Privacy Policy
HockeyCharacters.com is operated by Cutting Edge Ice Academy. This policy explains what personal data we process when you use the site, how that data is handled, and the choices available to you.
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.
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.
We do not sell personal data or share it with third parties for advertising.
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.
