Plain-English summary
The NBA Privacy Policy indicates that user data may be transferred or disclosed during business changes like mergers or acquisitions (risk_flags-1). It also states that personal data is subject to collection from various external sources, including data brokers and social media platforms (data_use-1), and may be shared with business partners for marketing and advertising purposes (data_use-2). Additionally, external websites or services linked from NBA platforms are not covered by this policy, so different privacy practices may apply and users should review their policies (risk_flags-2).
