Privacy Policy

Last update June 1, 2021

Our Privacy Policy applies to and governs all websites, apps, games, online services, and software made available by and operated by Shooter’s Touch, LLC (dba Swish-Hoop^®️). (collectively, the “Sites” and, individually, “Site”), on mobile devices, tablets, personal computers and other devices. By accessing any of the Sites, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes what information the Sites collect from users, including children, when they visit the Sites; how such information is used and stored; when such information may be disclosed to third parties; how users, parents, and guardians can control the use and disclosure of collected information; and how information is protected. Our users’ privacy is important to us, and we recognize the need to provide additional privacy protection for children on the Sites permitting such users. Our privacy practices are guided by the United States' Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, as well as data privacy laws in the United States and other applicable countries. In all cases, younger users should always check with their parents or guardians before entering information on any website or mobile application and we encourage families to discuss their household guidelines regarding the online sharing of personal information. In order for a child to fully participate on any of the Sites, no personally identifiable information (except information required to determine age and communicate with a parent or guardian) is collected from a child until such time as verifiable parental consent is received from the child’s parent or guardian. For more information about how the Sites deal with users under the age of 13, click here. In order to register on a Site as a user, the child’s parent or guardian must activate their account by granting permission.

Information Collection and Use

Gathering of Non-Personally Identifying Information

Like most website and App operators, Swish-Hoop^®️ collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as type of computer operating system, the browser type, language preference, referring site, interactions with e-mail messages sent by a Site or by Swish-Hoop^®️ and the date and time of each visitor request. Swish-Hoop’s^®️ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Swish-Hoop’s^®️ visitors use its Sites. From time to time, Swish-Hoop^®️ may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Sites. Swish-Hoop^®️ also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, UDIDs of mobile devices, etc. Swish-Hoop^®️ does not use such information to identify its visitors, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally Identifying Information

Certain visitors to and users of Swish-Hoop’s^®️ Sites choose to interact with Swish-Hoop^®️ in ways that require Swish-Hoop^®️ to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that Swish-Hoop^®️ gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for Sites to provide a username and email address. In each case, Swish-Hoop^®️ collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Swish-Hoop^®️. Swish-Hoop^®️ does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below. And visitors and users can always refuse to supply personally identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain activities or using the Swish-Hoop^®️ Sites.
Swish Hoop^®️ uses personal information to make automated decisions in the following way: - Birthdate is used to automatically determine whether parent/guardian permission is required - Activity and performance levels are used to automatically include users in leaderboards, reward trophies, notifications of goal achievement or initiate messages with users by Swish Hoop^®️

Aggregated Statistics

Swish-Hoop^®️ may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its Sites. For instance, Swish-Hoop^®️ may monitor the most popular aspects or products on its Sites. Swish-Hoop^®️ may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Swish-Hoop^®️ does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally Identifying Information

wish-Hoop discloses potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Swish-Hoop’s^®️ behalf or to provide services available at Swish-Hoop’s^®️ Sites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of the United States of America; by using Swish-Hoop’s^®️ Sites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. In addition, in some cases we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Swish-Hoop^®️ or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Swish-Hoop^®️ goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Swish-Hoop^®️ may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as set forth in this policy. Otherwise, Swish-Hoop^®️ will not rent or sell potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Swish-Hoop^®️ discloses potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Swish-Hoop^®️ believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Swish-Hoop^®️, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Swish-Hoop^®️ website and have supplied your email address, Swish-Hoop^®️ may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Swish-Hoop^®️ and its products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Swish-Hoop^®️ endeavors to take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information. You should also be aware that if you submit information to “chat rooms,” “forums,” “reviews” or “message boards,” such information becomes public information, meaning that you lose any privacy rights you might have with regards to that information. Such disclosures may also increase your chances of receiving unwanted communications.
