Privacy Policy
Effective date: TBD — pending legal review.
This draft describes how wcdraft (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use the wcdraft website and game. It reflects our intended technical stack and will be finalised before launch.
Information we collect
We aim to collect the minimum needed to run the game. Depending on how you use wcdraft:
- Account information. If you create an account, we store an identifier and basic credentials needed for authentication (for example, an email address or a third-party sign-in identifier).
- Gameplay data. Drafts you build, runs you complete, scores, and leaderboard placements.
- Purchase records. If you buy the one-time ad-free upgrade, our payment processor handles your card details; we retain only a record that the purchase was made.
- Technical data. Standard server and request logs (such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps) generated by our hosting provider.
We do not knowingly collect special-category personal data, and the game does not require it.
How we use information
- To operate the game — running drafts, scoring runs, and maintaining leaderboards.
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
- To process the optional one-time ad-free purchase.
- To serve advertising to players who have not purchased the ad-free upgrade.
- To diagnose problems, prevent abuse, and improve the game.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the site to function, such as keeping you signed in and remembering essential preferences. If and when advertising is enabled, our advertising partner may set additional cookies; where required by law, these will only be set after you consent. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may break parts of the game.
Third-party infrastructure
wcdraft relies on a small number of trusted providers. Each processes data only as needed to deliver its service, and each maintains its own privacy policy:
- Vercel — website and application hosting, including request and server logs.
- Neon (PostgreSQL) with Drizzle — our database for accounts, authentication, and gameplay data.
- Stripe — payment processing for the one-time ad-free purchase. Stripe receives the payment details necessary to complete your transaction.
- Google AdSense (planned) — advertising for players on the free tier. When enabled, Google may process data to serve and measure ads.
We do not sell your personal information. We share data with these providers only to run the service, or where required by law.
Your rights (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. We process personal data on the legal bases of performing our contract with you (running the game), your consent (for example, advertising cookies), and our legitimate interests (security and abuse prevention). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Your rights (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, to request deletion of your personal information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
Children under 13
wcdraft is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Consent
By using wcdraft, you agree to this Privacy Policy. Where the law requires consent — for example, for non-essential advertising cookies — we will ask for it separately, and you may withdraw it at any time without affecting your ability to play the core game.
