Team8s Privacy Policy

Information you provide us

For an individual user, the minimum amount of information we collect is your email address and a password. In most cases your name is required as well. If you register as a team owner, we also collect country location, time zone, team name, and contact information of the members of your team. This information about your team will be associated with your information.

We may receive your information from third parties that provide services for us in connection with the Sites and Services, and Team8s may connect this information to your information that we already have.

Beyond the minimum information required to use the Services, we store data that you provide us for the Services. Examples include:

1. Your contact information (e.g., phone number, physical address, etc.)
2. Schedule information (e.g., whether you plan to attend an upcoming event)
3. Location information (e.g., your physical location at a given time)
4. Device and software information (e.g., the type of mobile device and associated hardware and software information, the browser used to access our web service, etc.)

Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience of our Services.

We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which are used only by us to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Services; and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers on our Services, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites.

Our Service uses the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:

You can typically remove or reject cookies via your browser settings. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings,” “help” “tools” or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings.

If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Services. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Services.

Information about how you use the site

We track how users use our Sites and Services including what pages they visit and what actions they take.

Information about your device or network

We track what types of devices you use to access our Sites and Services. We collect device attributes like operating system, screen size, browser, etc.

We also track what networks you come from including your mobile operator, ISP, and location.

For security purposes we also track device specific information such as your IP address and device specific identifiers such as IDFA.

Payment information

If you choose to purchase any of our paid services, you will need to pay using a payment card (e.g., credit or debit card). We use third party payment card processing companies to process payments in connection with the Sites and Services. These third parties have committed to Team8s to process your payment card information in a secure, PCI compliant manner. Your payment card information is processed and retained by these third parties and will not be passed on to Team8s; Team8s does not store your payment card information.

If you are a team owner, you also may use Team8s to collect funds from other users. We may deduct a service fee from these fund transfers, but we will always spell out any applicable fees at the time of the transaction. In addition, we will not use payment information you have provided for fund transfers to charge you for other services. The fund transfers do not flow through Team8s and are accomplished using Stripe or another third-party payment system, which is subject to separate terms with that third party (please review the section of this policy entitled “How We Share Your Information” below for more information).

Communicate with you

We use your information to send you marketing communications, communicate with you about our Sites and Services and let you know about our policies and terms. We also use your information to respond to you when you contact us.

Show and measure ads

We use the information we have to improve our advertising and measurement systems so we can show you relevant ads on and off our Services and measure the effectiveness and reach of ads and services.

Manage the security of our Sites and Services

We monitor the data to ensure that users are complying with our terms of service and to investigate suspicious behavior on our Sites and Services.

Data you share through the Sites and Services

The Sites and Services offer a number of ways to share content with members of your team or even publicly. You make the determination what data you want to share and how you want to share it. Team owners can enable the ability for the team to share certain information to social media sites and can determine if they want a website that is publicly accessible. In all cases the data shared is driven by the users.

Vendors and service providers

Team8s employs various third parties to run its service, as further described below. These third parties operate components of the Team8s architecture. Team8s relies on these third parties to maintain the safety and security of your information.

We may share your information with third-party service providers to: provide you with the Sites and Services that we offer you; to conduct quality assurance testing; to facilitate creation of accounts; to provide technical support; and/or to provide other services to Team8s or to you.

Advertising

We use third parties to help measure our content and advertising effectiveness and to serve more relevant ads on our behalf and on behalf of other third parties. These ads are in some cases targeted to you based on your information collected across various channels including, offline and online, and are shown on our website and on third-party websites. We may share some anonymous information (for example, your role as a coach or participant in the group with which you are involved or the sports or activities with which you are involved), as well as anonymous, aggregated demographic information. Our partners may also place or recognize a cookie on your computer, device, or directly in our emails/communications, and we may share personal information with them if you have submitted such information to us, such as your name, postal address, email address, or device identifiers. Third parties may collect hashed information through a variety of technologies (including cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers) on our websites, our apps, or emails we send you. While this information is anonymous, our partners may collect information directly from you through linking the hashed or obfuscated personal information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Third parties may be able to add such information to the information it already stores about you, such as using this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms, including but not limited to, computers, mobile devices, and Smart TVs, over time for their own use such as advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. Team8s may share your email address with such third parties, solely in a hashed form that does not, in itself, identify you. Third parties may send personalized marketing emails to you based on the fact that you visited a particular website. Please review that third party’s privacy policy to understand how it uses such data. To opt-out of the use of your mobile device ID for targeted advertising, please see http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. To learn more about internet-based advertising in general and to opt-out of these data provider cookies, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria (for example, men ages 25-38 from a particular geographic area with an interest in sports). By interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will assume that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.

We also access your information from third parties to improve the Team8s Sites and Services. For example, we access information about your location, determined from your IP address or mobile device location information, to personalize your experience. We may use this information to provide you with weather or other information that pertains to your location.

New owner

We may share some or all of your information in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition or dissolution transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, your information may also be transferred as a business asset. If another company acquires our shares, business, or assets, that company will possess your information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Although we currently do not have a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with us (collectively, “Affiliates”), we may in the future. You hereby agree that we may share some or all of your information with these Affiliates. We will require our Affiliates to comply with this Privacy Policy.

Legal compliance

Regardless of any choices you make regarding your information, we may disclose your information (a) in connection with any legal investigation; (b) to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas, warrants or other legal process served on us; (c) to protect or defend the rights or property of Team8s or users of the Site and Services; and/or (d) to investigate or assist in preventing any violation or potential violation of the law, this Privacy Policy, or our Terms of Service. In these cases, we provide only the data requested to be legally compliant.
