Welcome to Sinclair, a diversified media and broadcast television company. This Privacy Policy explains how Sinclair, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the Tennis Channel and the networks and broadcast affiliates listed at https://sbgi.net/ (together, “Sinclair”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal data in connection with its operation of Sinclair, its affiliated brands, websites, applications, and other digital platforms that reference or link to this Privacy Policy. We may also choose or be required by law to provide different or additional disclosures relating to the processing of personal data about residents of certain countries, regions, or states. Please refer to the Region-Specific Disclosures section below for additional disclosures that may be applicable to you.
Our Role in Processing Personal Data
Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal data. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (the why and how) of processing personal data. A “processor,” which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes personal data on behalf of a controller subject to the controller’s instructions.
This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices where we are acting as the controller of personal data. However, this Privacy Policy does not cover or address how our customers may process personal data when they use our services, or how we may process personal data on their behalf in accordance with their instructions where we are acting as their processor. As a result, we recommend referring to the Privacy Policy of the customer with which you have a relationship for information on how they engage processors, like us, to process personal data on their behalf. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individual requests relating to personal data we process on behalf of our customers, so we recommend directing any requests to the relevant customer.
Our Collection and Use of Personal Data
The categories of personal data we collect depend on how you interact with us and our services. For example, you may provide us your personal data directly when you sign up for our mailing list, register for an account, make an online purchase, post a review, participate in an event, contest, promotion or survey, interact with social networking features, or otherwise contact us or interact with us.
We also collect personal data automatically when you interact with our websites and other services and may also collect personal data from other sources and third parties.
Personal Data Provided by Individuals
We collect the following categories of personal data individuals provide us:
Contact Information, including first and last name, alias, phone number, email address, mailing address, and communication preferences. We use this information primarily to fulfill your request or transaction, to communicate with you directly, and to send you marketing communications in accordance with your preferences.
Account Information, including first and last name, account name, alias, email address, phone number, account credentials or one-time passcodes, and the products or services you are interested in, purchased, or have otherwise used. We use this information primarily to administer your account, provide you with our products and services, communicate with you regarding your account and your use of our products and services, and for customer support purposes.
Customer Content, including any files, documents, audio, videos, images, data, or communications you choose to input, upload, or transmit to our products and services, and audio recordings of customer service calls. We use this content primarily to provide you with our products and services, to facilitate your requests, and to improve our products and services.
Payment Information, including payment card information, billing address, and other financial information (such as, routing and account number). Please note that we use third-party payment providers to process payments made to us. We do not retain any personally identifiable financial information, such as payment card number, you provide these third-party payment providers in connection with payments. Rather, all such information is provided directly by you to our third-party payment providers. The payment provider’s use of your personal data is governed by their Privacy Policy.
Event, Contest, Promotion, and Survey Information, including information provided when you sign up for an event, enter a contest or promotion, complete a survey or submit a testimonial. We use this information primarily to administer and facilitate our products and services, respond to your submission, communicate with you, conduct market research, inform our marketing and advertising activities, improve and grow our business, and facilitate the related event, content, promotion, or survey.
Feedback and Support Information, including the contents of custom messages sent through the forms, chat platforms, including our online live chat or automated chat functions, email addresses, or other contact information we make available to customers, as well as recordings of calls with us, where permitted by law (including through the use of automated tools provided by us or our third-party providers). We use this information primarily to investigate and respond to your inquiries, to communicate with you via online chat, email, phone, text message or social media, and to improve our products and services.
Security-Related Information, including name and contact information of visitors to our premises, video recordings of videos on our premises, and electronic login records and access details when a visitor utilizes company technology on our premises. We use this information primarily to protect the security of our premises, employees, and our company.
If you choose to contact us, we may need additional information to fulfill the request or respond to your inquiry. We may provide additional privacy disclosures where the scope of the request we receive or personal data we require fall outside the scope of this Privacy Policy. In that case, the additional privacy disclosures will govern how we may process the information you provide at that time.
