WooCommerce and WordPress

Our website uses WordPress and WooCommerce to provide ecommerce functionality.

Information submitted through our website may be processed by WordPress, WooCommerce, our hosting provider, payment providers, security services, and other third-party services that are integrated into our website.

The information processed may include customer account details, order information, billing and shipping information, and technical information required to operate the website and complete transactions.

Third-party services integrated with our website may have their own privacy policies and terms governing how they process personal information.

Payment Information

Payments made through our website may be processed by third-party payment providers.

For security reasons, payment card information may be transmitted directly to the relevant payment provider rather than being stored directly by The Game Team.

Payment providers may collect and process payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable security requirements.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate essential website functions, remember preferences, maintain shopping-cart functionality, improve website performance, understand how visitors use the website, and support marketing or analytics activities where applicable.

You can control or disable certain cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the website, including ecommerce features.

Third-Party Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to websites, services, or platforms operated by third parties.

If you follow a link to a third-party website, that website will have its own privacy policy and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children to make purchases independently.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, a parent or legal guardian may contact us using the details below.

Security of Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should avoid sending sensitive personal information through unsecured communication channels.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Retention periods may depend on factors including:

  • Whether you maintain an account with us.
  • Whether we need the information to fulfill an order or provide services.
  • Legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements.
  • The need to resolve disputes.
  • The need to enforce agreements or protect our legal rights.

When personal information is no longer required, we may securely delete or anonymize it where appropriate.

Depending on your circumstances and applicable Canadian privacy law (including PIPEDA), you may have rights relating to your personal information, including:

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are used in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy law (including PIPEDA).

These safeguards may include adequacy regulations, appropriate contractual protections, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
