The Privacy Policy has been updated as of January 1, 2023. For details on
exercising rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the
California Privacy Right Act; the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act; or the
Colorado Privacy Act, click here.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY (THIS "PRIVACY POLICY") CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
THIS WEBSITE, APPLICATION OR ANY OTHER MLB ADVANCED MEDIA, L.P. PRODUCT OR
SERVICE.
MLB Advanced Media, L.P. ("MLB") is the organization that produces and publishes
the Official Website of Major League Baseball, which encompasses MLB.com, the
Official Websites of the thirty (30) Major League Baseball clubs (collectively
"MLB Clubs" and each an "MLB Club"), the Official Websites of certain other
MLB-related properties (collectively, this "Website"), downloadable mobile

("Application(s)"), mobile games available from Other Companies’ application
storefronts (e.g., Beat the Streak, R.B.I. Baseball) ("Mobile Games"), games and
other applications available from Other Companies’ social media locations and
gaming websites (e.g., MLB Ballpark Empire) ("Social Games" and together with
Mobile Games, "Games"). For customers within the European Union and European
Economic Area ("EEA"), MLB is the data controller of your personal data, which
we also refer to as personal information. To contact us, please see the contact

this Website, Applications, Games and all products and services provided and/or
distributed (whether via this Website or elsewhere) by MLB which link to this
Privacy Policy, all of which will be referred to herein collectively as the "MLB

Policy, "MLB Entities" means MLB, the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball,

If you submit personal information to us, or to any Other Company acting on our
behalf (a "Service Provider"), via the MLB Properties, we may use and disclose
your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, as disclosed when you
first submit your information or as otherwise permissible under applicable law.
We will not sell, lease, publish, disclose or share your personal information

and disclose your personal information as described in Section 1 above and:
* To provide you with information you have requested, or with products,

a sweepstakes, rewards program, subscription to goods or services, etc.) and
to communicate with you (including via postal mail) about the same;
* To communicate with you about the league or MLB Club(s) applicable to your
interactions with the MLB Properties and about products, services, sponsors,
partners or affiliates related to a purchase you have made or rules or terms
to which you have agreed, to the extent the sending of such communication is
permissible under applicable law;
* With one or more MLB Clubs or other MLB Entities, to the extent you've
submitted information or accessed functionality or content that relates
specifically to such MLB Club(s) or other MLB Entities (e.g., you've asked to
receive the email newsletter of an MLB Club or you've made an MLB
Club-specific purchase), so we and they may learn more about fans like you,
add you to the MLB Club's postal mail list, and provide better services to
you;
* To send you periodic surveys to help improve the MLB Properties or your Major
League Baseball experience;
* In connection with loyalty, membership or rewards programs operated or
accessible from the MLB Properties;
* When the personally identifying components of your information are removed,
we may use and disclose such anonymized information for internal purposes
amongst MLB Entities (e.g., to learn about the age distribution of our

