Privacy Policy

PlanetSmasherGames.com is a website that exists to support Mike Hutchinson’s tabletop miniatures games. The website was built using WordPress and is maintained by Mike Hutchinson.

What personal data do we collect, who do we share it with and why?

PlanetSmasherGames.com is an independently-hosted WordPress.org powered site. It uses Google Analytics to track site statistics and Mailchimp for email mailing lists.

MailChimp: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

Jetpack

PlanetSmasherGames.com uses the premium Jetpack service from WordPress in order to track how many people are using the site and reading the articles. All data is anonymised and we can’t see who – specifically- viewed something, only how may from a given country or region.

For more information, please see the WordPress Jetpack Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics

If you use PlanetSmasherGames.com, we send your location, IP address and a cookie id to Google Analytics in order to track how many people are visiting the site and where the come from in the world and how they found us. All data is anonymised and we can’t see who – specifically- viewed something, only how may from a given country or region.

For more information, please see the Google Privacy Policy.

Mailchimp

If you provide me with your email address as part of purchasing or downloaded one of my games, I will ask you to consent to add that email to our Gaslands mailing list in Mailchimp. You also notice a little mailing list sign up form on some pages of the site, and that – of course – also shares your email address with Mailchimp. When we send you an email using Mailchimp, it has some tracking technology in it to simply let us know how many people opened or clicked on the email (and even that stuff doesn’t work 100% in every email client).

For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice.

Do we sell your data to anyone?

Nope.

Do we use cookies?

Like practically every website on the internet, PlanetSmasherGames.com uses cookies to function. This site uses WordPress, which uses cookies to manage sessions and login, as well and Google Analytics, which needs cookies to function. If you want to use this site, you have to eat your cookies.

Your Rights as a Citizen Of Europe

Under GDPR, the data subject (that’s you!) has the right to access and amend any of their personal data that we hold. If you would rather Mike spent his time processing GDPR subject data requests than writing more game content for Gaslands, be my guest.

That’s it.

We only collect the minimum data we need to operate the site using extremely common technologies such as WordPress, Mailchimp and Google Analytics and never sell your data to anyone. If we add anything to the site, we will update the privacy policy here to let you know.
