SportsMentor.tvmay track your domain name, which typically identifies your Internet
Service Provider, or IP address, a number recorded by our servers that is used to
identify your computer, to help gather and track non-personally identifiable information.

track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information about your use of
the Service for aggregate, statistical use.

being captured and broadcast via the Service. We use this information to modify

improve the performance of the Service and to support advertising and other revenue
generating initiatives. However this information will not be provided to third parties
in a manner that is personally identifiable.
SportsMentor.tvalso utilizes "cookie" technology. A cookie is a small data file
created by a web server that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's
hard drive or your handheld device for the website to identify you and keep track
of your preferences. In other words, cookies are used, among other things, to automatically
remind us who you are when you return to the Service and to generally help improve
the functionality of the Service. A cookie also allows us to store and access your
account preferences and to customize your web space. We may also use cookies for
marketing purposes to make sure that the content and advertising sent to you is
specific to your interests and demographics. If you do not wish to have cookies
placed on your computer, you can disable cookies through your Internet browser.
However, disabling cookies may prevent you from fully experiencing the Service and
accessing some or all Service features.

for information may be in the form of general requests for information (e.g., submit
your name and e-mail address to receive product information from us), surveys, or
contests ("Requests for Information"). Responding to these Requests for Information
is voluntary (although it may be required in order to receive something that you
are interested in receiving), and therefore you have a choice whether or not to
disclose such requested information. Requested information may include a combination
of personally identifiable information (such as a name or e-mail address), and demographic
information (such as sex or age). Unless otherwise indicated, personally identifiable
information you choose to make available will be used in accordance with this Privacy

about how they use the information they collect.