such information to us; and
* To provide your personal information to other MLB Entities where necessary
for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
For customers in the EEA, we are required to give you information about the
legal basis on which we process your personal information. In some cases, such
as where you have purchased a service, the processing of your personal
information will be necessary in order to perform a contract with you. In many
other cases, the processing will be necessary for the purpose of legitimate
interests we are pursuing, namely the facilitation of the purposes for which
your personal information is processed as set out above.
3. OTHER INFORMATION COLLECTED
Technical Information. When you use the MLB Properties, we use software tools,
including but not limited to cookies (small amounts of data which include a
unique string of characters sent to your browser or application from a website's
computers and stored on your computer's or device's hard drive), web beacons
(technology used to track activity, also known as pixel tags) and similar
technologies, to collect a variety of information, for example the IP address of
the computer or device used to access an MLB Property, the type of Internet
browser or operating system used to access an MLB Property, the date and
duration of a Website visit or the IP address used to access the Website. We use
such technical information for internal purposes, for example to study and
improve the response times of our Website. We may associate such technical
information with personal information you provide to us as described in Section
1 above, in which case we will treat such associated information as personal
information. Please be advised that associating technical information with
personal information may be required for us, and our Service Providers, to
recognize you and your communications with us, for example to retain your
newsletter preferences or enable your use of a "shopping cart." Customers within
the EEA will be asked for consent prior to the setting of cookies.
Location Data. When you use an MLB Property via a wireless device we may solicit
your permission to collect your location data. Some features within our
Applications (e.g., live Major League Baseball game video or location-based
offers) may only function upon confirmation of your location, and therefore such
features will not be available if you choose not to provide your location data
to us. The specificity of the location data collected may depend on a number of
factors, including the device you are using (e.g., laptop, smartphone, tablet)
and how you are connected to the Internet (e.g., via cable broadband connection,
Wi-Fi). If you enable location services for our Applications, we may collect
location data (e.g., zip code) periodically as you use or leave open our
Applications. We use such location information for internal purposes and to
improve your MLB Property experience, for example to understand where our users
are most successfully accessing the MLB Properties. We may associate such
location information with personal information you provide to us as described in
Section 1 above, in which case we will treat such associated information as
personal information. Depending on the platform you use to access our
Applications (e.g., Apple's iOS, Google's Android) you may be able to control
whether location data is collected from within "Settings" or other controls on
your wireless device or the Applications.
Our Access to Your Contacts. When you use our Games, we may solicit your
permission to access your contacts list (e.g., address book) so you can be
matched with individuals from your contacts list who participate in our Games
and you can invite your friends to play. We will not store the information in
your contacts list except to manage your Game invitations.
Other Companies’ Cookies and Web Beacons; Network Advertisers; Targeted
Advertising. We allow and use select Service Providers and/or Other Companies
that may act as third parties as defined under applicable data privacy laws,
such as those who deliver advertisements, content, or social networking or which
provide other services associated with the MLB Properties, to collect data
and/or serve ads when you visit MLB Properties. We may also make available
certain data you have given to us (e.g., IP address) or that we have collected
through publicly available means to third parties engaged in targeting
advertisements on the MLB Properties including for use in accordance with such
third party's privacy policy. Network advertisers may use information (not
including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your
visits to MLB Properties in order to provide advertisements about goods and
services of interest to you. This may happen through permission given to such
third parties to set cookies, web beacons or similar technologies in certain
locations within the MLB Properties, including but not limited to certain of our
emails. Third party companies that manage and deliver advertisements to websites
and applications such as ours are commonly referred to as "network advertisers."
A permitted network advertiser may use cookies, web beacons or similar
technologies to collect information about your interaction with the MLB
Properties in order to tailor certain advertisements and content delivered
within the MLB Properties and on other websites within such network advertiser's
ad network. These companies may also use non-cookie technologies to recognize
your computer or device and/or to collect and record information about your web
surfing activity including your activities on or off MLB Properties. Please keep
in mind that your web browser 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. You may learn more about network advertising
industry practices and opt out of targeted behavioral advertising from many
major third party network advertisers and to know your choices about not having
this information used by these companies via the information and tools available
here and hereat http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and
http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
To facilitate the activity described above and below, we use a Service Providers
to convert your email address into a unique code (hashed email address or
telephone number), which is then provided to the advertiser, Other Companies,
including Other Companies that may act as third parties as defined under
applicable data privacy laws, and/or Service Providers as set forth in this
Privacy Policy.
Other Advertising. We disclose certain data to Social Networks (as defined
below) such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Snapchat to allow us to target
existing users and customers with highly relevant advertising campaigns. We will
not share your name, address, email address or telephone number for the purposes
of such campaigns. Instead, a unique code (hashed email address) is disclosed to
the applicable Social Network in order for that identifier to be matched against
existing users of the relevant Social Network and to identify potentially
relevant audiences for targeted advertising. We use services such as LinkedIn
Matched Audiences and Facebook Custom Audiences for these purposes. If you do
not wish to receive advertisements in this way, please follow the links in the
paragraph above.
In addition to advertisements for our own goods and services, we may also
facilitate Other Companies, including Other Companies that may act as third
parties as defined under applicable data privacy laws, to advertise their own
and/or Other Companies’ goods and services including by targeting those
advertisements to those that might be most interested in them. These
advertisements may be shown within our Games. This is done using information
which does not include your name, address, email address or telephone number and
we will not share or sell any of your personal information to third party
advertisers other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In order to provide
advertisements relevant to you, your IP address will be used, as well as your
operating system and device type. Information about your particular device will
be used to show you advertisements which work properly on that device.