Personal Data Automatically Collected
We, and our third-party partners, automatically collect information you provide to us and information about how you access and use our products and services when you engage with us. We typically collect this information through the use of a variety of our own and our third-party partners’ automatic data collection technologies, including (i) cookies or small data files that are stored on an individual’s computer and (ii) other, related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies. Information we collect automatically about you may be combined with other personal information we collect directly from you or receive from other sources.
We, and our third-party partners, use automatic data collection technologies to automatically collect the following data when you use our services or otherwise engage with us:
Information About Your Device and Network, including the device type, manufacturer, and model, operating system, IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, and unique identifiers associated with you, your device, or your network (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or advertising ID). We employ third-party technologies designed to allow us to recognize when two or more devices are likely being used by the same individual and may leverage these technologies (where permitted) to link information collected from different devices.
Information About the Way Individuals Use Our Services and Interact With Us, including the site from which you came, the site to which you are going when you leave our services, how frequently you access our services, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access our services from multiple devices, and other browsing behavior and actions you take on our services (such as the pages you visit, the content you view, videos you watch, the communications you have through our services, and the content, links and ads you interact with). We employ third-party technologies designed to allow us to collect detailed information about browsing behavior and actions that you take on our services, which may record your mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on our services and other browsing, search or purchasing behavior. These third-party technologies may also record information you enter when you interact with our products or services, or engage in chat features or other communication platforms we provide.
Information About Your Location, including general geographic location that we or our third-party providers may derive from your IP address, as well as geolocation when you grant us access through your device settings (for example, if you choose to provide your GPS location via a mobile app).
All of the information collected automatically through these tools allows us to improve your customer experience. For example, we may use this information to enhance and personalize your user experience, to monitor and improve our products and services, to offer communications features such as live and automated chat, and to improve the effectiveness of our products, services, offers, advertising, communications and customer service. We may also use this information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information, including targeted content and advertising; (c) identify you across multiple devices; (d) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our services; (e) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, usage, and demographic patterns on our website; (f) diagnose or fix technology problems; and (g) otherwise to plan for and enhance our products and services.
For information about the choices you may have in relation to our use of automatic data collection technologies, please refer to the Your Privacy Choices section below. For additional details about the cookies we use on our websites and to adjust your preferences with regard to those cookies, please visit our “Cookie Preferences” manager linked in the footer of our websites.
Personal Data from Other Sources and Third Parties
We may receive the same categories of personal data as described above from the following sources and other parties:
Our Affiliates: We are able to offer you the products and services we make available because of the hard work of our team members across all Sinclair entities. To provide our products and facilitate our services, Sinclair entities receive personal data from other Sinclair entities for purposes and uses that are consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Single Sign-On: We may provide you the ability to log in to our services through certain third-party accounts you maintain. When you use these single sign-on protocols to access our services, we do not receive your login credentials for the relevant third-party service. Instead, we receive tokens from the single sign-on protocol to help identify you in our system (such as by your username) and confirm you successfully authenticated through the single sign-on protocol. This information allows us to more easily provide you access to our products and services.
Mobile Sign-On: We may provide you the ability to log in to our mobile applications or authenticate yourself using facial, fingerprint, or other biometric recognition technology available through your mobile device. If you choose to utilize these login features, information about your facial geometry, your fingerprint, or other biometric information will be collected by your mobile device for authentication purposes. We do not store or have access to this biometric information. Instead, your mobile device will perform the biometric authentication process and only let us know whether the authentication was successful. If the authentication was successful, you will be able to access the applicable mobile application or feature without separately providing your credentials. For more details, please refer to the biometric authentication guides offered by your device provider.
Employers: If you interact with our services in connection with your employment, we may obtain personal data about you from your employer or another company for which you work. For example, we may obtain your contact information from your employer to allow us to communicate with you about your employer’s customer relationship with us.
Other Customers: We may receive your personal data from our other customers. For example, a customer may provide us with your contact information as a part of a referral.
