We Care About Your Privacy!
Pier40Baseball.com is strongly committed to your right to privacy and to taking steps designed
to secure your personal and financial information. To earn your trust and confidence in
our commitment, the intent of this policy is to fully disclose our privacy practices to you.
We will only use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to read our policy, and to understand the types of personal information we
collect and how this information is used.
Your Consent
By using our site, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described
in this Privacy Policy, which was last updated on January 01, 2009. Any changes to our
Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page so that you are always aware of the information
we collect and how we use it.
The Personal Information We Collect
Pier40Baseball.com and its partners collect personal information necessary to respond to your
requests for our customized products and services and to allow you to use the resources
available on our website. Personal information includes, but is not limited to, name,
physical address, email address, phone number, age and any other information that itself
identifies or, when tied to the above information, may identify you as a specific individual.
Pier40Baseball.com also uses order forms for you to request certain information, products and
services. On such order forms, we collect your contact information, financial information
(including credit card numbers) and demographic information.
Information we collect in online surveys will include general information on the use of our
site and other demographic information, such as age and income bracket. Survey participants
are anonymous unless otherwise stated in the survey.
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's
hard drive. We use cookies in several ways (and thousands of other sites are currently using
them too!). Cookie files are used to better understand how you go through our website so that
we may tailor your experience at our website. Cookies are also used to tell us whether you have
visited our website previously, and to help us determine whether you came to our website from a
particular Internet link or banner advertisement. Cookies can also be used to help you to save
and retrieve passwords and other information and preferences you use on our website, saving you
from having to re-enter this information upon every visit to our website. Cookies cannot and will
not be used by us to retrieve any personal information about you from your computer that you have
not previously and voluntarily provided to us. However, cookies may also be received when you link
to our partners' sites or when you click on banner advertisements served by our outside advertising
company and we do not have control over how they use this information. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future.
However, most of our features will not function if you do not accept cookies.
When you connect to our website, we record your IP address and information on the type of
operating system (e.g. Windows98) and browser software (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer and
Netscape) you are using. This helps us to diagnose problems with our servers and for system
administration. Your IP address is also used to help gather aggregated demographic information.
If we make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to you, please
remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information.
You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
How Information Is Shared And Used
When you provide information to Pier40Baseball.com, the information is stored in some of our
partners' databases. Such information is used by Pier40Baseball.com in accordance with this Privacy
Policy and by our partners in accordance with their policies. Information we collect is used to
tailor your experience at our site, to show you content that we think you might be interested in,
and to display the content according to your preferences. We also use such personal information
to send you information and promotional materials about us and our partners. Your contact
information may also be used if it becomes necessary to contact you.
To allow you to use some of our features, information we collect will be shared with our partners.
Information collected by us and our partners (for example, when you link to their sites or call a
phone number provided by us) will also be shared with third parties, such as product suppliers,
airlines, car rental agencies, and travel agencies to ensure the successful fulfillment of your
product orders or travel arrangements. In addition, when you use a credit card to purchase goods
and services through our website, your encrypted credit card information will be sent to our
retail partners that provide registry and shopping services or to various sources to authorize
your payment.
Although this Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices or policies of any such
other entities, we intend to require that all of our partners agree not to use your personal
information, except as fully disclosed to you or authorized by you. For more information on
the privacy practices of our partners, we encourage you to read their privacy policies. Any
information we collect may be shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis. In addition, we
may from time to time hire a third party to act on our behalf for projects such as market
research surveys and contest entry processing, and we will provide information to these
third parties specifically for use in connection with these projects. Survey and contest
participation is entirely optional. The information we provide to such third parties will
be protected by a confidentiality agreement that will obligate the third party to use such
information solely to complete the specific project.
In addition to the circumstances described above, we may disclose your information if required
to do so by law, court order, as requested by other government or law enforcement authorities,
or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable, including
(without limitation) when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing interference with
our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise, or when anyone else could be
harmed by such activities.
Choices You Have About The Collection and Use of Your Information
As a user, customer, or contest entrant you will occasionally receive email updates from us
about important functionality changes, special offers from us and our partners, new
Pier40Baseball.com services and other noteworthy news items about us and our partners.
We hope you will find these updates interesting and informative.
Of course, if you would rather not receive them, just let us know by replying to one of the
emails with "Remove" in the body of the email or let our partners know by following their
instructions. Our site also provides you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving such
communications from us and our partners at the point where we request information from you.
In other words, if you don't want us or our partners to send you emails, just let us know.
Pier40Baseball.com reserves the right to limit registration to those who will accept emails and
to those who will provide the requested information.
Pier40Baseball.com provides you with the ability to receive email subscriptions to various services
we provide. If you elect to receive such email subscriptions, you can opt-out of receiving
future emails by logging in to your account and following the appropriate links.
Your Ability To Access, Update or Correct Your Information
Your account log-in can be easily accessed by visiting our home page. However, even if you
delete or change some personal information in our registration database, it may still be stored
on our, or other third party, databases (including those kept for archival purposes).
Security Measures We Take To Protect Your Personal Information
All order information you provide to us and all information contained in your "Shopper Account"
is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a widely used coding
system that lets your browser automatically encrypt or scramble data before you send it to us.
Transactions will not be permitted if your browser does not accept SSL encryption. Only
authorized personnel from Pier40Baseball.com or its partners can decode this information and
such personnel will only do so in accordance with our or their Privacy Policy. In addition,
to attempt to deter the theft of credit card numbers and other personal information residing
in our system, we and our retail partners have installed secure "firewalls" and/or have implemented
other security measures to help protect our systems against "hacker" break-ins. Additionally,
all credit card numbers are encrypted in our system until either the customer or Pier40Baseball.com
requires the information.
Additional Information About Online Privacy
Please be aware that on our site we have advertisements and links to other websites that may
collect personal information about you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information
practices or policies of such websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all
such sites, as their policies may be materially different from our Privacy Policy. Any
material changes in the way we use personal information will be described in future versions of
this Privacy Policy. Of course, you may always submit concerns regarding our Privacy Policy
or our privacy practices to our Customer Service Center at SUPPORT@Pier40Baseball.com. Please
reference the Privacy Policy in your subject line. We will attempt to respond to all
reasonable concerns or inquiries within five business days of receipt.
