Our Commitment To Privacy

Your privacy is important to Play.Compete. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. Additionally, Play.Compete adheres to the Safe Harbor Principles as agreed to and set forth by the United States Department of Commerce and the European Union (“EU”), http://export.gov/safeharbor/.

Your privacy is important to us. Because of this, we take a very minimal approach to collecting information from you. We do not save any credit card information on our servers, and we do not sell or share your information with anyone other than the Event Director for the races you register for at Play.Compete.

Types of Information Collected

In order to better provide you with our numerous services, we collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

Personal Information

When you order services through Play.Compete, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form to us to allow us to process your order, provide you with the services you order from us, and to provide ongoing technical support for your account. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, phone number, and address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). By purchasing via our service, you agree to provide and maintain accurate, complete and updated information. Your personal information will be kept only as long as we need it for the purposes for which we collected it, or as permitted by law. Payment information such as credit card number, is processing through a third party gateway and Play.Compete never stores, transmits, copies or otherwise retains any credit card information.

After you have ordered via our services, we may be in communication with you about your account. These communications are essential to our relationship with you and to our ability to provide you with quality services that are responsive to your needs. As a result, we may maintain information about our communications with you for future use. In addition, your contact information is shared with event direcotrs for the sole purposes of them communicating with you about the specific event for which you are registered.

Play.Compete shall only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant for the purpose for which it was collected or authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for those purposes, Play.Compete shall take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is accurate, complete, current and reliable for its intended use.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to provide service to that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to provide service, such as information provided to the race or event director for a particular event you signed up for. For sensitive information, affirmative or explicit (opt in) choice will be given if the information is to be disclosed to a third party or used for a purpose other than previously authorized.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Information to others. We do provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services providers, partners and other third parties. We and our service partners use your Personal Information to operate our sites and to deliver our services. For example, we must release your credit card information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for products and services purchased on this site or release your address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered.

Occasionally, Play.Compete may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personal Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personal Information upon receipt of a court order or subpoena or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use Play.Compete services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that Play.Compete in good faith believe to be unlawful.

Play.Compete may also use the Personal Information collected to contact customers regarding important changes to our site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers through our customer portal or by sending an email request at legal@PlayCompete.net.
