TCG Card Protection respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit TCGCardProtection.com, why it may be processed and how third-party services used by the website may handle information.
TCG Card Protection is primarily an informational website. You do not need to create an account or provide personal information to read our articles.
Information we collect
TCG Card Protection does not currently operate user accounts, accept comments, run an email newsletter or sell products directly through the website.
We do not intentionally ask visitors to provide personal information simply to use or read the website.
Some limited technical information may still be processed automatically when you visit the site. For example, our web hosting provider may create server logs containing information such as:
- your IP address;
- browser and device information;
- the page requested;
- the date and time of the request; and
- technical information used to keep the website secure and functioning correctly.
This information is generally used for security, troubleshooting and normal website operation.
Cookies
TCG Card Protection uses a cookie consent tool to manage visitors’ cookie preferences.
The tool may store a cookie or similar information on your device so that the website can remember the choices you have made about cookies.
Some cookies may be strictly necessary for the website to work correctly. Where consent is required for other cookies or similar technologies, they should not be used until you have made the appropriate choice through the cookie banner or settings.
You can change your cookie preferences using the cookie settings available on the website.
You can also control or delete cookies through your web browser.
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to understand how TCG Card Protection appears in Google Search.
Search Console provides aggregated information such as:
- search queries that lead people to the website;
- impressions in Google Search;
- clicks from search results;
- average search positions; and
- indexing and technical information about the website.
We use this information to understand how the site performs in Google Search and to identify technical or indexing problems.
We do not use Google Analytics.
Bing Webmaster Tools
We use Bing Webmaster Tools to understand how TCG Card Protection appears and performs in Bing search results.
This may provide information about search visibility, search queries, clicks, indexing and technical issues affecting the website.
We use this information to monitor and improve the site’s presence in Bing Search.
Amazon affiliate links
TCG Card Protection participates in the Amazon Associates Programme.
Some links on this website are Amazon affiliate links. When you click an Amazon affiliate link, you leave TCG Card Protection and are taken to an Amazon website.
Amazon may process information relating to your visit, including information used to identify that you reached Amazon through one of our affiliate links.
Amazon Associates reporting may provide us with information such as:
- the number of clicks on affiliate links;
- products ordered following affiliate referrals;
- qualifying purchases;
- conversion information; and
- commissions earned.
We do not receive your Amazon account password, payment card details, delivery address or other information that you provide directly to Amazon when making a purchase.
Amazon is responsible for the personal information it collects through its own websites and services. Its use of that information is governed by Amazon’s own privacy and cookie policies.
For more information about how we use affiliate links, please see our Affiliate Disclosure.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Third-party websites
TCG Card Protection contains links to third-party websites, including Amazon.
Once you follow a link to another website, that website’s own privacy practices apply.
We are not responsible for how third-party websites collect, use or protect information after you leave TCGCardProtection.com.
Information we do not currently collect directly
TCG Card Protection does not currently:
- allow visitors to create user accounts;
- accept website comments;
- operate an email newsletter;
- process payments;
- sell products directly;
- use Google Analytics;
- ask visitors to create personal profiles; or
- sell visitors’ personal information.
If the services or features used by the website change, this Privacy Policy will be updated where necessary.
How information is used
Where information is processed in connection with TCG Card Protection, it may be used to:
- operate and maintain the website;
- keep the website secure;
- diagnose technical problems;
- understand how pages appear in search engines;
- measure clicks and qualifying purchases made through Amazon affiliate links;
- comply with legal obligations; and
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims where necessary.
We do not use personal information to build advertising profiles ourselves.
How long information is kept
TCG Card Protection only intends to retain information for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it is processed.
Retention periods for information held by third-party providers, including our hosting provider, Amazon, Google and Microsoft, are governed by their own services, policies and settings.
Sharing information
We do not sell personal information.
Information may be processed by third-party service providers where this is necessary to operate the website or provide the services described in this policy.
These may include:
- our web hosting provider;
- our cookie consent provider;
- Google in connection with Google Search Console;
- Microsoft in connection with Bing Webmaster Tools; and
- Amazon in connection with Amazon affiliate links.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect legal rights or the security of the website.
International data processing
Some third-party services used by TCG Card Protection may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where a third-party provider processes personal information internationally, that provider is responsible for applying the safeguards required by applicable data protection law.
Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances and the information involved, UK data protection law may give you rights including the right to:
- ask whether your personal information is being processed;
- request access to your personal information;
- ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
- request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances;
- ask for processing to be restricted in certain circumstances;
- object to certain types of processing; and
- make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Because TCG Card Protection collects very little personal information directly from visitors, we may hold little or no information that can be linked to an ordinary website visitor.
Children’s privacy
TCG Card Protection is a general consumer information website and does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
The website does not offer user accounts, comments or other features intended to collect personal information from children.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if the website changes, if we begin using additional services or if legal or regulatory requirements change.
The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last updated.
