Marketing

Where permitted by applicable law, we and/or our selected third parties may contact you with information about offers, products and services that might be of interest to you. We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal information with any third party for marketing purposes, unless consent is not required under applicable law (e.g. you are a corporate subscriber, or we have a pre-existing relationship where your consent is not required). If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications, please send us an email (using the details provided in the How to Contact Us section below) or click on the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of any of our marketing emails.

Aggregated data

We may collect, use and share “aggregated data” such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. This aggregated data could be derived from your personal information but is anonymised and not considered personal information as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may use anonymised, aggregated, statistical information for purposes that include testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our Websites,  developing new products and features and/or to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website feature. We may also share such anonymised information with third parties.

Special category information

We do not generally seek to collect sensitive (or “special category”) personal information through our Websites but may do so as part of our business transactions. If we do collect special category personal information, we will ask for your explicit consent, or rely on an alternative appropriate lawful basis (such as because the processing relating to personal information is manifestly made public) for our proposed use of that information at the time of collection.

Children

Except for sports data collected about athletes, or unless otherwise specified (for example, in relation to certain aspects of our services), we do not knowingly collect or process personal data from children under 18 years of age.

Security

We understand that the security of your personal information is important to you. When handling personal information, security is paramount, and we seek to ensure that personal information is adequately and appropriately protected.  We have put in place appropriate, technical, and organisational measures to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to your personal information. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. Data is encrypted as appropriate and data access is restricted to authorised roles within the company only. Our data processing/storage standards and access are regularly reviewed.

International Data Transfers

We are a global business. This means that it may be necessary for us to transfer your personal information outside of the country in which it was collected, or your jurisdiction of residence, when transferring it to other entities or offices within Stats Perform and our service providers and business partners located in other countries. If you are based in the UK or European Economic Area (“EEA”), your personal information may be transferred to or accessed from territories outside the UK or EEA which are not governed by data protection laws equivalent to those in force within the UK and EU respectively.

Where applicable data protection laws apply, and personal information is transferred by us, and/or made available, to a recipient outside the EEA or UK, we take steps to put in place appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, including:

  • transferring your personal information to a country, territory, sector, or international organisation which the appropriate supervisory authority has determined ensures an adequate level of protection, as permitted under applicable data protection laws; or
  • entering into standard contractual clauses in a form approved by the appropriate supervisory authority, obliging recipients to protect your personal information as required under applicable data protection laws.

Further details regarding the appropriate safeguards we put in place are available upon request.

How Long We Retain Your Personal Information

We will store the personal information we collect about you for no longer than necessary for the purposes set out in the table above in accordance with our legal obligations and legitimate business interests. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible at the time (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, reporting or other requirements.

  • Right of access. You have the right to obtain access to your personal information.
