Collection of Your Personal Information
Southern Tier Athletics collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address and telephone number and financial information such as your credit card number.

This information is used by Southern Tier Athletics for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Southern Tier Athletics web site. We use a third-party tracking service called Web-Stats that uses cookies and web beacons to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site such as the referring web site, IP address, keywords you've entered, web browser information, operating system information, and page views to track our web site's usage.
Southern Tier Athletics encourages you to review the privacy statements of web sites you choose to link to from Southern Tier Athletics so that you can understand how those web sites collect, use and share your information. Southern Tier Athletics is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on web sites outside of the Southern Tier Athletics web site.

Use of Cookies
The Southern Tier Athletics web site use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Southern Tier Athletics pages, or register with Southern Tier Athletics site or services, a cookie helps Southern Tier Athletics to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Southern Tier Athletics web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Southern Tier Athletics features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies, if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you will not be able to order products from Southern Tier Athletics on our web site and may not experience the interactive features of the Southern Tier Athletics web sites you visit.
Security of Your Personal Information
