Privacy Policy

Last modified: June 1, 2022

Introduction

Global Scouting Database, Inc. (“ScoutUs Pro,” "Company" or "We") respects your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.

This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit https://www.scoutuspro.com/ or one of our other websites, applications or other services from Company (each referred to herein as a “Site” and collectively, the “Sites”) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

NOTICE: THIS PRIVACY POLICY CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US RELATING TO THE SITE OR THE SERVICES, THIS PRIVACY POLICY OR ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN MUST BE ARBITRATED, AND YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO (1) ASSERT CLAIMS AGAINST US IN COURT; (2) PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS ACTION; AND (3) HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CASE.  YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO HAVE ALL OF YOUR CLAIMS ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.  YOU ALSO AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

ScoutUs Pro offers a platform through which amateur athletes (“Athletes”) and the professional scouts and recruiters that are seeking to work with and/or sign them to a professional sports franchise (“Recruiters”) can connect with each other directly to exchange requirements, qualifications, statistics, capabilities, highlight reels and related information to explore potential recruitment of the Athlete to a team (“Recruitment”). ScoutUs Pro only provides a service to facilitate the Recruitment.  ScoutUs Pro does not offer any positions or Recruitment itself, does not manage or take any part in any relationship between an Athlete and a Recruiter or any team they may represent or any transactions between them, does not guarantee any performance by Athletes or the reliability of any position or Recruitment offered by the Recruiter or any team they may represent or any other aspect, term or condition of the Recruitment, including, without limitation, whether it complies with all requisite legal requirements.  These parties may contact you directly to discuss or offer potential opportunities. Information collected may also be used to send information from ScoutUs Pro and its partners about opportunities, provide personalized content and advertising from ScoutUs Pro and third parties as set forth more fully in this Privacy Policy.  Also, ScoutUs Pro may use this information to inform you of additional services and to conduct surveys and improve the ScoutUs Pro service.

Please be aware that ScoutUs Pro is not responsible for the contents and the privacy practices of other sites. Athletes disclose information about themselves and User Content (defined below) to ScoutUs Pro and ScoutUs Pro provides a platform for Recruiters to obtain the information and content for the reasons set forth above. Once the information or content is obtained by a Recruiter and/or the teams they represent, ScoutUs Pro assumes no responsibility or liability for what that Recruiter or team does with it; provided that the Recruiter has contractually agreed to use the information for screening and other legitimate and lawful purposes set forth above.

This policy applies to information we collect:

• On the Site(s).
• In email, text, and other electronic messages between you and the Sites.
• Through mobile and desktop applications you download from this Site, which provide dedicated non-browser-based interaction between you and the Site.
• When you interact with our advertising and applications on third-party websites and services, if those applications or advertising include links to this policy.

It does not apply to information collected by:

• Us offline or through any means other than through a Site; or
• Any third party (including our affiliates and subsidiaries), including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or through the Sites.

Please read this 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, your choice is not to use our Sites. By accessing or using the Sites, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Sites after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Please be advised that if you request that we do not share your personal information with any third parties at all or do not want us to do so, then do not use our service, do not provide any personal information in any profile or through or on the Sites, and if you have already done so and later ask that we do not share such information, then we will have no choice but to terminate our services concerning you as an Athlete user and potential candidate for Recruiters and the applicable Recruiter may decide you are not eligible to be scouted or considered since that is the entire reason for engaging ScoutUs Pro’s services in the first place.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Sharing Personal Information

We may share your personal information by disclosing it to a third party for a business purpose. We only make these business purpose disclosures under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract. In the preceding twelve (12) months and/or in the future, Company has disclosed or may disclose personal information for a business purpose to the categories of third parties indicated in the chart below.

