Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting Stevens Internet Productions, LLC.
(SIP) site. Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your
privacy, we provide this statement explaining our online information practices
and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and
used at this SIP site. This Privacy Notice governs all SIP sites.
The Information We Collect
At this site, you may now or in the future be
able to order products, enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an
opinion, submit, share and download content, subscribe to one of our services
such as our online newsletters, or participate in one of our online forums or
communities. The types of personally identifiable information that may be
collected at these pages include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone
number, fax number, credit card information, and information about your
interests in and use of various products, programs, and services. You may also
be able to submit information about other people. For example, you might submit
a person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic greeting card and, if
you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you might
submit the recipient's name and address. The types of personally identifiable
information that may be collected about other people at these pages include:
recipient's name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number. At certain
parts of this site, only persons who provide us with the requested personally
identifiable information will be able to order products, programs, and services
or otherwise participate in the site's activities and offerings. We also may
collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of
the our web pages such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape,
Internet Explorer), type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows 2000
or Mac OS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America
Online, Earthlink).
How We Use the Information
We may use the information you provide about
yourself to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services, to
respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer you other products,
advertisements, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
We operate this site pursuant to rights agreements with various league partners
and other third parties and may share the information you provide about yourself
with those various partners. We sometimes use this information to communicate
with you, such as to notify you when you have won one of our contests or when we
make changes to our subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you for an
online newsletter, or to contact you about your account with us. We use the
information that you provide about others to enable us to send them your gifts
or cards. From time to time, we also may use this information to offer our
products, programs, or services to them. The information we collect in
connection with our online forums and communities is used to provide an
interactive experience. We use this information to facilitate participation in
these online forums and communities and, from time to time, to offer you
products, programs, or services. If you choose to submit content for publication
(e.g., a posting to a blog or a discussion board), we may publish your screen
name and other information you have provided to us (e.g., transcript of the
chat, including your question). We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable
information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to
enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this
information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to offer you
products, programs, or services. We may disclose personally identifiable
information in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court
order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law
enforcement agency's request, or where we believe it is necessary to
investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected
fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any
person, violations of our Terms of Service, to verify or enforce compliance with
the policies governing our Web Site and applicable laws or as otherwise required
or permitted by law or consistent with legal requirements. In addition, we may
transfer personally identifiable information about you if we, or one of our
business units, are acquired by, sold to, or merged with another company. Agents
and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are
required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this
Privacy Statement by, for example, not using the information for any purpose
other than to carry out the services they are performing for us. Although we
take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of
information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that
is collected will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this
Privacy Statement. We may also disclose personally identifiable information to
companies whose practices are not covered by this Privacy Statement (e.g., other
marketers, magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases, and
non-profit organizations) that want to market products or services to you. If a
site shares personally identifiable information, it will provide you with an
opportunity to opt out or block such uses, either at the point of submission of
your personally identifiable information or prior to any such disclosure. We may
on occasion combine information we receive online with other information and
outside records to enhance our ability to market to you those products or
services that may be of interest to you. If you prefer not to receive marketing
information from this site, follow the "unsubscribe" instructions provided on
any marketing e-mail you receive from this site. Finally, we will not use or
transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to
the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt
out of these unrelated uses.
Cookies & Web Beacons
To enhance your experience with our sites,
many of our web pages use "cookies." Cookies are text files we place in your
computer's browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not
tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless
you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at one
of our sites. However, once you choose to furnish the site with personally
identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in
the cookie. We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content
and offerings on our sites. For example, we may use cookies to personalize your
experience at our web pages (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to
our site), save your password in password-protected areas, and enable you to use
shopping carts on our sites. We also may use cookies to offer you products,
programs, or services. "Web beacons" or clear .gifs are small pieces of code
placed on a web page to monitor the behavior and collect data about the visitors
viewing a web page. For example, web beacons can be used to count the users who
visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that
page. We may use web beacons on this site from time to time for this and other
purposes. Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites, Ad Servers, and
Sponsors Our site may contain links to other sites whose information practices
may be different than ours. Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy
notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or
collected by, these third parties. We may sometimes offer content (e.g.,
contests, sweepstakes, or promotions) that is sponsored by or cobranded with
identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third parties
may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit
to participate in the site activity. We have no control over these third
parties' use of this information. We will notify you at the time of requesting
personally identifiable information if these third parties will obtain such
information. We and our advertisers may use third parties to serve or present
the ads that appear on our site and to conduct research about the
advertisements. Below is a representative list of such third parties and a link
to their privacy notices. For more information, click on the links below. For

electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect
online.
