1. The Information the Services Collect
(a) Information you Provide to Us
When you use our Services, we or our service providers may ask you to provide certain types of information such as: (1) personally identifiable information, which is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify you personally, such as your first and last name, email address, home or mailing address, birth date, credit card or other banking information, social security number, social insurance number and phone numbers, voice or likeness (“Personal Information”); and (2) demographic information, such as information about your gender and age (“Demographic Information”). We may collect Personal Information and Demographic Information through various forms and in various places on the Services, including through “contact us” forms, when you register for an account with the Services, deposit funds into an account, on document upload pages, when you wager or otherwise purchase products or services from us. Personal Information once “De-identified” (i.e., the permanent removal or modification of the personally identifiable elements, or the permanent extraction of non-personally identifiable elements including through anonymization, pseudonymization and/or hashing) is not considered Personal Information provided the de-identification process cannot be reversed and/or personally identifiable elements derived from such de-identified information, and such de-identified information may be used and shared by us or other third parties without obligation to you, except as prohibited by applicable law.
(b) Information We Collect and Store as You Access and Use the Services
In addition to any Personal Information or other information that you choose to submit to us via our Services, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically (or passively) collect and store certain information whenever you visit or interact with the Services (“Usage Information”). This Usage Information may be stored or accessed using a variety of technologies that may be downloaded to your personal computer, browser, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or other device (a “Device”) whenever you visit or interact with our Services. Usage Information may be non-identifying or may be associated with you. Whenever we associate Usage Information with your Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information. This Usage Information may include:
We may use various methods and technologies to collect and store Usage Information (“Tracking Technologies”). Tracking Technologies may set, change, alter or modify settings or configurations on your Device. A few of the Tracking Technologies include, without limitation, the following (and subsequent technology and methods later developed):
We may use Tracking Technologies for a variety of purposes, including:
There may be other Tracking Technologies now and later devised and used by us in connection with the Services. Further, third parties may use Tracking Technologies in connection with our Services, which may include the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. We may not control those Tracking Technologies and we are not responsible for them. However, you consent to potentially encountering third-party Tracking Technologies in connection with use of our Services and accept that our statements under this Privacy Policy do not apply to the Tracking Technologies or practices of such third parties.
(c) Information Third Parties Provide About You
We may receive information about you from your friends and others that use the Services, such as when they submit your information to us about you, if for example, they invite you to take part in a special promotion we are offering. Additionally, we may from time to time supplement the information we collect directly from you on our Services with outside records from third parties for various purposes, including to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content and ads to you and to offer you opportunities that may be of interest to you. To the extent we combine information we receive from those sources with your Personal Information we collect on the Services, it will be treated as Personal Information and we will apply this Privacy Policy to such combined information, unless we have disclosed otherwise. In no other circumstances do our statements under this Privacy Policy apply to information we receive about you from third parties.
(d) Interactions with Third-Party Services
The Services may include functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions between the Services and your account on a third-party website, application or other service. The use of this functionality may involve the third-party operator providing certain information, including Personal Information, to us. For example, we may provide third-party sites’ interfaces or links on the Services to facilitate your sending a communication from the Services. For example, we may use third parties to facilitate emails, Tweets or Facebook postings. These third parties may retain any information used or provided in any such communications or other activities and these third parties’ practices are not subject to our Privacy Policy. Sharpway Sports Consulting does not control or have access to your communications through these third parties. Further, when you use third-party sites or services, you are using their services and not our services and they, not we, are responsible for their practices. You should review the applicable third-party privacy policies before using such third-party tools on our Services.
(e) Information You Provide About a Third Party
You may send someone else a communication from the Services, such as sending an invitation to a friend. If so, the information you provide (names, email addresses, mobile number, etc.) is used to facilitate the communication and is not used by us for any other marketing purpose unless we obtain a consent from that person or we explicitly say otherwise. Please be aware that when you use any send-to-a-friend functionality on our Services, your email address, mobile number, name or user name and message may be included in the communication sent to your addressee(s).
(f) California / Delaware Do Not Track Disclosures
Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals). Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms; provided, however if required by applicable law or third-party platform, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to honor a user’s settings.
2. How We Use the Information Collected
We may use your Personal Information, Demographic Information or Usage Information for various purposes, including the following business purposes:
Where you have provided us with Personal Information or Demographic Information as part of an online application for employment or internship, we may use that information in order to allow us to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with your application.

In addition, third parties may store, collect, disclose or otherwise have access to your information when you interact with their Tracking Technologies, content, tools apps or ads on our Services or link to them from our Services. This may include using third party tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or other third-party posting or content sharing tools and by so interacting you consent to such third-party practices. It may also include ordering or purchasing products from third parties through us where we indicate that the third party rather than us is the seller. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of such third parties and, therefore, you should review such third-party privacy policies and practices of such third parties prior to requesting information from or otherwise interacting with them.