We may also share your personal information by selling it to third parties, subject to your right to opt-out of those sales. Our personal information sales do not include information about individuals we know are under age 16. In the preceding twelve (12) months and/or in the future, Company has not sold personal information to the categories of third parties indicated in the chart below. For more on your personal information sale rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA and/or CPRA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Right to Know and Data Portability

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the "right to know"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
• If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
  • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
  • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
• If personal information was shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
8. Comply with a legal obligation.
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

As discussed in our general privacy policy, our services necessarily entail the provision of your personal Information to Recruiters and the teams they represent for the purposes in our Terms and on our Site. If a user or Athlete requests deletion of his or her personal information, then the potential Recruiter will not be able to consider that Athlete as suitable to be scouted or recruited since that is the entire purpose of the Site in the first place and there would be no Athlete information to evaluate. Moreover, once your personal information has been transferred to or uploaded by a Recruiter, such as potential teams or other third parties who will be using the personal information for the purpose of evaluating opportunities for the Athlete, neither we nor our service providers will be able to mandate that such third party delete your personal information since we no longer have control of the data in their possession. Nevertheless, we will pass on your request for deletion of your personal information to such third party unless it is impossible to do so or involves disproportionate effort on our part.   

Right to Correct

You have a right to correct data that we hold about you that is inaccurate.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

You have the right to limit our use of your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such goods or services as well as other specified legitimate business purposes.  “Sensitive personal information” is defined above.  Any of the above information that is already publicly available is not considered to be sensitive personal information.

Exercising Your Rights to Know, Delete or Correct

To exercise your rights to know, correct or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

• Emailing us at info@scoutuspro.com
• Visiting www.ScoutusPro.com

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know, correct or delete must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.

For instructions on exercising your sale, sharing and sensitive personal information use opt-out or opt-in rights, see Personal Information Sales or Sharing Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights and Limitation of Use of Sensitive Personal Information Rights.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact info@scoutuspro.com

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales and Sharing Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights and Limitation of Use of Sensitive Personal Information Rights

If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell or share your personal information or limit the use of your sensitive personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"). We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years old, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the consumer who is between 13 and 15 years old, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years old. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales or sharing may opt-out of future sales at any time.

As discussed above, our services necessarily entail enabling and facilitating the provision of your personal information to Recruiters for the purposes described above, in our Terms and on our Site, and we receive compensation from Recruiters for this service. If an Athlete user opts-out of this, then the potential Recruiter will not be able to consider that Athlete as suitable to scout or consider for placement with a team since that is the entire purpose of the Site in the first place.

Once you make a request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales or sharing. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales or sharing or additional uses of your sensitive personal information at any time.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA or CPRA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA or CPRA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA and CPRA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information's value and contain written terms that describe the program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We currently provide the following financial incentives:

Introduction

This GDPR Privacy Addendum supplements the information in the ScoutUs Pro Privacy Policy and applies to Personal Data about individuals located in the European Economic Area. For purposes of this GDPR Privacy Addendum, Personal Data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

This GDPR Privacy Addendum (the “GDPR Privacy Addendum”) supplements the information contained in the ScoutUs Pro Privacy Policy and applies solely to all users of our Site who are located in the European Economic Area. We adopt this GDPR Privacy Addendum to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) and any implementing acts of the foregoing by any of the member states of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland (“GDPR”) and any terms defined in the GDPR or our Privacy Policy have the same meaning when used in this GDPR Privacy Addendum. This GDPR Privacy Addendum takes precedence over anything contradictory in our Privacy Policy.

Data Controller, Data Protection Officer, and Representative

Global Scouting Database, Inc. is the data controller of the Personal Data you provide on or through our Site.

We may be contacted in any manner set forth below in the “Contact Information” section of this GDPR Privacy Addendum.

Lawful Basis for Processing Your Personal Data

We have a lawful basis for our processing of your Personal Data, including processing for our legitimate interests (when balanced against your rights and freedoms), as required by law, and with your consent.

If you are in the European Union, the processing of your Personal Data is lawful only if it is permitted under the applicable data protection laws. We have a lawful basis for each of our processing activities as set forth more fully below:

Special Categories of Information

Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin.

Genetic data and biometric data processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person.

Data concerning health.

Automated Decisions Making

We generally do not use your Personal Data with any automated decision making processes.

We do not use your Personal Data with any automated decision making process, including profiling, which may produce a legal effect concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.]

Your Rights Regarding Your Information and Accessing and Correcting Your Information

You may have certain rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to access and update your Personal Data, restrict how it is used, transfer certain Personal Data to another controller, withdraw your consent at any time, and the right to have us erase certain Personal Data about you. You may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority about our processing of your Personal Data.

