General Statement of Privacy and Protection of Personal Information
MyPuck takes your privacy and security of Personal Information very seriously. We have provided and will continue to provide a secure environment and this strict Policy that describes the limited ways the information is used and the limited access to such information.
What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
This Policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and other information gathered by MyPuck when you are using or accessing the Website or using the Services. This Policy also covers MyPuck’s treatment of any Personal Information that MyPuck may share with its business partners or other third parties under very limited circumstances.
This Policy does not apply to the general practices and treatment of information (whether personal or not) by third parties that MyPuck does not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites or services that you elect to access through the Website or Services or via a link from the Website or Services (“Third Party Website”), or to individuals that MyPuck does not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access or link only to those Third Party Websites that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Website you access. We have named and provided links to some of the most important of these Third Party Websites further in this Policy.
Finally, this Policy does not cover any Personal Information you send to MyPuck via any non-secured, non-encrypted mode of communications such as email, instant messenger or other messaging service, or Twitter or any other social media, as communications via these methods may be subject to interception, loss, or alteration. While we welcome your comments and suggestions sent to us in this manner, we encourage you to carefully examine what Personal Information you send to MyPuck via these methods.
No Collection of Personal Information as a Matter of Course
MyPuck does not, as a matter of course, gather any of your Personal Information while you are using the Website or Services, unless you are asked to provide such information, for example by signing up for an account. Personal Information is only gathered with your informed consent. Where you have provided Personal Information, it will only be used for the stated purpose, as detailed more specifically in the next section.
Personal Information Collected and Its Uses
The following is an exhaustive list of Personal Information collected from you when you use the Website or Services and what we use it for. You acknowledge that you are submitting this Personal Information with your informed consent.
- Location: To the extent either your location can be considered Personal Information, your location is required to use the Services. Your location is collected through location services on your Device or via location services in your web browser. We use your location to help match Renters and Goalies based on geographic criteria.
- “Billing Information”. If you are a Renter booking a Goalie for a Game, you will be required to enter the following information in order to pay the Booking Fee: your credit card number, credit card expiry date, and security (CVC) number. You may optionally submit your mobile phone number if you wish to re-use this same credit card information at a future date, using the “Remember Me” option. Billing Information is only used to process the credit card transaction for your payment of Booking Fees, and to facilitate repeat payments if you choose the “Remember Me” option. For more details on the treatment of your Billing Information, please see the Secured Payments section further below in this Policy.
Security and Encryption of Information
MyPuck uses only industry best practices (physical, electronic and procedural) in keeping any data collected (including Personal Information) secure. In addition, MyPuck uses third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Website and the Services, and these third parties have been selected for their high standards of security, both electronic and physical.
Non-disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
Except as provided in the next paragraph and the next sections in this Policy entitled Secured Payments and Email Communications, MyPuck does not divulge any Personal Information gathered via the Website or Services to third parties.
