Scope of this Policy. This Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose personal information about children under the age of 13 when they or their Parent subscribes on their behalf to a EDGE Service. This policy incorporates by reference the Terms of Use for EDGE. 

BY USING OR ACCESSING OUR SERVICES, OR BY PERMITTING YOUR CHILD TO USE OR ACCESS OUR SERVICES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY.  

About Us. EDGE Esports Development Growth and Education Foundation d/b/a EDGE (“EDGE,” “we,” or “our”) provides Services used by members, leagues, clubs, teams, coaches, in recruiting and event management. We at EDGE are interested in safeguarding your privacy.  

By using the EDGE Esports website, attending an EDGE event, or participating in any EDGE event or Services, you are agreeing to our Privacy Policy.

Depending on the EDGE Service, a Parent will have the option to do some, if not all, of the following:  

  • Create an account that includes Personal and/or Profile Information about you or your child  
  • Register your child online for membership or participation  
  • Receive certain notifications, email or text from other users of the Service  
  • Post photographs or videos of your child

Certain features of the Services are available to children under the age of 13 only with parental consent. These Services are intended for parents or adult use until a child reaches the age of 13. Certain features of the Services can be used by children under the age of 13 only with significant parental involvement, oversight and approval.  

Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to use certain features of the EDGE Services without a parent’s permission. Children under the age of 13 also may not subscribe to or create their own account with EDGE. Children may only have a child account that is established by, and with the permission of, a Parent.  

Parental Consent. EDGE is required by COPPA to use reasonable efforts to ensure that before we collect any personal information from a child, the child’s parent receives notice of and consents to our information practices. As a parent, you should know that through or in connection with the EDGE Service children under the age of 13 may participate in activities that involve the collection or use of personal information. However, children may not participate in activities on these Services without a parent’s permission.  

If your child is under age 13, EDGE must have “verifiable parental consent” before we collect and use your child’s personal information. We do this in two ways: (1) Through the parent’s registration and payment for their child’s participation in a sport or camp, to be a member of a team or club, or to subscribe to use one of the EDGE Services; and, (2) by acceptance of an “email invitation” sent to the parent whereby an account, profile or registration is being created on behalf of the child, or, the child is added to team or club roster, or the parent confirms the intended purpose to use the EDGE Service.  

Information We Collect and How We Collect It. This Privacy Policy Notice and the Terms of Use set forth the information we collect for both children and those who are over the age of 13. This information is collected in the same manner regardless of age but in the instance of a child under 13, only with the Parent’s consent. 

Photography, Video, and Likeness Release. By attending, registering for, and/or participating in any EDGE event or Services (collectively, “EDGE Events”), you (on behalf of yourself and, if applicable, your minor child) hereby grant EDGE (including its affiliates, employees, agents, and assigns) the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right and permission to photograph, film, videotape, record, and/or otherwise capture your (or your child’s) name, voice, image, likeness, and performance (collectively, “Likeness”).

You waive any right to inspect or approve any finished product containing the Likeness and release EDGE from any claims related to its use, including but not limited to claims for invasion of privacy, right of publicity, or defamation.

This consent is binding on you, your heirs, and assigns.

For example, we may track the pages visited, the length of time spent logged in, the information submitted about preferences and comments posted via the Service. This information is associated with your child’s account and may be combined with the personally identifiable information we collect from him or her.  

We may partner with third parties to provide content and/or to display targeted advertisements. We will not share your child’s personally identifiable information with these third parties. However, some of these third parties may use tracking technologies, such as cookies and Web beacons, in order to track user activity. We do not exercise control over or have access to these tracking technologies or the information practices of these parties, which are subject to the privacy policies of these third parties.

Notice of Certain Consumer Rights (for Texas residents)

Texas residents have certain rights with respect to their data under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TXDPSA). To opt-out or exercise other rights, please visit our “Your Choices about Your Information” section or contact us as described below.

Your Choices About Your Information

You can access, correct and update certain personal information that you have provided to us by clicking on “Edit Profile” and “Account Settings” on our Platform(s).  

Communications preferences: You may update your communication preferences at any time by logging into your account and updating your contact information or changing your account settings. You can also stop receiving promotional email communications from EDGE by clicking on the “unsubscribe link” provided in such communications. You can also stop receiving promotional text messaging from EDGE by following the instructions to stop the delivery of such messages, which may include by replying “STOP” to the received text message. We make commercially reasonable efforts to promptly process all unsubscribe requests. As noted above, you may not opt out of Service-related communications (e.g., account verification, purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). Please note that for certain services, coaches and other users may contact you through or outside of the Service and EDGE may not be able to control your preferences for those types of communications.  

Certain of our services may allow college and other coaches to communicate with the athletes on their roster via text message if the coach sender has the athletes’ consent to do so.  

If you have any questions about modifying your account information or changing your communication preferences, you can contact us directly at info@edgeesports.gg.

Privacy Settings: Subject to your profile and privacy settings on certain profile sharing sites contained in certain of our Services, any information that you make public may be searchable by other users and may be accessible via API(s) and viewable on search engines. You may be able to restrict some of this public sharing by changing your profile privacy settings on the Service or by limiting the type of data in your profile. Changing your privacy settings will not have any effect on information that was previously shared through the Service. Remember that even if you remove information that you posted to the Service, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service, or if other users have copied or saved that information.  

Certain information is not searchable or viewable to other Users. This can include: analytics information about your performance on the website, notes you make on your recruiting progress, ratings you give to other Users, your lists of other Users and non-Users, and messages you send and receive.  

How long we keep your Information: Following termination or deactivation of your User account, EDGE may retain your profile information for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, or audit purposes. Please contact us at info@edgeesports.gg if you wish to delete your account. In some instances, we may not be able to delete your content but we will inform you of the reason.  

Please be aware that we will not be able to delete any content you have shared with others on the Service or with social media sites. Please also be aware that we may be able to delete data that you provided to the Service about yourself or others, but we may not be able to delete data about you that was provided by another user, such as a youth coach, scholastic coach, college coach, or tournament director. By way of example, if a youth coach adds an athlete’s information to a team roster or a college coach adds a recruit to the college coach’s list, that information cannot be deleted by the athlete once it has been shared or entered by the coach.  

Use of Designated Agents: We will recognize an authorized agent appointed by you if we can verify, with commercially reasonable effort and certainty, your identity and the agent’s authority to act on your behalf. You acknowledge that you will be bound by the direction given to us by your agent. Please note that certain actions taken by you or your agent may result in limitations on use of certain features on our platforms or limit use of the platform in its entirety.