We are not responsible for those third-party technologies or activities arising out of them. However, some may offer you certain choices regarding their practices, and information we have been informed of regarding such choices is available upon request pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 15 herein.

Further, we may use IP address or other Device Identifiers, to identify users, and may do so in cooperation with third parties such as copyright owners, internet service providers, wireless service providers and/or law enforcement agencies, including disclosing such information to third parties, all in our discretion, subject to applicable law.

6. Your Canadian Privacy Rights
Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”)
This Section provides additional information regarding the use of Personal Information about Canadian residents and the process to be followed in order to send unsolicited electronic communications to them, and Sharpway Sports Consulting’ responsibilities under CASL.
For the purposes of this Section:
“Commercial activity” means any transaction of commercial character, regardless of whether there is an expectation of profit or not.
“Commercial electronic message” (“CEM”) are commercial electronic messages that encourage participation in commercial activity. Even if a commercial message is not sent with an expectation of garnering profit, it still qualifies as a CEM.
“Electronic address” means an address used in connection with the transmission of an electronic message to an electronic mail account, and instant messaging account, a telephone account or similar account.
“Electronic message” means message sent by any means of telecommunication, including text, sound, voice or image.
“Express consent” means permission obtained when a recipient “opts in” to receive CEMs. Consent can be oral or written and could be an unedited audio recording, paper or electronic checkbox on a website. Express consent never expires unless the recipient chooses to unsubscribe. Sharpway Sports Consulting will maintain records of all contacts for whom express consent exists.
“Unsubscribe” means a withdrawal of consent to receive CEMs.
You may unsubscribe from our CEMs via the link found at the bottom of every electronic message.
All partners, employees, contractors, vendors and any other person sending CEMs on behalf of Sharpway Sports Consulting will ensure that all such CEMs contain:
Unsubscribe Requests: All unsubscribe requests will be managed within ten days of receipt. Partners, employees, contractors, vendors and any other person sending CEMs on behalf of Sharpway Sports Consulting will not send an unsubscribed party any further communications by electronic means.
When Sharpway Sports Consulting plans to introduce significant changes to its privacy practices, it will notify Canadian-resident users prior to the changes coming into effect. Significant changes include using personal information for a new purpose not anticipated originally or a new disclosure of personal information to a third party for a purpose other than processing that is integral to the delivery of a service.
7. Ads and Information About You
Data about your activities online is being collected on our Services for use in providing advertising tailored to your individual interests. We may use third parties such as network advertisers and ad exchanges to serve advertisements across the Internet and may use third party analytics service providers to evaluate and provide us and/or third parties with information about the use of these ads on third party websites and viewing of ads and of our content. Third parties may offer you a choice as to whether or not to have your information collected for that purpose. This section of the Privacy Policy provides details and explains how to exercise that choice.
You may see certain ads on our Services as well as on other third-party websites across the Internet because we participate in advertising networks administered by third parties. These networks track your online activities over time and across third party websites by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the Tracking Technologies described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, and they use this information to show you advertisements (including our ads) that are tailored to your individual interests. The information they collect includes information about your visits to our Services, such as the pages you have viewed. These third-party Tracking Technologies may be set to, among other things: (a) help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in; (b) prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times; and (c) understand the usefulness to you of the advertisements that have been delivered to you. You acknowledge and agree that associated technology may access and use your Device and may set or change settings on your Device in connection with the associated operations. Note that any images (or any other parts of content) served by third parties in association with third-party ads or other content may act as web beacons, which enable third parties to carry out the previously described activities.
This collection and ad targeting take place both on our Services and on third-party websites that participate in the ad network, such as websites that feature advertisements delivered by the ad network. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as a Google Ads cookie) together to report how your ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our Services. To learn more about how to opt out of Google’s use of cookies, visit the Google’s Ads Settings, https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=en&p=cpn_cookies. To learn more about how to opt out of use of the Google Analytics cookies, visit the opt-out page, https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Third-party tracking technologies are not controlled by us, even if they use our technology to help store or collect data. Statements regarding our practices do not apply to the methods for collecting information used by these third-party advertisers and others or the use of the information that such third parties collect. We do however work with third parties to make efforts to provide you with information on their practices and any available opportunity to exercise choice. The relevant third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, permissions, notices and choices should be reviewed regarding their collection, storage and sharing practices. We make no representations regarding the policies or practices of third-party advertisers or advertising networks or exchanges or related third parties. Further, while we may use a variety of companies to serve advertisements on the website, you may wish to visit Network Advertising, https://thenai.org/ which provides information regarding this practice by Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including the “opt-out” procedures of NAI members. Opting out of one or more NAI members only means that those NAI members no longer will be allowed under their own rules to deliver targeted content and/or ads to you, which will affect this and other sites, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or change web browsers, your NAI opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective. Additional information is available on the NAI’s website accessible by the above link. You may also be able to opt-out of receiving third-party behavioral ads by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) website at https://digitaladvertisingalliance.org/. Similar limitations may apply to the DAA opt-out. We are not responsible for effectiveness of or compliance with any third-parties’ opt-out options.
