Outkick Media LLC ("Outkick," "our" or "we") wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information from and about you. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information collected through services such as websites, mobile sites, applications ("apps"), and widgets that link to or are otherwise subject to this privacy policy (each an "Outkick Service" and collectively, the "Outkick Services"). Information about our affiliated companies ("Outkick Affiliates") is available at www.foxcorporation.com.

Certain state privacy laws require particular disclosures in privacy policies. California residents, please see the California Consumer Privacy Act Notice in Section 8 below. Consumers in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and other states with similar privacy laws, please see Section 9 below. By using Outkick Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

As set forth in our Terms of Use at https://www.outkick.com/terms-of-use, the Outkick Services are for a general audience, are not targeted to children, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users, including both those who use the Outkick Services without being registered with or subscribing to an Outkick Service and those who have registered with or subscribed to an Outkick Service. This Privacy Policy applies to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information (i.e., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name or email address). It also describes generally our practices for handling non-personal information (for example, interests, demographics and services usage). Please note that the information that we may collect, use, and/or disclose varies based upon a user’s interactions with the Outkick Services.

2. Collection of Information

Depending on your interactions with us, Outkick and our service providers may collect the following information from and about you:

Registration Information is information you submit to register for an Outkick Service, for example, to create an account, post comments, receive a newsletter, or enter a contest or sweepstakes. Registration Information may also include, for example, name, email address, gender, zip code, user/display name, and birthday. Certain of your registration information such as user/display name, profile picture/cover image, and activity may be publicly available within VIP Forums.

Personal Financial and Commercial Information is information that you submit to purchase a product, subscribe to a VIP membership, or make payments.

Public Information and Posts consist of comments or content that you post to the Outkick Services and the information about you that accompanies those posts or content, which may include your name, user/display name, comments, likes, status, friends, profile information and picture/cover image. Public Information and Posts are always public, which means they are available to everyone and may be displayed in search results on external search engines. As set forth in our Terms of Use at https://www.outkick.com/terms-of-use/, if you upload images to the website, please do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS or similar EXIF metadata) with the image.

Activity Information. When you access and interact with the Outkick Services, Outkick and its service providers may collect certain information about those visits. For example, in order to permit your connection to the Outkick Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device, and browser, including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. If you access the Outkick Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, or other transactional information for that device. In certain circumstances, we also may collect geolocation data (including your precise location).

Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, local storage, and other mechanisms) use various approaches to collect and store data. Some of these technologies store data in the browser or on your device. Other technologies may use network-related or other information to recognize your device (e.g., IP address). Outkick’s websites, apps and other services may use these technologies, for example, when you first request a web page and to store data on your computer or other device so the website or app can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that service. Depending on your interactions with us, these technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the Outkick Services, such as pages you have visited, search history, and the video and other content you have viewed.

Other parties that support the Outkick Services, for example, by serving advertisements, providing analytics, or other services, may also use these technologies to collect similar information when you use the Outkick Services or other parties’ services. Those other parties may also use these technologies, along with activity information they collect, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile device and a laptop or other computer. In some circumstances, their use is governed by the privacy policies of the parties using such technologies. For more information about advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, including your choices with respect to them, see the section entitled "To deliver relevant advertisements," below.

Your browser may be initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, and to block cookies altogether. Please consult the "Help" section of your browser for more information, including on how to clear data from local storage and, depending on your browser, how to turn off other data collection by the browser. For more information about Google Analytics, please review the site "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services," located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, please go to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies you may not have access to certain features, content or personalization available through the Outkick Services.

Information from Other Sources. We may supplement the information we collect with information from other sources, such as publicly available information about your online and offline activity from social media services, advertising technology companies, advertisers, commercially available sources, and information from our Outkick Affiliates or business partners.

Depending on your interactions with us, Outkick may not have collected information from you for each of the categories above.

‘Do Not Track’. At this time, we do not respond to the ‘Do Not Track’ signal, as we await the work of interested stakeholders and others to develop standards for how the ‘Do Not Track" signal should be interpreted.

3. Use and Disclosure

We may use and disclose some or all of the information we collect from and about you for the purposes listed below. Please note that these uses and disclosures may vary based on your interactions with us.

By virtue of these relationships, we may share information you submit in connection with the Co-Branded Service with that party. That other party’s use of your information will be governed by its privacy policy.
To deliver relevant advertisements. Outkick and our service providers may use information we collect from and about you as described in this Privacy Policy to deliver and measure relevant, more personalized ads to you when you use the Outkick Services or another service (on any of your devices). This may include, for example, sharing certain information with advertising technology companies (e.g., identity partners), such as an advertising identifier for your device, IP address, or a "hash" of an identifier (i.e., a value generated using a cryptographic hash algorithm). In some instances, these entities may return an online identification code that we may store in a first party cookie, or other similar technology, for our use in online and cross-channel advertising and it may be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising. To opt out of this use, please go to privacy.outkick.com/main/web/main.

As noted above, advertising technology companies and advertisers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information, such as demographic information, inferred interests, aggregated information, and information about the different devices and/or browsers you use and your activity on such devices and browsers, to assist them in delivering advertising that is more relevant to your interests. Such information may also be used to deliver more relevant advertising to you across marketing channels, including email. If you wish to opt out of tailored advertising in Outkick Services, please go to privacy.outkick.com/main/web/main.

6. Other Important Information

Updates to Privacy Policy. Outkick may modify this Privacy Policy. Please look at the Effective Date at the top of this Privacy Policy to see when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Outkick Services.

Location of Data. The Outkick Services are hosted in and managed from the United States. If you are a user located outside the United States, you understand and consent to having any personal information processed in the United States or in any other country in which we have facilities or in which we engage service providers. The United States and other countries’ data protection laws may not be the same as those in your jurisdiction. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in the United States may be entitled to access your personal information.

Linked Services. The Outkick Services may be linked to sites operated by unaffiliated companies, and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, games, newsletters, contests or sweepstakes, or applications developed and maintained by unaffiliated companies. Outkick is not responsible for the privacy practices of unaffiliated companies, and once you leave the Outkick Services or click an advertisement you should check the applicable privacy policy of the other service. In addition, Outkick is not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of other organizations, such as Meta, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Apple, Google, Microsoft or any other app developer, app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider, or device manufacturer, including in connection with any information you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with the Outkick Services.

Collection of Personal Financial Information by a Payment Service. In some cases, we may use an unaffiliated payment service to allow you to purchase a product or make payments ("Payment Service"). If you wish to purchase a product or make a payment using a Payment Service, you will be directed to a Payment Service webpage. Any information that you provide to a Payment Service will be subject to the applicable Payment Service's privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for, any Payment Service's use of information collected through any Payment Service.

If you subscribe to a VIP membership or otherwise make payments, we and/or Payment Service provider(s) may use payment information to help provide the Outkick Services. For example, payment information may be used to retrieve account information for a subscriber, to determine whether a subscriber is eligible for promotions, and to detect abuse of the Outkick services.

Data Retention. We will retain your information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.

Remember that even after you cancel your VIP membership, or if you ask us to delete your personal information, copies of some information from your account may remain viewable in some circumstances where, for example, you have shared information with social media or other services. Because of the nature of caching technology, your account may not be instantly inaccessible to others. We may also retain backup information related to your account on our servers for some time after cancellation or your request for deletion, for fraud detection or to comply with applicable law or our internal security or recordkeeping policies. It may not always be possible to completely remove or delete all of your information due to technical constraints or contractual, financial or legal requirements.

Deidentified Information. To the extent we process "deidentified" personal information, as defined under applicable law, we will maintain and use that information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information except as permitted by applicable law.
