Welcome
Welcome to www.theFTTC.org and www.theFTTC.com. This site (the
“Site”) is owned by theFamilyTeamTennisChampionships Incorporated. This
Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding
collection, use and disclosure of information that we may collect from
and about you. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before
using or submitting information to this Site. This Site is intended for
use by residents of the United States.
Your Consent
By using this Site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Whenever you submit information via this Site, you consent to the
collection, use and disclosure of that information in accordance with

this Site that may be presented at the time information is collected.
About Children
The Site is a general audience site. We do not knowingly collect any
personal information from children under the age of thirteen on the
Site. If in the future, we collect personally identifiable information
from children, we will do so in compliance with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.). The Internet
offers children wonderful educational and entertainment resources. Your
guidance and involvement are essential to help ensure that children have
a safe and rewarding online experience. We encourage you to visit the
Direct Marketing Association’s Web site (www.the-dma.org)
and explore the Get CyberSavvy! Program as well as the GetNetWise Web
site (www.getnetwise.org)
to learn more about parental control tools.
Active Information
Collection
Like many Web sites, this Site actively collects information from its
visitors both by asking them specific questions and by permitting them
to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, chat rooms
and so forth. Some of the information that you submit may be personally
identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely
identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address,
phone number and so on).
Some areas of this Site may require you to submit information in order
for you to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter
subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing and so forth) or to
participate in a particular activity (such as raffles, auctions or other
promotions and so forth). You will be informed at each information
collection point what information is required and what information is
optional.
Passive Information
Collection
As you navigate through this Site and/or receive emails in connection
with this Site, certain information may be passively collected (that is,
gathered without your actively providing the information) using various
technologies and means, including, without limitation, those described
below:
Cookies
As with many Websites, the Site uses standard technology called
“cookies,” which are small data files that are transferred to your
computer when you allow your browser to accept cookies. Cookies
automatically identify your Web browser to the Site whenever you visit
the Site, and make using the Site easier for you by saving your
passwords, purchases, and preferences. By tracking how and when you use
the Site, cookies help us determine which areas are popular and which
are not. Many improvements and updates to the Site are based on data
obtained from cookies.
Accepting cookies allows you, among other things, to personalize your
experience on the Site. Cookies may also allow the Site to present to
you advertising which may be of interest to you. If you do not want
information collected through the use of cookies, you generally can opt
out of providing this information by turning the cookies off in your

personalized experience if you have disabled the use of cookies.
IP Addresses and
Automatic Information
We may collect IP addresses and/or automatic information for purposes of
system administration and to report aggregate information to our
advertisers and sponsors. An IP address is a number that is
automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the
Internet. Our computers identify your computer by its IP address. When
you request Web pages from the Site, our computers log your IP
address.
Automatic information is information collected by our computers when you
request Web pages from the Site. Automatic information may include such
information as the page served, the time, the source of the request, the
type of browser making the request, the preceding page view and other
such information. When analyzed, this data helps us analyze how
visitors arrive at the Site, what type of content is most popular, what
type of visitors in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of
content and advertising, and the like.
Information From Other Sources
From time to time we, and/or our operational partners may receive
information about you from other sources and add it to the data
previously collected about you.

purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this Site, we may
combine such information with other actively collected information
unless specified otherwise at the point of collection on this Site. We
may combine personally identifiable information with passively collected
information.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to third
parties located in the United States and/or any other country:
i. to our affiliates;
ii. to our sponsors;
iii. to other tennis related organizations;
iv. to select companies or organizations which we believe may offer
products, services, materials or information of interest to visitors to

v. to third parties we use to support our business (including

providers, email service providers, forum service providers,
advertisement sales and management services and financial institutions);
vi. in connection with the sale, assignment or other transfer of the
business of this Site to which the information relates; or
vii. where required by applicable laws, court orders or government
regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through
this Site that is not in personally identifiable form.
Third-Party Ad Serving
& Audience and Traffic Measurement Services
The Site may use a third party network advertisers to serve the
advertisements on the Site or may use a traffic measurement service to
analyze the traffic on the Site. Network advertisers are third
parties that display advertisements based on your visits to this Site
and other Web sites you have visited. Third-party ad serving enables us
to target advertisements to you for products or Web sites you might be
interested in. Although advertisers or other companies do not have
access to the Site cookies, the Site’s advertisers, sponsors, and/or
traffic measurement services may themselves set and access their own
cookies on your computer if you choose to have your cookies enabled in
your browser. Cookies allow third party advertisers to show you
advertisements or content you might be interested in. Other companies'
use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this
one.
