Privacy is something we take very seriously here at Esports Bar Association, Inc. (“ESPORTS BAR”), and it is our goal to be open and transparent with what information we collect and how we use it. This website and any services (collectively “Services”) linked by this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) are controlled by ESPORTS BAR and its affiliates (“our” or “we”).
This Policy will explain what information we collect from persons who access the Services (“users”, “you”), why we collect it, and how we use it. Additionally, this Policy explains the choices we offer, including how to access and update your information.
If you have any questions about this Policy, please contact us at contact@esportsbar.com.
By using the Services, you are consenting to this Policy and the processing of your data, including your personal information, in the manner provided in this Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the Services.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect information about the Services you use and how you use them, such as the selections you make on our Services. We collect PII, DII, as each is defined below, and log information about your interactions as described below.
Personally identifiable information (PII) is information that can be used to identify or contact you online or offline, such as your name, address, email, phone number, photos or audio data, and payment information, or data that is linked to such identifiers. The Services may collect PII when it is provided to us, such as when you use our Services, attempt to contact us, submit an inquiry, request to become a member, or connect with us on social media or one of our partners.
We may also create or collect device-identifiable information (DII), such as cookies, unique device and advertising identifiers, statistical identifiers, usernames, and similar identifiers that are linkable to a browser or device. From these platforms, we may also receive other information, such as your IP address, user agent, timestamps, precise and imprecise geolocation, sensor data, apps, fonts, battery life information, and screen size.
Our Services also collect information about your interactions, including navigation paths, search queries, crashes, timestamps, purchases, clicks and shares, and referral URLs. We may combine this data with PII and DII. For efficiency’s sake, information about your interactions may be transmitted to our servers while you are not using the app. We may also partner with third parties that collect additional information – please see their privacy policies for more details and see below for your choices regarding these parties.

5. THIRD PARTY OPERATORS AND SERVICES
Our Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or websites that may be displayed to you on the Services. The Services may contain links to other websites are not controlled by us, and we do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. We also do not control the privacy policies and your privacy settings on third-party websites, including social networks. Visiting these other websites or applications is at your own risk.
6. INFORMATION SECURITY
We work hard to protect our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information. Unfortunately, no website or storage system is entirely secure, and as such we can make no guarantee for the safety of your information stored in association with the Services. We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure, and you should take appropriate measures to protect your information.
By using the Services, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the Services or sending an email to you.
7. ENFORCEMENT
We regularly review our compliance with our Policy. When we receive formal written complaints, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up.
8. CHILDREN
We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use information from children under 13 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 16) years of age, and no Services are directed to children under the age of 13 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 16). If you are the parent of a child under the age of 13 and have a concern regarding your child’s information on our Services, please contact us at contact@esportsbar.com. If we learn that we have collected any information from children under 13 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 16), we will promptly take steps to delete such information.
9. LOCATION OF SERVICES
Our Services are hosted in the United States. If you are outside of the United States, your information, including PII, will be processed and stored in the United States and you are consenting to such processing and storage.
10. INFORMATION FOR OUR MEMBERS LOCATED IN THE EEC
If you are located in the European Economic Community (EEC), the following applies to you:
10.1 Legal Basis for Data Processing
Many types of data we process qualify for multiple legal bases for processing under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Below is the primary legal basis for each type of data that we process:
We have a legitimate interest in storing users’ purchase history for the purpose of providing users help in fixing purchase and payment issues.
We have a legitimate interest in periodic email and direct marketing, including newsletters, to inform registered users of updates and offers. We make clear disclosures when users sign up and offer opt outs for anyone not interested.
It is contractually necessary to process your name, email, password, credit card number, address, IP address, and similar information to fulfill our obligations in the terms of service to provide you with Services.
10.2 Rights
Our European members have the right to access their data, rectify mistakes, erase their data, restrict or object to certain processing (i.e., opt-out), move their data, withdraw consent, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
If you wish to exercise any of the above rights with regard to the above-reference PII, please reach out to us at contact@esportsbar.com. We may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. You must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity, however we will only use any PII provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require that you create an account with us.
In some cases, we may have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes and therefore will deny your request to delete the information.
11. DATA RETENTION.
PII that we process for any purpose, as outlined herein, will not be kept for longer than necessary to accomplish that purpose or purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may retain your PII where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.
12. CHOICE
Like many other companies, we do not honor DNT flags but instead offer other choices with respect to third-parties. Many third-parties participate in self-regulation to offer you a choice regarding receiving targeted ads. Please note that you’ll still see generic ads after opting out, but they won’t be based on your activities online. On the web, you can opt out of participating companies by visiting the following sites:
• http://optout.networkadvertising.org/
• http://optout.aboutads.info/
• http://youronlinechoices.eu/
• https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074
If you wish to similarly opt out of cross-app advertising on mobile devices, you can enable the Limit Ad Tracking flag on the device. Enabling Limit Ad Tracking sends a flag to third-parties that you wish to opt out of targeted advertising on that device, and major mobile platforms require companies to honor this flag. Screenshots on how to find these options on various devices are available here: http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choices. To learn how to opt out on other devices, please visit the platform’s privacy policies for more information.
13. CHANGES TO POLICY
Our Policy may change from time to time. We will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain Services, email notification of privacy policy changes). By continuing to access or use the Services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Policy.
