2. HOW WE COLLECT AND USE INFORMATION
a) Information you provide us directly: We may ask for certain information, such as your email address, username, password, telephone number, favorite sports teams, favorite types of sports, and country of residence, and other personal information (collectively “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”), from you in order to provide the Service to you, or if you contact or interact with us. We monitor or may monitor all your interactions with us, and we record or may record information relating to you and your use of the Service, which includes or may include, among others, your online activity, selection of sports, leagues or matches, detail of transactions you carry through the Site and of the fulfillment of your orders, financial information, payment history and correspondence, internet protocol addresses, device types, device-unique data (such as unique identifiers and configuration identifiers), operating systems, consumed content and time spent on each, and all related activity. We use or may use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Service, determine the your geographical area, provide you with relevant content for your area, enforce our terms, personalize the service and our marketing, keep track of your consumed content and time spent on each, determine your internet service provider, help us provide a faster and more efficient answer to queries and requests, and analyze, improve, manage or promote our service range, both for you and other users.
b)Information from third parties: We may receive information about you from third parties including third party social networking services. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the Service. You may also unlink your third-party account from the Service by adjusting your settings on the third-party service. We also may collect information about you from third party business partners, publicly available sources and our subsidiaries and affiliates.
c)Cookies information: When you visit the Service, we may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your device that uniquely identifies your browser and lets us help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Service (“Cookie”). A Cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on the Service) and allows us and/or our third-party business partners to track your usage of the Service over time. A persistent Cookie remains on your device after you close your browser. Persistent Cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your browser's directions. A session Cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can set your browser to refuse certain Cookies or to indicate when a Cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Service may not function properly if the ability to accept Cookies is limited or disabled.
d)Log file information: Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page or other content within the Service. We may also receive log information relating to your device and your use of our Apps. When you use the Service, our servers automatically record certain log file information (“Server Logs”). These Server Logs may include anonymous information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, referring/exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. The information contained in Server Logs is used to monitor, assess, manage, diagnose problems with, improve and otherwise administer the Service.
e)Clear gifs/web beacons information: “Clear Gifs” (also known as web beacons) are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our users. We may use Clear Gifs throughout our Site or in HTML-based emails sent to you to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked. The information allows for more accurate reporting, monitoring, and improvement of the Service.
f)Device identifiers: When you access the Service by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smart phones or tablets), we and/or our third-party business partners may access, assign, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more unique device-specific identifiers, such as a universally unique identifier (UUID) (“Unique Identifiers”). Unique Identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on and/or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A Unique Identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by us. A Unique Identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Service. A Unique Identifier may also be used to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Service.
g)Advertising identifiers: Advertising identifiers are unique strings associated with your mobile device provided by the operating system (“Advertising Identifiers”). Please visit our Analytics and Advertising Tracking notice (http://www.thehighlightsapp.com/pages/manage-analytics-and-ads-preferences) for additional information about how you can reset Advertising Identifiers and limit advertising tracking.
h)Location data: When you access the Service by or through a mobile device, we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store location data, which may include GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device (“Location Data”). Location Data may convey to us information about how you browse and use the Service. Location Data may be used to personalize and customize your experience when using the Service, facilitate the functionality of certain features within the Service, and to improve the Service. Some features of the Service, particularly location-based services, may not function properly if use or availability of Location Data is impaired or disabled.
i)Commercial and marketing communications: We use the information we collect or receive to communicate directly with you. We may send you electronic messages containing Service-related notices (e.g., account verification, purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, feature notifications, technical and security notices). We may also send you electronic messages containing product and/or service offerings, promotions, invitations, and special offers. You can also stop receiving electronic messages (other than Service-related notices) from us by clicking on the "unsubscribe link" provided in such communications or by changing your account preferences or settings.
j)Use of certain service type information we collect: The information we collect automatically may include personal information. We use or may use Cookies, Server Logs, Unique Identifiers, Advertising Identifiers, Location Data and Clear Gifs information to: (i) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Service; (ii) provide personalized content and information; (iii) provide and monitor the effectiveness of the Service; (iv) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns; (v) diagnose or fix technology problems; (vi) help you efficiently access your information after you sign in; (vii) provide targeted advertising to your browser or device; (viii) automatically update our App on your mobile devices; (ix) allow you to comment on or provide content and participate in contests, special offers, and/or promotions; and (x) conduct research, beta testing or surveys.

