Notice To Persons Accessing the Site from Outside the United States

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US ON OUR SITE IS PROCESSED ON OUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS LOCATED IN THE U.S. CONSEQUENTLY, IF YOU RESIDE OUTSIDE THE U.S., ANY INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US ON OUR WEBSITE WILL BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY AND INTO THE U.S. IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY, DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET. BY PROVIDING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO THE COMMITTEE, YOU CONSENT TO ITS STORAGE AND USE AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT AND SECURITY POLICY.

PRIVACY STATEMENT

The information we collect
When you use our site, we receive and collect certain information. The information that we receive and collect depends on what you do when you visit the azsuperbowl.com website.

Automatically Collected Information.
Some information is automatically received and sometimes collected from you when you visit the AzSuperBowl.com site. This information may include some or all of the following items:

the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet, including the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using and the IP address of your Internet Service Provider;
the type and version of Internet browser software you use and your operating system;
the date and time you access our site;
the length of your visit;
the specific pages, images, video or forms that you access while visiting the site;
the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site, and if applicable, the search engine that referred you and any search strings or phrases that you entered into the search engine to find this site; and
demographic information concerning the country of origin of your computer and the language(s) used by it.

We use this information to monitor the usage of our site, assess its performance, ensure technological compatibility with your computer, and understand the relative importance of the information provided on our site. We also use this data to conduct statistical analyses on visitors' usage patterns and other aggregated data. Also, when we send e-mails to you, we may be able to identify information about your e-mail account, such as whether you can read graphic-rich HTML e-mails.

Information Collected via Cookies.
We use cookies to enhance the web site experience of AzSuperBowl.com. "Cookies" are small files or records that we place on your computer's hard drive to collect information about your activities on AzSuperBowl.com. The information captured makes it possible for us (i) to speed navigation, and provide you with custom-tailored content; (ii) to remember information you gave to us so you don't have to reenter it each time you visit AzSuperBowl.com; (iii) to monitor the effectiveness of certain marketing e-mail campaigns; (iv) to ensure proper navigation through the product registration process; and (v) to monitor total number of visitors and pages viewed.

Most people do not know that cookies are being placed on their computers when they visit the AzSuperBowl.com or most web sites because browsers are typically set to accept cookies. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off cookie placements. If you refuse cookies, you can still browse AzSuperBowl.com.

Information Collected Using Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs.
To help us understand the effectiveness of certain marketing efforts, AzSuperBowl.com may use "message format" and "message open" sensing technologies. Both technologies require the use of pixel tags or clear GIFs (also called web beacons). The "message format" sensing technology allows us to recognize whether you have enabled your e-mail program to receive HTML e-mails; if so, this information is then associated with your e-mail address so that subsequent messages can be sent to you in HTML format. The "message open" sensing technology allows us to recognize whether you have opened our e-mail message. We can only detect this if you have enabled your e-mail program to receive HTML e-mails. Additionally pixel tags or clear GIFs may be used to monitor the success of specific marketing campaigns and track the successful completion and submission of web forms.

Information You Actively Submit to AzSuperBowl.com.
For most of the browsing services we provide, we neither require nor collect "Visitor Information." Visitor Information is information that could personally identify you, for example, your name, e-mail address, physical address, phone number(s), job description and or other information that can be used to identify or contact you. You can browse the AzSuperBowl.com site and take as much time as you want to review the information we provide without having to submit such Visitor Information.

When you want to engage in any of the following activities on our website, we do need you to actively submit Visitor Information: (i) email the Committee your cover letter and resume for employment inquiries; (ii) email the Committee about your interest in becoming a volunteer; (iii) sign up to become a volunteer; (iv) email the Committee with general, business outreach, community outreach, media and sponsorship inquiries; (v) register for the Committee's eNewsletter; or (vi) otherwise communicate with the Committee by e-mail through our site.

You are not restricted to online requests, so you may be able to obtain the information or services you are requesting offline without providing any Visitor Information through the website. See the applicable web page and forms for more details and any available alternatives. In lieu of entering information online, you may write us at Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, 9311 East Via de Ventura Blvd., Scottsdale, Arizona 85258. If you provide Visitor Information online, then by doing so, you are expressly authorizing the Committee to use and disclose your Visitor Information for the purpose(s) for which you have provided it.

Sensitive Information.
The Committee does not require or request that you provide us with "sensitive information" for any purpose, including but not limited to information on racial or ethnic origin, gender, political or religious beliefs, trade union membership, medical or health data, or sexual orientation. However, if at any time we become aware that you have provided us with sensitive information, and believe that we have a need to disclose such sensitive information, we would request and receive your express permission (you would be given the right to opt in) before disclosing the sensitive information to a third party or using it for a purpose other than its original purpose or the purpose subsequently authorized by you.

