Contact information, about yourself or other users (such as parents, athletes, or coaches) including name, email address, mailing address, mobile phone number.
Login information, such as username and password.
Organization information, including your sports organization, school, or business and information about the performance of your sports team.

We may link this information with other information about you.

We may also collect information automatically through cookies, pixels, SDKs and other technologies; this information may include:

Details of your interactions with the Service, such as how you use the Service, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or just after you use the Service, the pages or other content you view or otherwise interact with on the Service, including your viewing history on BallerTV, and the dates and times that you visit, access, or use the Service.

Third Party Web Beacons and Third Party Buttons. We may display third-party content on the Service. Third-party content may use cookies, web beacons, or other mechanisms for obtaining data in connection with your viewing of the third-party content on the Service. Additionally, we may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may function as web beacons even when you do not interact with the button.

The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you (for example, for as long as you keep using the Service);
Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records or communications for a certain period before we can delete them); or
Whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).
