1. What information of yours does AndyRoddick.com collect? Our goal is to become your favorite Internet destination by providing the information, services, and product offerings that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, AndyRoddick.com must collect information so we can understand what makes you different from its millions of other unique users. While you are not required to register for any services on the AndyRoddick.com, some products and services may not function properly or may not be accessible unless you do.

Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For example, AndyRoddick.com collects some information each time a visitor comes to AndyRoddick.com so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor’s online experience. AndyRoddick.com collects the visitor’s IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from ibm.com or aol.com), referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the last Web page visited by a user before clicking over to AndyRoddick.com), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). AndyRoddick.com collects this user information for purposes of product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. You do not have to register with the AndyRoddick.com before we can collect this anonymous information.

Personally identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name and postal address, which may be collected in addition to the anonymous data described above. AndyRoddick.com collects personal information in the following ways from different parts of its network of Web sites:

a.AndyRoddick.com Registration: When you register to use one or more sites on the AndyRoddick.com, you provide AndyRoddick.com with your name, postal address, ZIP Code, email address, birth date, gender, telephone number, occupation, marital status and other information. While not all of this data is required for our services to function, we are better able to customize your experience if you volunteer complete and accurate information. Users who complete the registration process are given a AndyRoddick.com ID and can take full advantage of the many offerings across the AndyRoddick.com.

c.Other Registration: In addition to registration for various services on the AndyRoddick.com, we may ask you for personal information at other times, including when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by the AndyRoddick.com. If you choose not to provide the requested information, the AndyRoddick.com may not be able to offer you some of the personalized services that depend on this type of information to function

d.Correspondence: If you contact the AndyRoddick.com, we may keep a record of that correspondence. We do not collect any email addresses of those who communicate with the AndyRoddick.com via email. We use the information provided so that we may respond to the email.

When you use Products and Services designed to post or transmit content (e.g. AndyRoddick.com Mail, AndyRoddick.com Communities, etc.), that content is necessarily stored in our computers for varying periods of time and associated with the registration information for your account. AndyRoddick.com will not use or disclose such content except as described in this Privacy Policy.

2. What organization is collecting the information?

When you register for a service within the AndyRoddick.com, that information is generally collected and maintained solely by the AndyRoddick.com unless specifically stated otherwise at the point of collection. If data is collected and/or maintained by any company other than AndyRoddick.com, we will tell you at the point of collection. If you do not want to share your information with that company, you can choose not to use that service.

AndyRoddick.com may run promotions. These promotions may be sponsored or co-sponsored by third-party companies. Data collected during a promotion is typically shared with the sponsor or co-sponsor. AndyRoddick.com will inform you at the point of collection whether or not we are sharing your personal data as a result of your participation in a promotion or sweepstakes. If you do not want to have the AndyRoddick.com share your data, you can choose not to participate in the promotion or sweepstakes.

Be aware that AndyRoddick.com sponsors and other advertisers have links on the network that take you to external sites. Some of these sites may collect personally identifiable information from you and may use cookies and Web beacons. While AndyRoddick.com hopes that all third parties involved adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our users, the AndyRoddick.com Privacy Policy does not cover third-party data collection practices and the AndyRoddick.com does not assume any responsibility for any actions of third parties.

3. What are “cookies” and “Web beacons” and how does AndyRoddick.com use them?

In addition to the personally identifiable information that AndyRoddick.com actively collects when you register, we also collect anonymous information passively using cookies. This technology plays an important role in making the Internet work, but there is much confusion among Internet users about what cookies and Web beacons are and how they are used.

A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a Web site to the hard drive of your computer so that the site administrator may identify your computer and passively track its activities on the Web site. This unique number identifies your Web browser to our computer system whenever you visit AndyRoddick.com. A cookie will not allow a Web site to learn any personally identifiable information (such as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed.

Cookies allow AndyRoddick.com to automatically remember your Web browser when you visit our Network of Web sites. To help serve you better, AndyRoddick.com generally uses cookies to allow us to deliver products and services more efficiently. By storing certain registration and preference information on cookies or associating cookies with registration, preference or profile information stored on our computers, we can deliver products and services that use such information more quickly and efficiently for more users. This information is normally saved in an encrypted form that only AndyRoddick.com can interpret.

Prevent others from using your account. On some AndyRoddick.com sites, cookies help us efficiently determine that only one user is logged on under the same member name at a time.

Measure statistics such as audience size and traffic patterns. This information is only collected an aggregate form and will not be linked to your personally identifiable information.

Display advertisements. Cookies let us know whether or not a Web browser has seen a particular advertisement (so we can show you a variety of material) and count the number of advertisements displayed to a particular browser. We also use cookies to customize the advertising you see based on non-personally identifiable demographic information that you provide when you register.