Personal Information about Children.
Because the AzSuperBowl.com web site is targeted for use by adults, we do not market to or create special areas for use by children. Accordingly, we do not collect age identifying information nor do we knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 years. However, we hereby advise all visitors to our site under the age of 13 not to disclose or provide any personally identifiable information on our site. In the event that we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided personally identifiable information to us, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protect Act, we will delete the child's personally identifiable information from our files to the extent technologically possible. See the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy for more information about this Act.

Communicating with the Committee by e-mail.
When you send an e-mail to the Committee, we will share your correspondence, including any Visitor Information provided in the e-mail, with employees, representatives, resellers or agents most capable of addressing your particular correspondence. We will retain your communication until we have done our very best to provide you with a complete and satisfactory response and may subsequently retain your communication for our records. We will not use or disclose your e-mail address or other Visitor Information contained in your correspondence for any purposes other than those for which you have provided them without first obtaining your permission. All comments, feedback, suggestions, ideas, and other submissions disclosed, submitted, or offered to the Committee in connection with your use of this website (collectively "Comments") will become and remain the property of the Committee. Please understand that the Committee and others working to make the 42nd Super Bowl a success have an enormous number of events and ideas in progress. In addition we receive solicited and unsolicited ideas from any number of sources. Do not send the Committee unsolicited Comments intended to bind the Committee contractually, intended to make a binding offer or with the intention of receiving compensation or credit for your submission. To the extent permitted by law, the Committee hereby explicitly rejects such contracts and offers and by using the AzSuperBowl.com site you agree that the Committee may use or disclose Comments in any manner, without restriction and without compensation or credit to you.

How we use and share Visitor Information
The Committee may use the Visitor Information you provide on this website in the following ways:

To process, complete or otherwise act upon or respond to your request or reason for submitting that information;
To register and/or verify you in connection with a service or feature that you are attempting to access or obtain;
To communicate with you about your request or reason for submitting that information;
To provide additional information to you about the Committee, the National Football League and the Super Bowl game that we believe may interest you if you have affirmatively chosen to receive such information;
To study and analyze the use of the information and features available on our website; and
To assist, when necessary, in protecting our rights or property, enforcing the provisions of our Privacy and Security Policy and Terms of Use, preventing harm to you or others, and/or otherwise complying with an applicable law.

Visitors should be aware that the Committee may sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services through the AzSuperBowl.com site. The Committee is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the applicable Privacy and Security Policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information.

Our view on disclosing Visitor Information is simple. We do not sell Visitor Information to third parties. And unless we first obtain your permission for some other purpose, we share your personally identifiable information with third parties only under the limited circumstances stated below:

Bonded mail houses and recruitment firms may receive your name, mailing address and e-mail address to effect delivery of direct and/or e-mail marketing campaigns if you have opted to receive such campaigns.
If the Committee enters into contractual agreements with resellers and agents inside or outside the United States, Committee will disclose Visitor Information for the purpose of delivering such customer service.
If you send us a cover letter and/or resume to apply for employment, the Committee may use your Visitor Information to conduct a background check to determine your suitability for employment with the Committee. In conducting these checks, we may disclose Visitor Information to credit reporting agencies, private investigators or other companies whose business includes background investigations on potential employees, governmental agents and agencies, your prior employers and any personal references that you may provide to the Committee. Any such disclosures will be made solely for the purpose of confirming the information you have provided to the Committee in the course of applying for employment and determining your suitability and qualifications for the position for which you have applied.
Visitor Information is subject to disclosure in response to judicial or other governmental subpoenas, warrants, demands and court orders served on the Committee in accordance with their terms.
Visitor Information is subject to disclosure to protect our rights or property, to enforce the provisions of our Privacy and Security Policy or Terms of Use, to prevent harm to you or others, and/or to otherwise comply with an applicable law.
Visitor Information may be disclosed and transferred if the Committee or its business is sold or offered for sale to another company, entity or person(s), if a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Laws is filed by or against the Committee, or if the Committee becomes subject to an order of appointment of a trustee or receiver.

With respect to the personally identifiable information that you provide to the Committee on this site, we will not use or disclose your personally identifiable information for a purpose incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally provided or subsequently authorized by you. If we believe that we have a reasonable need to use your personally identifiable information for another purpose, we will first seek your permission before doing so. As stated above, we may use the services of third parties to assist us in connection with information and services you request. As a result, any such third parties will have access to your personally identifiable information but are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than to provide the requested services and are required to adhere to the Notice and Choice principles described in this Privacy Policy and Security Agreement. Please be aware that, while we request any such third parties to adhere to the principles, the Committee cannot and does not guarantee or otherwise ensure their compliance.

