WHY WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION

Some information processing is required for our anti-fraud screening or to verify our customers’ identities. In some jurisdictions, such screening and/or verification is not a legal requirement, whilst in others it is.

Your personal information will be processed as follows: if it is necessary on reasonable request by a law enforcement or regulatory authority, body or agency; to enforce or apply IMG Arena’s Terms of Use and other agreements; in an emergency; to protect the rights, property or safety of Endeavor’s group of companies, customers, clients and others; or in the defense of legal claims. We will not delete personal information if relevant to an investigation or a dispute or until applicable law allows for it to be deleted. It will continue to be stored until those issues are fully resolved and it can be lawfully deleted.

The information we provide them, including your information, will only be provided in connection with the discharge of their functions for us. Under our contracts with them, they would be prohibited from using or disclosing the information for their own purposes.

Your personal information will be transferred to other third-party organisations in certain scenarios if we are:

  • for purposes of disaster recovery; and
