Privacy Policy

Sports Matters is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read the following statement to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of the Sports Matters Web site.

Sports Matters does not collect personally identifying information about any individual Sports Matters Web site user except when knowingly provided by such individual.

Sports Matters uses a third party to collect information about a site user's IP address, browser type and referrer by reading this information from the user's browser (information provided by every user's browser). This information is collected in a database and used - in an aggregated, anonymous manner - in our internal analysis of traffic patterns within our Web site. This information is automatically logged by most Web sites.

Our primary goal in collecting user information is to enhance your experience on our Web site. To develop content targeted to your interests, we use aggregated user information to determine which areas of our Web site users prefer based upon traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but instead how well each page or content area performs overall.

Sports Matters may disclose information about our users when we believe, in good faith, that the disclosure is required by law.

Please be aware that Sports Matters sponsors, advertisers or Web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those parties and Web sites linked to Sports Matters are not covered by this privacy statement.

Kids under 13: Do not send any information about yourself to us - including information such as your name, address, or e-mail address. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible.

If you have any questions regarding our privacy statement, please feel free to contact us.

This statement may change from time to time, so please check back periodically.
