Hitout Sports is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection and privacy laws. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is designed to help you to understand what kind of information we collect in connection with our products and services and how we process and use such information. Throughout this Policy, the term “personal data” means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (i.e. a natural person).
“Hitout Sports” refers to Hitout Sports Corporation, including all its group companies, affiliates, and subsidiaries from time to time (also referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”). Brands of Hitout Sports are listed at Hitout Sports. Your personal data may be used in accordance with this Policy by and for one or more Hitout Sports group companies, which will be regarded, individually or jointly, as data controllers in respect of such data.

We typically provide additional privacy-related terms in connection with a particular Hitout Sports product or service. Such product or service-specific terms prevail over this Policy to the extent of any conflict. Our products or services may also contain links to other companies’ websites and other third-party services that have privacy policies of their own. We recommend that you carefully read the privacy policies of such services. Hitout Sports is not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of any such third-party services.
Further information about our data practices in our services may be provided on our website and or in our mobile application.
Where a consent from you to the processing of personal data described in this Policy is required under the applicable law, such consent will be obtained by an appropriate mechanism such as ticking a box stating your consent, choosing technical settings for a service or website, or other statement or conduct clearly indicating your acceptance to the processing, depending on the product, website, service or application you are using. If you do not provide data required for the particular service or website feature you are intending to use or for transactions that you are trying to complete, such service or website feature may not be available, or transactions may not be completed without the required data.