8. Do Third-Party Content, Links to Third-Party Sites and/or Third-Party Apps Appear on the Services?
The Services may contain content, links or apps that are supplied by a third party, and those third parties may collect Usage Information and your Device Identifier when pages from the Services are served to you for their own commercial purposes. In addition, when you are using the Services you may be directed to other sites and apps that are operated and controlled by third parties that we do not control. We are not responsible for the data collection and privacy practices employed by any of these third parties or their sites or apps and they may be tracking you across multiple online services and may be sharing the results of that tracking with us and/or others. These third parties may have their own terms of service, privacy policies or other policies and ask you to agree to the same. For example, if you “click” on a link, the “click” may take you off the Services onto a different location. These other online services may associate their Tracking Technologies with you, independently collect information about you, including Personal Information, and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. We are not responsible for these third-party privacy policies or the practices of third parties. Be sure to review any available policies before submitting any personally identifiable information to a third-party application or otherwise interacting with it and exercise caution in connection with these applications. We also encourage you to note when you leave our Services and to review the third-party privacy policies of all third-party locations and exercise caution in connection with them.
9. How Do I Change My Information and Communications Preferences?
You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the information you submit to us, such as your contact information provided as part of registration. You may provide updates and changes by contacting us at info@sharpwaysports.com. We will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable (but we may retain prior information as business records). Please note that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases and that residual data may remain on backup media or for other reasons.
You may cancel or modify our email marketing communications you receive from us by following the instructions contained within our promotional emails, or in some cases by logging into your Services account and changing your communication preferences. This will not affect subsequent subscriptions and if your opt-out is limited to certain types of emails the opt-out will be so limited. Subsequent or different subscriptions will be unaffected. Please note that we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to your account or use of our Services, such as administrative and Services announcements and these transactional account messages may be unaffected if you choose to opt-out from receiving our marketing communications. If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy or our data collection or processing practices, or if you want to report any suspected security violations to us, please contact us as follows:(Attn: Privacy) Sharpway Sports Consulting, 778 Sheppard Ave W, Unit 104 North York, ON M3H 6B7, or at info@sharpwaysports.com
10. What About Transfer of Information?
Our Services are intended for users and may only be used by users who are located in specific states in the United States and specific provinces of Canada identified in our Promotions’ Official Rules or on the Services. If you are located outside of the United States and Canada, please be aware that information we collect, including Personal Information, will be transferred to, and processed, stored and used in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your Personal Information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, law enforcement and national security authorities in those countries according to laws of those countries. By using the Services or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information, including Personal Information, outside of the United States and Canada as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Sharpway Sports Consulting will take all reasonable commercial steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized uses and disclosures while it is in the hands of any entity located in a country other than the United States or Canada. Sharpway Sports Consulting will seek to ensure that policies and processes in place in any such country, including training for staff and effective security measures, will ensure that your Personal Information will be properly safeguarded at all times.
11. What About Security?
We endeavor to incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us, and you use our Services and provide us with your information at your own risk.
The safety and security of your Personal Information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out Personal Information in public areas of the Websites like message boards, which any visitor of the Websites can view.
12. Data Retention
Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Under some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.
13. What Should Parents Know About Children?
Pursuant to the Terms of Use, the Services are for an audience aged 21 and up, and we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children younger than the age of thirteen (13). We will delete any personal information collected that we later determine to be from a user younger than the age of thirteen (13). If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of thirteen (13) and believe he or she has disclosed personal information to us, please contact us via email at info@sharpwaysports.com.
14. What About Changes to the Privacy Policy?
When Sharpway Sports Consulting plans to introduce significant changes to its Privacy Policy, including changes that would involve (i) your Personal Information being used for new purposes not anticipated when you originally provided such Personal Information to Sharpway Sports Consulting, or (ii) a new disclosure of Personal Information to a third party for a purpose other than processing that is integral to the delivery of a service, Sharpway Sports Consulting will notify you prior to such changes coming into effect. We reserve the right to make non-significant changes to this Privacy Policy at any time without notice to you. Any such non-significant changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy and your use of our Services will indicate your consent to the Privacy Policy posted at the time of use. To the extent any provision of this Privacy Policy is found by a competent tribunal to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed to the extent necessary for the remainder to be valid and enforceable.
15. Withdrawing Your Consent

To seek to withdraw your consent, contact us at: (Attn: Privacy) Sharpway Sports Consulting, 778 Sheppard Ave W, Unit 104 North York, ON M3H 6B7, or at info@sharpwaysports.com.
