Privacy Policy
June 1, 2007
At Score Out we value "The Golden Rule", especially for privacy, and do our best to treat
others as we would like to be treated. Please contact us if
you have any questions about this Privacy Policy.
Because it is not yet commonplace, we feel it is important to remind you that
Score Out uses location information to provide you with our services.
This means we may have the time you were at a specific location stored on our servers. As
described below, we treat that information with great respect.
This Policy applies to all of the services owned or operated by Score Out (the "Score Out
Services"). This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Score Out
Terms and Conditions.
This Policy may be revised periodically without further notice to you and this will
be reflected by the date of the document. Please revisit this page to stay aware of any changes.
Your continued use of the Score Out Services constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy
and any future revisions.

warrant the security of any information that Score Out receives on your behalf to operate the
services or that you transmit to Score Out and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot
guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach
of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
If Score Out learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you
electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. Score Out may post a notice
on the Score Out Services if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have

right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from
our Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely
event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights
generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred,
