15. How to Contact Us
1. 1. 1. About This Privacy Policy
This privacy policy (the “Policy”) explains what data the NBA Family collects
from you through our interactions with you and through our products, services,
events and programs – including our websites, apps and digital platforms (each a
“Service,” and collectively, the “Services”).
“The NBA Family” means the National Basketball Association (“NBA”), the Women’s
National Basketball Association (“WNBA”), the NBA Gatorade League (“G-League”),
the NBA 2K League, the Basketball Africa League, their respective teams, and
each of their respective affiliates (also referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”).
By using any of the Services, you consent to the terms of this Policy.
Return to Top
1. 1. 2. Data That We Collect and Receive
When you interact with us through the Services, we may collect data from you or
from other sources. This “data” may be information that you directly provide to
us, such as personal information you provide when you visit the Services, or
information that is passively or automatically collected from you, such as
anonymous information collected from your browser or device. The categories of
other sources from which we collect personal data include our affiliates,
partners, vendors, data brokers and public sources.
The data we collect consists of personal identifiers, commercial information,
Internet/other electronic network activity information, geolocation data,
professional or employment-related information, characteristics of protected
classifications, and inferences drawn from this information. More specifically,
the data we collect includes:
* Data that you provide directly when you register for, or use, the Services.
This data will vary, but typically consists of name, email address, postal
address, phone number and other similar contact data. We also receive data
from the communications you send to us, such as customer service inquiries,
product reviews and other feedback regarding the Services.
* User credentials, such as username, password, password hints and similar
security information used to create an account and authenticate users of the
Services.
* Demographic data, such as age, gender, country and language preference.
* Payment data, such as credit card information and billing address.
* Device data, such as type of device, operating system and other software
installed on the device, device settings, IP address, device identifiers and
error reports.
* Usage data, such as the programs and features you access, items you purchase,
and the timing, frequency and duration of your interactions through the
Services.
* Location data, such as IP addresses received from your device.
* Information about your interests and preferences, such as your favorite teams
and players, your home city or your communications preferences. In addition
to what you provide directly, we may infer your interests and preferences
from other data we collect, such as the content and advertisements you
interact with while using the Services.
* Third party integrations. If you connect your use of the Services through a
third party service (e.g., a social media platform), the third party may
share certain information from your third party account with us.
* Other third party data, such as data from our affiliates, partners or
vendors, data brokers or public sources.
Return to Top
1. 1. 3. How We Use Data
We use the data we collect for the following purposes:
Operating our business. We use the data we collect to operate our business,
including providing and improving the Services. Specifically:
* To fulfill transactions that you request.
* To deliver location-based Services and comply with territorial restrictions.
* To diagnose and fix problems with the Services and providing other customer
support services.
* For analytical purposes to better understand our fans and how they use the
Services, which allows us to continually improve and expand the Services.
* To build predictive models, which allow us to tailor the Services based on
the data we have about how our fans use the Services.
Communicating with you. We use the data we collect to communicate with you,
including responding to your requests or inquiries. Specifically:
* To respond to your request if you contact us with a question or concern.
* To provide information about your account, your use of the Services or other
transactions that you request.
* To deliver news, updates and other types of communications, according to your
subscriptions, alerts and other preferences.
Marketing and advertising. We use the data we collect for marketing or
advertising purposes, on behalf of ourselves, as well as our partners and other
parties. Specifically:
* To send you promotional messages and deliver advertisements about products,
services, programs or events that may be of interest to you. These may be
offered by, or on behalf of, the NBA Family, or by our partners and other
third parties with whom we have a relationship.
The promotional messages and advertisements that you see may be determined by
data that we collect or receive about you, such as your demographic data,
location data, usage data, interests and preferences. We refer to this as
“interest-based advertising”.
Security, compliance and enforcement. We use the data we collect for security,
compliance and enforcement purposes. Specifically:
* To protect the safety and security of our fans and our Services.
* To detect and prevent abuse, fraud or other unlawful or unauthorized
activities.
* To resolve disputes.
* To enforce our agreements, including our policies and terms of service that
govern your use of the Services.
We may also use your data in any other manner as disclosed at the time of
collection, or when we have otherwise obtained consent. Please also note that
this Policy is not intended to place any limits on what we do with aggregated,
pseudonymized or anonymized data.
