Information Collected:
Personal Information
"Personal information" is information that allows us to identify you. The types of Personal Information that we may collect from you includes information needed to set up an account and make purchases on the site and the BKFC App; such as your username, password, name, billing address, shipping address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth, credit card and other payment information.
BKFC may collect personal information from you on or through the BKFC Web Site, BKFC App or Services in a variety of ways, including when you register on the BKFC Web Site, purchase merchandise, use the BKFC App, surveys or games, or sign-up for BKFC messages, or for the BKFC newsletter. BKFC also may, from time to time, receive Personal Information about you from third-party sources to improve the BKFC Web Site, BKFC App, and our Services, and for the various purposes outlined herein. Further, BKFC will also use the data we collect to communicate with you, including, but not limited to emails and short message services.
Device Identifiable Information
BKFC may collect information that does not identify you personally but is linked to your computer or device ("Device Identifiable Information”). BKFC collects Device Identifiable Information from you in the normal course of operating our BKFC Web Site. When you visit our BKFC website, BKFC automatically collects information about your computer that your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times, pages visited, and referring website addresses. BKFC may use Device Identifiable Information to analyze trends, help administer the BKFC Web Site and/or BKFC App, and track the movement of visitors to learn about how much time visitors spend on each page of the BKFC Web Site, how visitors navigate throughout the BKFC Web Site and/or BKFC App or the Service and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may also collect Device Identifiable Information through "cookies” or "web beacons” as explained below and as set forth herein. BKFC may also collect information about your mobile devices such as the type and model, operating system (e.g. iOS or Android), carrier name, mobile browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari, etc.), applications using our site, and identifiers assigned to your device, such as its iOS Identifier for Advertising (IDFA), Android Advertising ID (AAID), or unique device identifier (a number uniquely given to your device by your device manufacturer), sometimes referred to as a mobile carrier ID. BKFC may also collect your location information, such as your zip code or the approximate geographic area provided by your Internet service provider (ISP) or location positioning information provided by the location services and GPS features of your mobile device when location services have been enabled.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
To help BKFC serve you better, BKFC may collect Device Identifiable Information from you through technologies such as "cookies" and "pixel tags” (which are also called clear GIFs, web beacons, or pixels) or by tracking internet protocol (IP) addresses or tracking technologies for the purposes of signing the authorization, security, analytics, advertising and internet based advertising as well as tailoring our services to collect information about your interests so we can deliver advertising that is most relevant to your interest. Cookies are small data files that are stored by your web browser when you interact with a website. When you visit a webpage, the cookie sends back Device Identifiable Information. Pixel tags are small graphic images (usually invisible) that can be embedded in content and ads on a webpage that track usage of our Web Site and effectiveness of communication. These pixel tags can then be used to recognize our cookies and to monitor certain user interactions with a website. Cookies operate in the background, and you can turn them off if you wish by adjusting your Web browser settings, but doing so may impair your ability to use some of the features on the Web Site. BKFC may use cookies to make the Web Site work better by, for example, remembering your preferences, keeping track of your login name, password and, if you want to buy things while on the BKFC Web Site, and/or the BKFC App, and for your "shopping cart." For more information, you may review the FTC’s guide to opting out of online tracking for computers and mobile devices. You can also see the "Choice” section below for ways to opt out. In some cases, we have arrangements with third-party vendors to collect and store the foregoing information on BKFC’s behalf, to provide services in connection with hosting or the operation of the BKFC Web Site, the BKFC App, or to facilitate reporting of analytics (such as with Google Analytics). Although the Device Identifiable Information that we share, including the Device Identifiable Information that is not linked to your mobile device, does not identify you personally, there is a risk that third parties who receive such information from us may be able to re-identify you through other information they gather. Except for IP Addresses, BKFC may match Device Identifiable Information with Personal Information that we may have from or about you, which would allow us to identify you, we may use this information to provide you with offers that are available where you physically are located.
Social Media
When using the Services or when using certain third-party social networking services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, and/or any other social network and/or media outlet) (each a "Social Network"), you may have the option to connect your Service information and activity with your Social Network information and activity. If you authorize such a connection, you permit us to share or publish information about your Service activity with that Social Network and its users and to access certain of your Social Network information, as disclosed to you at the time you consent to the connection. Information we may share with a Social Network may include, but is not limited to: technical information about your Service activity, your Service comments or the videos you watch on the BKFC Website and/or the BKFC App and/or Service. Information we may access about you, with your consent, from a Social Network may include, but is not limited to, your basic Social Network information, your location data, your list of contacts, friends or followers and certain information about your activities on the Social Network. If you permit a connection between a Social Network and a Service, BKFC (and that Social Network) may be able to identify you and to associate information received pursuant to the connection with information the BKFC already has about you. For more information, please review the privacy disclosures and terms of your Social Network account, which governs how that account information is collected and shared with us.

Community postings.
The BKFC Web Site may develop forums, blogs, and other community features and activities available to you and other users. If you post Personal Information online, it will be publicly available and you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties. We cannot ensure the security of any information you choose to make public. Also, we cannot ensure that parties who have access to such publicly available information will respect your privacy. Please exercise caution when deciding to disclose Personal Information in these areas. We reserve the right (but assume no obligation) to review and/or monitor any such community areas on the BKFC Web Site and/or the BKFC App.