Applicable data protection laws may provide you with certain rights with regards to our processing of your Personal Data.

• Access and Update. You may notify us through the Contact Information below of any changes or errors in any Personal Data we have about you to ensure that it is complete, accurate, and as current as possible. We may not be able to accommodate your request if we believe it would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
• Restrictions. You may have the right to restrict our processing of your Personal Data under certain circumstances. In particular, you can request we restrict our use of it if you contest its accuracy, if the processing of your Personal Data is determined to be unlawful, or if we no longer need your Personal Data for processing but we have retained it as permitted by law.
• Portability. To the extent the Personal Data you provide us is processed based on your consent and that we process it through automated means, you may have the right to request that we provide you a copy of, or access to, all or part of such Personal Data in structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transmit this Personal Data to another controller, when technically feasible.
• Withdrawal of Consent. To the extent that our processing of your Personal Data is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us through the Contact Us page on our Site. You may also withdraw your consent to send you legal updates by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of a legal update that you receive from us. Note that unsubscribing from one of our newsletters in this way only unsubscribes you from that newsletter; you may need to unsubscribe from additional newsletters separately. Withdrawing your consent will not, however, affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your consent before its withdrawal, and will not affect the lawfulness of our continued processing that is based on any other lawful basis for processing your Personal Data.
• Right to be Forgotten. You may have the right to request that we delete all of your Personal Data. We will only delete your Personal Data when we no longer have a lawful basis for processing your Personal Data or after a final determination that your Personal Data was unlawfully processed. We may not accommodate a request to erase information if we believe the deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. In all other cases, we will retain your Personal Data as set forth in this policy. In addition, we cannot completely delete your Personal Data as some data may rest in previous backups. These will be retained for the periods set forth in our disaster recovery policies.
• Complaints. You may have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority in the country you live in, the country you work in, or the country where you believe your rights under applicable data protection laws have been violated. However, before doing so, we request that you contact us directly in order to give us an opportunity to work directly with you to resolve any concerns about your privacy.

As discussed in our general privacy policy, our services necessarily entail the provision of your personal Information to Recruiters and the teams they represent for the purposes in our Terms and on our Site. If a user or Athlete requests deletion of his or her Personal Data or restricts further processing of Personal Data, then the potential Recruiter will not be able to consider that Athlete as suitable to be scouted or recruited since that is the entire purpose of the Site in the first place and there would be no Athlete information to evaluate. Moreover, once your Personal Data has been transferred to or uploaded by a Recruiter, such as potential teams or other third parties who will be using the Personal Data for the purpose of evaluating opportunities for the Athlete, neither we nor our service providers will be able to mandate that such third party delete your Personal Data since we no longer have control of the data in their possession. Nevertheless, we will pass on your request for deletion of your Personal Data to such third party unless it is impossible to do so or involves disproportionate effort on our part.   

How You May Exercise Your Rights. You may exercise any of the above rights (when applicable) by contacting us through any of the methods listed under Contact Information below. If you contact us to exercise any of the foregoing rights, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. We reserve the right to limit or deny your request if you have failed to provide sufficient information to verify your identity or to satisfy our legal and business requirements. Please note that if you make unfounded, repetitive, or excessive requests (as determined in our reasonable discretion) to access your Personal Data, you may be charged a fee subject to a maximum set by applicable law.

Accordingly, your Personal Data may be transferred outside the country where you reside or are located, including to countries that may not or do not provide an equivalent level of protection for your Personal Data. Your information may be processed and stored in the United States and United States federal, state, and local governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your information through the laws of the United States.

The European Commission has determined that the transfer of Personal Data pursuant to the Standard Contractual Clauses may provide for an adequate level of protection of your Personal Data. Under these Standard Contractual Clauses, you have the same rights as if your data was not transferred to such third party.

Data Retention Periods

We may retain your Personal Data. We will retain your Personal Data for as long as you have an account or profile with us.  In some instances, we may keep it after you no longer have an account or profile with us, for example we may keep it:

• on our backup and disaster recovery systems;
• for as long as necessary to protect our legal interests; and
• and to comply with other legal requirements.
• for data that has been aggregated or otherwise rendered anonymous in such a manner that you are no longer identifiable, indefinitely.