Return to Top
1. 1. 4. How We Share and Disclose Data
There are times when the data we collect may be shared by the NBA Family. We
share your data for the following purposes:
Providing the Services. We sometimes engage or partner with other companies to
operate the Services or perform certain functions on our behalf – for example,
maintaining our fan database, delivering messages and advertising, operating our
websites and digital platforms. We may provide these companies with access to
your data as needed for them to perform these functions in a manner consistent
with this Policy. For more information about who these companies are, and how
they use your data, please see the “Third Party Sites and Sections” section of
this Policy below.
Among the NBA Family. We share personal data among the companies within the NBA
Family to provide and improve the Services, to build predictive models to better
understand our fans, to send promotional messages and advertisements about
products and services that may be of interest to you, and for other purposes
consistent with this Policy.
As part of a change in business structure. In the event of a sale, merger,
acquisition, reorganization or similar event, or in contemplation of such an
event (e.g., due diligence), your data may be among the transferred assets.
When necessary under certain circumstances. We may disclose your personal data
when we believe that disclosure is necessary to:
* Comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process.
* Protect the safety and security of our fans or our Services.
* Prevent fraud, abuse or other unlawful or unauthorized activities.
* Protect the rights or property of us or third parties, including enforcing
the terms of our agreements.
We may also share your data for any other purpose as disclosed at the time of
collection, or when we have otherwise obtained consent. Please note that this
Policy is not intended to limit our ability to share or disclose aggregated,
pseudonymized or anonymized data.
Return to Top
1. 1. 5. What Choices You Have
You have many choices about how we collect, use and share your data.
Communications choices. You can choose whether you wish to receive promotional
messages from the NBA Family and which types of messages you wish to receive.
If you receive promotional messages from us and would like to opt out, you may
do so by following instructions within those messages. You may also adjust your
communications preferences by logging into your NBA account and viewing your
preferences. Please note that these preferences do not apply to informational
or transactional communications regarding the Services or other communications
that have their own unsubscribe method.
Advertising choices. You can opt out of interest-based advertising as described
in this section and in the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section of this
Policy. When you opt out, your selection is stored on a cookie on your device.
If you delete the cookie from that device or sign in from a different device,
you will need to opt out again.
Because the data used for interest-based advertising is also used for other
necessary purposes (including providing the Services and for authentication and
security purposes), opting out of interest-based advertising does not stop the
data from being collected nor reduce the number of advertisements you will see.
However, the data will not be used for interest-based advertising, which means
the advertisements you do see may be less relevant to you.
When using a mobile application, you may receive interest-based in-application
advertisements. Depending on your device, you may be able to reset your mobile
device’s advertising identifier at any time by accessing the privacy settings on
your device. In addition, each operating system (e.g., iOS for Apple devices,
Android for Android devices and Windows for Microsoft devices) provides its own
instructions on how to prevent the delivery of interest-based in-application
advertisements. You may review the support materials and/or the privacy
settings for the respective operating system in order to opt-out of
interest-based in-application advertisements. For any other devices and/or
operating systems, please visit the privacy settings for the applicable device
or contact (or review the applicable privacy web page of) the applicable
platform operator.
Other choices. You also have choices about the data you provide directly to us
when you register for or use the Services. Please note, however, that if you
choose not to provide data that is necessary to provide certain features of the
Services, your use of the Services may not include those features.
You can access, edit or remove information in your user account by visiting
https://secure.nba.com/membership/user/login/. If you cannot access your
account, or if you would like to request that we delete other personal data
referenced in this Policy, you may visit us at http://privacy.nba.com or contact
us using any of the methods described in the “How to Contact Us” section of this
Policy.
You can choose not to share certain location data by adjusting the settings on
your device. Please note, however, that if you choose not to share this data,
you may not be able to access or use location-based Services.
You can choose to limit the data that third party services (e.g., social media
platforms) share with us using the options provided to you by the applicable
third party service (for example, the options provided by a third party social
media platform when you connect your social media account with the Services).
You can also disconnect your use of the Services from the third party service at
any time using the options provided to you by the applicable third party
service. Please note, however, that if you disconnect from the third party
service, that will not delete the data we may have previously collected while
you were connected.

