General Privacy Policy
Last Updated and Effective Date – November 2, 2023
Premier Lacrosse League, Inc. (“PLL”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how the Premier Lacrosse League, Inc., and its businesses, affiliates, and subsidiaries, including, without limitation, its Lacrosse Clubs, The Lacrosse Network, and PLL Assists (collectively, the “PLL,” “we,” “our,” “us”) collect, use, disclose, sell, and share consumer information, both online and offline, including in operating our websites, our mobile, and other apps, and any other online services that display or provide an authorized link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).
The official sites of the Lacrosse Clubs of the Premier Lacrosse League are part of the premierlacrosseleague.com website (“Lacrosse Club Services”). This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, and sharing of information by the PLL and the Lacrosse Clubs. We follow this privacy policy in accordance with applicable law in the places where we operate. We may provide additional privacy notices specific to certain products, practices, or regions. Those terms are to be read in conjunction with this policy.
Please keep in mind that when you provide information to us on a third-party site or platform, the information you provide may be separately collected by the third-party site or platform. This privacy policy covers the information we collect, and the information the third-party site or platform collects is subject to the third-party site or platform’s privacy practices. Privacy choices you have made on the third-party site or platform will not apply to our use of the information we have collected directly through our applications. Please also note that our sites and applications may contain links to other sites not owned or controlled by us, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our sites or applications and to read the privacy policies of other sites that may collect your personal information.
By using our Services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please Contact Us using the subject line “Privacy.”

How We Collect Your Information
- Information You Provide Directly
We receive the information you choose to provide when using our Services. We collect the information you provide while you interact with us or our Services, such as when you register accounts on our Website, purchase tickets or other products and services, typeform, request information from us, sign up to receive electronic or other marketing communications, sign up to learn more about our upcoming events, enter a contest or sweepstakes, communicate with customer service, or complete a questionnaire.
- Cookies, Pixels, Web Beacons, and Other Technologies
Our Services use online technologies called “cookies” and “web beacons,” as well as other local storage technologies. The information we collect may automatically be combined with the information you provide to personalize content and advertising based on your interests.
“Cookies” are text files placed in your device’s browser and can be used to help recognize your browser across different web pages, websites, and browsing sessions. Your browser or device may offer settings related to cookies. For example, you may be able to configure your browser not to accept cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. For more information about whether these settings are available, what they do, and how they work, visit your browser or device’s help material. If you decide not to accept cookies from us, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features of the Services.
Cookies are stored on your device or in “local storage.” We also use other types of local storage technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (sometimes called “Flash cookies”), in connection with our Services. These technologies are similar to cookies in that they are stored on your device and can be used to maintain information about your activities and preferences.
However, these other local storage technologies may use parts of your device other than your browser, which means you may not be able to control their use using the browser tools and settings you use to control browser cookies. Please visit the Adobe Flash Player website for more information about managing Flash cookies. Your browser’s privacy controls may enable you to manage other types of local storage.
Our Services may use cookies or other local storage technologies in combination with additional information about you to enhance and personalize your experience on our Services (or elsewhere online), including:
- to help authenticate you when you use our Services;
- to remember your preferences and registration information;
- to present and help measure and research the effectiveness of our Service, advertisements, and email communications (by determining which emails you open and act upon); and
- to customize the content and advertisements provided to you through our Services and on other websites and services you visit.
We may permit the operation of retargeting consumer marketing programs, including also partnering with third parties that may place a unique cookie on your browser (e.g. using pixels) to serve you ads based on your web browsing activity, purchases, interests and/or other information. These third parties may also use these types of technologies to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile phone or a laptop, and serve you ads on websites you visit and applications you use. We may provide anonymous consumer information and/or consumer email addresses to such third party partners as part of these programs. To learn more about your opt-out choices, please visit the Network Advertising Initiatives consumer opt-out page, located at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp .
Web beacons are small pieces of code placed on Web pages, videos, and in emails that can communicate information about your browser and device to a server. Beacons can be used, among other things, to count the users who visit a Web page or read an email or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a user viewing a Web page or email.
Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals to the websites and other online services with which the browser communicates. No standard governs what, if anything, websites and online services should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a response standard is established, we may revisit our policy on responding to these signals.
- Information from Third-Party Sources.
We may receive information about you from third-party sources such as:
- Business partners. We may receive additional information about you from our business partners.
- Publicly or commercially available sources. We may receive information about you that is publicly or commercially available, and we may combine that with the information we have collected or received about you in other ways.
- Social networking services. We receive information about you when you choose to connect with social networking services while using our Services.
- Other Third Party Sources. The PLL may also receive other information from Service Providers in connection with the operation of our Services, including when you purchase our tickets or take our surveys through a third-party vendor. We may also receive information from Service Providers through marketing and demographic studies that we use to supplement Personal Information provided directly by you.
How We Use the Information We Collect
We use the information we collect and receive for the following purposes:
- For the Purpose Collected: If you provide Personal Information for a certain reason, we will use it in connection with the reason it was provided. For example, if you make an online purchase, we will use your credit card information to fulfill and process your purchases. If you register or open an account on the Services, the Personal Information you provide may be used to maintain your account, provide you access to certain features of our Services, or offer you the benefits and privileges that typically come along with registration. These benefits may include access to and use of exclusive or personalized content or activities, participation in special events and promotions, and delivery of merchandise. As part of these activities, we may use your Personal Information to determine your eligibility, notify you whether you are a winner, and/or fulfill and deliver prizes and orders.