Companies’ social networking services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google +) (each

information and activity with your Social Network information and activity. If
you authorize such a connection, you permit us to disclose, share and/or publish
information about your MLB Property activity with that Social Network and its
users, and to access certain of your Social Network information, as disclosed to
you at the time you consent to the connection. Information we may share with a
Social Network may include, but is not limited to, technical information about
your MLB Property activity, your MLB Property comments or the videos you watch
on MLB Properties. Information we may access about you, with your consent, from
a Social Network may include, but is not limited to, your basic Social Network
information, your location data, your list of contacts, friends or followers and
certain information about your activities on the Social Network. If you permit a
connection between a Social Network and an MLB Property, we (and that Social
Network) may be able to identify you and to associate information received
pursuant to the connection with information we already have about you. We
recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Privacy Policy and privacy
control options of any Social Network with which you choose to disclose
information or connect to an MLB Property.
Device ID. When you use certain MLB Properties, we or our Service Provider may
collect your unique Device ID. We may use such information for internal purposes
and to provide you a better MLB Property experience, for example to troubleshoot
Application problems you may experience or provide you rewards or offers in
connection with your Game activity. We may associate Device ID with personal
information you provide to us as described in Section 1 above, in which case we
will treat such associated information as personal information. You may learn
more about our Service Provider for Mobile Games and opt out of any anonymous
Device ID collection via the privacy settings available within your mobile

of the MLB Properties, we will capture information regarding that use and we may

events operated or controlled by MLB, an MLB Club, or an MLB Entity, there may

marketing, promotional or other purposes. The terms and conditions applicable to
your access to the applicable facility, game or event may include terms
regarding the capture and use of video or audiovisual recordings and you should
familiarize yourself with those terms. Furthermore, at certain games or events
operated by MLB, an MLB Club or any MLB Entity, consent may be separately sought
for the capture and use of video or audiovisual content for purposes set forth
in that consent. This video or audiovisual content may be utilized by MLB, an
MLB Club or an MLB Entity pursuant to this Privacy Policy to produce, exhibit,
advertise or otherwise use your image, voice or likeness in any and all media
now or existing in future as part of the MLB Entities’ commercial, advertising
and marketing activities. It may also be used to provide security services, to
train personnel regarding security practices and in connection with legal action
or regulatory investigation. You may also elect to provide us with Submitted
Content (as defined in the Terms of Use), and consent to their use for
marketing, promotional or other purposes, and otherwise pursuant to this Privacy
Policy, on certain applicable MLB Properties and/or via applicable Social

We will not deny services, charge different prices, offer a different quality of
service or otherwise discriminate against you for exercising your California,
Virginia or Colorado privacy rights, as applicable. Nothing in this section
prohibits MLB from charging you a different price or rate, or from providing a
different level or quality of goods or services to you, if that difference is

to the value of your personal information for the collection, sale, or deletion
of your personal information.
I. INFORMATION REGARDING AUTHORIZED AGENTS
You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you
choose to do so, MLB may require you to (1) provide the authorized agent written
permission to do so and (2) verify your own identity and residency directly. MLB
may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been
authorized by the consumer to act on their behalf.
J. RIGHT TO APPEAL
If you are a Colorado or a Virginia resident, and MLB denies your request to
exercise any of the data rights described above, you have the right to appeal
our decision within a reasonable period of time after your receipt of our
decision.
You may appeal our decision by sending an email to dataprivacy@mlb.com. We will
respond to an appeal within 60 days of receipt for residents of Virginia, and
within 45 days of receipt for residents of Colorado. We may extend the response
period by 60 additional days for residents of Colorado where reasonably
necessary and, if we extend the response period, we will inform you of the
extension within 45 days after our receipt of your appeal. Our response to your
appeal will inform you of decisions and actions in response to your appeal,
including an explanation of the reasons for the decisions.
If you have concerns about the results of your appeal, you have the right to
contact your state attorney general. If your appeal is denied and you are a
Virginia resident, you may contact the Virginia Attorney General to submit a
complaint at:

