If you submit any content to the Website (e.g., correspondence to Big League Impact, comments, posts to discussion boards, photos, videos, etc.), Big League Impact may publish such content, as well as your name, screen name, and any other identifying information you provided to Big League Impact.

Billing and Credit Card Information

In addition to personal contact information, Big League Impact asks for billing information, such as your billing address and credit card information, when you make a donation, sign up for an event, or purchase a product or service.

Cookies

When you visit the Website, Big League Impact may store some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” (i.e., a small piece of data that stores information on your browser in your computer’s hard drive) or similar file. Big League Impact uses conversion tracking cookies to analyze trends, gather broad demographic information, and monitor website traffic patterns that can help further develop and improve the design and functionality of the Website and Big League Impact’s mission. Big League Impact may also use cookies for “retargeting” in Internet advertising campaigns so that third-party vendors can show you advertising about Big League Impact, its designated beneficiaries, RT Sports, or other related entities as you browse the Internet. Retargeting is a marketing tool that identifies you as a previous visitor to the Website and targets you for specific outreach messages. The cookies will only be used to obtain non-personal information.
