We at SK SPORTS respect and value your privacy. When you buy a product from us, this privacy policy is part of the sales agreement. We may collect, use, retain or disclose information about you only for these legitimate purposes:
- To carry out the normal commercial operations of an on-line catalogue or in-store retail business. (These may include answering your product queries, processing your order and delivering or shipping you the product, obtaining payment, and maintaining proper tax and accounting records).
- To send you catalogues, flyers and offers about the products we sell, unless you advise us not to.
- To carry out any other activity which has your consent?
- To comply with legal requirements or so that we can respond to any complaints or claims against us.
When trusted third parties (such as our accountants or a delivery company) are performing a service for us or for you, we may provide them with our information about you only to the extent they need it to perform that service. We will not sell or lease information about you, with these exceptions:
- With your express consent, we may provide information to reputable companies for purposes such as sending you their custom offers. We will obtain assurances from them that they will respect your privacy and that they will remove your from their mailing lists whenever you ask.
- If we reorganize our company, or sell or lease our business, the new entity, owner or operator will assume any rights we have in respect of our information about you. We would obtain reasonable assurances that your privacy would continue to be respected.
- We may create and sell or provide data (i.e. figures on sales of a particular product in a particular month) that is in a form that does not permit you to be identified.
