Welcome to ThePoker-Place.com.

This Privacy Policy explains how ThePoker-Place.com, referred to in this Policy as “The Poker Place”, “we”, “us” or “our”, collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal information when you use our website, create an account, register for The Poker Place Academy, use our tools, complete quizzes, purchase a membership or communicate with us.

This Policy applies to ThePoker-Place.com, The Poker Place Academy and the related services, tools, content and account features available through the website.

A parent or legal guardian who believes that information relating to an individual under 18 has been collected may contact us at support@thepoker-place.com.

6. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR or a similar law applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

6.1 Performance of a contract

We process account, membership, transaction and Academy information when necessary to provide the Service requested by you.

6.2 Consent

We rely on consent for:

1. Marketing emails where consent is required.
2. Nonessential analytics cookies where consent is required.
3. Other optional processing that is clearly presented as consent based.

You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

6.3 Legitimate interests

We may process information for legitimate interests such as:

1. Securing the website and accounts.
2. Preventing fraud and misuse.
3. Providing customer support.
4. Maintaining and improving the Service.
5. Protecting our legal and intellectual property rights.
6. Understanding general Service performance, where permitted.

We consider whether these interests are reasonably necessary and whether they are overridden by the rights and interests of users.

6.4 Legal obligations

We may process and retain information when necessary to comply with applicable legal, accounting, tax, payment and regulatory requirements.

6.5 Legal claims

We may process information when necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

4. Session management.
5. Membership access.

7.2 Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to measure website usage, traffic, pages viewed and interactions.

Google Analytics may process device, browser, session, IP related and cookie identifier information to create usage reports.

Google requires websites using Analytics to disclose its use and how data is collected and processed. Google also provides account settings for retention, consent and privacy controls.

Where applicable law requires consent, Google Analytics and other nonessential analytics technologies will be activated only after the user provides the relevant consent.

7.3 Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags and integrations.

Google Tag Manager may be used to load Google Analytics and other approved website technologies. Tags loaded through Google Tag Manager may use cookies or collect information according to their own configuration and purpose.

Google Tag Manager is not used by us to activate personalized advertising.

7.4 Managing cookies

You may manage nonessential cookies through the website’s cookie consent controls, where provided.

You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent login, membership access, progress storage or other parts of the Service from functioning correctly.

Withdrawing cookie consent does not automatically delete data that was lawfully collected before the withdrawal.

8. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may use your email address to send newsletters, Academy updates, educational content, new feature announcements and promotional messages if you have provided the required consent or another lawful basis applies.

Mailchimp is currently used to manage email subscriptions and marketing communications.

Information transferred to Mailchimp may include:

1. Email address.
2. Username or name, where available.
3. Country.
4. Membership plan.
5. Marketing consent status.
6. Subscription status.
7. Registration date.
8. Campaign interaction information, such as delivery, opening or link interaction data, where available.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in a marketing email or by contacting support@thepoker-place.com.

After unsubscribing, limited information may remain on a suppression list so that we can record and respect your request not to receive further marketing.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending essential account, security, payment or service messages.

Mailchimp maintains its own privacy policies and processes contact information to provide its email services.

9. AUTOMATED DATA TRANSFERS THROUGH MAKE

We use Make to automate the transfer of registration and account information between systems.

For example, Make may transfer relevant information from WordPress to Google Sheets and Mailchimp.

The information transferred may include:

2. Internal user ID.
3. Username.
4. Email address.
5. Country.
6. IP address.
7. Membership plan.
8. Terms acceptance status.
9. Marketing consent status.
10. Mailchimp subscription status.

Make processes this information for the purpose of carrying out the configured workflow. Technical logs may also be processed according to Make’s settings, contractual terms and privacy notice.

We do not authorize Make to use registration information for its own independent marketing purposes.

10. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We do not sell personal information.

We may disclose information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary:

10.1 Hosting and website infrastructure

Our website is hosted by FastComet.

The website and its WordPress database are currently hosted on a server located in the United States.

FastComet may process website files, database information, server logs, backups and technical information as part of providing hosting, maintenance and security services. FastComet’s data processing documentation states that customer information may be processed in the United States.

10.2 Google services

We may use Google services including:

1. Google Sheets for account and registration administration.
2. Google Analytics for website measurement.
3. Google Tag Manager for managing website tags.

10.3 Mailchimp

We share email addresses, subscription information and relevant account fields with Mailchimp for email list management and authorized marketing communications.

10.4 Make

We share information with Make where required to transfer information between our website, Google Sheets and Mailchimp.

10.5 Payment providers

When payments are enabled, transaction and payment information may be shared with PayPal or another payment provider selected during checkout.

The payment provider collects and processes payment information according to its own terms and privacy policy.

10.6 Professional advisers

We may disclose information to accountants, legal advisers, security specialists, consultants or insurers where reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

11. AFFILIATE AND PARTNER LINKS

The website may contain links to external poker related services, software providers or other third party websites.

12. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

The Service is operated for an international audience.

Personal information may be collected in Israel, Europe, the United States or another country and may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries in which our service providers operate.

Our primary website hosting server is currently located in the United States.

Google, Mailchimp, Make, FastComet and PayPal may also process information in the United States and other jurisdictions.

Privacy and data protection laws in these countries may differ from the laws in your country.

