Privacy Policy

Scope and Data Controller

This policy applies to the public website, quizzes, and related resources available at HockeyCharacters.com. Cutting Edge Ice Academy, located in New Jersey, United States, is the data controller for the information collected through these services.

Personal Data We Collect

We designed the experience to operate with minimal data. We collect and process the following categories of personal information:

• Device-stored preferences: theme selection, the quiz mode you last opened, and your most recent results are saved locally on your device so the experience resumes where you left off.
• Voluntary correspondence: when you email or otherwise contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
• Aggregate usage metrics: we review anonymous statistics (for example, quiz starts or completion counts) to monitor performance. These reports do not include identifiable personal data.
• Team codes and skill submissions: when a player enters an optional team code, the overall score and category totals are stored with that code so coaches can view aggregated dashboards. Individual answers are not shared publicly.
• Program and marketing inquiries: if you register a team code or request information, we store the contact details you provide so we can deliver onboarding materials and occasional updates about Hockey Character, Cutting Edge Ice Academy, and our subsidiaries.

How We Use Personal Data

We process the data above for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Providing the service: remembering settings and progress so quizzes load correctly and your results remain available.
• Improving the product: evaluating aggregate usage patterns to refine questions, scoring, and supporting materials.
• Responding to inquiries: communicating with you when you request assistance or share feedback.
• Generating team dashboards: presenting aggregated skill assessment results for coaches or organizations who distribute team codes.
• Sharing program updates: sending marketing or educational messages about Hockey Character, Cutting Edge Ice Academy, and affiliated subsidiary programs when you provide your contact information. You can opt out of these communications at any time by emailing info@edgeiceacademy.com.

We do not sell personal data or allow third-party advertisers to use your information, and we never repurpose player or athlete quiz responses for advertising or promotional profiling.

Player and Athlete Data Protections

• Team dashboards display aggregated statistics only; individual responses and identities are not visible to other users.
• Player and athlete quiz responses are stored separately from marketing contact lists and are not combined with other data to create performance or advertising profiles.
• We do not sell, rent, or license player or athlete data to third parties, including scouts, advertisers, or analytics vendors.

If you believe player or athlete data has been collected in error or wish to remove it, email info@edgeiceacademy.com and we will assist you.

Marketing Communications and Opt-Out

We may send occasional announcements about new training programs, product features, or events when you register a team code or otherwise ask for updates. Each message is sent by Cutting Edge Ice Academy or one of its subsidiaries, and may reference offerings across the broader organization. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, email info@edgeiceacademy.com and we will remove you from future marketing lists within a reasonable time.

Cookies, Local Storage, and Analytics

The quizzes rely on local storage within your browser. You can clear these items at any time through your browser settings. If you enter a team code, we store the sanitized code locally so future reports open more quickly. If analytics tools are active, they collect only aggregated technical information—such as the number of quiz starts, completions, or share clicks—and cannot be used to identify an individual visitor.

Retention and Security

Locally stored preferences remain on your device until you remove them. Messages you send to us are retained only as long as needed to address your request and maintain appropriate business records. We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Children's Privacy

The quizzes are intended for players aged 13 and older. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us so we can delete it promptly.

Your Rights and Choices

• Clear your browser's local storage to remove saved quiz preferences and history.
• Use browser controls or extensions to limit analytics tracking; the quizzes will continue to function without analytics.
• Contact us to access, correct, or delete personal data you previously shared, including removing player or athlete information associated with a team code or marketing list.

Opt-Out and Data Erasure Requests

Players, parents or guardians, coaches, and organizations can opt out of marketing communications, withdraw a team code, or request deletion of stored player or athlete data by emailing info@edgeiceacademy.com. We may ask for details about the relevant team code or message history to verify the request and will complete removal within applicable legal timeframes.