M. SHINE THE LIGHT LAW
If you are a resident of California, pursuant to California Civil Code Section
1798.83, you may request information regarding our disclosure of your personal
information to a third party for that party's direct marketing purposes. Any
such disclosure made to a third party by us would be otherwise in accordance
with the terms of this Privacy Policy. To make such a request please click here
or write to us at: MLB Advanced Media, L.P., Privacy Administrator, 1271 Avenue
of the Americas, New York, New York 10020.
N. DO NOT TRACK REQUESTS
“Do Not Track” signals are options on your browser that inform website operators
that you would not like to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there
is no industry standard regarding any appropriate action that websites should
take when they receive “Do Not Track” signals. As there is no industry standard,
please note that we do not alter our Website’s data and information collection
and use practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from your browser.
O. LOYALTY PROGRAM DISCLOSURES
If you are a resident of California or Colorado and you participate in a
loyalty, rewards, premium feature, discount, or club card program established by
an MLB Entity for the purpose of providing discounts, rewards, or other value to
you in connection with your participation (each, if any, a “Loyalty Program”),
we may disclose and/or share your personal information as set forth in this
Privacy Policy and/or pursuant to any separate consent you may provide in
connection with your participation in the Loyalty Program. You may cease your
participation in any Loyalty Program at any time by following the instructions
provided in connection with the Loyalty Program or by contacting 866-800-1275.
8. OTHER INFORMATION; CONTACT US
* No Spyware or Adware. We do not install any Spyware or Adware in connection
with the MLB Properties, or distribute any commercial message, or authorize
any third party to distribute any commercial message, by means of Spyware or
Adware. "Spyware" or "Adware" is any software which has been downloaded to or
installed on an Internet user's computer or device, without the user's actual
consent, and facilitates the distribution of any commercial message to the
user. If you feel you may have Spyware from another company installed on your
machine, there are various anti-Spyware/Adware software applications
available on the Internet to identify if this has occurred.
* Our Security Practices. The account information associated with the MLB
Properties is password protected for your privacy and security. You choose
your password for the MLB Properties so the strength of that password is
determined by you. We recommend that you choose a unique password and not
share your password with anyone else. In certain areas, we use
industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions.
* Links. The MLB Properties contain links to other websites and products
produced by MLB and to websites and products operated by unrelated Other
Companies. In addition, if you click on an advertisement within the MLB
Properties, you may be directed to a web page within the MLB Properties or to
a third party website or product. We are not responsible for the privacy
practices of third party websites or products, and we encourage you to read
the privacy policies of every website and product that collects personally
identifiable information from you. This Privacy Policy applies only to the
MLB Properties, unless you are notified otherwise upon accessing any third
party website or product, in which case the terms and conditions set forth in
such notification will apply.
* Your Nevada Privacy Rights. If you are a resident of Nevada, in accordance
with Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A, you may request that we do not
sell certain of your personally identifiable information (your "Covered
Information" as defined in NRS Chapter 603A) by sending a request to
dataprivacy@mlb.com.
* Special Rules For Children. Because of federal law, we are not permitted to
knowingly collect any personal information from a child under the age of
thirteen without the consent of that child's parent or guardian. The
statements in this Privacy Policy about our collection and use of personal
information also apply to our treatment of personal information from children
under the age of thirteen. Some elements of the MLB Properties (e.g., shop,
ticketing, and auctions) require the submission of a payment card number
along with personal information in connection with a purchase; other elements
of the MLB Properties (e.g., fantasy baseball) require the submission of
personal information to access or use the MLB Properties. Except in certain
cases where limited contact information may be collected and not retained,
these elements of the MLB Properties are not available to children under the
age of thirteen. If a child who we know to be under the age of thirteen and
for whom we have not received parental consent attempts to utilize a service
on the MLB Properties which is not available to children, he/she will not be
able to access it and may receive a message which relays that he/she is not
eligible for such feature. For children located in jurisdictions within the
EU or EEA, where this Privacy Policy refers to consent, this will require the
consent of a parent or legal guardian in relation to any person under the age
specified by the law applicable to the location of the child in question.

Privacy Policy, you can contact us at:

Policy, we will post a notification and link within the MLB Properties so
