This Privacy Policy explains how Ice Hockey Playbook (“Ice Hockey Playbook,” “we,” “us” or “our”) handles information collected through IceHockeyPlaybook.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you choose to send us
When you use our contact form or email us at admin@icehockeyplaybook.com, we receive the information you provide, such as your name, email address, subject and message. Contact form submissions are delivered to our inbox by email so we can reply; we do not use them for marketing and we do not sell them.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the servers that host the Site automatically record basic technical information in server logs, such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and the date and time of the request. This information is used to operate and secure the Site.
To help prevent spam, our contact form may temporarily record a non-identifying fingerprint of the sender’s IP address so that repeated automated submissions can be blocked. This record expires automatically within a short period.
Cookies
Reading the Site does not require cookies. WordPress, the software that powers the Site, sets cookies only for logged-in site administrators and, if comments are ever enabled, to remember commenter details at the commenter’s request. Our share buttons are simple links to the social networks and do not load tracking scripts on our pages. Our fonts and images are served from our own website rather than third-party services.
Analytics
At this time the Site does not use third-party analytics tools. If we add an analytics service such as Google Analytics in the future, we will update this policy before or when it is enabled to explain what is collected, how it is used and how you can opt out.
Advertising
At this time the Site does not display third-party advertising. If we begin to show ads, for example through Google AdSense, we will update this policy to explain that third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and how you can opt out of personalized advertising through Google’s Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
Affiliate Links
Some articles may in the future contain affiliate links to retailers. If you click one, the retailer may use its own cookies to record the referral. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
How We Use Information
- To respond to your questions, corrections and suggestions
- To operate, maintain, secure and improve the Site
- To prevent spam and abuse
- To comply with legal obligations
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that host or operate the Site and deliver email on our behalf, when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our readers and the Site.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, including U.S. states with consumer privacy laws and Canadian provinces, you may have rights to know, access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, email admin@icehockeyplaybook.com. We will respond as required by applicable law.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Data Retention and Security
We keep emails and contact form messages only as long as needed to respond and maintain a record of the conversation, and we use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Third-Party Websites
The Site links to external websites, such as league and governing-body resources. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Changes to This Policy
We will update this Privacy Policy when our practices change, including before adding analytics or advertising, and will revise the date at the top of this page.
