Additional information about cookies and similar tracking technologies:

We and our partners collect personal data via cookies and similar technologies, you can find further information in this regard which supplements the above information in the TNT Sports Boxoffice Cookies Policy. Generally, cookies and similar technologies will only be used (i) with your consent or (ii) without your consent only where those cookies and similar technologies are strictly necessary to provide our Services to you. You can object to the use of these cookies and revoke your relevant consents in our Cookies & Ad Choices Preference Centre, and, in some cases, by using your browser settings or the settings on your mobile device.

Additional information about our partners:

In addition to our relationship with Discovery and BT, we have arrangements in place with certain TV, internet service providers, and streaming media device providers, which mean that those partners can make our Services available to their customers. If you access the Services via one of our partners (including Discovery and BT), we will receive certain personal data from the partner which, in most cases, will be limited to a hashed user identification number, product code and country of origin information ("API Data"). We collect API Data from partners to allow / authenticate your access to the Services. Together with the partner, we are joint data controllers of API Data, which means that we are both responsible for ensuring that API Data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws – you may exercise your rights in relation to API Data against either one of us.

In some, more limited cases, we will also receive your registration information from partners (for example, your name and e-mail address) rather than you registering with us directly. We will use that information for the purposes explained to you when you register with those partners (usually, account management and marketing).

Where we have these arrangements in place with partners, the types of information we collect about you, and how we use it, will usually be more limited than when you register with us directly and, therefore, some sections of this Privacy Notice may not be relevant. Those partners will separately use your personal data in accordance with their own privacy notices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of our partners, and we urge you to read their privacy notices carefully.

Additional information about marketing:

Marketing messages from us:

We would like to send you marketing communications, which includes our newsletters, promotional e-mails, and information about products, services and promotions offered by us, our partners, and other organisations with which we work. You will receive marketing communications from us if you created an account and we obtained your prior opt-in consent to send you marketing.

Unsubscribe from marketing messages:

You may unsubscribe from marketing messages by clicking the unsubscribe link in our marketing e-mails, or by contacting us to opt out of marketing by e-mailing tntsportsboxofficesupport@endeavorstreaming.com .

The Warner Bros. Discovery family of companies:

In addition to the third parties and partners referred to above, we may share your personal data with certain Warner Bros. Discovery companies, including their subsidiary and affiliated companies and joint venture partners (“Warner Bros. Discovery family of companies”), but only to the extent permissible according to data protection laws and to the extent necessary, in particular for the purposes listed in the ‘purposes’ list above such as to provide and improve our products and services, as well as to provide you with information about products or services that may interest you.

Legal requirements and protection of Services and users:

We will disclose the information we collect where we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is: (a) required by law (or to respond to subpoenas, warrants, government requests, or similar process served on us) or to establish or exercise our legal rights; and/or (b) necessary to protect or defend our legal rights or property, our Services, you, or other third parties, or ensure the safety and security of our Services, systems, and of our customers or the general public.

Aggregate information:

We may aggregate and/or de-identify information such that it is no longer linked to you or your device. This Privacy Notice does not limit our ability to disclose aggregated or de-identified information that is not linked to you. We may use and disclose such information to our partners, advertisers, and any other third parties in our discretion.

No automated decision making:

We do not process your personal data to make you subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

When transferring personal data outside the UK and the EEA, we will:
