Complete Privacy Policy:
WinSportingGoods.com® has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: WinSportingGoods.com. For ease of use on our site, we only use cookies to store your email address, so you don't have to enter it each time you wish to enter a given contest.

Our site's contest registration form(s) requires users to give us a minimum of their email address as contact information. We only use customer contact information from the registration form to send a user information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners, assuming the user has opted-in to receive such information. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary, such as contacting a winner of a contest. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.
This site contains links to other sites. Since WinSportingGoods.com does not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to their individual privacy policies and customs. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
Our site (at times) uses product request forms for customers to request information, products, and services for our advertisers.

We use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when and if necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

Public Forums
This site (at times) makes chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
Security
This site has industry standard security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Back-ups of the site are done continually in order to have copies of the site at all times. Firewalls are in place to safeguard confidentiality.

This site gives users the following options for changing and modifying information previously provided.
Following registration, you can review and change the information you submitted during registration including your email address. If you change your registration information, we may keep track of your old and your new information. We believe it is necessary to retain in our file information you have changed in order to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce the terms and conditions established for the use of our Web Sites. Further, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical constraints and the fact that we back up our systems. Therefore, you should expect that all of your personally identifiable information that you provide us will be kept in our databases.
Our Disclosure of Your Information
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example (but without limitation), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of some activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Therefore, although we believe we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private.
The following describes some of the additional ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed.
Advertisers. We do aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information to advertisers and for other marketing and promotional purposes.
Winners' Lists. Certain states require that the sponsor of promotions to report the names of all winners. Other states require that we maintain winner information and provide that information to those who make appropriate inquiries for winners information. When information about winners is called for, we hope to be able to only disclose winners' names and a reference to the city and state of residence.
Suppliers and Other Service Providers. From time to time, we may use third party Suppliers and Service Providers to facilitate our services. For example, we may “outsource” the operation of one or more aspects of our site to a Supplier or Service Provider who performs services according to our requirements. In some instances, the Service Provider may collect information directly from you (such as the situation where we ask a Service Provider to notify potential promotion winners, determine their eligibility and deliver prizes to them.)
WinSportingGoods.com Corporate Family Companies and Joint Ventures. We will share much of our data, including personally identifiable information about you, within our corporate family. To the extent that these entities are getting access to your information, they will treat it at least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other users. We usually request our corporate business affiliates and joint venture partners to follow privacy practices no less protective of all users than our practices described in our Privacy Policy.
Corporate Acquisitions and Mergers. As population grows and technology changes, it is difficult for any business to stand still. Success brings new customers and also new competitors. Motivated employees who contribute to the success of a business want increased compensation, promotions and new challenges. Investors want to realize a worthwhile return on their investments. For these and other reasons, most businesses want and need to grow. But growth also creates some uncertainties – will a growth strategy focus on internal expansion or growth by acquisition? And, if acquisition is a viable strategy, will WinSportingGoods.com by the “acquirer” or the “acquired?” Because these future developments are, by their very nature remote and uncertain at this time, it may be that the ownership of much of our data, including personally identifiable information about you, will change over time as a result of acquisitions and mergers.
Other Information Collectors
Except as otherwise mentioned, this Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties, on or off the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. To the extent that we use third party advertisers, they adhere to their own privacy customs and policies. Since WinSportingGoods.com does not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of that third party. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others in both the “bricks and mortar” and online worlds. The confidentiality of your personal information can be lost by disclosure to third parties.
Termination of This Policy
The terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy will continue until we terminate them, which we may do at any time without notice to you.
