- SCOPE AND APPLICATION
Big Ten Network, LLC ("Company" 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 business-to-business related services (the "Company B2B Services"). California residents, please see the California Consumer Privacy Act Notice in Section 8 below. By using the Company B2B Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. Information about our affiliated companies ("Company Affiliates") is available at www.foxcorporation.com.
The Company B2B 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 Company B2B Services without being registered with or subscribing to a Company B2B Service and those who have registered with or subscribed to a Company B2B Service. This Privacy Policy applies to Company's collection and use of your personal information (i.e., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name or email address). It also describes generally Company's practices for handling non-personal information (for example, demographics and services usage).
- COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Depending on your interactions with us, Company and our service providers may collect the following information from and about you:
Registration Information is the information you submit to register for the Company B2B Services, for example, to create an account, register for or participate in an event, arrange travel, or receive a newsletter. Registration Information may also include, for example, name, email address, address, and phone number.
Activity Information. When you access and interact with the Company B2B Services, Company and its service providers may collect certain information about those visits. For example, in order to permit your connection to the Company B2B 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 Company B2B Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, geolocation data (including your precise location), or other transactional information for that device.
Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and 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). Company's websites, apps and other services use these technologies, for example, when you first request a web page and then store the 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. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the Company B2B Services, such as pages you have visited, search history, and the video and other content you have viewed.
Other parties that support the Company B2B Services by providing services, such as tracking aggregate Company B2B Services usage statistics, may also use these technologies to collect similar information when you use the Company B2B Services or other parties' services.
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 Company B2B 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, advertisers, commercially available sources, and information from our Company Affiliates or business partners.
Depending on your interactions with us, Company 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 this signal should be interpreted.