Where required, we rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism, which may include:

1. An adequacy decision.
2. Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
3. A data processing agreement.
4. Participation by a provider in a recognized data transfer framework.
5. The user’s explicit consent, where legally valid.
6. Another mechanism permitted by applicable law.

European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses may be used to provide contractual safeguards for transfers from the EEA to countries outside the EEA. Israeli rules also impose conditions on transferring personal information from databases in Israel to recipients outside Israel.

13. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Retention is determined according to:

1. Whether the account remains active.
2. Whether the information is needed to provide the Service.
3. Membership and transaction history.
4. Legal, accounting and tax requirements.
5. Security and fraud prevention needs.
6. The need to resolve disputes.
7. Applicable limitation periods.
8. Backup and disaster recovery cycles.

Account and Academy information may be retained while the account remains active.

Quiz progress and saved tool information may be retained until the account is closed, the user deletes the information or it is no longer needed.

Transaction records may be retained for the period required by applicable accounting, payment and tax laws.

Marketing information is retained while you remain subscribed. After unsubscribing, limited suppression information may be retained to respect your preference.

Analytics information is retained according to the settings configured in our Google Analytics account and may later be deleted, aggregated or anonymized.

Server backups may contain information for a limited period until the backup is overwritten or securely deleted.

We may retain limited information after an account deletion request if required for legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, security or enforcement of our agreements.

14. DATA SECURITY

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

These measures may include:

1. Access restrictions.
2. User authentication.
3. Secure account credentials.
4. Encrypted data transmission where supported.
5. Hosting and server security controls.
6. Software updates.
7. Backups.
8. Logging and monitoring.
9. Limited access to administrative systems.
10. Service provider confidentiality and data processing terms.

No website, network, database or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for choosing a strong password, protecting your login details and informing us promptly if you suspect unauthorized account access.

If a personal data breach occurs, we will assess the incident and notify affected individuals or authorities where notification is required by applicable law.

15. PRIVACY RIGHTS IN ISRAEL

Users in Israel may have rights under the Israeli Privacy Protection Law and related regulations, including rights to request access to personal information held about them and to request correction of information that is incomplete, inaccurate or outdated.

Additional rights may apply depending on the type of information, the source of the information and the circumstances in which it is processed.

You may also:

1. Withdraw marketing consent.
2. Request removal from a mailing list.
3. Ask questions regarding the purposes for which information is used.
4. Submit an access, correction or deletion request where such right is available.

A request may be sent to support@thepoker-place.com.

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before responding.

Israeli privacy rules require transparency concerning the purposes of collecting information, the recipients of the information and available access and correction rights. Amendment 13 also strengthened enforcement and accountability requirements.

16. RIGHTS IN THE EEA, UNITED KINGDOM AND SWITZERLAND

If the GDPR, UK GDPR or similar European law applies to the processing of your information, you may have the right to:

1. Request access to your personal information.
2. Request correction of inaccurate information.
3. Request deletion of your information.
4. Request restriction of processing.
5. Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
6. Request portability of information you provided.
7. Withdraw consent at any time.
8. Object to direct marketing.
9. Submit a complaint to the competent data protection authority.
10. Request information about applicable international transfer safeguards.

These rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions.

A deletion request does not require us to delete information that must be retained to comply with law, establish legal claims, prevent fraud or complete an existing transaction.

We will normally respond within the period required by applicable law. We may request additional information when reasonably necessary to verify your identity.

The GDPR requires privacy information to be provided clearly and grants rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent.

17. UNITED STATES PRIVACY RIGHTS

Residents of certain United States states may have privacy rights where the relevant state law applies to us and to the particular processing activity.

Depending on the applicable law, these rights may include:

1. The right to know what personal information is collected.
2. The right to access personal information.
3. The right to request deletion.
4. The right to correct inaccurate information.
5. The right to receive a portable copy of certain information.
6. The right to opt out of the sale of personal information.

8. The right not to be discriminated against for exercising a privacy right.

ThePoker-Place.com does not sell personal information.

We do not intentionally use personal information for cross context behavioral advertising or personalized advertising.

Google Analytics is used for website measurement and general analytics rather than for delivering personalized advertising.

California law defines certain disclosures for cross context behavioral advertising as “sharing”, even where no money is exchanged. We do not knowingly disclose personal information for that purpose.

The rights described in this section apply only where the relevant state privacy law applies.

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, includes rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing and receive equal treatment when exercising privacy rights.

4. Internet activity, such as pages viewed and website interactions.
5. Approximate location information, such as country.

We have not knowingly shared personal information for cross context behavioral advertising.

We do disclose information to service providers for hosting, analytics, email management, automation, payment processing and website operations.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

If we deny a request, we will explain the reason where required and provide information about any available appeal or complaint procedure.

1. Membership access.
2. Quiz history.
3. Saved progress.
4. Scores.
5. Tool records.
6. User preferences.
7. Other account related information.

Some information may remain in backups or be retained for legal, security, transaction or fraud prevention purposes.

Marketing cancellation and account deletion are separate actions. Unsubscribing from marketing does not automatically delete your website account.

20. THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

The Service may contain links to websites that are not operated by us.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security or data processing practices of external websites.

A third party website may collect personal information independently, even when you reach it through a link on our website.
