Your privacy is important to Bari Enterprises and TennisChamps (“TennisChamps”). This Privacy Policy defines privacy aspects specific to the TennisChamps.com Web site and affiliated Web sites owned by TennisChamps and its subsidiaries. TennisChamps has created this policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. This statement describes the information practices at TennisChamps Web sites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared.
CONSENT
Your use of the TennisChamps Web site signifies your consent to us collecting personal information about you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
MINORS
TennisChamps encourages parents and guardians to monitor and participate in their children’s online activities. Although this is a Web site directed at junior tennis players and their families, we do not knowingly collect information from our guests under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, do not send any information about yourself to TennisChamps. USERS UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE ARE NOT PERMITTED TO REGISTER AT TennisChamps. If TennisChamps discovers that a child under the age of 13 has provided TennisChamps with personal information, we will delete the child’s personal information from our system. Information for a child under 13 years of age can only be submitted by a parent or legal guardian. TennisChamps will ask you to indicate your age to verify compliance with these policies.
All information we collect is in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.).
PERSONAL INFORMATION
In general, you can visit TennisChamps on the Internet without telling us who you are or giving any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we or our partners may need information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us information, such as your name and address or e-mail id, to correspond with you, to process an order, or to provide you with a subscription. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a spouse or relative, we will assume that you have their permission to do so.
USING AND SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION
The following paragraphs describe in more detail how TennisChamps may use your personal information and with whom we may share it. Depending on the area of TennisChamps you are visiting, one or more of the paragraphs may apply. For example, if you order a product from TennisChamps, your information will be handled as described in such paragraphs as Fulfilling Your Transaction Request and Marketing Use.
FULFILLING YOUR TRANSACTION REQUEST
If you request something from the TennisChamps Web site, for example, a product or service, a callback, or specific marketing materials, we will use the information you provide to fulfill your request. To help us do this, we may share information, with others, for instance, TennisChamps’s business promotional partners, financial institutions, shipping companies, postal or government authorities (for example, Customs authorities) involved in fulfillment. In connection with a transaction, we may also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys or for market research purposes.
MARKETING USE
The information you provide at the TennisChamps Web site may also be used by TennisChamps or its affiliates for marketing and promotional purposes. However, TennisChamps will not sell or lease your information to third-parties, partners, or sponsors.

If you participate in a TennisChamps discussion forum or chat room, you should be aware that the information you provide there will be made broadly available to others, potentially inside or outside TennisChamps, who have access to that discussion forum or chat room. Also, please recognize that individual forums and chat rooms may have additional rules and conditions. Each participant’s opinion on a forum or chat room is his or her own and should not be considered as reflecting the opinion of TennisChamps.

SUPPLEMENTING INFORMATION
From time to time we may supplement information you give us via the TennisChamps Web site with information from other sources, such as information validating your address or other available information about businesses. This is to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect and to help us provide a better service.
COOKIES
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on the TennisChamps Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” TennisChamps, or others on behalf of TennisChamps may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one called “cookies”. A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some TennisChamps pages use cookies, sent by TennisChamps or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some Web sites may not work properly.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY LAW
Please be aware that in certain circumstances, it is possible that personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders.
