Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 24, 2016

www.NASL.com (“Site”) is a website operated by the North American Soccer League, LLC (“NASL,” “we”, “our” and “us”).  This Privacy Policy explains how we use data we collect about you when you use the Site.

Please carefully read the Privacy Policy.  By accessing and using the Site, you agree to the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy. Further, by accessing and using the Site, you consent to the collection and use of your Personal Information (defined below) as outlined by the Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree with the Privacy Policy, do not use the Site.

We may update the Privacy Policy at any time.  Any updates will be posted here and will be indicated by an updated date at the top of this page.  We may also provide additional notice of changes to the Privacy Policy to you via the Site or other means of communication.  By continuing to access and use the Site after the posting of an updated Privacy Policy, you agree that the updated Privacy Policy shall govern your use of the Site on and after the posting date.

Links to Other Websites

The Site may link to third-party websites that are not controlled by NASL (“Third-Party Sites”).  Third-Party Sites include: the NASL Shop (privacy policy), the links in the Tickets and Watch Live sections, and social media websites.  In accordance with its applicable policy or policies, a Third-Party Site may collect data and information from you and may also share some of that data and information with us.  

Please be aware that NASL does not control Third-Party Sites, even if a Third-Party Site has a look and feel similar to the Site.  Any website that NASL controls will link to this Privacy Policy, and if NASL does not control the website, the website will link to the privacy policy of its operator instead.  Because NASL does not control a Third-Party Site, NASL assumes no responsibility or liability for data or information collected by the Third-Party Site whatsoever.  Any data or information NASL receives from a Third-Party Site will be used in accordance with the Privacy Policy, but you acknowledge and agree that the collection of your data and information by a Third-Party Site and its use by the operator of the Third-Party Site are governed by the privacy policy of the Third-Party Site.   You further acknowledge and agree that NASL is not responsible or liable for the misuse of your data and information by the Third-Party Site whatsoever. 

The Privacy Policy only applies to the Site.  We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policy of the Third-Party Site before using it to confirm that the privacy policy is acceptable to you.

We may ask you to provide information about yourself to us when you use the Site.

Site Usage Information may be collected via various technologies such as cookies and server logs.  A cookie is a small file consisting of a character string that a website sends to your browser when you visit the website, and that allows the website to uniquely identify your browser and store certain information about your browser activity.  A server log is a record of page requests made by a server when you access a website hosted by the server.  Page requests generally include the following types of information: IP address, browser type, browser language, date and time of request, and what webpage(s) the user requested to view.

We may obtain information about you from third parties (“Third-Party Generated Information”) and combine it with information we have collected through the Site.  For example, if you access our website while logged into a third-party social media site, we may obtain Third Party Generated Information about you from that social media site.  We will obtain and use Third Party Generated Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the privacy policy of the applicable third party.

We currently have official social media accounts on Facebook (privacy policy), Twitter (privacy policy), Youtube (privacy policy), and Instagram (privacy policy).  We strongly recommend that you read the privacy policies of these Third-Party Sites before visiting them to confirm that the policy or policies are acceptable to you.

Security of Your User Information

We understand that the security of your User Information is important to you. When handling Personal Information, security is paramount and we have established policies to safeguard your User Information against unauthorized access, disclosure, destruction, retention, or other misuse.  We periodically review our security procedures to consider appropriate updates, including new technologies.

Please be aware that any information you voluntarily disclose or that you post to publicly-accessible parts of the Site may be viewed or used by others.  You disclose or post your information at your own risk, and acknowledge that you may receive unsolicited communications from others in response to your disclosures or posts.
