We may collect several types of information from and about users of our Website and our clubs, which may include:

  • Information you provide by filling out forms on our Website. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use our Website, subscribing to our services, posting material or public comments, or requesting further services, and includes information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, home and/or postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, gender, date of birth, user ID, password, and/or UFC Gym membership number. This information is personally identifiable information (“PII”) and it allows us to contact you and distinguish you from other users, among other things.
  • You may also provide information when you carry out transactions through our Website. For example, if you buy products and/or services through our Website we gather information such as what you are purchasing, your method of payment, and your billing and shipping information. We will use this information to complete the transaction, to provide you with an order history and to facilitate future orders. This information may also be used for aggregate reporting (which summarizes the data in a report but does not contain your PII).
  • Device and application data: we collect data about the devices and applications used when connecting to/or accessing our Website, including but not limited to, IP address and browser type. We can usually infer geographic data based on a subscriber’s IP address. If you visit our Sites from an external source (like another website or via email link), we might record information about the source that referred you to us.
  • Information from cookies and web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs): we use third party tracking services such as Google Analytics that use cookies and web beacons to collect aggregated and anonymized data about visitors to our Sites.
