Who we are

Riftbound Player is an unofficial, fan-run site for the Riftbound TCG. If you want to contact me about mistakes or business stuff, visit the contact us page.

Affiliates, Commission, and You

We affiliate with a few different sites that might pay us a small commission if you buy something from them after following a link from our site. These commissions are helpful for us to earn enough to pay for the hosting, templates, and software used to build and maintain the site.

Those sites include Amazon, eBay, TCGPlayer, and others. You should assume that if you click a link to one of these sites from our site and buy something, we may earn a small commission. In case that isn’t clear, here are some official affiliate disclaimers:

Amazon

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

eBay

As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase.

Advertising

We may display ads on this site from various companies. If you have viewed or clicked these ads, we might earn a small amount. We try to only serve minimal ads and make them as unobtrusive as possible. If they are obnoxious, breaking the site, or scammy, please do contact us, and we’ll fix it

Most of the data collected will be held by those companies or the ad provider. One of the ad providers is Google. You can choose what data you want to be collected or stored by Google by going to https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-personalization.

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

Suggested text: 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.

Cookies

When you visit our site, cookies may be set to track data about your visit, i.e. what pages you visited, what you clicked, how long you visited for, what screen size you used, e.t.c. This helps us figure out what content is popular, how best to design our site for different screens, and allows us to make the site better.

We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website. Google Analytics gathers information about website use by means of cookies. The information gathered relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of our website. Google’s privacy policy is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Cookies are used to serve ads from Google Adsense. Google and other third-party sites that advertise through Google Adsense use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve and customize those ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info for third-party (not Google) adverts.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, twitter/insta feeds etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We don’t share e-mails you send, but comments you leave are open to be read by the public. Cookies and data that advertisers collect is covered in the Cookies section above.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
