Social Media
Our Sites may provide you with the ability to register, log into, “like” or otherwise interact with third party social media services, including, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, and other social media services. These features may enable integration and/or access to your social media accounts. We do not control these social media services or your profiles on these services, and we do not establish privacy settings or rules for how your personal information on these services will be used. If you choose to log on to or submit information through any of these social media services, your personal information will be subject to the applicable social media service’s terms and conditions and your current privacy settings on such social media service. By accessing any social media service, you will be assuming the risk that the personal information you provide on that service may be viewed and/or used by third parties for any purpose. You agree that we are not responsible for any acts or omissions by these social media service providers.
Images
During the course of STLC training events, workshops, social events, clinics, volunteer activities, and races, members of the STLC board, or other STLC members may take photographs of you and others. By becoming a STLC member, you consent to allowing your image to be used on the STLC Site, social media sites, newsletters, advertising, and STLC promotional materials. Images will never be sold or used for commercial purposes other than to promote the activities of the Club. Members may request that personal images not be used on STLC Sites by writing to privacy@stlouistriclub.com
Security of Your Personal Information
STLC takes reasonable steps to help protect and secure your personal information. However, please remember that no data storage or data transmission over the Internet, or by other means, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Thus, STLC cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Therefore, you understand, acknowledge and agree that you transmit your personal information to our Sites at your own risk.
Third Party Content and Links to Third Party Websites
Our Sites may contain content hosted or served by third parties or link to websites operated by partners of STLC or third parties. Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy for STLC do not apply to information gathered by these third parties. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies employed by any third party, and our hosting of third party content or linking to third party websites does not constitute an endorsement of the content or business practices of those third parties.
Member Forum
Please remember that any information you share in our member forum, message boards or feedback sections, becomes available to other members, who may take and use that information. Please be careful about what you disclose and do not post any personal information that you expect to keep private.
Governing Law
These Sites are published in the United States. We attempt to protect the personal information of all users of our Sites and we attempt to comply with local data protection and consumer rights laws to the extent they may apply to STLC’s services, but our Sites are located and targeted to United States citizens and our policies are directed at compliance with those laws. If you are uncertain whether this Privacy Policy conflicts with the applicable local privacy laws where you are located, you should not submit your personal information to STLC.
Notice to Non-US Users
If you are located outside the United States of America, you should be aware that your personally identifiable information will be transferred to the United States of America, the laws of which may be deemed by the your country to have inadequate data protection. If you are located in a country outside the United States of America and voluntarily submit personally identifiable information to us on the Sites, you thereby consent to the general use of such information as provided in this Privacy Policy and to the transfer of that information to, and/or storage of that information in, the United States of America.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
