Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. Privacy Policy

Virtual Tennis Academy Inc has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses how we collect, store and use information about customers and prospects, and how to correct or change such information. Virtual Tennis Academy Inc 's Privacy Policy is not intended to and does not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.

Personally Identifiable Information

Virtual Tennis Academy Inc does not collect personally identifiable information (e.g., name, address, e-mail address, age, or income level) about individuals except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from a contest or sweepstakes registration, the registration process for membership services and in connection with content submissions, community postings (e.g., chat and bulletin/message boards), suggestions, voting/polling activities, online shopping and other transactional areas. Virtual Tennis Academy Inc uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information.

Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. uses customer contact information from the registration form (e.g., name, address, e-mail address) to send the user information about Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. and its instructors. Users may opt out of any promotional material from our partners. Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. also uses such information to contact the visitor when necessary and shares such information with other companies who may want to contact our visitors (provided that users will always have the ability to opt out of any distribution). Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. collects demographic and profile data (e.g., age, zip/postal code or income level) to tailor each visitor's experience at our site, showing such visitor content that we think he might be interested in, and displaying the content according to his preferences.

We will maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of your personally identifiable information. Notwithstanding any failure to opt in or out of promotional information by the user, Virtual Tennis Academy Inc reserves the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the service agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.

Virtual Tennis Academy Inc reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. will provide only “aggregated” data - - meaning that the information from many users is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular user - - from those analyses to third parties. Also, users should be aware that Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. might sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration services through the Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. site. Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the applicable privacy policy of such parties when providing personally identifiable information.

Additionally, users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information on the bulletin/message boards, forums, news groups and/or in the chat areas of the Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. site, that information, along with substantive information disclosed in the user's communication, becomes public information, which can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. While Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. strives to protect a user's personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.

Use of Cookies

Cookies allow us to serve you faster and with better quality, and make web surfing easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases and preferences while you are at our site so you don't have to re-enter such information each time you visit our site. The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and you'll find them used on almost every major web site to provide an enhanced online experience. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. Cookies allow us to track usage patterns and to compile data that can help us improve our content and target advertising. Further, we use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your member ID. No other company has access to our cookies. Users should be aware that Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers of third parties hosting data for Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. These cookies are not subject to Virtual Tennis Academy Inc 's Privacy Policy. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature. However, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on the Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. site.

Individuals Under 13

No information should be submitted to or posted at Virtual Tennis Academy Inc 's web site by guests under 13 years of age without the prior consent of their parent or guardian (for example, by sending in a permission form by regular mail or by fax). When a guest under 13 registers, his/her parent or guardian receives an e-mail alerting them to that registration and providing instructions on how the parent could delete the registration if so desired. Although guests under 13 years of age are allowed to participate in contests (subject to the contest rules), if such a guest wins, notification and prizes are sent to the parents or guardian identified in the initial registration process. No information collected from guests under 13 years of age is used for any marketing or promotional purpose whatsoever, either inside or outside Virtual Tennis Academy Inc.

Personal Information

Upon request, Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. will use reasonable efforts to allow users to update/correct personal information previously submitted which the user states is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon a user's request, Virtual Tennis Academy Inc. will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete the user and his or her personal information from its database; however, it may be impossible to delete a user's entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions.
