1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy applies to Nairobi Sports House Limited, a company registered and incorporated in the Republic of Kenya (“Company”, “us” or “we”). It explains how we collect, use and disclose information about you.
This Privacy Policy applies to information which identifies you, or from which you can reasonably be identified, such as your full name ("personal information"). This Policy describes how we handle the personal information we collect when we provide our services. Our services include: content subscription services such as Sports, digital subscription services, advertising, websites, mobile sites, applications (“apps”), and widgets, competitions and customer surveys or any other product or service supplied to you by the Company (collectively, “Company Services”).
This Privacy Policy otherwise applies to information about anyone who interacts with us, including advertisers, subscribers and people who use Company Services (both registered and unregistered users).
- WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect personal information to provide Company Services and for our business operations. If you choose not to provide the information we request from you, we may not be able to provide you with the services you require. We describe the main types of personal information we collect and the main reasons why we collect that information below.
Registration Information is the information you provide to Company when you register for, subscribe to or use a Company Service. This may include information you provide us to:
Registration Information may include, your name, delivery or postal address, email address, mobile phone number, gender or birthday.
You are able to use some Company Services without providing any personal information (for example when browsing our digital products as a casual user) or by providing an alias. We usually tell you when you are able to use Company Services in this way.
Public Information and Posts include comments or content that you post to the online Company Services and the information about you that comes with those posts. This may include your name, user name, comments, likes, tweets, status, profile information and picture(s). Public Information and Posts are available to everyone who views our websites and may be displayed in search results on external search engines, even after you cancel your account with us.
Information from third party Social Media. If you access or log-in to a Company Service through a third party social media service, connect a Company Service to your social media profile, or post publicly about the Company Service on a social media service, we may also include information from that social media service. This may include:
We do not collect your social media profile password. When you access Company Services through your social media profile, or when you connect a Company Service to your social media profile, you authorise us to collect and handle your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Activity Information – cookies and other technologies. When you visit Company's websites (including to access and use Company Services) or otherwise use the Company Services, we may collect information about your visit and your use of the Company Services. For example, in order to connect you to the Company Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device, and browser, which may include your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. If you access the Company Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, geolocation data, or other transactional information from that device.
Information from Other Sources. We may supplement the information we collect about you with information from other sources. This may include information from publicly available sources (such as other published content) and data providers, as well as information from our business partners or related and affiliated companies in Kenya or internationally.
Viewing habits and usage data. When you use a Company Service we collect information about your usage such as preference information, viewing or browsing habits as well as how you locate and watch content.
Information in relation to other persons who deal with us. When you apply for a job or contract with us we may collect information about you to help us decide whether to offer you the job or contract. For example, we may collect information about how to contact you, your education or work history, or other information included in your CV or résumé. We may collect this information from you, or from any recruitment consultant, your previous employers, or other referees. This Privacy Policy does not apply to our collection, use and disclosure of information:

Third Parties. We may collect your personal information from third parties where you have agreed with them that your information may be disclosed.
- HOW DO WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION?
We use the information we collect about you to provide Company Services to you. As part of our service to you we may use your personal information:
When we collect your information, we may explain that we will use and disclose your information in other ways. For example, if you win a competition, we may disclose your information to relevant regulatory authorities and competition partners and publish your details in accordance with the competition terms.
We may also remove certain information or alter the information we collect about you so you can no longer be identified from that information. We do this so that we can use it or disclose it to third parties for other purposes.
We use the information we collect about you for the following additional purposes:
To improve our Company Services. By tracking your use of the site and the Company Services, and the delivery of our content to you, we are able to improve our Company Services.
Research and data analysis. We may also use your information for research and data analysis to improve Company Services. We may do this research or engage a service provider to do this.
To allow service and content providers to assist us in providing and managing the Company Services. We may make your information available to certain third party service and content providers who help us manage or provide the Company Services or provide Company with related services. This might include providers of cloud services, website hosting service providers, debt collection service providers and direct marketing service providers. Our agreements with these third party providers require them not to use your information except for the purpose for which your information was provided. We also require them to comply with relevant privacy laws.
