Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Date]

This Privacy Policy explains how The Degenerate Gaming (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit our Shopify store, make a purchase, contact us, subscribe to marketing communications, or otherwise interact with our services.

Our store is powered by Shopify. Shopify may process personal information in connection with providing hosting, checkout, analytics, security, and e-commerce services.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with our store, we may collect information such as:

Contact information: name, email address, phone number, billing address, and shipping address.

Order information: products purchased, order history, order value, shipping method, returns, refunds, and related transaction information.

Payment information: payment details necessary to process your transaction. Complete payment-card information is generally processed by Shopify and authorized payment providers rather than being directly stored by us.

Account information: username, password-related credentials, saved addresses, preferences, and account activity if customer accounts are enabled.

Device and usage information: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring URLs, interactions with the website, and similar technical information.

Communications: messages sent through our contact form, customer-service inquiries, reviews, feedback, and other communications.

Marketing information: email subscription status, marketing preferences, interactions with campaigns, and promotional communications.

3. Shopify

Our online store is hosted by Shopify.

Shopify processes certain personal information to provide checkout, hosting, security, analytics, payment-related functionality, and other e-commerce services.

Information processed by Shopify may be handled according to Shopify's own privacy practices in addition to this Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

• Keep the website functioning correctly

• Understand website traffic

• Measure store performance

• Prevent fraud

• Support analytics

• Deliver or measure advertising where enabled

Depending on your location, you may be given choices regarding non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

You may also control certain cookies through your browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

5. How We Share Personal Information

• Website analytics providers

• Customer-support tools

We do not sell personal information for money.

Certain advertising or analytics practices may legally be treated as “sharing,” “sale,” or “targeted advertising” in some jurisdictions. Where required, we will provide applicable privacy choices.

6. Payment Processing

Payments are processed through Shopify and/or third-party payment providers available through our checkout.

We generally do not directly receive or store complete payment-card numbers.

Payment providers may collect and process your payment information according to their own privacy policies and security requirements.

If you subscribe to our email list or otherwise consent to marketing, we may send information about:

• New collectible releases

Transactional messages relating to orders, payments, shipping, security, or customer service may still be sent when necessary.

8. Analytics and Advertising

We may use analytics services to understand how customers interact with our website.

If advertising platforms are used, they may collect information through cookies or similar technologies to measure campaign effectiveness or display relevant advertising.

Where required by applicable law, consent or opt-out controls will be provided.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including fulfilling orders, providing customer service, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable laws.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

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

Customers are responsible for keeping account credentials confidential where customer accounts are enabled.

11. Children's Privacy

Our store is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children below the minimum age permitted by applicable privacy law without appropriate parental or guardian authorization.

If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us so that we can review and address the request.

12. International Data Transfers

Shopify and other service providers may process or store personal information in countries outside your place of residence.

When required, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.

14. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of jurisdictions with applicable consumer-privacy laws may have additional rights regarding access, correction, deletion, portability, targeted advertising, or certain forms of data sharing.

Where our activities are subject to those laws, we will honor eligible requests as required.