1. 1. 6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”)
to provide the Services and to collect data. In addition, third parties may
also use Tracking Technologies when you use the Services; for example, if we
engaged a third party to operate the Services, or because the Services contain
content or advertisements delivered by third parties. These Tracking
Technologies consist of:
* Cookies are small text files that are unique to your device or browser. They
can either be session-based (i.e., lasting only while your browser is open
and automatically deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (i.e.,
lasting until you delete them or they expire).
* Locally stored objects. Locally stored objects (“LSOs”), also commonly called
“Flash cookies,” are stored on your device or browser to provide Services
that use Adobe Flash technology.
* Web beacons. “Web beacons” or clear GIFs are small pieces of code placed on a
Service to collect data about users of that Service.
* Software development kits. Mobile Software Development Kits (“SDKs”) are bits
of computer code used by mobile app developers to enable or enhance various
features of a mobile app. For example, an app developer may include an SDK
within a mobile app that enables advertisements to be shown, data to be
collected, and related services or analytics to be performed in connection
with the mobile app.
We use Tracking Technologies for the following purposes:
* Sign-in/authentication. When you sign into your account to use the Services,
we use Tracking Technologies to store your sign-in information. This allows
the Services to remember your user preferences and give you a more tailored
experience based on those preferences. It also allows you to use the
Services without having to sign-in on each page or each time you return.
* We use Tracking Technologies to help detect fraud and abuse of the Services,
including attempts to access the Services without authorization.
* We use Tracking Technologies to gather usage and performance data about the
Services, including counting the number of unique visitors to a particular
Service.
* We use Tracking Technologies to track how many users have seen or clicked on
an advertisement. This allows us to learn which advertising campaigns are
most effective and also to help limit the number of times a user is shown the
same advertisement.
* Interest-based advertising. We use Tracking Technologies to collect
information about your interests so that we can deliver advertising that is
most relevant to your interests.
* Tailoring the Services. We use Tracking Technologies to collect information
about how you use the Services so that we can tailor your experience based on
what is most relevant to your interests.
In some cases, we may work with third parties (for example, third party
operators of the Services) to synchronize our unique, anonymous identifiers
(such as those associated with Tracking Technologies) with the third party’s own
identifiers. This enables us to better achieve each of the purposes described
above.
Managing Tracking Technologies. Most web browsers give you the ability to
manage Tracking Technologies used on a website, including blocking or deleting
them. Please note that if you choose to block Tracking Technologies, you may
not be able to use certain features that depend on those Tracking Technologies
(such as keeping you signed in or remembering your preferences). If you choose
to delete Tracking Technologies, any settings and preferences that were
associated with those Tracking Technologies will also be deleted and may need to
be reset.
You also have the following options to manage Tracking Technologies and opt out
of interest-based advertising:
* For Flash cookies, you can access Flash management tools from Adobe’s
website. In addition, some, but not all, browsers provide the ability to
remove LSOs within cookie and privacy settings.
* You may opt out of interest-based advertising from companies that participate
in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) by visiting their website.
* You may opt out of interest-based advertising from companies that participate
in the Network Advertising Initiative by visiting their website.
* You may opt out of Nielsen proprietary measurement software, which will allow
users to contribute to market research, such as Nielsen TV Ratings, by
visiting their website.
* You may opt out of WarnerMedia News & Sports’ collection, use, and transfer
of data for interest-based advertising by visiting the WarnerMedia targeted
advertising opt out page within the WarnerMedia Privacy Center. Please note
that if you opt out there, WarnerMedia News & Sports will continue to collect
data for other purposes, including research, analytics, and internal
operations. You may continue to receive advertising from WarnerMedia News &
Sports based on your activities on the Services.
* Finally, you may opt-out of interest-based advertising by adjusting your
device or browser settings.
Please note that opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will
stop seeing, or see fewer, advertisements. It does, however, mean that the
advertisements you do see will not be interest-based and may be less relevant to
your interests.
Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features that send an automated
signal to the websites that you visit using that browser. At this time, the
Services do not recognize or respond to these signals. However, you can adjust
your preferences regarding the data we collect using the tools and methods
described above.

