Speedway Motorsports Privacy Policy
Information Collection and Use
Speedway Motorsports is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.
We will not sell, share, or rent personally identifiable information to others
information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement
or as required by law or by a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal
process. Speedway Motorsports collects information from our users at several
different points on our website. We do not knowingly collect personal information
from children under the age of 13. Should we ever do so, we will comply with
the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.
Registration
In order to use portions of this website, a user must first complete the registration
form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information
(such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user
about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is
optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level
and gender), and unique identifiers (such as social security number), but encouraged
so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. There will be any
option in any registration area to not be included in sponsor mailings.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would
not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our
site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site (with limitations
where cookies are required). Some of our business partners might use cookies
on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control
over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are
not on their own linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual,
unless the individual provided consent during registration of services. We partner
with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these
services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary
for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed
to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing
these services (this is monitored by Speedway Motorsports, Inc.).
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we at Speedway
Motorsports are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address),
and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information
will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will
be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this
site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users
submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both
online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked,
as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in
our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date
on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new
policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance
we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information
is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information
on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the site to an individual's
preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits of users with
similar information from our partners.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established
members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special
deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present
the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice
and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not
able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information
about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code),
or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way
to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can
usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask
for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so
users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep
their email address off of our lists. Users who no longer wish to receive our
newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving
these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email
or email us at web@lvms.com. Please note that by removing your name from the
newsletter database, you may be ineligible for certain promotions and other offers.