Communications from the Committee.
You may receive the following communications from the Committee:

E-mails.
These e-mails include responses to requests for information or services and confirmations of receipt of your inquiries.

Communications containing information about the Committee.
We will send e-mails containing the Committee's e-newsletter regarding events, general Super Bowl information, sponsorship opportunities, business and community outreach opportunities, volunteer and employment opportunities and related activities. You must proactively opt-in for such communications. Once a client has "opted in," the client can easily opt-out by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link provided within the body of the e-newsletter. In addition, if at any time you wish to stop receiving these types of e-mails from the Committee, you may notify us in writing at Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, 9311 East Via de Ventura Blvd., Scottsdale, Arizona 85258. Please allow time for your request to be received and processed.

Linking to Third-Party Web Sites
The Committee provides or intends to provide numerous links to other web sites that it does not own or control. When you click on links on our site that take you to third-party web sites, you will be subject to the third parties' privacy policies. While we support the protection of privacy on the Internet, the Committee cannot be responsible for the actions of any third-party web sites, including those of its sponsors. We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement of any and every site you visit, whether you are linking from our site or browsing on your own.

Access to and Managing Your Visitor Information
If you have provided us with personally identifiable information, you can contact us to request that we provide you with the personally identifiable information we have in our records about you and how to correct, amend, or delete your personally identifiable or sensitive information. It may be impossible to delete a Visitor's entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions. If you become aware that personally identifiable information or sensitive information you may have provided that we have in our records about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or incompatible with the purposes for which it was provided or subsequently authorized by you, please notify us using the contact information provided below. We reserve the right to limit the number of times such a request can be made and to charge you for responding to such requests if this process is misused or abused.

What You Need to Do to Protect Your Personally Identifiable Information
You have several options when deciding how you can best protect your personally identifiable information. One option is simply not to volunteer it. As stated above, this approach would allow you to still visit our site. And you have the option of obtaining information and services, obtaining additional information about the Committee and its offerings, and applying for employment or volunteer opportunities with the Committee without submitting personally identifiable information online. To do this, please write to us at Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, 9311 East Via de Ventura Blvd., Scottsdale, Arizona 85258. The Federal Trade Commission's website, www.ftc.gov, also offers useful information about how to protect personally identifiable information provided to a website. Outside of the United States, you should check the applicable sites of your particular country or region, such as the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom (http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/) or the Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner in Australia (http://www.privacy.gov.au/).

What to Do About Suspected Violations of This Privacy and Security Policy
We have internal processes in place to monitor our compliance with the Safe Harbor Principles, to train employees in their implementation, to discipline employees for failure to follow them, and to address all questions or complaints. We encourage you to raise any concerns or complaints related to our compliance with this Privacy and Security Policy or the Safe Harbor Principles directly with us by notifying us in writing at Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, 9311 East Via de Ventura Blvd., Scottsdale, Arizona 85258. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to promptly address your concerns.

Limitation on Application of Safe Harbor Principles
Adherence by the Committee to the Safe Harbor Principles may be limited (a) to the extent required to meet national security, public interest or legal obligations; and (b) to the extent an applicable law, rule, or regulation confers a conflicting obligation or an explicit authorization upon the Committee. Where such authorization exists, the Committee will minimize its non-compliance with the principles so as to do no more than is necessary to satisfy these legitimate overriding interests.

SECURITY POLICY

Protecting your information
We utilize processes and technology to provide you with the reasonable assurance that your personally identifiable information is secured against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, you should know that the personally identifiable information you provide through online forms is not secured using encryption. If you voluntarily sign up for our e-newsletter, we send your request and the Visitor Information you have provided to the third-party site Silverpop, which contains a set of tools for creating e-newsletter mailings and managing mailing lists. It is our understanding the tools on the Silverpop site are password protected to help prevent unwarranted access to the e-mailing list information. We are not in a position to verify the security of this and other third party sites. If you are not comfortable with the level of security provided, you should not sign up for the e-newsletter or provide any other personally identifiable information to the Committee.

If you communicate with us by e-mail, that message will typically not be encrypted. Accordingly, the Committee encourages you to limit the amount of personally identifiable information that you include in any e-mail message that you send to us.

Changes to Security
This Security Policy was last changed on May 17, 2006. If we change our Security Policy, we will post those changes on our website so you are always aware of the measures we are taking to protect the information collected on this site. If we make material changes, we will also post a notice on our home page, which notice will run for 10 consecutive days following the effective date of the modified privacy statement. YOU ARE HEREBY ADVISED THAT YOUR CONTINUED USE OF OUR SITE AND/OR SUBMISSION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF ANY AMENDMENTS TO AND THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT AND SECURITY POLICY.
