This policy explains how Insight Sports Ltd. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, "ISL") will treat your personal and non-personal information collected in connection with your activities on or related to Gretzky.com . Your access or use of Gretzky.com indicates your understanding of, and agreement to be bound by, this policy and the Gretzky.com website Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy please do not use Gretzky.com.
Please note that at its discretion, ISL reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy.

Your privacy and the integrity of any information you provide are important to us. ISL has developed the following policy pursuant to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, 2000 c.5. (the "Privacy Act").
In the course of operating Gretzky.com, ISL may collect both Non-Personal Information and Personal Information about its users.
"Non-Personal Information" is information of an anonymous nature, including but not limited to your Internet Protocol Address ("IP Address"), the type and version of browser or operating system you may be using, and the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information compiled by ISL, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors, average time spent on Gretzky.com and ads clicked through, is also considered Non-Personal Information.
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating Gretzky.com. For example, our web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit Gretzky.com. Non-Personal Information is used by ISL as described below.
Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.
During normal website usage, it is possible to use Gretzky.com without communicating any personal information. However, to make use of certain features on our sites, such as contests, quizzes, promotions, personalized services, subscriptions or newsletters, users may be asked to register with Gretzky.com. As part of this voluntary registration, Gretzky.com may request contact information and other data required for operating these services.
"Personal Information" is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, birth date and gender. ISL can only collect Personal Information from you if you voluntarily provide it. By sending us a comment or suggestion, by entering any available chatroom or bulletin board, or by entering a contest that is posted on Gretzky.com, you will be consenting to the collection, use and distribution of your Personal Information by ISL for the purposes set out below. You are under no obligation to provide ISL with Personal Information and can access and enjoy many parts of Gretzky.com without providing any Personal Information. Among other things, the following is a representative list of reasons ISL may ask for your Personal Information:
ISL may receive Personal Information from its business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that they have obtained your consent to the disclosure of your Personal Information. ISL will not use this information except for the purposes that you have consented to with ISL’s business partners or other third parties who collected the information. ISL can rely on the representations of its business partners and other third parties that the proper consents were obtained when the Personal Information was collected.
ISL will only use Personal Information for the purposes stated at the time of collection and pursuant to the Privacy Act, or as otherwise set out in this section:
Your Personal Information will not be sold or rented to anyone.
ISL will only disclose your Personal Information to third parties:
Non-Personal Information is used generally by ISL to monitor and improve the operation of Gretzky.com, to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our users, to measure user demographics and interests regarding specific Gretzky.com services, to describe our services to third parties such as prospective business partners and advertisers and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. No Personal Information will be disclosed during these activities.
ISL also may share this information with our affiliates, suppliers, sponsors and advertisers. ISL may use Non-Personal Information to inform our sponsors and advertisers as to the performance of a particular sponsorship (such as a contest) or advertisement. In such case ISL may disclose to those third-party sponsors and advertisers the overall aggregate demographics available regarding, for example who participated in a contest or who saw and "clicked" on an advertisement. No Personal Information will be disclosed to these sponsors and advertisers as part of this process; only information in an anonymous, aggregate form will be disclosed.
