Personal Information

We collect information that you provide directly to us. This includes details you submit when creating an account, completing forms, purchasing a membership, posting or submitting content through our Services, contacting our customer support, or communicating with us (whether directly or via third-party platforms). The personal information we may collect includes your name, display name, username, bio, email address, address, phone number, business details, and any content you choose to share, such as your avatar, photos, posts, responses, and published series, along with any other information you voluntarily provide.

We do not collect or store payment information directly through our Services. All payment transactions are processed by third-party providers. Any information you provide for payment purposes is submitted directly to those providers and is subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies before providing any payment information.

They enable core features such as user authentication, account management, and secure payment processing. We use these cookies to ensure the Service operates smoothly and to support basic functionality required for you to navigate and use key features of the site.
  • Tracking Technologies: We use tracking technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about your interactions with our Services. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us enhance your experience, analyze usage patterns, identify popular features, and improve overall functionality. Web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") are tiny graphics embedded in our website or emails that assist in delivering cookies, counting visits, and understanding how the Services are used.
  • Third-party analytics: We may also work with third-party analytics providers who use these and other technologies,such as device identifiers, to collect information about your use of our Services and other websites or apps. This data may include your IP address, browser type, mobile network information, pages visited, time spent on pages or within the app, and links clicked. This information may be used by us and our partners to analyze trends, measure engagement, deliver personalized content, and gain insights into your online activity and preferences.
• Information We Collect from Other Sources:

  We may obtain information about you from third-party sources. For example, we may receive data from social media platforms, accounting service providers, and analytics partners. If you create an account or log in through a third-party platform—such as Apple, Facebook, Google, or Twitter—we may access certain information associated with your profile on that platform. This may include your name, profile picture, birthday, and lists of friends or followers, depending on the permissions you grant and the platform’s authorization procedures.

• Deliver technical notices, security alerts, and administrative messages;
• Respond to your inquiries, comments, and support requests;
• Communicate with you about new content, features, products, or services, and provide news and updates we believe may be of interest to you;
• Monitor usage, trends, and user activity to better understand how our Services are used;
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent, illegal, or malicious activity, and protect the rights, safety, and property of our users and Services;
• Identify and fix bugs or errors in our Services;

• With Other Users of the Services: If you engage with public features of the Services, such as publishing content, posting comments, or sending private notes, certain information about you may be visible to other users. This may include your display name, profile photo, bio, public account details, and activity on the platform (e.g., followers, followed users, recent posts, claps, highlights, and responses).
• With Service Providers and Partners: We share personal information with vendors, service providers, and consultants who require access to such data to perform tasks on our behalf. These include companies providing web hosting, cloud storage, analytics, payment processing, fraud prevention, customer support, security, communications, and marketing services.
• To Comply with Legal Obligations: We may disclose personal information if required by law, legal process, or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., law enforcement or national security agencies). Where legally permissible, we will notify you of such disclosures so you have an opportunity to object, unless prohibited by law or if doing so could endanger others or lead to illegal activity. We also reserve the right to challenge requests we believe are improper.
• To Protect Rights and Safety: We may share personal information when we believe it is necessary to enforce our terms, protect our rights, investigate suspected unlawful activity, or ensure the safety of our users and the public.

• With Affiliates: Personal information may be shared among TCGHunters.com SASU, its current or future parent company, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other entities under common ownership and control.
• With Your Consent: We may share your personal information with third parties when you give us your explicit consent or direct us to do so.
• Aggregated or De-Identified Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. This information is used for research, analytics, or reporting purposes.

Some content displayed on our Services is hosted by third parties, not by us directly. Users may post content that is embedded from external platforms, such as videos, images, or social media posts, known as “Embeds.” Although the content appears within our pages, it is served from the third-party provider.

When you interact with an Embed, information about your interaction may be transmitted to the third party as though you visited their site directly. For example, viewing an embedded YouTube video may result in YouTube receiving data such as your IP address, browser type, and the portion of the video you watched.

We do not control the data collection practices of third parties through Embeds, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to their collection or use of your information. The third party’s own privacy policy governs how your data is handled, and we strongly recommend reviewing their privacy policies before engaging with embedded content.
