I. Introduction
School of the Legends, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company ("SOTL", "we" or "us") operates this website and service offering. SOTL is a unique social environment where fans, student athletes, youth coaches, parents, and others connect daily with thousands of current and former NFL players from different teams and eras in professional football. As the largest online community of NFL players, SOTL enables registered users ("Fan", "Athlete," "Coach," "Coach Mom & Dad") to directly interact with some of their favorite NFL players ("Legends"), past and present, and keep up with those players' activities on the field and away from the game (for the purposes of the SOTL Terms & Conditions of Use and SOTL Privacy Policy, all Fans, Athletes, Coaches, and Legends will be collectively referred to as "User" or "you"). In addition to the unparalleled social atmosphere provided to Users at schoolofthelegends.com ("SOTL Website"), the site features high-definition video training courses taught by Legends for every position on the football field.
To be able to do this, and to offer you the products and services available on the SOTL Website, we will request some information from you and automatically collect information about your use of the SOTL website and the SOTL Services (both as defined in the SOTL Terms and Conditions of Use). Further, SOTL will request information from other third-party services if such services are activated via SOTL. This policy (the "SOTL Privacy Policy" or "Privacy Policy") describes our online privacy practices and what personal information we may collect from you and what we will and will not do with that information. This Privacy Policy applies to the services offered by SOTL, including any SOTL-branded URL (the "SOTL Website"), the SOTL social networking service, SOTL mobile services, and any other features, content, or applications offered from time to time by SOTL in connection with the SOTL Website (collectively, the "SOTL Services").
II. Personal Information Collected/Provided
When you sign up for a SOTL account ("User Profile"), we will ask you to voluntarily provide your first and last name, e-mail address, zip code, and a password ("Registration Information"). In addition, you may choose to customize your User Profile by providing additional information, including, but not limited to: date of birth, education, interests, hobbies, groups with whom you are affiliated (ie. teams, schools, companies), pictures, videos, and favorite teams, favorite players, or favorite schools ("Profile Information"). Remember, any additional User Profile Information is provided at your sole discretion; none of this information is required except for the Registration Information; your e-mail address will not be made public.
When you use the SOTL Services and SOTL Website, we may automatically receive information about your use of the service and website, including personal information such as, but not limited to, media you access, searches you make, content you provide, comments or reviews you post, date and time of your requests, your Internet protocol address, performance of your network and computer, your browser type, language and identifying information, and/or your operating system. Further, should you activate any integrated services (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc.), your usernames and passwords for any such services may be saved by SOTL for the purpose of facilitating your use of those services.
One of the primary reasons people use SOTL is to share content with others. Examples include, but are not limited to, when you upload or take a photo, upload or record a video, share a link, or send someone a message. If you do not want us to store metadata associated with content you share on SOTL (such as photos), please remove the metadata before uploading the content.
We track of some of the actions you take on SOTL, such as, but not limited to, adding connections (including joining a group or adding a friend), indicating whether you "Love it" or "Hate it" about a post on another User's and/or Legend's Profile, attending an event, interacting with other Users and/or Legends, and accessing SOTL Content. In some cases, you are also taking an action when you provide information or content to us. For example, if you share a video, in addition to storing the actual content you uploaded, we might log the fact that you shared it.
SOTL may also collect certain information from you if you choose to participate in SOTL Services activities like sweepstakes, contests, and surveys because you want us to furnish you with products, services, newsletters, or information; or in connection with content or suggestions you submit to SOTL for review. We may retain the details of transactions or payments you make on SOTL. If you do not want us to store your payment source account number, please contact us via customerservice@schoolofthelegends.com.
We may also receive information about you from advertising partners and other websites so that SOTL may provide you with useful, quality advertisements and so that we may measure our advertising effectiveness.
III. Sharing and Use of Your Personal Information
We use the information we collect to try to provide a safe, efficient, and customized experience. Below, you will find details on how we do that. We will use your personal information (i) to provide the products and services that you have purchased or requested (including the display of customized content and advertising), (ii) to communicate with you concerning your account and customer service issues, (iii) to personalize and improve the SOTL Services and the SOTL Website, (iv) to ensure the technical functionality of our products and services, (v) to develop new products and services, and (vi) to protect the copyright-protected content of the SOTL Services (e.g. by limiting access to the SOTL Services content to Users with a Premium and/or Paid-for-Services account).
We may contact you with service-related announcements from time to time. You may opt out of all communications except essential updates on your User Profile's "Edit my Profile" tab. We may include content you see on SOTL in the e-mails we send to you.
By default, we make certain information, which you have posted to your User Profile, available in search results on SOTL to help your friends find you. However, you can control who can see some of this information, as well as who can find you in searches, through your privacy settings (see below). In addition to searching by User name, SOTL also allows Users and/or Legends to search for certain Profile Information in order to help connect with other Users (i.e., schools and/or professional teams where Users or Legends may have attended or played).
We generally limit search engines' access to our site. We may, however, allow them to access information set to the "public" setting (along with your name and profile picture) and your Profile Information that is visible to everyone. Again, you can change the visibility of some of your Profile Information by changing your privacy settings.
We may provide information to service providers that help us bring you the services we offer. For example, we may use third-parties to help host our website, send out e-mail updates about SOTL, remove repetitive information from our User lists, process payments, or provide search results or links (including sponsored links). These service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time, but when this occurs we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the service.
In order to respond to legal requests or to prevent harm, we may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law. This may include respecting requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, applies to users from that jurisdiction, and is consistent with generally accepted international standards. We may also share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect ourselves and you from people violating our Terms & Conditions of Use Policy. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, courts or other government entities.
