Information Sharing

• Disclosure of Personal Information. My Pickleball Lessons will share the personal information in the following ways:
• To fulfill a service to you. For example, we will share the personal information of clients with the instructor(s) that they have selected. Similarly, My Pickleball Lessons will share the personal information of instructors with clients. By registering with the Site, you agree to allow your data to be shared in this manner.

This means that we may share the information for prize fulfillment purposes or with mail carriers. We also may share your information with the co-sponsor of that promotion.
• To affiliates, strategic partners, agents, third party marketers, or other unaffiliated parties who are offering products or services that we believe may be of interest to you or who require your name, contact information or any behavioral or geolocation data that we have collected from you, for research, administrative, and/or internal business purposes. These parties may use this information to contact you with an offer or advertisement related to a product or service, or they may use such information for their own research, administration, or business purposes.

We seek to ensure that these unaffiliated third parties will not use the personal information for any other purpose than to provide the administrative services for which they are responsible. Because such unaffiliated third-party service providers that help us administer the Site will have access to users’ personal information, if you do not wish for our unaffiliated third-party service providers to have access to your information, please do not register or submit any personal information to us.

• To track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors, clients, and instructors and provide such information to third parties.
• To protect against potential fraud, we may verify with third parties the information collected from the Site. In the course of such verification, we may receive personal information about you from such services. For example, we may be required to use card authorization and fraud screening services to verify that your credit card information and address matches the information that you supplied to secure a registration via the Site.
• Finally, in the unlikely event that all or substantially all of our assets relating to this Site is sold or transferred to another party, your personal identifiable information may be transferred to this acquiring entity.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy or at the time we request the information, we do not otherwise use, share, or otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information to any third parties.