Social Media: When you interact with our services through other social media networks, such as when you follow us or share our content on other social networks, we may receive some information that you permit the social network to share with third parties. The data we receive is dependent upon your privacy settings with the social network, and may include profile information, profile picture, username, and any other information you permit the social network to share with third parties. You should always review and, if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and social media networks and services before sharing information and/or linking or connecting them to other services. We use this information primarily to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of our products and services, as well as to communicate directly with you, such as to send you messages about features that may be of interest to you.
Advertisers, Influencers, and Publishers: We engage in advertising both on our services and through third-party services. Advertisers, influencers, and publishers may share personal data with us in connection with our advertising efforts. For example, we may obtain information about whether an advertisement on our services led to a successful engagement between you and a third-party advertiser.
Business Partners: We may receive your information from our business partners, such as companies that offer their products and/or services as a part of or in connection with our services. For example, certain of our products and services allow our customers to integrate third-party services. If you choose to leverage these third-party service integrations, we may receive confirmation from our business partner regarding whether you are an existing customer of their services.
Service Providers: Our service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as analytics and certain marketing providers, collect personal data and often share some or all of this information with us. For example, we receive personal data you may submit in response to requests for feedback to our survey providers.

Information collected may include the site from which you came, the site to which you are going when you leave our services, how frequently you access our services, whether you open emails or click the links contained in emails, whether you access our services from multiple devices, and other browsing behavior and actions you take on our services (such as the pages you visit, the content you view, videos you watch, the communications you have through our services, and the content, links and ads you interact with). These third-party technologies may record your mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on our services and other browsing, search or purchasing behavior.

This information is used to provide and inform targeted advertising, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.

In Connection with a Business Transaction or Reorganization: We may take part in or be involved with a business transaction or reorganization, such as a merger, acquisition, joint venture, or financing or sale of company assets. We may disclose, transfer, or assign personal data to a third party during negotiation of, in connection with, or as an asset in such a business transaction or reorganization. Also, in the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, receivership, or insolvency, your personal data may be disclosed, transferred, or assigned to third parties in connection with the proceedings or disposition of our assets.

Your Privacy Choices
The following privacy choices are made available to all individuals with whom we interact. You may also have additional choices regarding your personal data depending on your location or residency. Please refer to our Region-Specific Disclosures below for information about additional privacy choices that may be available to you.
Communication Preferences
Email Communication Preferences: You can stop receiving promotional email communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link provided in any of our email communications. Please note you cannot opt-out of service-related email communications (such as, account verification, transaction confirmation, or service update emails).
Phone Communication Preferences: You can stop receiving promotional phone communications from us by informing the caller you no longer wish to receive promotional phone calls from us, following the instructions provided on the call for opting out of promotional phone calls (where available), or replying STOP to any one of our promotional text messages. Please note we may need to continue to communicate with you via phone for certain service-related messages (such as, sending a verification code to your phone via call or text for purposes of verifying the authenticity of a log-in attempt).
Push Notification Preferences: You can stop receiving push notifications from us by changing your preferences in your device’s notification settings menu or in the applicable service-specific application. Please note we do not have any control over your device’s notifications settings and are not responsible if they do not function as intended.
Direct Mailing Preferences: You can stop receiving promotional direct mail communications from us by contacting us at [email protected]. Please note this opt-out does not affect any mailings that are controlled by third parties that may feature or mention our services.
Withdrawing Your Consent
Where we have your consent for the processing of your personal data (e.g., when you opt in to receive certain types of marketing communications from us), you may withdraw your consent by following the instructions provided when your consent was requested or by contacting us as set forth in the Contact Us section below.
Automatic Data Collection Preferences
Certain of our services may provide you the ability to adjust your preferences regarding our use of automatic data collection technologies. For example, there is a “Cookie Preferences” manager linked in the footer of our websites that allows you to adjust your preferences regarding certain automatic data collection technologies on the specific website you are visiting for the specific device and browser you are using at that time (which means you will need to change your preferences on each device and browser you use to interact with the specific website you are visiting).
