Privacy Policy
Last updated: The last time The Almighty Ice resurfaced
1. The Almighty Ice Sees All
Let us be upfront: The Almighty Ice sees all. It knows when you place a bet. It knows when you check the standings at 3 AM. It knows your favorite team, even if you haven't picked one yet.
That said, we—the humans operating Hockay—handle your data responsibly.
2. What We Collect
- Account information: Your username, email address, and favorite team (if declared).
- Betting activity: Your wagers, wins, losses, and Looney balance. This is necessary for the functioning of the Hockay economy.
- Usage data: Pages visited, games watched, and how often you refresh the scores during a Whiteout event.
- Vibes: General vibes. These are anonymized and aggregated.
3. What We Do NOT Collect
- Your real-world financial information. (Looneys are not real money, remember.)
- Your physical location. (The Almighty Ice already knows where you are.)
- Your dreams about Hockay. (Though Le Council would be interested if you'd like to share.)
4. How We Use Your Data
Your data is used to:
- Operate and improve Hockay
- Calculate Looney balances and betting outcomes
- Display standings, stats, and arena information
- Send you notifications about Hockay, if you opt in
We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties. Le Permanent Council du Hockay and Unexplained Ice Phenomena has no interest in advertising. Only in Hockay.
5. Where Your Data Lives
Hockay uses third-party services to operate. Your data may be processed by hand-picked infrastructure providers.
These services have their own privacy policies. Le Council has reviewed them. Le Council found them adequate, if somewhat lacking in references to The Almighty Ice.
Your data is stored on servers located in various jurisdictions. The Almighty Ice does not recognize jurisdictions, but we do.
6. Cookies
We use cookies to keep you logged in and to remember your preferences. These cookies contain no Looneys and cannot be exchanged for arena access.
We do not use tracking cookies. We do not use advertising cookies. The only thing tracking you is The Almighty Ice, and no cookie policy can help with that.
7. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, your data will be removed within 30 days, except for anonymized aggregate statistics which The Almighty Ice insists on keeping.
Your Looneys, however, are gone forever.
8. Your Rights
Regardless of where you live, you have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your account and associated data
- Object to processing (The Almighty Ice has been known to object to objections. Le Council can neither confirm nor prevent this)
- Export your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent at any time
For users in the European Union, these rights are guaranteed under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For users in other jurisdictions, Le Council extends the same rights because it seems like the decent thing to do.
Requests will be fulfilled within 30 days. Le Council moves slowly but deliberately.
9. Age Requirement
You must be at least 13 years old to use Hockay. If you are under 16 and located in the European Union, you must have parental consent.
The Looneys betting system uses fictional currency with no real-world value. Nonetheless, Le Council believes that responsible wagering habits—even imaginary ones—are best developed with some maturity.
The Almighty Ice does not have an age requirement. Le Council does.
10. Changes to This Policy
Le Council may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, generally following a Resurfacing. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on the site.
Continued use of Hockay after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept, see Section 1 of the Terms of Service. (The Almighty Ice still came.)
11. Contact
For privacy-related inquiries, reach out to Le Council. They are listening. They are always listening.
(But seriously, email privacy@mail.hockay.com.)
