Information collected automatically

We use tools and technologies like cookies, web beacons, and web server logs to collect information automatically on the Site. This information may include IP addresses, device identifiers, browser characteristics, operating system details, internet service provider details, language preferences, and details about your use of the Site (referring URLs, time and length of visits, and pages viewed).

"Cookies" are small data files stored by your web browser on your device. Cookies may allow a website to recognize a user's device, record user preferences, track the pages a user clicks on while visiting the website, and identify the website visited immediately beforehand. Most web browsers accept cookies by default, but you may be able to adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Blocking cookies may affect the availability and functionality of this Site and other websites, and may invalidate opt-outs that use cookies to recognize devices that have opted out.

We may combine certain automatically collected information with other information we obtain about you, including data we obtain from third parties.

Your web browser may have settings that allow you to transmit a "Do Not Track" signal when you visit websites or use online services. Like many websites, the Site is not designed to respond to "Do Not Track" signals received from browsers.

Information collected by other parties

We use third-party platforms to operate the Site and the tournament, and those platforms may share with us the information you submit to them. These include our e-commerce and ticketing providers, registration and waiver form providers, payment processors, and email service providers. When you submit information to another party, you are subject to that party's terms of use and privacy policy, for which we are not responsible.

How We Use Personal Information

We may use your personal information to:

  • Process and confirm your registration, entry, or purchase
  • Issue, collect, and retain participant waivers and releases
  • Verify eligibility for the tournament and for specific divisions
  • Contact you about schedule, rules, logistics, weather, safety, and results

  • Compile aggregate, de-identified information about the event and the fishery for conservation partners and research purposes

Results, Photography, and Media

The Schoolie Tournament is a public event. We publish participant names, team names, placement, and catch results on the Site, on social media, in newsletters, and in event materials.

We and our authorized photographers, videographers, and media partners photograph and record the tournament, the captains' meeting, the awards celebration, and related activities. By participating in or attending these events, you acknowledge that you may be photographed or recorded and that such images, footage, and audio may be used by us and our partners for editorial, promotional, and commercial purposes without further notice or compensation, as further described in the participant waiver and release.

Sharing of Personal Information

We may share your personal information with vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf (including e-commerce, ticketing, registration, payment processing, email delivery, and file storage providers), and with our affiliates and business partners.

Sponsors and promotional partners. We do not sell or share participant contact information with event sponsors or promotional partners. We may provide sponsors with aggregate, de-identified information about the event, such as participant counts and general audience characteristics, and with the information necessary to fulfill a prize or sweepstakes award to a winner who has agreed to accept it.

In the event of a business transaction, such as if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including further to a merger, reorganization, liquidation, or any other business transaction, including negotiations of such a transaction), we reserve the right to disclose any information we obtain through the Site or through the tournament.

In addition, we may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to:

  • Comply with legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order
  • Protect our rights and property
  • Investigate reports of fraud or misuse
  • Protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site
  • Respond to emergencies, including when we believe someone's physical safety is at risk

Analytics and Advertising

We and our vendors may use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to collect or receive information about your internet usage, including your use of this Site, and use that information for interest-based advertising and to monitor and analyze trends on the Site. We and our vendors may use first-party and third-party cookies or other identifiers to deliver advertisements, create a profile of you, measure your interests, detect your demographics, detect your location, and personalize content.

We may use third-party technology and vendors such as Google, Meta, Klaviyo, Evey Events, and others in connection with your activity on the Site to help us understand and analyze how visitors use the Site and to serve ads on our behalf across the internet. These technology companies and advertisers may use, store, or access cookies and other tracking technologies to collect or receive information from the Site and elsewhere on the internet.

You may be able to opt out of certain interest-based advertising using the settings on your browser or mobile device.

Social Features

The Site may permit you to interact with social media platforms operated by unaffiliated parties, for example to share content from the Site on those platforms ("Social Features"). If you choose to share content or post information using Social Features, that information may be publicly displayed, and the party operating the other platform may receive certain information about you and your use of the Site. Similarly, if you interact with us through Social Features, we may have access to information about you from that platform. If you mention or comment about the Schoolie Tournament in a post on another platform, that platform may allow us to republish your post on our Site or channels. You should review the terms, policies, and settings of these other platforms to learn more about their data practices and adjust your settings.

Sweepstakes, Contests, and Similar Promotions

We may operate sweepstakes, contests, raffles, and similar promotions (each, a "Promotion"), some of which are jointly sponsored or offered by third parties and may require submitting personal information. If you choose to participate in a Promotion, your personal information may be disclosed to third parties as described in the terms applicable to that Promotion. Where the terms applicable to a particular Promotion conflict with this Privacy Policy, the terms applicable to the Promotion control.

Minors

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site.

Participants under the age of 18 may compete in the Schoolie Tournament when registered by a parent or legal guardian who completes and signs the applicable minor waiver and release. Where a participant is under 18, we collect that participant's information from, and with the consent of, the registering parent or legal guardian, and we use it only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. A parent or legal guardian may contact us at the address below to review, correct, or request deletion of a minor participant's information.

Information for Users Outside the United States

Driftline is based in the United States. Personal information submitted to the Site will be transferred to a server in the United States and processed by staff operating in the United States. By submitting personal information through the Site, you consent to this transfer, processing, and storage. The data protection laws that apply to your personal information in the United States may differ from the laws in your country of residence.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the internet and online digital storage are not completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of information collected through the Site.