Where a Sinclair-specific preference manager or privacy setting is not available, you may be able to utilize third-party tools and features to further restrict our use of automatic data collection technologies. For example, (i) most browsers allow you to change browser settings to limit automatic data collection technologies on websites, (ii) most email providers allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images in emails that may contain automatic data collection technologies, and (iii) many devices allow you to change your device settings to limit automatic data collection technologies for device applications. Please note that blocking automatic data collection technologies through third-party tools and features may negatively impact your experience using our services, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on the third-party tool or feature you use, you may not be able to block all automatic data collection technologies or you may need to update your preferences on multiple devices or browsers. We do not have any control over these third-party tools and features and are not responsible if they do not function as intended.
Targeted Advertising Preferences
We engage third parties to help us facilitate targeted advertising designed to show you personalized ads based on predictions of your preferences and interests developed using personal data we maintain and personal data our third-party partners obtain from your activity over time and across nonaffiliated websites and other services. The data we and our third-party partners use for purposes of facilitating targeted advertising, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research, are primarily collected through the use of a variety of automatic data collection technologies, including cookies, web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help link the personal data we and our third-party partners collect to the same person, or otherwise target advertising to an individual on a third-party website or platform.
In addition to taking the steps set forth in the Automatic Data Collection Preferences section above, you may be able to further exercise control over the advertisements that you see by leveraging one or more targeted advertising opt-out programs. For example:
Device-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain devices provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire device (such as Apple devices through their App Tracking Transparency framework or Android devices through their opt out of ads personalization feature). Please refer to your device manufacturer’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available device-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.
Digital Advertising Alliance: The Digital Advertising Alliance allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN for browser-based advertising and https://www.youradchoices.com/appchoices for app-based advertising to opt out of targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s self-regulatory program.
Network Advertising Initiative: The Network Advertising Initiative similarly allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 to opt out of browser-based targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Network Advertising Initiative’s self-regulatory program.
Platform-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain third-party platforms provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire platform (such as certain social media platforms). Please refer to your platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.
Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements through one of these programs, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our services. Instead, it means that the online ads you do see from relevant program participants should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, program participants may still use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your use of our services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the applicable advertising industry program.
Modifying or Deleting Your Personal Data
If you are interested in reviewing, modifying, or deleting your personal data, you can contact us directly at https://sbgi.net/privacy-rights/. We may not be able to modify or delete your personal data in all circumstances.
Partner-Specific Preferences
Certain of our third-party providers and partners offer additional ways that you may exercise control over your personal data, or automatically impose limitations on the way we can use personal data in connection with the services they provide:
Device-Specific / Platform-Specific Preferences: The device and/or platform you use to interact with us (such as you mobile device or social media provider), may provide you additional choices with regard to the data you choose to share with us. For example, many mobile devices allow you to change your device permissions to prevent our products and services from accessing certain types of information from your device (such as your contact lists or precise geolocation data), and many social media platforms allow you to change your platform permissions to prevent integrated products and services from accessing certain types of information connected with your profile. Please refer to your device or platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.
Google Analytics: Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our customers interact with our services. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google’s website here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Add-On here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to our services. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://myadcenter.google.com/u/0/customize
Children’s Personal Data
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not intentionally or knowingly collect or solicit personal data from younger children. If an individual is under the age of 16, they should not use our services or otherwise provide us with any personal data either directly or by other means. If a child under the age of 16 has provided personal data to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove the personal data from our systems. If we learn that any personal data we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 16 we will promptly delete that personal data.
Security of Personal Data
We have implemented reasonable physical, technical, and organizational safeguards that are designed to protect your personal data. However, despite these controls, we cannot completely ensure or warrant the security of your personal data.
Retention of Personal Data
We will usually retain the personal data we collect about you for no longer than reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with our legitimate business interests and applicable law. However, if necessary, we may retain personal data for longer periods of time as required under applicable law or as needed to resolve disputes or protect our legal rights.
To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal data and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and other applicable obligations.
Once retention of the personal data is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal data or, if that is not possible (for example, because personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store the personal data and isolate it from further active processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, applications and other services. Except where we post, link to or expressly adopt or refer to this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any personal data practices of third parties. To learn about the personal data practices of third parties, please visit their respective Privacy Policy’s.

