What happens when I leave SportsExpress.com to visit a Sports Express linked business partner’s Web site?
Parts of SportsExpress.com, such as Related Links, consist of products and services hosted by third party businesses. When you leave SportsExpress.com to visit one of these sites, the only information transferred to the third party is the fact that you came from SportsExpress.com (the referral address). This practice allows the third party to monitor its own Web site traffic, but does not provide them with any information about you. Sports Express is not responsible or liable for the independent privacy policies of our third party sites. You should consult the privacy policies at those sites to determine how your information may be used.