The use of cookies is an industry standard, and they are currently used on most major Web sites. It is possible to adjust your Web browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or to refuse cookies altogether. While AndyRoddick.com does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain sites and services will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse all cookies.

4. How does the AndyRoddick.com use the information it collects?

Any personally identifiable information you share with AndyRoddick.com when registering for Products and Services at any of our Network sites is maintained and accessible only by AndyRoddick.com unless specifically stated otherwise. AndyRoddick.com requests information from its users so that users can enjoy customized experiences across the AndyRoddick.com, including personalization services, interactive communications, online games and much more. Most of these Products and Services are available to you at no cost, and AndyRoddick.com displays advertisements so we can continue to provide great content and services free of charge. We can also better prepare future content based on your interests.

The following are examples of how the AndyRoddick.com may use the information it collects:

AndyRoddick.com uses the information collected (both anonymous and personal) to personalize and enhance the content you see on the AndyRoddick.com, such as news, advertisements and more.

AndyRoddick.com also uses aggregate data to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure user demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the AndyRoddick.com, and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. We do not track what pages individual users are browsing, but rather how well each page performs overall. Without such data, we would not know which parts of the AndyRoddick.com are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately.

AndyRoddick.com may, from time to time, use your information to contact you about changes or enhancements to Products and Services on the AndyRoddick.com, issues regarding your account, or AndyRoddick.com Terms and Conditions violations or suspensions.

If you enter a sweepstakes or a contest on the AndyRoddick.com, we will use the information you provided to contact you in the event you win.

Premium Level Membership: Your credit card information is used to collect your recurrent subscription fees for Premium Level membership, but is not stored on our servers for our users protection.

All information obtained within AndyRoddick.com is used for the sole purpose of AndyRoddick.com and is not shared in any way with third parties.

Also, AndyRoddick.com will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to subpoena, court order, or other legal process. In matters involving a danger to personal or public safety, AndyRoddick.com may voluntarily provide information to appropriate governmental authorities.

6. How can you access, edit or delete your information?

7. What is the opt-out policy for the AndyRoddick.com?

We offer you the ability to opt-out of receiving AndyRoddick.com updates and information about new services, as well as direct mail offers from AndyRoddick.com. This is done at the point of initial collection of information and during the editing or updating process. The instructions to opt out of most AndyRoddick.com email newsletters and direct mail communications are the same as the instructions for editing user information profiles.

In addition, all AndyRoddick.com newsletters and direct email communications have easy-to-follow unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.

If you have a question about the AndyRoddick.com opt-out process that is not answered here, please send an email to webmaster@AndyRoddick.com.

8. What kinds of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information?

The AndyRoddick.com has security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control. AndyRoddick.com uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any personally identifiable data stored on its computers. Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide us. Any particularly sensitive information, such as a credit card number used to purchase premium services, is encrypted prior to transmission.

While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.

You are ultimately responsible for the security of your AndyRoddick.com ID and password. Please take care when using and storing them. AndyRoddick.com recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone. You should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if several people have access to your personal computer or you are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.

9. How does the AndyRoddick.com comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)?

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 provides safeguards to protect children who use the Internet by regulating the online collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. Because of these safeguards, children under 13 are not able to access or use all Products and Services on AndyRoddick.com. Parents of children under 13 can authorize their children to use some of our services by emailing webmaster@andyroddick.com

10. What you can do to better protect yourself on the Internet?

Know the risks.
Meeting new people in an online community (chat room, forum, newsgroup, message board, Web page, etc.) is one of the best things about the Internet, but you should always be careful about disclosing personal information such as an actual name, member name, email address, and so on. This information may be collected and used by others within the online community to send unsolicited email messages from other parties, outside the AndyRoddick.com. Some of the messages you receive may be useful to you, but some may not. In an effort to curtail unsolicited email, AndyRoddick.com blocks certain email addresses and domains from sending messages to email addresses at our domains.

Educate yourself.
Search the Web for as much information as you can about how to protect your privacy. Look for a privacy policy on the Web sites you visit. A good place to start is TRUSTe — an independent, non-profit organization with a mission to build trust and confidence in the Internet. The Federal Trade Commission has a great Web site with useful information on being a Savvy Internet Traveler along with other privacy initiatives.

Tell your children: “Never talk to strangers!”

While AndyRoddick.com works hard to protect children on the sites within the AndyRoddick.com, we cannot protect their privacy once they leave. Please teach children that they should not reveal their names or other personal information to anyone they encounter on the Internet. They should also be instructed not to fill out any forms or register at any Web site without your knowledge and consent. Parents can also prevent or limit a child’s access to inappropriate material on the Web by using commercially available parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services). Take advantage of the online resources for parents available on the AndyRoddick.com, such as SearchGuard and GetNetWise.
