DISCLOSURES TO SELLERS:

We may provide Personal Information to a third party facility or organisation or product seller on whose behalf we are providing Services or selling products if you purchase Service or products through Soccer Stars. Such third party may use the information for any purpose related to your transactions with such third party through Soccer Stars. This disclosure is necessary for the performance of the contract related to your purchase.
Where you have consented to receive marketing from third parties, we will share your Personal Information with such third parties in order for them to be able to contact you. We advise that where you give such consent you visit the website of those third parties and review their privacy policy.
Soccer Stars may make certain Automatically-Collected and other aggregate non-Personal Information available to third parties, to assist those parties in understanding our users’ interests, habits, and usage patterns for sales or other Services.

The Services enables users to communicate in a variety of ways.

Once you make your Personal Information available to others, Soccer Stars cannot control how it is collected, used, or disclosed by the recipients.
Soccer Stars may contact the bank you identify, or the issuer of your credit card, to verify that you have sufficient account balances and/or available credit for purchases, and in such cases Soccer Stars will share certain Personal Information with these third parties to the extent reasonably necessary to conduct such verification.
Soccer Stars may also disclose your Personal Information in the good-faith belief that we are required to do so by applicable law, or in response to a court order, judicial or administrative subpoena or warrant, or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement investigations.

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

You may, of course, decline to share certain Personal Information with Soccer Stars, in which case you may not be able to purchase Services or Soccer Stars may not be able to provide some of the Services and/or features and functionality found on the Soccer Stars Websites to you. You may update, correct, or delete your profile information and preferences at any time by contacting us. Please note that while your changes may be reflected promptly in active user databases, we may retain all information you submit for a variety of purposes, including backups and archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, and analytics, to the extent permitted under applicable data protection law.

To protect your privacy and security, we take steps to verify your identity before granting account access to you or making corrections to your information.

Subject to applicable law, you may have certain rights in respect of your Personal Information (particularly if you are based in the European Union or United Kingdom). These rights are as follows:

a right to access your Personal Information as held by us (also known as a subject access request);
a right to receive certain Personal Information in machine-readable format;
a right to object to processing where the lawful basis is that it is in our legitimate interests, but please note that we may still process your Personal Information where there are other relevant lawful bases or where we have compelling grounds to continue processing your Personal Information in our interests which are not overridden by your rights, interests or freedoms;
a right to have inaccurate Personal Information rectified;
a right to have certain Personal Information erased where it is no longer necessary for us to process it, where you have withdrawn your consent, where you have objected to legitimate interests (and there are no overriding reasons for us to keep this Personal Information), where your Personal Information has been unlawfully processed, or where erasing your Personal Information is required in accordance with a legal obligation;
a right to request an explanation of the logic involved where we make decisions about you solely through automated means;
a right to complain to your national data protection supervisory authority;
where we have specifically requested your consent to process your Personal Information and have no other lawful conditions to rely on, you have the right to withdraw this consent; and
a right to object to direct marketing, which can be done by opting-out of direct marketing either through your account or by opting out via the communication itself. You also have a right to object to any profiling to the extent that it relates to direct marketing only.

You can exercise your rights or withdraw your consent by contacting us by the means provided at the conclusion of this Privacy Policy.

If you are unsure about your rights or are concerned about how your Personal Information may be processed, you should contact your national data protection regulator.

Please be aware that while we will try to accommodate any request you make in respect of your rights, they are not absolute rights. This means that we may have to refuse your request or may only be able to comply with it in part.

Where you make a request in respect of your rights we will require proof of identification. We may also ask that you clarify your request. We will aim to respond to any request within one month of verifying your identity. If we receive repeated requests, or have reason to believe requests are being made unreasonably, we reserve the right not to respond.

INTERNATIONAL VISITORS AND CUSTOMERS

This website is hosted in the United States. If you are visiting from outside the United States, including without limitation, the European Union and Australia, please note that your Personal Information will be transferred to the United States, which may not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY

Soccer Stars employs certain physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to help protect Personal Information about you.

The following is a summary of the measures Soccer Stars takes to protect your Personal Information and descriptions of ways we implement these measures for different types of Personal Information you may provide to us:

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption: Soccer Stars uses SSL encryption when transmitting certain kinds of information, such as financial services information or payment information. An icon resembling a padlock is displayed on the bottom of most browser windows during SSL transactions. Any time Soccer Stars asks you for a credit card number for payment or for verification purposes, it will be SSL encrypted. Once you choose to store or enter your credit card number on Soccer Stars, it will not be displayed back to you in its entirety when you retrieve or edit it in the future. Instead of the entire number, you will only see asterisks and a few digits of your number.
Vendors and Partners: Soccer Stars works with vendors and partners to protect the security and privacy of user information.
Employee and Contractor Access to Information: Soccer Stars limits access to Personal Information about you to those employees who we reasonably believe need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.

We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary for us to provide you with our Services and to comply with our legal and regulatory responsibilities. Accordingly, your Personal Information will be retained for a minimum of seven years following the closure of your account (if applicable).