1. 1. 7. Security of Data
The NBA Family takes security seriously. We take a number of steps to protect
your data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. These steps take into
account the sensitivity of the data we collect and use, as well as the current
state of technology. This includes, for example, storing your data on systems
that have limited access and are maintained in controlled facilities. We also
use, and require our vendors to use, industry standard security protocols when
processing any payments for your use of the Services.
It is important to remember that no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
We recommend that you help us keep your data safe by taking reasonable steps
such as keeping your passwords private and not disclosing sensitive personal
data in places that can be accessed publicly.
Return to Top
1. 1. 8. Third Party Sites and Sections
We work with a number of third parties to operate the Services. When we engage
third parties in connection with operating the Services, those third parties may
only collect, use or access your data as needed for them to perform these
functions. These third parties include:

Basketball Services, Inc., a WarnerMedia News and Sports property, including
its affiliates (“Turner”), to operate the NBA.com website, mobile site and

available at: https://www.warnermediaprivacy.com/affiliates/. This list may
be updated from time-to-time, so please check back periodically to keep

however, that these third parties may supplement data collected or received in

disclosures posted on those websites, platforms and services. Within the past

protected classifications, and inferences drawn from this information.

information on how those Third Party Sites collect, use and share data, we
suggest that you contact the operators of those Third Party Sites directly.

1. 1. 9. Children and Parents
Although there are NBA fans of all ages, the Services are not directed at
children under the age of 16, and our policy is to not knowingly collect
personal data from children under the age of 13, nor to sell personal data of
individuals under the age of 16. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor
their children’s online behavior, put parental control tools in place, and teach
children not to provide their personal data through the Services without
parental consent. For certain activities in which children are allowed to
participate (e.g., Jr. NBA clinics), any request for personal data (such as
registration data) is intended for and directed to the parent or legal guardian.
If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided
personal data to us without parental consent, please visit us at

1. 1. 10. Storing Data
Personal data collected by the NBA Family may be stored and processed in the
region in which it is collected, in the United States, and in any other region
where we maintain major operations. We maintain offices in Brazil, Canada,
China, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, the Philippines, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan,
the United Kingdom and the United States. We take steps to ensure that the data
we collect under this Policy is stored and processed in accordance with this
Policy regardless of where the data is located. By providing personal data in
connection with the Services, you acknowledge and agree that such personal data
may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of the
NBA Family and our authorized third party service providers located in the
United States. Our practice when transferring personal data is to rely on
standard data protection contract clauses or individual consent.
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Services and
fulfill the transactions you have requested, or for other necessary purposes
such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes and enforcing
our agreements. Because these factors vary for different types of personal
data, actual retention periods may vary. The criteria we use to determine the
appropriate retention periods include:
* How long is the personal data needed to provide the Services? This is the
baseline for most data retention periods.
* Do users expect that we will retain the personal data until they
affirmatively remove it? For example, if a user is able to directly access,
edit or remove the personal data at any time, we may maintain the data until
the user affirmatively removes it.
* Is the personal data of a sensitive type? If so, a shortened data retention
period will generally apply.
* Has the user provided consent for a longer retention period? If so, we will
retain the data in accordance with the user’s consent.
* Are we subject to a legal, contractual or similar obligation to retain the
personal data? If so, we will retain the data in accordance with our
obligations.
