We collect information about you and your use of our service, your interactions with us and our advertising, as well as information regarding your network, network devices, and your computer.

This information includes:

your activity on the Contested service, your interactions with our emails, and any potential interaction with our messages through push and online messaging channels; details of your interactions with our customer service, such as the date, time and reason for contacting us;

device IDs or other unique identifiers, including for your network devices, and devices that are Contested-capable on your Wi-Fi network;

resettable device identifiers (also known as advertising identifiers), such as those on desktop, mobile devices, and tablets that include such identifiers (see the "Cookies and Internet Advertising" section below for more information);

device and software characteristics (such as type and configuration), connection information including type (wifi, cellular), statistics on page views, referring source (for example, referral URLs), IP address (which may tell us your general location), browser and standard web server log information;

information collected via the use of cookies, web beacons and other technologies.

Information from other sources:

We also obtain information from other sources. We protect this information according to the practices described in this Privacy Statement, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data.

These sources vary over time, but could include: service providers that help us determine a location based on your IP address in order to customize our service and for other uses consistent with this Privacy Statement;

security service providers who provide us with information to secure our systems, prevent fraud and help us protect the security of Contested accounts;

We use information to provide, analyze, administer, enhance and personalize our services and marketing efforts, to manage member referrals, to process your registration, your orders and your payments, and to communicate with you on these and other topics. For example, we use such information to:

determine your general geographic location, determine your ISP to support network troubleshooting for you (we also use aggregated ISP information for operational and business purposes), and help us quickly and efficiently respond to inquiries and requests;

secure our systems, prevent fraud and help us protect the security of Contested accounts;

prevent, detect and investigate potentially prohibited or illegal activities, including fraud, and to enforce our terms;

analyze and understand our customer base, improve our service (including our user interface experiences and service performance);

communicate with you concerning our service so that we can send you news about Contested, details about new features available on Contested, special offers, promotional announcements, consumer surveys, and to assist you with operational requests such as password reset requests. These communications will be by email.

Any future recommendations system we might use will strive to predict what sport or match you will be in the mood to interact with when you log in. However, our recommendations system will not infer or attach socio-demographic information (like gender or race) to you.

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Statement will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect and use it. We will normally collect personal information from you where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you (for example, to provide our services to you), where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (for example, our direct marketing activities in accordance with your preferences), or where we have your consent to do so (for example, for you to participate in certain consumer insights activities like specific surveys and focus groups). In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for example, to prevent payment fraud or confirm your identity). For questions about our use of your personal information, cookies or similar technologies, please contact us by email at hello@contested.com.

1. 11. COOKIES AND INTERNET ADVERTISING

We and our Service Providers may use cookies and other technologies (such as web beacons), as well as resettable device identifiers, for various reasons. We want you to be informed about our use of these technologies, so this section explains the types of technologies we use, what they do, and your choices regarding their use.

Cookies are small data files that are commonly stored on your device when you browse and use websites and online services. We use other technologies such as browser storage and plugins (e.g., HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). Like cookies, these other technologies may store small amounts of data on your device. Web beacons (also known as clear gifs or pixel tags) often work in conjunction with cookies. In many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of web beacons associated with those cookies.

More information on how to deactivate or delete cookies can be found below as well as on https://www.aboutcookies.org/cookie-faq/. Some browsers provide helpful cookie guides: Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95647&p=cpn_cookies Firefox: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Cookies Internet Explorer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278835 Safari 5 for Mac: https://support.apple.com/e Opera: http://help.opera.com/Linux/10.50/en/cookies.html In addition, Google Analytics provides its own opt-out options:· http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Why does Contested use these technologies?

We use these types of technologies for various reasons, like making it easy to access our services by remembering you when you return; to provide, analyze, understand and enhance the use of our services; to enforce our terms, prevent fraud; to improve site performance, monitor visitor traffic and actions on our site; and to deliver and tailor our marketing or advertising, and to understand interactions with our emails, marketing, and online ads on third party sites.

To help you better understand how we use cookies and resettable device identifiers, please see the information below:

Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide our website or online service. For example, we and our Service Providers may use these cookies to authenticate and identify our members when they use our websites and applications so we can provide our service to them. They also help us to enforce our Terms of Use, prevent fraud and maintain the security of our service.

Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies help us to customize and enhance your online experience with Contested. For example, they help us to remember your preferences and prevent you from needing to re-enter information you previously provided (for example, during member sign up). We also use these cookies to collect information (such as popular pages, conversion rates, viewing patterns, click-through and other information) about our visitors' use of the Contested service so that we can enhance and personalize our website and service and conduct market research. Deletion of these types of cookies may result in limited functionality of our service.

Advertising cookies and resettable device identifiers: These cookies and resettable device identifiers use information about your use of this and other websites and apps, your response to ads and emails, and to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and for analytics and optimization purposes. These types of ads are called "interest-based advertising." The advertising cookies associated with our service belong to our Service Providers.

In connection with our use of these technologies, some of the websites and apps where we advertise, as well as advertising technology companies that we use to purchase, deliver, optimize, and/or measure our advertisements (collectively “Advertising Partners”), may receive limited information from us as part of our campaign targeting, measurement, and optimization (e.g., steps completed in sign-up and site visit or app open/install information).

Common uses of this type of information are to judge the effectiveness of and optimize ad campaigns, by allowing Advertising Partners to see when someone who saw an ad later signed up for our service. Another common use is to make sure we do not serve ads trying to get individuals to sign up for the Contested service if they are already a Contested user.

Contested uses contractual and technical measures designed to prevent Advertising Partners from accessing information regarding specific content selections you make, or URLs you land on.

How can I exercise choice regarding these technologies?

To exercise choice regarding cookies

To exercise choice regarding other technologies

There are a number of ways to exercise choice regarding technologies that are similar to cookies, such as browser storage and plugins (e.g., HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). For example, many popular browsers provide the ability to clear browser storage, commonly in the settings or preferences area; see your browser's help function or support area to learn more. Other technologies, such as Silverlight storage, may be cleared from within the application.
