YGGDRASIL CARDS

Privacy Policy

Effective date: TBD

Draft pending legal review. This document is a working draft and has not yet been reviewed by counsel; it will be finalized before launch.

Overview

Yggdrasil Cards LLC ("Yggdrasil Cards," "we," "our," or "us") operates the website yggdrasilcards.com (the "Site") and sells trading cards and collectibles. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and your choices. We are an independent retailer and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, PSA, or any manufacturer.

Information we collect

Information you provide. When you contact us (for example, emailing info@yggdrasilcards.com or using a contact form), we collect the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Order and transaction information. Most purchases happen on third-party marketplaces (eBay, TCGplayer, PriceCharting) that we link to. When you buy through those platforms, your transaction is governed by that platform's privacy policy, not ours, and payment and shipping details are handled by them. [If you ever take direct orders or payments on the Site, disclose here exactly what you collect: name, shipping address, email, and that payment is processed by your processor, e.g. Stripe/PayPal, who receives your payment details.]

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring page. [State your actual analytics tool here, e.g. "We use [Plausible / Cloudflare Web Analytics / Google Analytics] to understand site usage." If you use a privacy-preserving, cookieless analytics tool, say so; if you use Google Analytics, you must disclose its cookies and tracking below.]

Embedded content (Twitch and YouTube). Our Site embeds live-stream players and status from Twitch and YouTube. When these load, those platforms may set their own cookies and collect data about you (including your IP address and interactions) as if you visited them directly, even if you do not click play. This data is governed by Twitch's and YouTube's/Google's privacy policies. We do not control it.

Cookies and tracking

[Match this to reality and to your Cookie Policy.] We use cookies and similar technologies for: essential Site functionality (required to operate the Site); [analytics, if applicable]; and cookies set by embedded Twitch and YouTube players. See our Cookie Policy for details and your choices. Where required by law, we request your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

How we use information

  • To respond to your inquiries and provide customer service
  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • To display our inventory and link you to listings on marketplaces
  • To show whether we are currently live-streaming
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights
  • [To fulfill and ship direct orders, if applicable]

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:

  • Service providers who help us run the Site (hosting, analytics, email), bound to use it only for that purpose. Our Site is hosted on infrastructure operated by Fleming Data Group LLC, our affiliated technology provider.
  • Marketplaces and platforms you choose to visit through our links (eBay, TCGplayer, PriceCharting, Twitch, YouTube), under their own policies.
  • Legal and safety: when required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect rights and safety.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law (for example, retaining transaction and tax records as required for our business). Contact-form messages are kept [for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and our records].

Your choices and rights

  • You can decline non-essential cookies via our cookie banner and your browser settings.
  • You can email info@yggdrasilcards.com to ask what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to request deletion, and we will respond consistent with applicable law.
  • [If you serve customers in California, the EU/UK, or other regulated regions, add the specific rights those laws grant (CCPA/CPRA, GDPR/UK GDPR) and how to exercise them. A lawyer should confirm which apply to you.]

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. [Trading cards attract minors; discuss with counsel whether you need stronger COPPA-aligned language given your audience.] If you believe a child has provided us information, contact info@yggdrasilcards.com and we will delete it.

Third-party links

The Site links to third-party sites and platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before sharing information with them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
