Privacy:

Introduction: Paradox Sports knows the importance of safe-guarding the personal privacy of its donors, participants, clients, customers and visitors to its website. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) details the information that may be collected, how we use your personally identifiable information and how we protect it from inadvertent disclosure.
Terms: This Privacy Policy applies only to websites operated by or on behalf of Paradox Sports and specifically to those websites hyperlinked to this Privacy Policy (the “Sites”). The references to “Paradox Sports,” “we” or “our” in this Privacy Policy mean Paradox Sports, the Boulder, Colorado nonprofit corporation. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any non-electronic data collection.
The Sites contain links to the websites of other companies and third parties. Paradox Sports is not responsible for the content, practices, privacy policies or terms of usage of those websites.
As used in this Privacy Policy, “personally identifiable information” means information that can be used to identify an individual, or that contains individually identifying characteristics, such as full name, e-mail address, phone number or credit card information. “Aggregate information” refers to group information which has been initially provided as personally identifiable information, but can no longer be used to identify an individual due to the removal of all personally identifiable information.
Collection and Use: You can utilize certain functionality of the Sites without providing personally identifiable information. However at your sole discretion, you may choose to register with Paradox Sports in order to purchase products, make donations or participate with us. The following require that you provide personally identifiable information:
  • Making a donation
  • Delivery of merchandise that you purchase online
  • Billing your credit card for purchases
  • Order confirmation
  • Response to customer-service inquiries or requests
  • Communication of special offers and featured items, but only if you choose to receive such notices
Paradox Sports does not collect any personally identifiable information from the Sites unless it is provided voluntarily. We use personally identifiable information only for purposes consistent with the reasons for its provision, such as:
Making a Donation: First off, thank you. Paradox Sports is sustained by the generosity of our family of donors. By making a gift, you’re helping transform lives.

You can subscribe to the newsletter by telling us you want to subscribe to it using our contact information at the bottom of the website. As part of subscribing, we collect your name, e-mail address, mailing address and other contact information. You may be asked to provide other information in connection with specific programs, or more generally about your interests, so we may specifically tailor our communications with you. This information is not sold, given, or shared with any unaffiliated third-party and is only used to update you with new products, events, or other Paradox Sports news.
