The StateOfFootball.com's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users.
The StateOfFootball.com and its internet partners

transactional areas.
Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise

permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services
through the StateOfFootball.com site. The StateOfFootball.com is not responsible for any
actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the applicable
privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information.
Additionally, users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally
identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) in the message board areas of the

disclosed in the user's communication, can be collected and correlated and used by third
