Cookies, Log Files, & Other Tracking Technologies We use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies, log files, and web beacons (see below) to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate. The specific data that is obtained via these technologies and its’ uses is described below. Cookies A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. We do use cookies on SoccerPro.com. We use session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close you browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. We set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don’t have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site will be limited. Cookies do not allow any third parties to access or view any of your personally identifiable information. Log Files As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click-stream data. This data does not identify individual users, but rather is used to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. Web Beacons (Clear Gifs) We employ software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is used most and therefore valued by our customers. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information. In addition to web pages on our site, we use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. Opting Out & Updating Personal Information You always have the opportunity to opt-out of any communication with us, excluding that which is necessary to process your orders, returns, or exchanges. Email is our primary form of communication for order administration. If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional or marketing communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each email or newsletter. You may also (1) opt out, (2) correct or update your personal information, or (3) deactivate your account by emailing us at info[at]soccerpro.com or calling us at 877-762-7776. Data Security The personally identifiable information you provide - including name, address, and credit card information – is secured by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) data encryption technology. This technology is used to prevent your personal data from being intercepted or read as it travels through internet space. Additionally, all of your personal data is stored on hardware and servers that are physically protected and limited access in conformance with industry standards and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance requirements. We employ third party administrators that specialize in data security to store and protect your personal information. While we take every precaution necessary and required by industry standards to protect your data, we can not guarantee a 100% “hack” proof system, nor can any online company.
