Who we are
Our website address is: https://sportsworldtulsa.com. Sports World is committed to protecting your private information. The following Privacy Statement describes the information we gather, how long it’s retained, how it’s shared, and how we use such information to improve our service to you.
Sports World gathers data in two ways: automatically, through your use of our website; and through our online forms you complete.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments on Public Forums
This website may make RSS newsfeeds, forums, message boards or social media platforms available to its users. Sports World has no control over any information shared or stored in these public forums. We recommend users exercise caution when disclosing any information in any public portal – whether through this page or other sources.
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Online forms
Our site’s Contact Form gives us the information necessary to communicate with our users.
Our Firearms Transfer Forms enable us to collect the information necessary to process a legal firearms transfer as required by federal law. Other than the dealer and the government agencies involved in the transfer process, we do not share user personal data with any third party.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
“Cookies” are snippets of information a website can store on a visitor’s computer (if the visitor allows such tracking). Cookie data includes the pages a user visits, the amount of time they spent, where they went next, where the visitor came from, and so on. Cookies cannot deliver malware or run programs on a visitor’s computer. The computer’s browser provides the data back to the website each time the user visits. Sports World uses the information to determine users’ preferences so that we can make business decisions based on customer interests.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
Cookies are required for search engines such as Google and Bing to find and analyze websites so that users can find the products and services they’re searching. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how visitors use our site. We then use the information to compile reports and to help us improve our site. Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Users have the ability to opt out of Google Analytics without affecting their ability to use our site.
How we share your data
- Third Party Vendors: We may share information about you with vendors that help us understand and enhance our products and services (such as analytics providers).
- As Request by User: When a user completes a Firearms Transfer form, the user’s personal information is shared with the firearms dealer, the agency that performs the required background check, and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
- To Protect Rights and Property: We may disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Sports World, third parties, or the public at large.
- As Required by Law: We may be required to disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your contact information
Any information entered in our online Contact Form is retained indefinitely. This is so we can provide users with helpful information about products and services that interest them.
Additional information
How we protect your data
Sports World strives to secure the website’s integrity, as well as users’ personal information, from unauthorized disclosure, use or access through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, which is the industry standard.
The internet can be a dangerous place, and Sports World recommends users take extraordinary measures to protect their private information. We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect the website and its users against hackers and malware so that our visitors’ personal information cannot be stolen or altered. Unfortunately, cyber criminals are constantly evolving and learning, so no information transmitted over the internet can be guaranteed safe and secure. While we strive to protect visitors’ personal information, our visitors must also acknowledge: (a) we cannot guarantee the security, integrity and privacy of data exchanged between visitors and Sports World through the website; because (b) the privacy and security limitations inherent to internet usage are beyond Sports World’s control.
External Data Storage
Sports World stores its data on servers provided through a third-party hosting service. Our database is password protected using strong security to prevent unauthorized access and use.

- To respond to communications users submit through our online Contact Form.
- To process a visitor’s request for a Firearms Transfer.
- To monitor and protect information under Sports World’s control, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities, to fight spam and malware, and to protect the property and rights of Sports World.
