Welcome to bowling.sport (“the Website”), operated by or for the International Bowling Federation (IBF) and the entities it controls (collectively, “IBF”). IBF takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy and the ways in which we use your information before you proceed with use of the Website.
This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable information that is collected when you are on the Website, and when you use the Website services, as described in this Privacy Policy.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that IBF does not own or control, or to people that IBF does not employ or manage, including without limitation third-party advertisers or sponsors to whom you provide information. IBF is not responsible for privacy policies or practices of other websites to which you choose to link from the Website, and IBF encourages you to review the privacy policies of those other web sites so you can understand how they collect, use and share information.
IBF does not collect personally identifiable information when you access the Website homepage and browse the Website except as described in this Privacy Policy or the relevant part of the Website.
YOUR DATA is processed in Switzerland, and may be stored and used elsewhere depending on the location of affiliates, business partners, and other entities who are permitted to access such information under the terms of this Privacy Policy (and such locations may include countries which may not afford the same level of protection of such data as the country from which you provided the information). IN SUBMITTING INFORMATION TO US, YOU SPECIFICALLY AGREE TO THAT TRANSFER AND ANY RELATED PURPOSES.
IBF may send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people when:
IBF may set and access IBF cookies on your computer. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of your computer’s hard disk so that the Website can remember who you are.
A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
When you visit the Website we send you a cookie. Cookies may be used in the following ways:
Two types of cookies may be used on this website: (a) session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and (b) persistent cookies, which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).
Other companies that are presenting advertisements on some pages may set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies’ use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to IBF’s cookies.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled.
Find out how to disable/enable cookies by accessing the “Help” menu in your browser’s menu bar and search for the term “cookies”.
IBF has implemented reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, the Internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.
If you communicate with IBF by e-mail, you should note that the secrecy of Internet e-mail is uncertain. By sending sensitive or confidential e-mail messages or information which are not encrypted you accept the risk of such uncertainty and possible lack of confidentiality over the Internet.
You are entitled to see the information held about you. If you wish to do this, please contact: info@bowling.sport
We may require you to provide verification of your identity and to pay an administration fee to provide a copy of the information we hold. Please note that in certain circumstances we may withhold access to your information where we have the right to do so under current data protection legislation.
You may review, correct, update or change your personal information at any time by accessing your account on IBF.com
This policy may be amended from time to time. If we amend the Privacy Policy in any way we will place an updated version on this page of the Website. Regularly reviewing this page ensures that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other parties. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on the Website.
If you have questions or suggestions about this Privacy Policy or your personal information, please contact info@bowling.sport