Third-party advertising.
BKFC may allow other companies that are presenting advertisements content, social networking or providing services on our pages to set and access cookies and other tracking technologies on your computer. These companies may collect information about your visits to the BKFC Web Site and the BKFC App in order to measure and assess the effectiveness of online advertising and to provide and better target advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. While the information collected by these third parties from you while you are visiting the BKFC Web Site and the BKFC App is not personally identifiable, some of these third parties may also combine such non-personal information with other information they have collected from various other sources, such as their own past online and/or offline purchase information and Web usage from other sites. Such other information may include Personal Information, as well as demographic and behavioral information. Those companies’ use of cookies and other technologies, and the information collected, are governed by those companies’ privacy policies, not BKFC’s. See the “Choices” section below for ways to opt-out.
Short message service (SMS).
BKFC may make available a service through which you can receive messages on your wireless device via short message service ("SMS"). You understand that your wireless carrier’s standard rates apply to these messages. If you subscribe to one of our SMS services, you may be required to register and provide Personal Information. BKFC may also collect the date, time, and content of your messages in the course of your use of the SMS service. BKFC will use the information we obtain in connection with our SMS service for the purpose of sending the SMS messages. If fees are charged to your wireless account invoice, we may provide your carrier with your applicable information to facilitate the transaction in connection therewith. Your wireless carrier and other service providers may also collect data about your wireless device usage, and their practices are governed by their own policies. BKFC may also contact your carrier, which may access the content of your wireless account, for the purpose of identifying and resolving technical problems and/or service-related complaints. BKFC does not guarantee that your use of the SMS service will be private or secure, and we are not liable to you for any lack of privacy or security you may experience. You are fully responsible for taking precautions and providing security measures best suited for your situation and intended use of the SMS service. You may change your mind and unsubscribe to SMS services at any time by following the instructions in the "Choice" section below.
Choices.
You have various choices with respect to certain of our uses of the Personal Information we collect from you on or through the BKFC Web Site, BKFC App or Services. If you have not consented to us using your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy, we will only use it to complete the transaction or provide the service or product you have requested. If you have agreed to receive communications or solicitations from us, but you later change your mind, you can revise your preferences on the site or email us at info@bareknuckle.tv. You also may opt out of receiving all future promotional e-mails from BKFC by clicking on an opt-out or "unsubscribe" link within the promotional e-mail you receive. Please understand that if you opt out of receiving promotional correspondence from BKFC, we may still contact you in connection with your relationship, activities, transactions and communications with BKFC. You may also opt out of our SMS messages by texting "STOP" or another applicable keyword to the short code applicable to the particular SMS Service (as further described herein and herein below). If you have agreed to have BKFC share your Personal Information with third parties so that they may contact you about promotions, offers and other information, you can revise your preferences on the site or email us at info@bareknuckle.tv. If you do request to have BKFC stop sharing your Personal Information with other entities for their direct marketing purposes, such request will only apply as of the date of your request, and BKFC will not be responsible for any communications that you may receive from entities and/or partners and/or advertisers that received your Personal Information prior to such request. In these cases, please contact that entity directly or click on the opt-out or "unsubscribe" link that should be included within the promotional e-mail you receive from such third party. You may opt-out of receiving ads from network advertisers by clicking the AdChoices icon on advertisements that are sent to you, visiting the opt-out pages on the NAI website (access the NAI’s opt-out tool) and the DAA website (access the DAA’s opt-out tool). Opting out does not prevent you from seeing ads; it simply means that network advertisers will no longer collect data for the purpose of providing you targeted ads. The DAA and NAI opt-out tools are cookie-based. They signal network advertisers so that they do not collect data online or deliver specific ads targeting you, and only affect the Internet/web browser on the computer where the cookies are installed. These opt-out tools will only function if your browser is set to accept third-party cookies. If you delete an opt-out cookie or all your cookies from a browser's cookie files, change web browsers, or change computers, you will no longer be opted out of our data collection and ad targeting; and BKFC may place a new cookie unless an opt-out cookie is again reset on that browser. Opting out using one browser on one computer will not opt you out using any other browser on the same or another computer.
Security practices – Security of data
BKFC uses reasonable security efforts to protect the data in our possession; however, no method of transmission or storage of data is 100% secure and we will not be responsible for any damage that results from a security breach of data or the unauthorized access to or use of information, whether Personal Information or Device Identifiable Information. To the extent BKFC provides your Personal Information to any third parties, we will request that they use reasonable security measures to protect your information. Accessing, reviewing, updating or correcting your personal information if you want to access, review, update or correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information, or have us delete the Personal Information (except for information we keep for record-keeping purposes), you can revise your preferences on the BKFC Web Site or email us at info@bareknuckle.tv Upon receiving your communication, we will take appropriate steps to update or correct such information in our possession, or to remove you from our catalog and mailing list. Your preferences include, for example, your profile information, as well as any shipping, payment, and account information (if applicable), as well as whether you want to receive communications from BKFC. You can access your preferences by logging-in to your account. BKFC may request certain Personal Information for the purposes of verifying the identity of the individual seeking access to their personal information records. BKFC may also use your data in any other manner that is disclosed at the time of collection or when BKFC otherwise obtains consent. Please be advised that this policy is not intended to place any limits on what we do with aggregated, pseudonymized or anonymized data.