IV. How to Adjust Your Privacy Settings
This section explains how your privacy settings work, and how your privacy settings affect which of your personal information is shared on SOTL. You should always consider your privacy settings before sharing information on SOTL.
SOTL is designed to make it easy for you to find and connect with others. For this reason, your name and profile picture do not have privacy settings and can be viewed by anyone. If you are uncomfortable with sharing your profile picture, you should delete it (or not add one).
Users can adjust how and what Profile Information is visible to others by customizing their privacy settings under the "Edit My Profile" tab of their User Profile to restrict which categories of content are displayed to the public, what is seen by only your approved SOTL friends, and what information is seen by you only. For your photos, videos, sports section, education section, charity section, and fun facts section, you can customize your privacy settings under "Edit My Profile" to restrict which of these categories of content are displayed to the public (the "Public" setting), which are seen by only your approved SOTL friends (the "Friends" setting), and which of these categories are seen by you only (the "Private" setting). If you decide not to select your setting at the time you post the content, your content will be shared consistent with your default privacy settings.
"Public" information is publicly available information, just like your name, profile picture, and SOTL friends. Such information may, for example, be accessed by everyone on the Internet (including people not logged into SOTL), be indexed by third-party search engines, and be imported, exported, distributed, and redistributed by us and others without privacy limitations. Such information may also be associated with you, including your name and profile picture, even outside of SOTL, such as on public search engines and when you visit other sites on the Internet. The default privacy setting for certain types of information you post on SOTL is set to "Public." You can review and change the default settings in your privacy settings. If you delete "Public" content that you posted on SOTL, we will remove it from your SOTL Profile, but have no control over its use outside of SOTL.
If you have consented to receive promotional materials (e.g., newsletters, special SOTL deal & offers, etc) or notifications from SOTL, SOTL may periodically use your email address to send you such materials related to the SOTL Services, as applicable. If you want to stop receiving such materials from SOTL, you can change your profile settings under the "E-mail Preferences" section of the "Edit My Profile" page, or follow the instructions at the bottom of each email.
As described above, SOTL may customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on the SOTL Website, or may work with outside companies to do so. Your non-personally identifiable information and/or Profile Information may be shared with these companies so this customization can be accomplished. SOTL prohibits these companies from sharing your non-personally identifiable information or Profile information with any third-party or from using it for any other purpose. Anonymous click stream, number of page views calculated by pixel tags, and aggregated demographic information may also be shared with SOTL's advertisers and business partners.
Some of the content you share and the actions you take will show up on your friends' User Profile pages and other pages they visit. Even after you remove information from your User Profile or delete your account, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent it has been shared with others, was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or was copied or stored by other Users. You understand that information might be re-shared or copied by other Users. Certain types of communications that you send to other Users cannot be removed. When you post information on another User's Profile or comment on another User's post, that information will be subject to the other User's privacy settings.
V. Age Limitations
SOTL does not collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided SOTL with personally identifiable information without the consent of his or her parent or guardian, please contact us at legal@schoolofthelegends.com. If SOTL becomes aware that a child under age 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account.
VI. Changes to Privacy Policy
From time to time SOTL may modify this SOTL Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our personally identifiable information collection and use practices, the features of the SOTL Services, or technology; and such modifications shall be effective upon posting by us on the SOTL Website. It is your own responsibility to check the website for such postings from time to time, and SOTL reserves the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at its own discretion. You may also be asked to reacknowledge and reaccept this Privacy Policy following any material changes.
PLEASE NOTE THAT BY ACCEPTING THE SOTL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE OR BY USING THE SOTL SERVICES, OR THE SOTL WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SOTL PRIVACY POLICY, AS WELL AS THE OTHER TERMS OF THIS POLICY. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU IF WE MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THIS SOTL PRIVACY POLICY BY POSTING THE NEW VERSION OF THE POLICY ON THE SOTL WEBSITE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SOTL SERVICES OR THE SOTL WEBSITE FOLLOWING THE POSTING OR OTHER NOTICE OF CHANGES TO THIS SOTL PRIVACY POLICY WILL CONSTITUTE AN ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGES. If you have any concerns, questions or thoughts on how we can improve our privacy policy, please let us know by sending an email to legal@schoolofthelegends.com.
VII. Business Transfer
In the event that SOTL or its affiliates or its or their respective business or this website becomes owned or controlled by other individuals or entities, the information we have collected about you through this website or otherwise may be transferred to such other individuals or entities. In such an event, this Privacy Policy will continue to apply to the information gathered online about you through this site until you are notified otherwise or a change is made to this Policy and posted or notified as provided above.
VIII. Security
We take a number of steps to keep your personal information secure from unauthorized access. For example, we ask you to use a unique and strong password and not to share this information with anyone. In addition, we use encrypted transmissions to limit access to the systems that store your personal information. Further, we respect and comply with applicable laws and regulations on data protection. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your user access name and related password. While we try our best to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure
IX. Links to Third - Party Websites
This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected by SOTL. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that SOTL does not own or control, or employees that SOTL does not manage. The SOTL Website and SOTL Services contains links to third-party websites. Any information you provide to, or that is collected by, third-party sites may be subject to the privacy policies of those sites, if any. We encourage you to read such privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. It is the sole responsibility of such third-parties to adhere to any applicable restrictions on the disclosure of your personally-identifiable information, and SOTL and its affiliates shall not be liable for wrongful use or disclosure of your personally-identifiable information by any third-party.
