What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Registration form

Your personal data will be used to support your experience throughout this website, to manage access to your account, to create hockey rosters, to create mailing lists, and to contact you via email and/or telephone.

When you register, we collect your first and last name, phone number and email address.  You also create a unique user name and password to create an account on our site.  You may login to your account to update your contact information and password at any time, but you cannot change your username.  Your password is encrypted, so website administrators cannot see it.

We keep this data indefinitely, unless you contact us and ask us to delete it.

Signup form

You must have an account with us in order to sign up to play hockey with us.  If you have not already registered, you can do so when signing up to play.

Your personal data will be used to support your experience throughout this website, to manage access to your account, to create hockey rosters, to create mailing lists, and to contact you via email, text message and/or telephone.

When you sign up, we collect your first and last name, (optional) company name, address (street address, city, state and zip code), phone number and email address.   We also ask what line/position you would like to play.  We also ask for payment information via our third-party payment gateway.

Our Store

Your payment information is used to pay for the game that you signed up to play, plus any late cancellation fees and/or no-show fees that you agree to pay.  Your payment is processed via a third-party payment gateway, so we do not store your payment information on our website.

We collect information about you during the checkout process on our store.

While you visit our site, we’ll track:

  • Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
  • Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
  • Shipping address: we’ll ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order!

We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.

When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

  • Send you information about your account and order
  • Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints
  • Process payments and prevent fraud
  • Set up your account for our store
  • Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes
  • Improve our store offerings
  • Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them

If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it.

We may also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

Who on our team has access

Members of our team have access to the information you provide us. For example, both Administrators and Shop Managers can access:

  • Order information like what was purchased, when it was purchased and where it should be sent, and
  • Customer information like your name, email address, and billing and shipping information.

Our team members have access to this information to help fulfill orders, process refunds and support you.
