We are committed to maintaining your trust, and we want you to understand when and with whom we may share the Personal Information we collect.
Service Providers: We may share Personal Information with service providers that perform certain functions on our behalf (such as to host Chiefs Flag, fulfill orders, provide products and services, manage databases, perform analyses, provide customer service, or send communications for us).
Subsidiaries and Affiliates: We may share Personal Information with all members of the "NFL Family", including, without limitation, NFL Properties LLC, NFL International LLC, NFL Enterprises LLC, NFL Ventures, L.P., and NFL Ventures, Inc.
Third-Party Ad Serving and Audience and Traffic Measurement Chiefs Flag: We may allow third parties, such as our sponsors, to serve advertisements on Chiefs Flag. These third parties may set their own cookies or similar web technologies to collect information about users' online activities over time and across different websites.
Select Business Partners: In addition to the categories of third parties identified above, with your permission, we may share Personal Information with select business partners so that they can provide you with special offers, promotional materials, and other materials that may be of interest to you. For example, you may be presented with an opportunity to have certain Personal Information shared with our third party business partners when you enter a contest or sweepstakes or elect to receive marketing offers or other information. If you do not elect to have Personal Information shared, it will not be shared with such third parties. We take measures to help ensure that our partners protect the confidentiality, integrity, and security of any Personal Information we share with them. However, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of our business partners, which may use Personal Information for their own purposes.
Business Transfer: If we sell all or part of our business, or make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, a business reorganization, or similar event, we may transfer Personal Information as part of such transaction. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you via email and/or prominent notice on Chiefs Flag of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding Personal Information.
Administrative or Legal Process: We may disclose Personal Information to third parties in order to protect the legal rights, safety, and security of our organization, our corporate affiliates, subsidiaries, business partners, and the users of Chiefs Flag; enforce our Terms of Use; respond to and resolve claims or complaints; prevent fraud or for risk management purposes; and comply with or respond to law enforcement or legal process or a request for cooperation by a government or other entity, whether or not legally required.
Interactive Features: We may share Personal Information with third parties when you post Personal Information to a user profile or a public area of Chiefs Flag, such as a chat room, forum, blog, or other community tool. If you post to these interactive features, it will be publicly available and you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties. We cannot ensure that parties who have access to such Personal Information will respect your privacy. Please exercise caution when using these features. To request removal of Personal Information from our community forum, contact us at the contact information below. In some cases, we may not be able to remove Personal Information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

