Managing Your Information and Privacy Choices
You have certain options and rights related to the information we collect and how that information is used. While we must continue to collect and store certain information that is required to allow you to take advantage of certain features and services offered on ISM Services or to comply with legal, financial or other operational or regulatory requirements, your options for managing your information and privacy choices include:
- You can opt-out of receiving emails or text messages from particular ISM Services by following the instructions contained in any such message or by contacting us directly at privacy@ism-usa.com. Please note that even if you unsubscribe to commercial messages, we may still need to send you communications relating to your use of the ISM Services.
- You can always contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy to update, amend, or delete your information. If you ask us to delete your information, we will discontinue communications within a reasonable period of time subject to any agreement between you and us. Please note that we may need to retain some information about you in order to satisfy our contractual, legal and security obligations. Some of your information may also remain in back-up storage for a period of time even if you ask us to delete it. In some cases, you may be entitled under local laws to access, correct, move, or object to the processing of information that we hold relating to you.

International Transfers
We are headquartered in the United States and have affiliate offices and partners in other countries. Please be aware that the information you provide to us or that we obtain as a result of your use of the ISM Services may be collected in your country and subsequently transferred to the United States or another country in accordance with applicable law. The privacy and data protection laws in the country to which your information is transferred may not be equivalent to such laws in your country of residence. Your personal information may be subject to the laws of the country to which it is transferred and may be accessible without notice to you by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that country. By using and participating in any ISM Services or providing us with your information, you acknowledge the collection, international transfer, storage, and processing of your information.
Privacy Protection of Children
As most ISM Services are intended for a general audience, ISM does not directly advertise to or collect information of children, nor does ISM use third party operators to collect this information. As this information is not collected, it is not sold to third party companies. If you believe your child’s information has been gathered in error by ISM, you have the right to review the personal information, direct us to delete it, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child’s information. You also have the right to agree to the collection and use of the information, but not allow disclosure to third parties unless that’s part of the service. To contact ISM regarding your child’s information, please email privacy@ism-usa.com.
Third Party Websites and Services
Please note that some ISM Services may contain links to other websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third party property you visit. When you select a link to a third party property from one of the ISM Services (example: a tournament website), you will be leaving the ISM Service. Any information that you disclose on the third party website will be governed by that website’s privacy policy.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices and service offerings. If we modify our Privacy Policy, we will update the “Last Modified Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy and such changes will be effective upon posting. If we make any material changes to the way we use personal information we collect, we will notify you in advance by email through the email address you most recently provided to us or by prominently posting a prominent notice of the changes on the CBS Services. We will not use information we have already collected in a different way than we have described here, without your consent.