- Create accounts;

- Send you electronically and other marketing communications that may be tailored to your preferences and interests;
- Administer your participation in our contests, sweepstakes, fantasy or interactive games, or other promotions;
- Notify you about updates to our Services or send other communications that are relevant to your use of our Services; and
- To otherwise understand your needs and preferences and personalize your experience.
- To improve our operation and Services. We also use the information we collect and receive to provide content you may find relevant and interesting and to maintain and upgrade our operations and our Services. For example, we may use this information to:
- Solicit input and feedback about our Services;

By accessing and using our Services, you agree that we may use your submitted and obtained Personal Information and Device Identifiable Information for such purposes and to maintain the integrity and security of the Services.
- Enforcement and Legal Obligations: PLL may use your Personal Information to enforce our Terms of Service or investigate and prevent activities that may violate our policies or be illegal and to respond to legal proceedings and obligations.
We also may use the information we collect and receive for other purposes that may be described to you at the point of collection or for which you provide your consent.
SMS Marketing
We value your privacy and the information you consent to share in relation to our SMS marketing service. We use this information to send you text notifications (including abandoned cart / checkout reminders), text marketing offers, and transactional texts, including requests for reviews from us. Opt-in data and consent for text messaging will not be shared with any third parties except for messaging partners, for the purpose of enabling and operating our text messaging program.
Our website uses cookies to keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, including when you have abandoned your checkout. This information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.
Third Parties That Provide Content, Advertising, or Functionality On Our Services
Some of the content, advertising, and functionality on our Services may be provided by third parties that are not affiliated with us. These third parties may set and access tracking technologies on your computer, such as cookies, web beacons, and other technologies. Such third parties include, for example:
- Content providers, which may operate contests, sweepstakes, fantasy or interactive games, or public forums on our Services;
- Retail and other companies (such as those that operate our Shop and those that operate other Services), which may process transactions, provide customer service, and perform other related functions;
- Advertising providers, which help us and our advertisers provide ads (on our Services or elsewhere online) that may be tailored to users’ interests and understand users’ response to those ads;
- Audience-measurement companies, which help us measure the overall usage of our Services and compare that usage to other online services;
- Social networking services (such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+), which enable you to log in to certain of our Services, comment on content available on our Services, and share things you find on our Services with your social network; and

