Whenever a file is accessed or is attempted access on an Radtke Sports Inc. server, the relevant Radtke Sports Inc.

The data collected is not Personal Information, and cannot distinguish an individual user’s identity. We use this data to help us determine how much our Consumers use parts of the Website, so we can improve our Website to assure that it is functioning properly and appealing to our Consumers. We may provide statistical information of Website usage to our Affiliates about how Consumers collectively use an Radtke Sports Inc. Website. We do this so they too can understand how many people, including various demographics, use specific Website areas (including areas they may be providing services for) and our Website as a whole in order for them to help provide you with a positive Internet experience.

In addition, Radtke Sports Inc. will not distribute any information of a prospective client or any other contact person that may be submitted through means of an online form without that person’s written consent.
Radtke Sports Inc. may use a technology nicknamed "cookies".

1.) Necessary behind-the-scenes account and/or necessary service-related information for the following features and services: Fan clubs, contests, public message boards, public chat rooms, newsletters, product purchases (online or offline), and special access or subscription areas (e.g. Kids Zone).

No Personal Information of any child under the age of thirteen will be distributed to any other third party under any circumstance.
Radtke Sports Inc. reserves the right, by law, to send a one-time response to an email (with appropriate and ethical content) sent by a child under the age of thirteen if that child sent an email to Radtke Sports Inc. with or without parental consent. Given that, immediately following the one-time response if there was no parental consent, Radtke Sports Inc. will delete the child’s email address and any additional Personal Information acquired through the email from its contact database. We strive to help youth enjoy positive online experiences, and enjoy answering questions or concerns they have regarding any Website-related issue if and when appropriate.
In the event we learn that we have collected any Personal Information from a child under the age of thirteen without parental consent (beside the one exception mentioned above), we will delete that information from our database immediately. In addition, if at any time you as a parent would like to request the removal of any information of your child from an Radtke Sports Inc.