For example, if you win a contest or sweepstakes, we may ask your permission to publicly post certain Personal Information on Chiefs Flag identifying you as the winner.
Aggregate Information: We may share aggregate information, such as demographic and usage statistics, with advertisers, sponsors or other organizations.
6. Social Networking Chiefs Flag.
We have worked with certain third-party social media providers to offer you their social networking websites through Chiefs Flag. For example, you can use third-party social networking websites, including but not limited to Facebook, Google+, and others to share information about your experience on Chiefs Flag with your friends and followers on those social networking websites. These social networking websites may be able to collect information about you, including your activity on Chiefs Flag. These third-party social networking websites also may notify your friends, both on Chiefs Flag and on the social networking website themselves, that you are a user of Chiefs Flag or about your use of Chiefs Flag, in accordance with applicable law and their own privacy policies. If you choose to access or make use of third-party social networking websites, we may receive information about you that you have made available to those social networking websites, including information about your contacts on those social networking websites.
You also may be able to link an account from a social networking service (e.g., Facebook, Google+, Yahoo!) to an account through Chiefs Flag. This may allow you to use your credentials from the other site or service to sign in to certain features on Chiefs Flag. If you link your account from a third-party site or service, we may collect information from those third-party accounts, and any information that we collect will be governed by this Privacy Policy.
Chiefs Flag may provide Social Media Features ("Features"), such as the Facebook Like button, and widgets such as the "Share" button or interactive mini-programs that run on Chiefs Flag ("Widgets"). These Features and Widgets may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on Chiefs Flag, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature or Widget to function properly. Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on Chiefs Flag. Your interactions with these Features and Widgets are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
From time to time, we provide a limited set of information to social networking websites who help us develop and aggregate information on our customers' demographics, which is then used to display advertisements to other individuals likely to have similar interests. We and such social networking websites take steps to minimize the use of any Personal Information (if Personal Information is needed at all), including, where possible, transferring a "hashed" set of data that can only be used to correlate to other data that the social networking website already has.[KA5]
7. Links To Other Web Sites.
Chiefs Flag may contain links to other websites or online services that are operated and maintained by third parties and that are not under the control of or maintained by us. SUCH LINKS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN ENDORSEMENT BY US OF THOSE OTHER WEBSITES, THE CONTENT DISPLAYED THEREIN, OR THE PERSONS OR ENTITIES ASSOCIATED THEREWITH. THIS PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS THIRD-PARTY CONTENT. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW THE PRIVACY POLICIES OF THESE THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES OR SERVICES VERY CAREFULLY.
8. Security.
We have adopted security procedures to help protect against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access to the Personal Information you provide to us. While we strive to protect Personal Information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any Personal Information you disclose or transmit to Chiefs Flag and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of Personal Information.
9. Children's Privacy.
Chiefs Flag do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If we are made aware we have collected Personal Information from a child under 13 years old in a manner that is inconsistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), we will delete this Personal Information as soon as possible. IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, DO NOT USE CHIEFS FLAG.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy.
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time. You can see when this Privacy Policy was last updated by reviewing the "Effective" legend on the top of this page. Your continued use of Chiefs Flag after any modification to the Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of the new terms. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ANY CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY WILL APPLY IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING TO CHIEFS FLAG.

12. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals.
In some cases, as discussed in Section 3 of this Privacy Policy, certain third parties may be able to collect information about a user's online activities over time and across different websites when he or she uses Chiefs Flag. To communicate user preferences about such tracking, some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Therefore, we currently do not take action in response to these signals.
13. Individuals Located in California[KA8] .
This section provides additional information to California residents whose personal information is processed by us pursuant to California law such as the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"). If you are not a California resident, this section does not apply to you.

We do not, and will not without your consent, "sell" personal information for purposes of the CCPA.

During the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed each of the above-listed categories of personal information for such business purposes. In addition, your information may be accessible to third parties with whom you interact or direct us to share your information through Chiefs Flag.
CCPA Rights: The CCPA allows California residents to request that a business that collects consumers' personal information give consumers access, upon a verifiable consumer request, in a portable and (if technically feasible) readily usable form, to the specific pieces and categories of personal information that the business has collected about the consumer, the categories of sources for that information, the business or commercial purposes for collecting the information, and the categories of third parties with which the information was shared. California residents also have the right to submit a request for deletion of personal information under certain circumstances, although there may be legal or other reasons that the NFL must retain your information consistent with California law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights and choices, although some of the functionality and features available to you may change or no longer be available to you. Any differences in the services are related to the value provided.
Please submit your request by visiting the Chiefs CCPA Web Portal or by calling (816) 920-4237. Please indicate in the request which right(s) you are exercising and provide us with an e-mail address or mailing address to which we can direct our response. Once we receive your request, we may verify it by requesting information sufficient to confirm your identity.
If you would like to use an authorized agent registered with the California Secretary of State to exercise your rights, your agent should indicate in the request that he or she is acting on your behalf. We may request evidence that you have provided such agent with power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf.
We reserve the right to deny requests in certain circumstances, such as where we have a reasonable belief that the request is fraudulent or where your identity cannot be confirmed.
Shine the Light: California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to ConsumerPrivacy@chiefs.com or write us at The University of Kansas Hospital Training Complex, ATTN: CA Privacy Rights, 1 Arrowhead Drive, Kansas City, MO 64129.
