Use of Information Obtained by Hockey54
When you register with Hockey54, you create your own profile. Your profile information, as well as your name, e-mail and photo, are displayed to other users. We may occasionally use your name and e-mail address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Hockey54 that we think you may find valuable.
Profile information is used by Hockey54 primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service, and to be presented to others permitted to view that information. Profile information you submit to Hockey54 will be available to users of Hockey54. Your name and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results on the Site and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so your friends can find you and send a friend request.
Hockey54 may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message or someone posts on your wall, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact. Generally, you may opt out of such emails in your notifications page.

We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a in the Hockey54 community like a particular team or player, and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you Hockey54. We believe this benefits you. For example, if you put a favorite player in your profile, we might serve you promotion highlighting a meet and greet with that player. Likewise, if you put a favourite skate brand in your profile, we may offer you a promotion for that particular brand. But we don't tell the skate company who you are.
