9. YouSport.com may use aggregate data to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure user demographics and interests, and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. Without such data, we would not know which parts of the YouSport.com are popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and features as a result. We may share this aggregate information with third-party companies without disclosing personally identifiable information.

YouSport.com processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this policy or any applicable feature-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage, and processing practices to confirm that we only collect, store, and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our Website.

YouSport.com takes reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary. You are ultimately responsible for the security of your YouSport.com account and password. Please take care when using and storing them. YouSport.com recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone. You should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if several people have access to your personal computer or you are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.

YouSport.com allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the YouSport.com Website. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the ads and links that appear on the YouSport.com Websites. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see.

YouSport.com does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. Please note that if an advertiser asks YouSport.com to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed certain content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the YouSport.com Website, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.

You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks for more information on their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices. YouSport.com's privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.

YouSport.com regularly reviews its compliance with this Privacy Policy. Please direct any questions or concerns regarding this policy or YouSport.com's treatment of personal information by contacting us through this web site or by writing to us at Privacy - YouSport.com Inc., 2030 1st Avenue, Suite 150, Seattle, WA 98121 USA; email: privacy@YouSport.com.

If the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain features, email notification of policy changes). Each version of this Privacy Policy is identified by its effective date, and we will keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review for at least one year.
