Legal Basis For Processing (European Union and Switzerland Visitors Only)

If you are a visitor from the European Union (EU) and Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and processing the information described above will depend on the information concerned and the specific context in which we collect and process it. We collect and process information from you only where we have your consent (Art. 6 para 1 lit. a) GDPR), where we need the information to provide our contractual obligation to you (Art. 6 para 1 lit. b) GDPR), or where we have a legitimate interest to do so.

If you wish to learn more about specific legal ground(s) we rely on to process your information for any particular purpose (including any legitimate interests we have to process information), then please contact us using the details provided below under “Questions and Suggestions”. However, by way of example, we rely on our legitimate interests to process information for fraud prevention and detection, provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (Art. 6 para 1 lit. f) GDPR).

International Transfers

QSchool Sports™ operates its technology from servers located in the United States and the information it collects through clients is processed solely in the United States. Laws governing the collection and use of data in the United States may not be equivalent to those in the country where you reside, but QSchool Sports™ will at all times protect your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

QSchool Sports™ may share your information with our affiliates and other third parties described above who are based in countries outside of your country of residence. While some countries may not have data protection laws that are equivalent to those of the country in which you reside, we will take all reasonable measures to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and all applicable legal requirements.

If any of the recipients is located in a country without the adequate legal protection or safeguards for personal data, QSchool Sports™ will make reasonable efforts so the recipient adopts the principles described in this Privacy Policy.

Impact of EU-U.S. Privacy Shield

This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with the GDPR and the EU-US framework of privacy principles agreed on February 2, 2016 and formally adopted by the European Commission implementing decision C(2016) 4176 final of July 12, 2016, or any other framework for transferring personal data from the EEA or Switzerland to the United States that is approved by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection pursuant to the GDPR (the “Privacy Shield”). In the event of any amendment to the GDPR or the Privacy Shield, this Privacy Policy shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with such amendment.