To allow social sharing functionality. If you log in with or connect a social media profile with your Company Services account, we may share your personal information (including your user name, picture, tweets, likes and posts) with other Company Services users and your friends or followers linked to your social media profile. We may also share the same information with the social media service provider.
By logging in with or connecting your Company Services account with a social media profile, you authorise us to share your personal information with the social media service provider, other users and your friends or followers. You understand that the social media service provider may handle this information in accordance with its own privacy policy. If you do not want your personal information shared in this way, please do not connect your social media profile with your Company Services account and do not participate in social sharing on Company Services.
To interact with you on social media platforms. If you post publicly about a Company Service on a social media service, we may use your personal information to identify you as a user of a Company Service and interact with you in relation to the content of the post (e.g. service issue with a Company Service, feedback on a Company Service, etc.). You may decline to interact with us in this fashion at any time.
To provide co-branded services, features, offers and promotions. We may offer co-branded services, competitions or other promotions together with a third party (“Promotions”). When this happens, we may share the information you submit in connection with the Promotion with the third party, or with our service providers who assist us to host the Promotion. The third party’s use of your information will be governed by their own privacy policy. We or the third party will obtain your consent to share your personal information with the third party. If you do not provide this consent, you may not be able to access that Promotion.
To deliver relevant advertisements and content. Company and our advertisers may use the information we collect about you to provide you with relevant advertisements and content when you use Company Services. We may also use your personal information so that relevant advertising can be provided to you when you use services or visit websites of other organisations.
In Section 8 below, we provide information about how to choose what advertisements you see when using the Company Services.
To develop consumer insights and enhance existing consumer relationships
We may combine information that we hold about you with information about you that we collect from other trusted businesses with whom you also have a relationship or from public sources and we may associate your browser and/or device with other browsers or devices you use. We may also share information we hold about you with those trusted businesses so that they can do the same thing.
We and those trusted businesses do this in order to enable the development of consumer insights about you so that each of us can serve you better. This includes being able to better understand your preferences and interests, personalise your experience, enhance the products and services you receive, and to tell you about products and services.
Where those insights are provided to others for their own marketing purposes, such insights do not contain any information that identifies you. We may also use third party service providers to undertake the process of creating these consumer insights.
To contact you. From time to time, we may send you promotional materials, notifications or other information which we think may interest you. For example, we may send you an invitation to participate in various activities (such as customer surveys) or special offers of ours and our partners.
To share with our related companies. Company may share your information with our related companies located in Kenya. If we share your information with our related companies, they can use your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, if you access or use a service provided by one of our related companies, you should consider the privacy policy of that company, as it may be different to this Privacy Policy.
To share with business partners. Company may share your information with business partners so they can send you marketing communications. This will only happen if you have expressly agreed to this.
To protect the rights of Company and others. We may share your information with other third parties where we are lawfully entitled to do so. This includes when we have a reasonable basis to believe that sharing your information is necessary to:
To complete a merger or sale of assets. If Company sells all or part of its business or assets, we may disclose your information to the party or parties involved in the sale transaction. We may also do this if Company is involved in a merger or transfer of all or a material part of its business. We may disclose your information prior to the sale, transfer or merger so that the party or parties involved can consider the transaction and complete any due diligence.
- ACCOUNT SHARING & PROFILES
The Company Services may allow you to create multiple profiles on your account. If you allow others to access your account, they will be able to see your profile(s), which may include (and is not limited to) preferences, personal information (including phone number and email address) and watched content (by profile).
Everyone who has access to your account can access each of the profiles that are created. This means all profiles are able to be used, edited and deleted by anyone who has access to your account. You should explain this to others with access to your account, and if you do not wish them to use or change your profile, be sure to let them know.
- HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We use reasonable measures to safeguard the personal information we hold about you from loss, theft and unauthorised use, disclosure or modification, including:
