    Our policies for children

    We take additional measures to protect children’s privacy. You must be at least 16 years old or have the parental and/or legal guardian’s authorization to create an account. You can only accept the Privacy Policy and become a user of Competize, if you guarantee that you are over 16 years of age or, otherwise, you have previously received parental and/or legal guardian’s consent. You are solely responsible for obtaining this consent and you are solely responsible for stating that you are over 16 years of age.

    Competize may contact you to prove your actual age and, if applicable, prove that you have the appropriate parental and/or legal guardian’s consent. In this case you will have to provide us with a copy of your identification card or other official document containing your personal data, as well as any other documentation that may be necessary, in case you do not do so, Competize may deactivate and cancel your profile, either temporarily or definitely.

    We do not knowingly collect personal Information from children under the age of 16 without explicit parental consent; however if your child is registered with a national, state or local sport governing body, club, team, competition, event or other institution (collectively, the “Organisation”), such Organisation may provide us with the Information. The Organisation is solely responsible for obtaining and proving parental and/or legal guardian’s consent for sharing and publishing Information of children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have collected the personal Information of a child under the age of 16 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete the Information as soon as possible. Parents who believe that their child or other users have submitted personal Information to us and would like to have it deleted may contact us at info@competize.com.

    Our international operations and Information transfers

    We operate internationally, with our servers based in Dublin, Ireland. Your Information may be stored, processed in and transferred to other countries with privacy and data protection laws that differ from, and are potentially less protective than, the laws of your country. You acknowledge this risk and agree to data transfers when you create a Competize account and click “I agree” to our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, irrespective of which country you live in.

    How we protect Information

    Data security is of great importance to Competize and to protect your Information we take several measures to safeguard the collection, transmission and storage of the data we collect. The Services use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology to allow for the encryption of personal and financial Information. Although we strive to employ reasonable protections for your Information that are appropriate to its sensitivity, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of the Information you share with us and we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your Information or content. No system is 100% secure. Transmitting personal Information is done at your own risk.

    To help ensure that these measures are effective in preventing unauthorized access to your private Information, you should be aware of the security features available to you through your browser. You should use a security-enabled browser to submit your payment Information and other personal Information at the Services. If password access is required for certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

We have no control over any external links despite our best efforts and are not responsible for the content of these links. This Privacy Policy does not extend to your use of such links.
