We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws, including the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

1. Information We Collect

We may collect certain types of information from and about users of our Site, including:

  • Personal Information You Provide Directly:

    • Contact Form Submissions: When you use our contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.

  • Information Collected Automatically (may include Personal Information):

    • Usage Data: Like most websites, our web server or third-party hosting providers automatically log certain non-personal information, such as IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. While often non-personal, IP addresses can be considered personal information under certain privacy laws when linked to other data.

    • Social Media Widget Data: Our Site includes embedded social media widgets (Discord, Instagram, Facebook). When you interact with these widgets, or if you are already logged into these social media platforms, they may collect information about your visit to our Site. This information is governed by the respective privacy policies of these social media companies (e.g., Facebook's Data Policy, Instagram's Privacy Policy, Discord's Privacy Policy). We do not control the data collected by these third-party widgets.

    • Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: We, or our third-party service providers (such as social media platforms via their widgets), may use cookies and similar technologies.

      • Cookies: Small data files placed on your device.

      • Purpose: These technologies may be used to:

        • Enable the functionality of social media widgets.

        • Collect aggregated, non-personal analytical data about website usage (e.g., number of visitors, popular pages) if we use basic analytics (see Section 4).

        • Facilitate interactions with social media platforms if you are logged in.

2. How We Collect Your Information

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Directly from You: When you submit information via our contact form.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Respond to Your Inquiries: Information submitted via the contact form is used to respond to your questions, comments, or requests.

  • To Operate and Maintain Our Site: We use automatically collected data for technical operation, troubleshooting, and ensuring the security of our website.

  • To Enhance User Experience: While we don't directly track individuals for personalization, the general data from social media widgets helps us understand how users engage with our content.

  • For Analytics (Aggregated & Anonymized): We may use aggregated and anonymized data (e.g., from web server logs or basic analytics) to understand general website traffic patterns and improve our site's content and structure.

We do not use your personal information for marketing or advertising purposes beyond responding to your direct inquiries, nor do we sell or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, primarily through embedded social media widgets and potentially for basic site analytics.

  • Social Media Widgets: When you interact with our Discord, Instagram, and Facebook widgets, these platforms may set their own cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of Discord, Instagram, and Facebook respectively.

  • Our Site's Cookies (if any): Any cookies directly set by our website are generally limited to those strictly necessary for technical operation (e.g., session cookies for current Browse).

  • Your Choices Regarding Cookies: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Site, particularly the social media widgets, may not function properly.

5. Disclosure of Your Information

We generally do not disclose your personal information to third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers (e.g., website hosting providers, email service providers for our contact form submissions) who perform services on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

  • Social Media Platforms: When you use or interact with social media widgets on our Site, personal information (such as your IP address and Browse activity) may be collected directly by those social media companies according to their own privacy policies. We do not control their data collection or usage.

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

  • Protection of Rights: We may disclose your information when we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary consideration, nor do we share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. Your California Privacy Rights (CalOPPA, CCPA, CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights regarding your personal information under California law. As we collect minimal personal information (primarily through the contact form and automatically via web server logs/social widgets), your primary rights related to the data we directly control would be:

  • Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose to you the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which we collected the personal information, the purposes for collecting that personal information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.

  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

  • Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: As stated, we do not sell or share your personal information (as these terms are defined under CCPA/CPRA) for monetary consideration or cross-context behavioral advertising. Therefore, a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link is not strictly required based on our current practices, but if our practices change, we would provide one.

  • Right to Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at:

  • Email: [Your Customer Service Email Address Here]

  • Phone: [Your Customer Service Phone Number Here]

  • Mail: [Your Store Address Here, e.g., Legends Comics and Games, [Street Address], [City], CA [Zip Code]]

We will verify your request using information associated with your previous interactions with us (e.g., your email from a contact form submission) or by requesting additional information to confirm your identity. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by law.

7. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

CalOPPA requires us to disclose how we respond to Do Not Track signals. Currently, our Site does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals. Note that your interactions with third-party social media widgets are governed by their respective privacy policies regarding DNT.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13 through our contact form. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
