When using our website, you may encounter areas such as games, competitions, chat, forums, shopping, or video services where you may be asked to enter personal information. Your personal information will only be used for the purposes stated at the collection point and/or in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
By entering your personal information, you accept that we may retain your information and it may be held by us or any third-party company which processes it on our behalf.
We reserve the right to perform statistical analysis of user’s behaviour and characteristics to measure interest in, and use of, the various areas of the website and, in addition, to inform advertisers of such information. We will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties.
We collect your information to process orders placed through the website, including processing your payment information, arranging shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations.

We use your personal information to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimise our website.
There may be occasions where we have a legitimate need to process your personal data, and in such circumstances, we may rely on Article 6(1)(f) in UK GDPR – legitimate interests. We only rely on legitimate interests when we are using your data in ways you would reasonably expect and to communicate with you about our products and services.
We shall be entitled to make available user information to send you information about Basketball England for the following purposes including:
We may share your personal data with other Basketball organisations (British Basketball Federation, British Basketball League, Basketball Scotland, Basketball Wales) on a limited basis and for the purpose of governing the sport effectively.

We may use this to observe behaviour and compile aggregate data to improve our website, target the advertising and assess effectiveness of such advertising.
Cookies do not attach to your system and damage your files. Should you not want information collected using Cookies, ‘reject Cookies’ in the Cookie Setting on the website.

Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional accepted security standards through our payment partner.
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect of the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the way your personal information will be handled by these providers.
