Privacy policy

Who we are

This site is operated by Checkpoint Gaming, a game store at 321 N Main St, Clinton, TN 37716. You can reach us on (865) 269-4500 or at checkpointgamingtn@gmail.com, which is also the address to use for anything in this policy.

This policy covers this website only. It does not cover what happens in the shop itself, or on Facebook, TCGplayer or any other service we link to.

What we collect

Things you type in and send us

Nothing on this site asks for personal information unless you choose to send it. Two forms do:

• The Dungeons & Dragons player sign-up and Dungeon Master application. Your name, the best way to contact you, the days and times you are free, how often you want to play, what you want to play, your experience, and anything you put in the notes box. The Dungeon Master form also asks how long you have been running and playing games, your style, what you would like to run, and when you could start.
• The newsletter form. Your email address, and nothing else.

Form answers are emailed straight to the shop. We do not build a profile from them.

Things collected automatically

Our host records ordinary web-server information on every request: your IP address, your browser and device type, the page you asked for, the page you came from, and the time. This is what lets the site be delivered and lets us see abuse or attacks. We do not use it to identify individual visitors.

Visit statistics

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and to see which pages people read and whether they tap our phone number. Google Analytics receives your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view and roughly where you are (town or region). It sets cookies to tell a returning browser from a new one. See Cookies below. We see totals and trends, not who you are.

What we do not do

• We do not run advertising, tracking pixels or session recording, and we have not turned on Google Analytics' advertising features.
• We do not have user accounts or passwords.
• We do not take payments on this website.
• We do not sell or share your personal information, and we never have.

Why we collect it

Who else handles it

We use a small number of companies to run the site. They only handle your information to provide their service to us.

• Cloudflare hosts the site and delivers it. Request logs sit with them.
• Resend delivers the form emails to our inbox, and sends the newsletter.
• SiteWise Websites built and maintains this site, and operates the newsletter list on our behalf. Newsletter addresses are stored there and with Resend, not in the shop.
• Google provides Google Analytics, which receives the visit information described above. Google also receives your IP address and browser information when the calendar on the events page or the map on the visit page loads. The site's fonts are served from our own host, not Google.

We may also hand over information if the law requires it.

Cookies

The only cookies this site sets are Google Analytics cookies (named _ga and _ga_…). They let Google Analytics tell a returning browser from a new one so our visit counts are accurate, and they last up to two years. There are no advertising cookies, and the site stores nothing of its own in your browser.

The events page embeds a calendar from Google and the visit page embeds a Google map. Those are Google's services, and Google's own privacy policy applies to what they receive.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on. The site works the same either way.

How long we keep it

• Form answers stay in the shop's email while they are useful for organising games. Ask us and we will delete yours.
• Newsletter addresses stay on the list until you unsubscribe, then they move to a suppression list so we do not email you again by accident.
• Server logs are kept by Cloudflare on their own schedule. We do not keep a separate copy.
• Visit statistics are kept in Google Analytics for two months at the visitor level, then only as totals.

Your choices and your rights

Email checkpointgamingtn@gmail.com and we will act on any of these:

• Ask what we hold about you, and get a copy.
• Ask us to correct it, or delete it.
• Withdraw consent for the newsletter. Every newsletter also has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, which works immediately.
• Object to what we are doing with it.

If you are in California, you have the right to know, delete and correct, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share it, so there is nothing to opt out of. We will not treat you differently for asking about any of this.

If you are in the UK or the EU, the bases we rely on are in the table above, and you can complain to your local data protection authority. Our host and email providers are US companies, so information about you is handled in the United States.

Security

The whole site is served over HTTPS. We hold no passwords and no card details, because the site has neither accounts nor checkout. Form answers land in an ordinary email inbox, which we keep secured with a strong password and two-factor sign-in. No website can promise perfect security, and we will not pretend otherwise.

Children

We are a family-friendly shop and we run events for kids, but this website is not aimed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from anyone under 13. If you are under 13, please ask a parent or guardian before filling in a form here. If we learn we have information from a child under 13, we will delete it. Tell us at checkpointgamingtn@gmail.com if that has happened.

Changes

If we change this policy we will change the effective date at the top. If the change is a significant one and we have your email address, we will tell you.
