This Privacy Policy describes how Sponsorless LLC (“Sponsorless,” “we,” “us,” “our”), a limited liability company situated and incorporated in the United States at 32 East Utah Avenue., Payson, UT, 84651, collects, uses, and shares information about you when you access or use https://www.sponsorless.com/, interact with our online membership program, or utilize any associated mobile applications (collectively referred to as “platforms”).

By using our platforms, registering for our memberships, purchasing products, or by willingly submitting personal information to Sponsorless through these platforms, you signify your acceptance of the terms within this Privacy Policy. While you are free to choose whether to provide any personal information, opting out may restrict your ability to engage fully with certain features or areas of the platforms. Should you disagree with any provisions in this Privacy Policy, we kindly request that you abstain from using our platforms or submitting any personal information to Sponsorless.

Sponsorless operates out of the United States, and our servers are hosted within the country. By engaging with our platforms, you give your explicit consent for the collection, transfer, storage, processing, disclosure, and all other uses of your data in the United States as detailed in this Privacy Policy, in line with the allowances of the relevant laws.

What information we collect

All Users

Upon accessing our platforms, we gather personal information concerning you. “Personal Information” is defined as information that pinpoints a specific individual, which includes:

Real name, pseudonym, unique individual identifier, online handle, Internet Protocol (IP) address, or account identifier;
Details about education, employment, employment background, or credit card details;
Commercial data, such as details about products or services you've purchased, considered, or your purchasing behavior and patterns;
Online or other electronic activity information concerning your engagement with a particular website; and
Insights derived from the information highlighted in this section to form a profile, indicating a user’s preferences, habits, psychological tendencies, behavior, intelligence, skills, and talents.

The term "Personal Information" encompasses “personal data” as characterized by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and “personal information” as recognized under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We collect Personal Information when you complete forms, communicate with us via our platforms, or when you establish an online profile. We might also collect Personal Information you make public, for instance, when writing a product review or commenting on another user’s content.

Additionally, we gather specific details about your use of our platforms, including your computer’s IP address, the browser you utilize, and the operating system it runs on. Unless this Privacy Policy states otherwise or unless legally prohibited, we might combine this data with your Personal Information.

Furthermore, we might gather specific details from your employer, like name, email address, and employment-related data (employee ID, job title, status, workplace location).

Online Profile

Upon creating an online profile, you might opt to provide additional information such as your employer's name, the training programs you've completed, the purchases you’ve made, product critiques, pictures, points accumulated, and more. All information provided in your profile is governed by this Privacy Policy. Any data you opt to disclose in a public section of your profile will be visible on our platforms, accessible to other members and brands. If you decide to disclose Personal Information publicly, you give your consent to its public exposure. If you prefer not to disclose your Personal Information this way, kindly refrain from including it in content you post publicly.

Essential Cookies: Necessary for our platforms' proper functioning and cannot be turned off. They guarantee the primary features and security of the platforms. These cookies don't store Personal Information.
Non-Essential Cookies: These might not be vital for our platforms and are utilized to gather user Personal Information through analytics, ads, and other embedded content, aiding in enhancing the platform's user experience.

Our platforms and services don’t acknowledge browser “Do Not Track” signals.

The cookies and tracking technologies we deploy do not capture Personal Information. The data gathered can be used for various purposes like monitoring your visits, addressing problems, enhancing our platforms, web traffic analysis, and safeguarding our platforms' security and integrity. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you might configure your browser to either refuse all cookies or notify you when a cookie is set, but your user experience might be limited.

Pixel tags (also known as “clear gifs”, “Web beacons”, or “1-by-1 gifs”) might also be used on our platforms. These can be associated with specific pages or email communications to gauge the efficacy of our outreach and marketing endeavors, generate usage and response statistics, and help resolve issues.

Security

Ensuring the safety and security of the Personal Information that you entrust to us is paramount. We incorporate a multifaceted approach to safeguard your data, encompassing physical, technological, and administrative measures. As an illustration, we utilize cutting-edge encryption protocols when transmitting Personal Information to fortify its confidentiality.

However, it's crucial to understand that no security measure can guarantee 100% protection. It's also worth noting that traditional email doesn't offer a completely secure channel for communication. Hence, we advise caution when transferring sensitive data via email. We hold on to the Personal Information we gather just as long as is practically essential for the intents it was accrued for or to fulfill any legal obligations.

It's possible that the Personal Information we gather could be stored or processed on servers situated outside of your home country, including but not limited to the United States. These international jurisdictions may have data protection norms that differ from those in your country. This means that your information could be accessed by governmental bodies, courts, or law enforcement agencies in those areas, based on the legal provisions of such territories. However, within the framework of these foreign laws, we remain committed to implementing stringent measures to maintain the security of your Personal Information. We pledge to leverage all reasonable endeavors to ensure that suitable security protocols are consistently upheld.

Links to Other Websites

Our sites may contain links to websites owned by third parties. Information you share with a third-party site is not subject to this Privacy Policy. Please review the privacy policy of any sites you access through our sites.

Children’s Privacy

Our sites and platform are not intended for use by children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. Children under the age of 16 are prohibited from creating an online profile.

International Data Transfers

As a U.S.-based company, Sponsorless primarily processes and stores personal data within the United States. However, we may sometimes transfer personal information to other countries, either because we use service providers who process data on our behalf in other locations, or due to the international nature of our operations.

When transferring personal data outside of the United States, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information. Such transfers will be carried out in compliance with relevant data protection laws. For data transfers to countries that do not offer an equivalent level of protection as the U.S., we will implement appropriate measures, such as standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities, to ensure that your personal data remains secure and protected.

If you are accessing our services from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and privacy regulations of the U.S. may differ from those in your country. By using our services, you understand and consent to the transfer of your information to our facilities in the U.S. and those third parties with whom we share it, as described in this Privacy Policy.

In the course of our operations, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those of your country of residence.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal data remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This may include implementing the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal data between our group companies, which require all such entities to protect the personal data they process from the EEA in accordance with European Union data protection law.

It is important to note that when your personal data is transferred from the European Economic Area (EEA) to a third country or to an international organization, it may be subject to that country or organization's data processing standards.

Privacy Policy Changes

Any updates or amendments to our Privacy Policy will be prominently posted on our sites, accompanied by the date of the latest revision. Unless otherwise indicated, modifications to this policy will be effective immediately upon posting. We advise you to revisit our Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our practices. By continuing to access or utilize our sites following any updates, you consent to the terms of the revised Privacy Policy.