Examples include, but are not limited to, companies that assist us with serving advertisement within the Service, analyzing data, and providing marketing assistance. We may share information about you that they need to perform their functions. We will use contractual or other means to protect personal information disclosed to such third parties. We may also share your information with any subsidiary or affiliate of ours for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. Any subsidiary or affiliate of ours will be required to maintain that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
b)Change of control: If we become involved in a merger, consolidation, acquisition, sale of assets, joint venture, securities offering, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other transaction or if the ownership of all or substantially all of our business otherwise changes, we may share or transfer your information to a third party or parties in connection therewith.

d)Types of information collected: We may share certain service type information, including information obtained through tools such as Cookies, Server Logs, Unique Identifiers, Advertising Identifiers, Location Data, and Clear Gifs (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with our third-party business partners for the purposes described in the section above on "How We Collect and Use Information." We may also aggregate or otherwise strip data of all personally identifying characteristics (such as your name and email address) and may share that aggregated, anonymized data with third parties.
e)Ads on the Service: We may also share certain information and data, such as Location Data, browser and Cookie data, Unique Identifier data, Advertising Identifier data and other data relating to your use of our Service, with our advertising partners to deliver advertisements (“Ads”) that may be of interest to you. We may allow third party advertisers, including but not limited to direct advertisers, ad networks, ad exchanges, and private advertising marketplaces (collectively “Advertisers”), to serve advertisements on the Service. These Advertisers use technology to send, directly to your browser or mobile device, the Ads and ad links that appear on the Service and will automatically receive your Internet Protocol (IP) address when they do so. They may also use other technologies (such as Cookies, JavaScript, Unique Identifiers, Advertising Identifiers, Location Data, and Clear Gifs) to compile information about your browser's or device's visits and usage patterns on or off the Service and between multiple platforms such as your computer and your mobile device, measure the effectiveness of their ads, and personalize the advertising content to your interests. You can opt out of receiving certain Cookies by adjusting your browser settings to refuse certain Cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed. Your browser settings may not permit you to block the use of certain non-Cookie technologies, and those browser settings that block Cookies may have no effect on such techniques. You may also reset Advertising Identifiers and limit advertising tracking (See "Your Choices About Your Information" below).
Please note that Advertisers may ask us to show an ad to a certain audience of users (e.g., based on demographics or other interests). In that situation, we may (i) determine the target audience and serve the Ads to that audience, or (ii) provide certain data as described above to the Advertisers to enable them to serve the Ads to the target audience. If you respond to such an ad, the Advertiser or ad server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach.
f)Data Analysis:We may use third-party data analysis service providers to collect data and to provide information to us on the performance of our Service. These companies may use information about your use of the Service and other websites and mobile applications to compare information about the performance of our Service. These companies do not use personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, email address or telephone number) when performing data analysis. These companies may also use non-Cookie technologies to recognize your computer, browser, or mobile device and/or to collect and record information about your browsing activity, including your activities on or off the Service and between multiple platforms such as your computer and your mobile device. Please keep in mind that your browser settings may not permit you to block the use of these non-Cookie technologies, and those browser settings that block Cookies may have no effect on such techniques.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third party Advertisers.
Please consult the respective privacy policies of such Advertisers or contact such Advertisers for more information.
4. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We care about the security of your information, and take physical, technological, and administrative measures to protect the information you submit via the Service against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or modification. However, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
