General Policy

This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) discloses the practices of Ace Volley App. (“Ace”, “we”, “our” or “us”) concerning the information we obtain by and through your access to and/or use of: (a) the AceVolleyApp platform (“Platform”); (b) the website located at https://acevolleyapp.com including all subdomains (the “Site”); (c) the Ace mobile application (the “App”); (d) the content, functionality, and services offered by or through the Platform or the Site (collectively, the “Content”); and (e) any of our other services or products. The Platform, Site, App, Content, and any of our other services and products are collectively referred to herein as the “Services.”

Ace is committed to respecting your privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information that you share with us. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain: (i) the types of information Ace obtains about visitors to our Site, users of our App, and users of our other Services; (ii) how the information is obtained; (iii) how it is used; (iv) the choices you have regarding our use of; and (iv) your ability to review and correct, the information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, you do not have permission to access and/or use the Services. By using the Services, you are accepting and consenting to the use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

The Ace Platform may be used and accessed by sports organizers who use the Ace sports management software to interact with sports registrants and/or by the sports registrants themselves. The term “sports registrants” refers to member account holders who are either: (A) sports registrants over sixteen (16) years of age; or (B) the parents or legal guardians of youth sports registrants under sixteen (16) years of age. As such, certain features of the Services may be offered to users directly by Ace, or through one or more third party league organizers who offer a white-label or private-label version of the Services to their respective sports registrants.

This Privacy Policy describes how Ace collects, manages, and uses information collected through the Services, but your use of and access to the Services may also be governed by additional policies or agreements entered into directly between sports registrants and organizers. Ace is not responsible for the practices of third parties that Ace does not own or control or individuals that Ace does not employ or manage. However, sports organizers agree to provide their respective sports registrants with at least the same level of protection as that provided to users by Ace by and through this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about whether any third party sports organizer policies or agreements apply to your use of the Site, App, and/or Services, please contact the applicable sports organizer.

How do we protect your information

We endeavor to safeguard and protect our users’ personal information. When users make personal information available to us, their personal information is protected both online and offline (to the extent that we maintain any personal information offline). Where our registration/application process prompts users to enter sensitive data and when we store and transmit such sensitive data, that personal information is encrypted with advanced TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Please be advised, however, that while we take every reasonable precaution available to protect your data, no storage facility, technology, software, security protocols or data transmission over the Internet or via wireless networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Computer hackers that circumvent our security measures may gain access to certain portions of your personal information, and technological bugs, errors and glitches may cause inadvertent disclosures of your personal information; provided, however, that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software may constitute a crime punishable by law. For the reasons mentioned above, we cannot warrant that your personal information will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through the Site, App, other Services or otherwise via the Internet or wireless networks, is done at your own risk.

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. To improve the services and opportunities it can offer you, Ace may opt to expand its capabilities for obtaining information about users in the future. Ace will update this Privacy Policy continually to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area. We will post those changes on the Site and in the App so that you will always know what information we collect online on or through the Site, App and/or Services, how we use that information, and what choices you have with respect to same. Your continued use of the Site and the Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes; provided, however, that if the manner in which we use personal information changes, Ace will notify users by: (a) sending the modified policy to our users via e-mail; and/or (b) by any other reasonable means acceptable under applicable state and federal law. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner and we will only use your information in this different manner where you opt-in to such use.
