This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and share your personal information through our services. D1 Notes LLC is the data controller of the personal information collected through the services as defined in our Terms of Service (“Terms”). D1 Notes LLC is referred to in this Policy as “D1 Notes”, “we”, “our” or “us”.
How we handle your information depends on which services you use and how you use them. This Policy is grouped into these sections:
We encourage you to read this Policy carefully. if you're under 16, then your parent or guardian must read it before you use the Services, and you won't be able to use a player accourt if that adult hasn't authorized it. If you have questions, please contact us.
This Policy is designed to explain how we process your personal information and how you can exercise control over our processing. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this Policy are defined in our Terms. The Terms describe how the Services works in general, and establish a contract between you and us governing your use of the Services.
If you have any questions or feedback about this Policy, contact us at https://d1notes.com/contact, email privacy@d1notes.com or write to: D1 Notes LLC, [301 North Canon Drive, Suite 305, Beverly Hills CA 90210].
Because the Services change often, this Policy may change over time. Anytime we modify the Policy, we will post a revised version on the Services as noted at Last Update above. If we intend to materially change how we use your personal information described at the time of collection, we will notify you before the changes take effect, so you have time to review them. If we have your contact information (such as your email or phone number), we will notify you that way. We may also post a temporary banner on the Services, or notify you by other means to the extent required by law
Check the Last Update date periodically to ensure you're aware of the current Policy. By using or accessing the Services, you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by this Policy and the Terms.
This Policy applies to you when you use the Services, effective as of the Last Update. However, some collection and use of information falls outside this Policy:
As the premier destination for tomorrow's collegiate and professional athletes, we prioritize the privacy of players. If you're under 16, you may only use a player account if your parent or guardian has authorized it via email (with the opportunity to create a parental account). If you're under 13, you can't use the Services until you are.
If you're a player, please be honest about whether you're under 16 at account registration. The Services assume you will turn 18 in the year you graduate high school, and require parental authorization if that indicates you might be under 16 when you sign up.
We reserve the right to require adult authorization or reauthorization for any player account at any time. If we learn that a person under 16 is using a player account without adult authorization, we will suspend the account and may take other action.
We collect certain information when you use the services. This includes information you provide through the services, information we collect automatically, and information we receive from other sources. This also includes information you may provide to third-party service providers while using our services.
This section describes, comprehensively, how the services collect and use your information, and our legal basis for that processing.

For example, our use and transfer of information via Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
D1 Notes has implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Still, no data transmission online is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you provide, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot promise that your information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we may provide.
This section describes how and why we exchange personal information with contractors and third parties. It also describes exchanges made for certain purposes, like advertising, legal reasons and consensual direct marketing. We may also disclose deidentified and/or anonymized data for these purposes.
In addition to the use of trackers described above, we contract with companies or individuals to provide certain services related to the functionality and features of the Services, including payment processing, email and hosting services, software development, shipping and fulfillment, data management, and administration of contests and other promotions. We refer to them as “contractors.”
We may disclose information about you, such as Personal Identifiers, Commercial Information, Internet Activity and Device Information, to contractors as necessary for them to perform their services. Contractors are not permitted to use information about you for any other purpose. In the past twelve (12) months, we have disclosed these types of information to the following types of contractors:
No personal data from or about minors are 'shared' with adverstiing partners, and we do not allow ad tracking technologies to collect personal information from underage users. However, for adult users, we may share information with advertising partners to make the advertising presented to you more relevant to you. We also market the Services to you through ads facilitated by marketing vendors. However,
For example, we use Google to serve ads on the Services and we may market the Services to you on third party services through Google. Google uses cookies or unique device identifiers, in combination with their own data, to show you ads #5476077.1—D1 Notes—Privacy Policy based on your visits to our webpages and to other sites. You can opt out of the use of the Google cookie by visiting the related Google privacy policy.
We try to limit how our third-party advertising technology vendors use information they collect from you. Most providers require us to enter contracts that allow them to optimize their ad services and products. Essentially, they combine any information they may gather about you through our Services with information they receive from their other clients. This helps them target ads to you on behalf of their other clients, not just us
In the past twelve months, we have shared these categories of personal information with third parties to personalize advertising:
We only share your contact information with third parties for direct marketing purposes if you opt inor do not opt out when prompted, and will only do so until you opt out. For example, you may have the opportunity to opt-in to allow us to share your contact information with a business as part of a promotion or application process, or you may be able to opt-in to direct marketing from certain partners. We will never share information in this manner without giving you one of these two options.
Finally, we may disclose personal information:
We may periodically ask for your consent to disclose your information to third parties. Whenever we ask your consent for this reason, we will summarize the purpose and scope of the disclosure. For example, we may offer discounts to you if you consent to join our mailing list or participate in a promotion involving direct marketing communications.
In those cases, the Services will display a tickbox near an email-entry field explaining that by submitting your information, you agree to share your email with the content provider. #5476077.1—D1 Notes—Privacy Policy To be clear, we only exchange information about you with third parties for direct marketing purposes if you opt in, and will only do so until you opt out.
We retain your information only as long as we need it for the purposes described under Information we collect & how we use it, except when longer retention is required by our compliance policies and efforts toward applicable legal, tax, accounting and regulatory requirements.
How long we need information for those purposes varies by category, and even within categories. These retention determinations always consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from its unauthorized use or disclosure and whether we can achieve those purposes without using the personal information.
As a user of the Services, you have rights and choices about your personal information. We want you to be in control of your information, so we want to remind you of the following options and tools available to you:
If you reside outside the United States, we transfer information about you for processing in the United States. By providing your information to us, you consent to the processing of the information in the United States. The transfer of this information to the United States is necessary for the performance of our contract for use of the Services.
When we transfer personal data subject to GDPR outside of D1 Notes, we use standard contract clauses approved by the EU for this purpose, or another appropriate transfer mechanism.
The Services operate from the United States, but this Policy applies worldwide. Our practices generally do not differ based on your location, but your rights and choices depend in part on the law where you live.

We may disclose your personal information with service providers and third parties for business or commercial purposes as described under Our disclosures of information to others above.
