4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We share your personal information and other information as set out below. Where we disclose your personal information to service providers or third parties, we require them to respect the security of your personal information, to treat it in accordance with applicable law, and to use it only for specified and authorised purposes.

Service providers

We disclose your information to third party service providers authorised by us and acting on our behalf to operate functions of our services.

Our partners

We may share your information with partners such as mobile carriers, TV/games console manufacturers, and/or set top box operators to coordinate with them on providing our services to their customers.

Auditel

Auditel, by means of the so-called "SDK" (analytical marker), collects information on the ways in which users use the DAZN website and/or app for the purposes of detecting, in aggregate form, the video content enjoyed through the same. The information collected by the SDK makes it possible to obtain data on the viewing behaviour of the users (for example, by detecting the content visited, viewing times, type of device as well as the geographical area of reference), but not to know their identity or demographic characteristics: Auditel, in fact, for the collection of data through the SDK uses mechanisms suitable to reduce the identifying power (with reference, for example, to the IP address of the users). The information collected is used by Auditel, as part of its audience survey activities, to process analyses and statistics on the type and number of video contents used and on the clicks made on one or more video contents during navigation. During the process of data collection and processing, Auditel may use the collaboration of third parties for the performance of tasks of a technical or organisational nature (such as IT services and support for the management of deactivation options), located within or outside the European Union: with reference to the latter, in particular, the measures required by the privacy regulations are adopted in order to best protect users' data, such as the signing of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

For further information on Auditel and the Digital Device Measurement System, we invite the user to consult Auditel's Privacy Policy.

- For browser browsing

- For navigation via app

DAZN GLOBAL COOKIE NOTICE

Last updated: 22/04/2024

This notice outlines how DAZN use cookies and similar technologies to collect data. It should be read and understood in in conjunction with our local Terms and Conditions and Global Privacy Notice - this includes the information concerning who is the controller, the controller’s representative, the DPO and your data protection rights.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES

A ‘cookie’ is a small piece of data stored on your device for Internet web browsers to track, personalize, and save information about each your browsing session. We utilise both first-party cookies and third-party cookies.

What we mean by "similar technologies"

We and our third-party partners use other technologies including web beacons, pixels and Software Development Kits (SDKs) that perform a similar role as cookies. They are embedded in various parts of our services to collect certain information about:

your device or browser (e.g. your IP address);
mobile advertising identifiers (e.g. MAIDs and IFAs); and
information on your interaction and use of our services, including your usage information.

We also collect information through other types of local storage otherwise known as flash cookies for various features of our services (e.g. to remember and apply your last volume settings).

How we use cookies

We and our third-party partners use cookies and similar technologies to:

Recognise you and distinguish you from other users, including to identify and set your preferences;
Deliver our services to you;
Better understand how you interact with our services;
Customise, measure and improve your experience of our services;
Conduct research and diagnostics from your use of our services;
Prevent fraudulent and otherwise unlawful activities;
Maintain and improve our information security;
Deliver personalised content and recommendations to you;
Deliver targeted and relevant marketing communications and ads about our services on a selection of websites across the Internet including social media platforms;
Technically deliver ads on our services;
Combat ad fraud and abuse, to prevent you seeing the same ad repeatedly and for aggregated ad reporting; and
Collect, share, and use personal information to select, display and/or measure tailored and non-tailored ads on our services (see Advertising section).

Categories of cookies we use

Our use of cookies and similar technologies falls into four categories:

Strictly Necessary (or ‘essential'): Necessary for the operation of our service. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your cookie preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of our services will not then work. They do not store any personal information.

Performance: Enable us to measure and improve our website by collecting, analysing and reporting information on how you and others use it. These cookies and similar technologies collect information in a way that does not directly identify you or anyone else. If you disable these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our services and we won’t be able to properly monitor its performance for you.

Functionality: Help us to provide enhanced functionality and content personalisation on our services. For example, they help us to recognise you when you return to our services, to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences, such as your choice of language. They do not track your browsing activity on third party websites. If you disable these cookies, our enhanced functionality and content personalisation may not function properly.

Targeting or Advertising: Set through our services by our third-party advertising partners to improve your ad experience on other sites or apps. They are used by our partners to build a profile of your interests to show you more relevant and personalised marketing communications on other sites or apps, to measure the effectiveness of these marketing communications, and to prevent you from seeing the same ones repeatedly. These cookies and similar technologies do not store personal information that directly identifies you, but instead use a unique identifier to identify your browser or device (e.g. your IP address, MAID or IFA). If you disable these cookies, you will still see marketing communications and ads on other sites or apps, but they will not be as relevant to your interests. We will continue to personalise your experience on our services through cookies you have not disabled.

