The sites that such links may direct you to have their own separate privacy policy. NEXGOAL is not liable for the content and activities of those sites. Your visits and access to such websites is at your own risk.

Who We Are 

We are a private and public social network for athletes and fans with a focus on facilitating the recruitment needs of our users.

Information We Collect 

You may be required to provide “personal information” to access or use certain parts of our Website or features of the Site. If you do not provide the requested personal information, you may not be able to access or use the features of the Site where such information is requested. We may ask you for personal information, which includes information that pertains to your identity, which we or certain of our third-party partners consider necessary for performing an evaluation of your qualifications for their employment opportunity or products or services offers. Such information may include, but is not limited to, items such as: your name; username; password; address; email address; telephone number; fax number; date of birth; age; gender; information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services; education level; educational interests; income; credit card; debit card; charge card number; and the like and other information that does not identify you. We may also use your personal information to obtain additional information about you such as your credit score and/or your credit report to improve our service for you. In addition, we may collect certain information regarding the number and type of products and/or services you have responded to and completed.

Cookies 

Cookies are small pieces of data that are sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your hard drive and/or your mobile device. In general, we use cookies and similar technologies to help us better serve you and improve your experience on our Site. As you browse areas of the Site, cookies may be placed on your computer’s hard drive and/or your mobile device which may allow us to collect information, such as your internet protocol address and mobile device identifier. Cookies allow us to track your account so you don’t need to retype the information each time you visit our Site. Cookies also allow us to provide certain services and features to you. You may refuse cookies in your browser, but doing so may result in certain services and features not functioning properly.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads and/or collect certain information when you visit our Site. These advertisers may also serve cookies when you click on advertisements on the Site, or use pixel tags, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect non-personally identifiable aggregated information when users visit the Site in order to provide advertisements on our Site, other sites, and other forms of media about goods and services that may be of interest to you. This common practice is known as “online behavioral advertising” or “interest-based advertising”. To learn more about this practice or to opt-out of this use of your anonymous information, please visit: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. In addition, if you want to prevent a third-party advertiser from collecting data, you may visit each ad network’s web site individually and opt-out. We do not have access to personal information, if any, gathered by advertisers.

Third Party Cookies

Notwithstanding anything else in this policy, we or a data provider we have engaged may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including on your mobile device) to enable you to receive customized ads or content, including through online behavioral advertising. These cookies contain no personally identifiable information. The cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us, e.g., your email address that we may share with a data provider solely in hashed, non-human readable form. To opt-out of these cookies, please go to Contact us

Log Files 

When you visit our Website, we track internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp and number of clicks to analyze trends and administer the Site, track user’s movement in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We use your IP address at times to help identify you as you browse and to gather broad technical and demographic information on who uses the Site.

Web Beacons

We may use standard internet technology, called Web Beacons (also called clear gifs, pixel tags or web bugs) that are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track online movements. Unlike cookies which are stored on the user’s computer, a web beacon is embedded invisibly on a webpage (or email). Web beacons help us better manage content through the service by informing us what content and which campaigns are effective. This allows us and our third-party partners to gauge the effectiveness of marketing campaigns by showing how many emails the recipients have opened or by sending/receiving an anonymous identification number when you travel to a site from an online advertisement. We do not tie clear gifs to personally identifiable information.

How We Use Your Information General:

In general, we may use information we collect about you to: 

Provide the products and services that you have requested;
Perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in our products, services, content, or the products, services, or content offered by third parties;
Communicate with you via email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you either from us or third parties;
Develop and display content and advertisement tailored to your interests on our site and other sites;

  • Allow you to share or publish content on the Site and on third party sites;
  • To allow you to interact with other users of the Site;

  • Verify your eligibility to receive products and/or services;
  • Enforce our Terms of Service;

For example, we may compare and review your personal information for errors, omissions, and accuracy based upon past usage and response; or compare your information against other publicly available files; or validate some of the personal information to verify that the information you submitted has a high probability of being valid information.

Based upon your affirmative consent, as evidenced by your clicking on the applicable “submit” button, acknowledgement box, and/or your registration on a Site (i.e., your submission of the requested information, including your personally identifiable information), we may use the information you provide to attempt to match you with providers of products and services (for example, using your zip code to check for service providers whose service area covers your location) and/or we may forward the information that you provided directly to certain of our third party partners.

Use for Research: We reserve the right to collect information about you and store it in connection with other online or offline information we may possess or obtain about you to create a general user profile. This profile may be created by combining your information with other sources of information such as information obtained from public databases, or from your browsing habits surrounding your visit to this Site.

Email and Telephone Calls: From time to time, we may contact you via e-mail advertising, telephone marketing, direct mail marketing, or other means to inform you of additional opportunities to receive special offers for other services and/or products that we believe may be of interest to you. By providing your contact information when using our service, you are entering into a business relationship with NEXGOAL and are further requesting, and expressly consenting to, being contacted by NEXGOAL via telephone, fax, email, postal mail, or any other means, at any of your contact numbers or addresses, even if you are listed on any Federal, state or other applicable “Do Not Call” list, in order that NEXGOAL may provide the services set forth on the Site or for other purposes reasonably related to your service request and the business of NEXGOAL, including marketing-related emails.

How We Protect Your Privacy

Security Measures 

In order to protect both the personal information and the general information that we receive from you through our website, we have implemented various security measures.  In addition to our security measures, our third-party partners are required to operate in accordance with Federal and state laws and regulations, including regulations relating to CAN-SPAM and rules promulgated by the FTC.
