1. Your Personal Information.

When we say, “Personal Information,” we mean any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Personal Information falls within certain categories, for example:

a. Identifiers (e.g., name, email, telephone number, address, username);
b. Sensitive Personal Information (e.g., government identification number; precise geolocation; racial or ethnic origin; religious beliefs; health information; contents of messages when we are not the recipient; in some cases, information about a known child);
c. Legally protected information (e.g., race, citizenship, marital status, sex);
d. Employment-related information (e.g., current or past employment);
e. Non-public educational information, including information protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. § 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99);
f. Biometrics (e.g., DNA, face/voice prints, health data) and audio, electronic, visual, thermal, or olfactory information;
g. Commercial information (e.g., products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies);
h. Internet or other similar activity (e.g., browsing history; content interactions); and
i. Inferences drawn from Personal Information to create a profile about preferences, characteristics, trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, and aptitudes.

Not all information about you is legally protected as Personal Information. Depending on where you live, publicly available information, aggregated information (meaning data summaries or reports with Personal Information removed), employment-related information, or anonymized information (that cannot be linked back to you as an individual) may not qualify as “Personal Information.”

2. Personal Information is collected from you, the Team (sometimes), and your content interactions on the Services.

Ladies Playbook is careful to only collect, use, retain, and disclose Personal Information with your consent, for a legitimate interest, or as required or permitted by law. We process Personal Information as adequate and relevant to the specific, express purposes stated for collection or as reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide you with the Services. Over the last 12 months, we have collected the following categories of Personal Information:

a. Your registration and use of the Services. When you register as a User, we will collect identifiers like your name, username, email and password, your player’s name, and Team. You may also optionally provide your address, social media channels, and your player’s previous teams, as well as answers to our survey questions. LP collects this information with your consent, and we use it to verify you as a User associated with the Team and to provide you with access to the Services.
b. The Team. The Team will provide LP with a list of significant others of players who are eligible to access the Services as Users and their email addresses. We collect this information as a service provider to the Team and we use it to send you a registration link and to verify you as an approved User and grant you access to the Services.
c. Your content interactions on the Services. LP may use cookies and related technologies to understand User interactions with the Services and to provide and improve functionality. Most of the data collected is technical only and does not qualify as Personal Information. Read more about this data under Section 3 Will there be cookies?
