Who may use your personal information? 

Your personal information is collected when you subscribe to the Site. Your personal information is intended for Eurosport, and is shared with third parties in certain circumstances.

Our website will, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we have no control over how they may use your personal information.  You should check the privacy policies of third party websites before you submit any personal information to them.

We share your personal information with the following types of third party organisations:

 Eurosport family of companies

We share your personal information among our family of companies, including our subsidiaries and holding companies, in order to provide you with customer support, send you information about services that may be of interest to you (provided that this is in line with your marketing choices) and conduct the other activities described in this Privacy Policy.

 Our service providers

We use other companies, agents or contractors ("Service Providers") to perform services on our behalf or to assist us with the provision of the Site to you. For example, we engage Service Providers to:

• provide marketing, advertising, communications, infrastructure and IT services;

• personalise and optimise our service;

• provide customer service; and

• analyse and enhance data (including data about users' interactions with our service).

In the course of providing such services, these Service Providers may have access to your personal information. However, we will only provide our Service Providers with the information that is necessary for them to perform the services, and they are only authorised to use your personal information in accordance with our instructions.

 Third parties permitted by law 

In certain circumstances, we are required to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (for example, where we have to disclose information to the police, or to judicial or administrative authorities).

We will also disclose your personal information to third parties where disclosure is both legally permissible and necessary to protect or defend our rights, enforce our Terms of Use or protect your rights or those of the public. 

 Third parties connected with business transfers 

We may need to transfer your personal information to third parties in connection with a reorganisation, restructuring, merger, acquisition or transfer of assets, provided that the receiving party agrees to treat your personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.  If we are involved in such a business transfer, you will be notified afterwards via e-mail and/or a prominent notice on our Sites of any change in ownership or uses of personal information as well as any choices that you may have regarding your personal information.

We will not sell your personal information to third parties.

Where we store your personal information

The personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") (for example, in the USA). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us (please see Annex 2 for a list of all the countries where we offer Eurosport Services) or for one of our Service Providers (such as our group companies based in the USA). 

Please be aware that countries which are outside the European Economic Area may not offer the same level of data protection as in the European Union, although our collection, storage and use of your personal data will continue to be governed by this privacy policy.

When transferring personal information outside the EEA, we will:

• include the standard contractual data protection clauses approved by the European Commission for transferring personal information outside the EEA into our contracts with those third parties (these are the clauses approved under Article 46.2 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)); or

• ensure that the country in which your personal information will be handled has been deemed "adequate" by the European Commission under Article 45 of the GDPR.

You can find out further information about the rules on data transfers outside the EEA, including the mechanisms that we rely upon, on the European Commission website here.

Your rights

You have the legal right to:

• gain access to any personal information we hold about you;

• update any of your personal information which is out of date or incorrect;

If an exception applies, we will tell you this when responding to your request.  We may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to any request you make.  

Your right to access the information we hold about you

You can request access to the information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact details set out below.  Our file of your information will usually be made available to you within 30 days, although occasionally we may not be able to give you access to the personal information we hold about you (for example, we may not be able to give you access if it would unreasonably affect someone else's privacy or if giving you access poses a serious threat to someone's life, health or safety).  Please note that we may apply an administrative charge for providing access to your information in certain circumstances where permitted by the relevant law.   Please note that if you request a copy of your data using electronic means (such as e-mail), then we will provide a copy of your information in electronic form unless you ask us to do otherwise.

Your right to have your information corrected, updated or deleted

If you have an account with us, you can sign into that account to update or delete some of your personal information.  

If you have problems updating the information on your account or if you would like us to update or delete your information, please e-mail your request to our Data Protection Officer at DPO@discovery.com and we will action it as soon as possible.

Where we need to collect your personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you want to delete your personal information then we may not be able to perform the contract we have (for example, to provide you with the Site). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

Your right to object to us processing your personal information

You have the right to ask us to stop processing your personal information, even where that processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (for example, where the processing is necessary for the commercial objectives we pursue in the course of our business), including the profiling we undertake to send you personalised offers, product recommendations and similar content.  We will consider all such requests and provide our response within a reasonable period (and in any event within any time period required by applicable law). Please note, however, that certain personal information may be exempt from such requests in certain circumstances.

Your right to stop us from processing your personal information for direct-marketing purposes

You also have the right to ask us to stop processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes, including any profiling we undertake for the purposes of direct marketing.  If you want to opt-out of our targeted advertising then please contact our DPO at DPO@discovery.com at any time.

We will in any case only send you marketing communications if you have previously agreed to this, but if you change your mind you can easily unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time by following the instructions included in these marketing communications.

Your right to have your personal information transmitted to another organisation

Where we hold personal information about you with your consent or for the performance of a contract with you, you also have the right to ask us to provide you with the personal information we hold about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to transmit that personal information to another organisation. 

Your right to provide us with instructions on the management of your personal information after your death

You have the right to provide us with instructions on the management (e.g., retention, erasure and disclosure) of your data after your death. You can change or revoke your instructions at any time. Please contact our Data Protection Officer at DPO@discovery.com to provide us with instructions.

Making a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a local data protection authority in the European Economic Area (EEA) if you believe that we have not complied with applicable data protection laws.

The local data protection authority will differ depending on the country you are in.  Please see the Annex to this Privacy Policy for a list of local data protection authorities in the EEA countries in which we operate.

How long do we keep your personal information?

Your personal Information is stored by us and/or our Service Providers, strictly to the extent necessary for the performance of our obligations and strictly for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is collected, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.  When we no longer need to use your information, we will remove it from our systems and records and/or take steps to properly anonymise it so that you can no longer be identified from it (unless we need to keep your information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which we are subject).  This means that, if you no longer have a live and valid entitlement to the Site and you have not logged into our service for 5 years then we will take steps to delete or anonymise your personal information. 

How do we keep your personal information secure?

Your personal information is collected via a secure server. The secure server software encrypts the information provided before transmitting it to us.  In addition, we have security procedures in place to protect the storage of and prevent unauthorised access to your personal information.