2. ADVERTISING

Our services are part-funded by the sale of advertising, or ‘ads’. You will see ads when accessing content on our services, but you can control whether and how we and our advertising technology partners use your personal information to make the ads you see more relevant to you.

Ad categories

Tailored: These store information, or access information that is already stored, on your device, such as advertising identifiers, device identifiers, cookies and similar technologies. They enable the collection of personal information and other information (e.g. your Advertising Information) and, in combination with information independently collected by Google, enable Google and its ad technology providers to manage, deliver and measure tailored and non-tailored ads on our services, to stop you from seeing the same ad repeatedly, and to detect and stop click fraud.

Non-tailored: These ads are selected, displayed and measured by our ad serving partner, Google. Non-tailored ads involve Google storing and accessing information on your device (e.g. cookie / mobile identifiers) but otherwise do not use your personal information to build a profile about you and your interests in order to show you ads. To make non-tailored ads more relevant to you, we and Google use contextual information such as your general location and the type of content you view on our Services.

Generic: These ads are pre-recorded and inserted by DAZN into the content you access and view. Unlike non-tailored ads generic ads do not involve our ad serving partner, Google, storing and accessing information on your device (e.g. cookies or other identifiers) or the use of your personal information to build a profile about you and your interests in order to show you ads. To make generic ads more relevant to you, we use contextual information such as your general location and the type of content you view on our services.

Delivering our ads

We use Google Ad Manager as our ad serving platform for tailored and non-tailored ads. Subject to any preferences you have expressed – including consent, where required – Google will store and/or access information on your device using its Google tag, SDK or application programming interface (API) integrated with our services in order to perform the following, subject to your preferences to:

create a tailored ads profile about you;
select tailored and non-tailored ads on our services;
deliver tailored and non-tailored ads on our services;
measure ad performance of tailored and non-tailored ads on our services;
stop you seeing the same ad repeatedly;
detect and combat fraud and abuse.

Where legally required, we will collect your consent for the storage and/or access to information on your device, and the collection, sharing and use of personal information to select, display and/or measure tailored and non-tailored ads on our services.

How personal information is used for tailored ads

We understand the importance of transparency in relation to how we and our partner ad technology providers use your personal information. The following is a breakdown of the personal information processing activities involved to select, display and measure tailored ads to you on our services:

Our partner ad technology providers store and access information on your device to select, display and measure tailored ads. If you opt-out of information storage and access via Settings, you will receive only generic ads.
Subject to your preferences, our ad technology providers will use a combination of the following personal information to build a profile about you and your interests, and to select, display and measure tailored ads to you on our services:
- We collect Advertising Information about your use of our services, which we then aggregate (or otherwise combine) with Advertising Information of other similar users and subsequently share. We do not provide any direct personal identifiers, or any attributes or behavioural characteristics of the audience segments assigned to you with our partner ad technology providers for the purpose of selecting, displaying and/or measuring tailored ads on our services.
- Our ad technology providers independently collect personal information on the sites you visit, your search history, the apps you use, and other information, which they may combine with the information shared by us in order to work with their own partner ad technology providers to select, display and measure tailored ads on our services. Please note that we do not control and take no responsibility for the personal information Google and other partner ad technology providers independently collect on third party sites and apps for the purposes of selecting, displaying and/or measuring tailored ads on our services.

You are always free at any time to opt-out of tailored ads as detailed in Customising your preferences, though you will still see either non-tailored ads or generic ads but they will not be as relevant to you.

How personal information is used for non-tailored ads

Non-tailored ads use very limited personal information. We do not share personal information with Google, and Google and other partner ad technology providers do not use personal information to build a profile about you and your interests to select, display and measure ads. However, non-tailored ads do require Google to store and access information on your device to technically deliver non-tailored ads, to combat fraud and abuse, to prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly, and for aggregated ad reporting. If you disable this information storage and access as detailed in Customising your preferences you will receive only generic ads.

3. CUSTOMISING YOUR PREFERENCES

Depending on the territory where you are located, you can customise your preferences from the Settings section of your DAZN account. You can also accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings on your Internet browser or device. If you use your browser or device settings to block and or disable all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our services.

4. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE NOTICE

We keep this notice under regular review to ensure it reflects how we process your personal information, including changes to our processing purposes, your rights in respect of your personal information, and substantive or material changes to how we process personal information. We will take proactive measures to notify you of any such changes via an appropriate means to ensure you remain informed, such as emails, and website pop ups.
