We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Your username, profile, and reviews are public by default and visible to all visitors of the Service. We may share your information with third-party service providers who help us operate the Service (such as our hosting and authentication providers), subject to confidentiality obligations.
We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Chekpoint or others.
Your data is stored using Supabase, a secure cloud database provider. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We use two categories of cookies on Chekpoint:
Session cookies are strictly necessary to keep you signed in to your account. They are set automatically when you log in and are deleted when your session ends. No consent is required for these as they are essential to the Service.
Analytics cookies are provided by Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and help us understand how the Service is used in aggregate — for example, which pages receive the most traffic and how users navigate the site. GA4 collects anonymised usage data; it does not identify you personally and we do not use it for advertising or share it with third parties for marketing purposes. These cookies are only placed after you give explicit consent via the banner shown on your first visit to the site. You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Decline" if the banner reappears, or by clearing your browser's local storage.
We do not use advertising cookies, remarketing cookies, or any cookies that track you across other websites.
Game data and cover images are provided by IGDB (Internet Game Database). By using the Service, you also interact with IGDB's data under their terms. Our Service uses Google Fonts for typography; Google may collect limited data per their privacy policy.
We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised usage statistics. Data is processed by Google subject to their Privacy Policy. Analytics are only active if you have given consent.
You may update or correct your profile information at any time from your profile page. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us. We will process deletion requests within a reasonable time.
The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will note the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
If you have questions or requests regarding your privacy, please contact us.
