What Information do we collect and store?
Except as disclosed below, we don't sell, trade, give away, or rent your personal information to any company outside of the Slinger Bag Group.
Personal Information
We collect and store information that you provide to us, including through the Website, Apps or our customer support or that we receive from third parties (such as companies providing commercially available databases). For example, when you place an order or sign up to any Apps or Services, we collect and store some or all of the following information that you provide: name, billing address, shipping address, email address, telephone number, and credit card number and expiration date. If you sign up for a Slinger Bag or Slinger App account, which allows you to use the same sign-in details anywhere in the world, or subscribe for any newsletters or alerts, we may ask for your name, e-mail address, date of birth and password. We will also collect the following additional information if you choose to provide it when you sign-up for an account: telephone number, gender, personal preferences, social identifier if you choose to log in to your account via social media and age. If you choose to apply certain discount codes when making purchases, we may store the information associated with that code – which may include, for example, a school or veteran status, and connect that information with your profile. We collect your e-mail addresses and zip code if you subscribe to our newsletter and we collect your mobile number if you opt-in to receive text messages. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions located within each newsletter or linked to each text message. We also collect and store your geolocation information. Registration may be required and personal information collected in certain areas of the Website in which you specifically and knowingly provide such information, e.g. community postings (i.e., chat or bulletin boards), suggestions, or customer service requests. When we run a contest or campaign relating to our Website or Apps, it will be accompanied by a set of rules. The rules for each contest/campaign will specify how the information gathered from you for entry will be used and disclosed, if it is different than as described in this Policy. Personal information will be collected only if you voluntarily submit it to our sponsors or us.
Specifically related to the Slinger App
On top of the personal information mentioned above, went it comes to app-specific features we may also collect:
- App registration information such as username and password, age and email address.

If you choose not to provide us with certain information, you may not be able to register with the Slinger App or enjoy the full benefits of features such as our AI assessment as well as the curated content and feedback that comes with it.
We also automatically collect other app related information, which includes:
- 'Cookies', which are identifiers we transfer to your mobile device that allow us to recognize your mobile device and your behavior when using our Apps.