This information may be collected over time and combined with information collected on different websites and online services, including, for example, to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off our websites. Social networking services may be able to collect information about you, even if you do not click on or interact with their content on our Services or have an account with the social networking service. Those companies’ use of cookies, and the information collected, are governed by those companies’ privacy policies, not ours. Please contact those websites directly if you have any questions about their privacy policies.
Third Party Links
Our Services may contain links to other sites that we do not own or operate. Also, links to our Services may be featured on third-party services we advertise. We will only provide your personal information to these third parties as described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise with your consent. We provide links to third party services as a convenience to our users. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked services. The linked services should have separate and independent privacy statements, notices, and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully. We do not have any control over such services, and therefore we take no responsibility and assume no liability for the manner in which the entities that operate such linked services may collect, use, disclose, secure, or otherwise treat your information.

Children’s Privacy
Although there are PLL fans of all ages, the Services are not directed at or designed to attract children under the age of 13, and our Services do not knowingly collect, use, disclose or sell personal data or personally identifiable information from any person we have actual knowledge is under the age of 13, or as otherwise defined by local law except as permitted by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) or other applicable local law. The Services are only to be used by people 13 years old and over, and if you are under the age of 18, you may only use the Services with the permission of, and supervision of, your parent or legal guardian. By using the Services, you confirm that you are over the relevant age specified above. In addition, if you are under the relevant age specified above, you confirm that you possess the applicable legal parental or guardian consent for accessing or using the Services and are fully able and competent to enter into, abide by and comply with the Terms.
We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s online behavior, put parental control tools in place, and teach children not to provide their personal data through the Services without parental consent. For certain activities in which children are allowed to participate (e.g., PLL Academy), any request for personal data (such as registration data) is directed to the parent or legal guardian. Please see our Minor Consent Form to approve or consent to any submissions if applicable.
If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal data to us without parental consent, please contact us at legal@premierlacrosseleague.com. If we become aware that personal information has been collected on the Services from a person under the age of 13, we will delete this information. Further, any user found to be falsely claiming to be an age that they are not (either older or younger than their real age) if disclosed, may be banned from further participation, and their activity may be reported to their ISP or a relevant law authority, who may take further action at their discretion if they deem it appropriate.
We comply with the age limits applicable in each Member State for children in jurisdictions within the EU. In these instances, the references above to the age of 13 will be deemed to be references to the age limits applicable in each Member State. Where this Policy refers to consent, this will require the consent of a parent or legal guardian in relation to any person under the age limits applicable in each Member State.
Data Security, Integrity and Retention
The security, integrity, and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. We have adopted physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to help protect against theft, loss, misuse, and unauthorized access to or disclosure of the information we collect and receive. We regularly review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. It is important to remember that no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We recommend that you help us keep your data safe by taking reasonable steps, such as keeping your passwords private and not disclosing sensitive personal data in places that can be accessed publicly. We will retain your personal information for the length of time needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
International Transfers of Personal Information
The PLL’s headquarters is in the United States, and regardless of where you use our Services or otherwise provide information to us, your information may be transferred to, maintained, and processed by the PLL, its affiliates, and our operational partners and service providers in the United States. Please note that U.S. privacy laws, regulations, and standards may not be equivalent to the laws in your country of residence, and such information may be subject to lawful access by U.S. courts, law enforcement, and governmental authorities. By using our Services or by providing us with your information, you consent to this collection, transfer, storage, and processing of information in and out of the United States.
To the extent our activities are subject to international data protection laws that specify limited legal grounds to process your information, the legal bases for our processing activities are to perform our contract(s) with you; to meet our legal obligations; and for our legitimate business purposes, including to improve our operation and Services, detect and prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms of Service. We rely on your consent to send you direct marketing messages about our products, services, and promotions and to deliver targeted advertisements to you, both on and off the Services. We will keep your personal information only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Please see the Your Controls And Choices section for more information on how to withdraw your consent at any time. In addition, you may also have rights to access, rectification, deletion/erasure, objection, restriction of processing, and/or portability. You may lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority if you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes applicable law.
