# Privacy Policy
**RetroSlang, LLC** · Miami, Florida
**Effective date:** 6.4.2026
**Contact:** admin@retroslang.us
RetroSlang, LLC ("RetroSlang," "we," "us") operates retroslang.us, including our online store and the browser game *RetroSlang: The Artifacts* (together, the "Services"). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
## 1. Information We Collect
**Store purchases.** When you place an order we collect your name, email address, shipping address, and order details. Payment card information is processed by our payment processors (such as those provided through the Wix platform) and is never stored on our servers.
**Game submissions ("Drop List").** When you finish an episode of *RetroSlang: The Artifacts* and choose to submit your run, we collect your player name or handle, your email address, and your run statistics (completion time, lives used, run code, and episode). Submitting a run is entirely optional — you can play the full game without providing any information.
**Automatic information.** Like most websites, our site (hosted on Wix) uses cookies and similar technologies that collect standard technical data such as browser type, device information, pages visited, and approximate location. See Section 6 for cookie choices.
## 2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to: fulfill and ship your orders and provide customer service; operate the weekly game leaderboard and Drop List, including displaying your player name (never your email) on the public Top 10; contact weekly winners by email with their QR code for the exclusive merch drop; send occasional RetroSlang news or drop announcements if you have joined the Drop List (you may unsubscribe at any time); and improve our Services, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
## 3. What We Share — and What We Don't
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us run the Services — Wix (website, database, and store hosting), payment processors, shipping carriers, and email delivery services — and only as needed to perform those functions. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
**Public information.** Your chosen player name and run statistics (time and lives) may be displayed publicly on the in-game leaderboard. Choose a handle you're comfortable displaying. Your email address is never displayed publicly.
## 4. Data Retention
Order records are kept as long as needed for accounting and legal purposes. Game submissions are kept while the leaderboard and Drop List remain active. You may request deletion of your submissions at any time (see Section 7).
## 5. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and the Drop List is limited to players 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information to us, contact admin@retroslang.us and we will delete it promptly.
## 6. Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings and through the cookie banner on our site. Disabling cookies may affect store functionality such as your shopping cart.
## 7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of marketing emails. Florida residents have rights under the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, California residents under the CCPA/CPRA, and visitors from the EU/UK under the GDPR. To exercise any of these rights, email **admin@retroslang.us** with your request. Every marketing email we send also includes an unsubscribe link.
## 8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — including the security infrastructure provided by our hosting platform — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
## 9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the latest version, and material changes will be posted on this page.