Personal Data Disclosures, Sales and Targeted Advertising
We disclose all of the categories of personal data we collect to the categories of recipients set forth in the Our Disclosure of Personal Data section of our Privacy Policy. Our disclosure of personal data to the following categories of third parties qualifies as the sale of personal data or the sharing or processing of personal data for the purpose of displaying advertisements that are selected based on personal data obtained or inferred over time from an individual’s activities across businesses or distinctly-branded websites, applications, or other services (otherwise known as “targeted advertising” or “cross-context behavioral advertising”) under certain privacy laws:
To Marketing Providers: We coordinate and share personal data with our marketing providers in order to advertise and communicate with you about the products and services we make available.
To Ad Networks and Advertising Partners: We work with third-party ad networks and advertising partners to deliver advertising and personalized content on our services, on other websites and services, and across other devices. These parties may collect information automatically from your browser or device when you visit our websites and other services through the use of cookies and related technologies. This information is used to provide and inform targeted advertising, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.
To Business Partners: We may share personal data with our business partners, or we may allow our business partners to collect personal data directly from you in connection with our services. Our business partners may use your personal data for their own business and commercial purposes, including to send you information about their products and services.
Depending on your state of residency and subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to limit or opt-out of the sale of personal data or the processing of personal data for purposes of targeted advertising (as described in the Your Additional U.S. Privacy Choices section below).
Please note we do not sell the personal data of individuals we know to be less than 16 years of age or share such information for targeted advertising purposes.]

Depending on your state of residency and subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to limit, or withdraw your consent for, our processing of sensitive personal data (as described in the Your Additional U.S. Privacy Choices section below).
Deidentified Information
We may at times receive, or process personal data to create, deidentified information that can no longer reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular individual or household.

Before processing your request to exercise certain rights (including the Right to Know, Access & Portability, Correction, and Deletion), we will need to verify your identity and confirm you are a resident of a state that offers the requested right(s). In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require the successful authentication of your account, or the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. As a result, we require requests submitted through our online form and toll-free number to include first and last name, email address, phone number, state of residency and/or the date of your last transaction with us.
In certain circumstances, we may decline or limit your request, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems, or where you are not a resident of one of the eligible states.
Submitting Authorized Agent Requests
In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf through the designated methods set forth above where we can verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf. In order to verify the authorized agent’s authority, we generally require evidence of either (i) a valid power of attorney or (ii) a signed letter containing your name and contact information, the name and contact information of the authorized agent, and a statement of authorization for the request. Depending on the evidence provided and your state of residency, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.
Submitting Parental Requests
If you wish to submit a privacy request on behalf of your minor child in accordance with applicable law, you must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify your child is the person about whom we collected personal data and you are authorized to submit the request on your child’s behalf.
Appealing Privacy Rights Decisions
Depending on your state of residency, you may be able to appeal a decision we have made in connection with your privacy rights request. All appeal requests should be submitted by replying to the communication resolving your original request.
Financial Incentives and Loyalty Programs
We may choose to provide programs and other offerings intended to provide benefits to eligible participants that qualify as financial incentives or loyalty programs under certain privacy laws. For example, we may choose to make available promotional materials or opportunities to obtain sweepstakes and contest prizes in connection with a financial incentive or loyalty program.
To obtain access to certain of these programs and other offerings, we may ask to collect or share your personal data, including name, contact information, professional information, account information, and transaction information. The third parties that may receive access to your personal data in connection with any program or offering are our program partners. We have determined that the value of any of these programs and other offerings are reasonably related to the value of the personal data we would receive and otherwise process in connection with these programs and offerings, based on our reasonable but sole determination. We estimate the value of the personal data we would receive and otherwise process in connection with these programs and offerings by considering the expense we would incur in collecting and processing the personal data, as well as the expenses related to facilitating the program or offering.
The terms applicable to each program and other offering, as well as any applicable program partners, will be provided at the time an eligible individual is offered an opportunity to participate. Interested individuals can opt-in to these programs and offerings by following the instructions presented at the time the offer is made.
