Personal Information"
is personally identifiable information, such as your
name, address, email address, birth date and gender.
Personal Information is collected by us when you choose
to provide it to us when registering for a Hockey Net
Service, such as when you choose to subscribe to a Hockey
Net Service, enter a Hockey Net promotion or choose
to receive a Hockey Net newsletter. In addition, if
you choose to contact any of our customer service representatives,
we may keep a record of that correspondence so that
we may fully address the subject matter. We may also
receive Personal Information from our business partners
and other third parties, provided that such third parties
confirm to us that you have permitted them to share
such information.
Business contact information such as the name, title,
business address, email address or telephone number
of a business or professional person or an employee
of an organization is not considered Personal Information.
"Non-Personal Information"
is information of an anonymous nature, such as an Internet
Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain you may have
used to access a Hockey Net Service, the type and version
of browser or operating system you may be using, and
the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate
information, such as demographic statistics of our users
(e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our
users), number of visitors and average time spent on
a Hockey Net Service, is also considered Non-Personal
Information.
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by
us in the course of operating the Hockey Net Services.
For example, our Web servers may automatically collect
Non-Personal Information which is provided through your
browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon
when you choose to visit a Hockey Net Service. Non-Personal
Information is used by The Hockey Net Inc. as described
below.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information may be used by
us for the following purposes:
-
Providing you with
the Hockey Net Services and information you have
requested from us, including your use of the Hockey
Net Sites. We may from time to time use your Personal
Information to contact you about changes, enhancements
or similar notices related to the Hockey Net Services;
-
If you indicated that you were
interested in receiving offers or information from
The Hockey Net Inc. or certain of our selected sponsors
or advertisers, The Hockey Net Inc. may send you
email materials and other mailings about products
and services that we feel may be of interest to
you. If at any time you would like to end your subscription
to any such email materials, follow the directions
posted at the bottom of the email material;
-
If you enter a
contest or other promotion offered on a Hockey Net
Site, we may, under the rules of the promotion,
use your name and certain other information to administer
the promotion, such as contacting, announcing and
promoting the winners of the promotion;
-
The Hockey Net
Inc. may also use Personal Information if it has
reasonable grounds to believe the information could
be useful when investigating a contravention of
a federal, provincial or foreign law or in order
to protect or defend a legal interest.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will not sell or rent your Personal Information to
anyone.
We will only disclose your Personal Information to third
parties:
-
Where you have specifically given
us your consent to disclose your Personal Information
for a designated purpose;
-
Who are acting on our behalf
as our agents, suppliers or service providers, solely
to enable us to more efficiently provide you with
the Hockey Net Services. Such entities act under
strict contractual controls, requiring them to maintain
the confidentiality of all such Personal Information
and to use such information solely for purposes
related to the provision of the Hockey Net Services;
-
As may be set out in the Terms
and Conditions applicable to a Hockey Net Service,
to facilitate the provision of such Hockey Net Service,
such as fulfilling legal requirements;
-
As required by law, including
by an order of any court, institution or body with
jurisdiction or authority to compel the production
of information, or in order to protect or defend
a legal interest; or
-
In connection with a The Hockey
Net Inc. corporate re-organization, merger or amalgamation
with another entity, or a sale of all or a substantial
portion of the assets of The Hockey Net Inc. provided
that the Personal Information disclosed continues
to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy
Policy by the entity acquiring the information.
LINKS
TO OTHER SITES AND ADVERTISEMENTS
A Hockey Net Service may contain links to other websites
and services. While we try to link only to sites and
services that share our high standards and respect
for privacy, please understand that we are not responsible
for the content of, or the privacy practices employed
by, other companies or websites. This Privacy Policy
applies only to the Hockey Net Services referencing
this Privacy Policy.
The majority of the advertisements which are displayed
in connection with the Hockey Net Services are served
through reputable third party advertisement serving
partner(s). If you would like to know more about what
Non-Personal Information is collected and how information
is used by our partner or about its "opt-out"
procedures, please read the appropriate section below.
SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important
to us. The Hockey Net Inc. takes technical, contractual,
administrative, and physical security steps to protect
Personal Information that you provide to us. We instruct
our employees with access to your Personal Information
that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles
set forth in this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable
to each specific business.
In certain areas, such as when you provide credit
card information to us, we work to help protect the
security of your credit card information during transmission
by using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
encryption technology.
You can help protect the security of your Personal
Information as well. For instance, never give out
your password, since this is what is used to access
your Account or Registration Information. Also remember
to log out of your account and close your browser
window when you finish using a Hockey Net Service
or surfing the Web, so that other people using the
same computer won't have access to your information.

POLICY
The Hockey Net Inc. may from time to time change its
Privacy Policy as new Hockey Net Services are added
or old ones changed. Changes will be effective when
notice of such change is posted at a Hockey Net Site.
Please check this Privacy Policy regularly for updates
by checking the date of "Last Update" at
the top of this document.

you.
