Privacy Policy

A plain-English look at what data is used and why.

This page explains how the live site and in-person cafe operations handle data today. If those workflows change, this policy should change with them.

Contact Data

Only when needed

Staff may collect names or contact details for receipts, support, or guardian coordination.

Payment Data

No full card storage

Full card details are handled by payment processors rather than stored on cafe servers.

Retention

As required

Retention depends on whether the record is financial, operational, or needed for a dispute.

Deletion Requests

Redaction where possible

Required financial and dispute records may remain after optional details are redacted.

Collection

What we collect

The categories below reflect the public website and in-person cafe operations.

Website usage data

Like most websites, the site may log IP address, browser or device metadata, and security events needed for troubleshooting and abuse prevention.

Visit details

In-person records may include customer name, optional contact details, setup type, play duration, payment total, and staff notes needed to run the floor.

Guardian and player data

For younger guests, player names or adult contact details may be recorded only when needed for operational clarity.

Payment records

Receipts and payment records may include totals, tax, payment status, and processor references. Full card numbers are not stored by cafe servers.

Use

How we use your information

Personal information is used to run in-person sessions, handle receipts, and keep operational records accurate.

Cafe operations

We use information to seat guests, track paid time, support staff handoffs, and answer visit questions.

Receipts and support

Contact details may be used for receipts, refund questions, dispute support, or follow-up requested by the guest.

Support and issue resolution

Payment status, duration, setup details, and operational notes may be used to resolve disputes, refunds, equipment issues, or other support needs.

Security and fraud prevention

We use website, payment, and operational data to reduce abuse, investigate suspicious activity, and protect guests, staff, and cafe systems.

Providers

Services that help run the experience

Some parts of the product depend on third-party services. Their role is limited to the part of the workflow they support.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare hosts the site and supports infrastructure like Workers, D1, Queues, and related platform services.

Payment processors

Payment processors handle card payment authorization and related processor records. JB Gaming Cafe does not store full payment card details on its own servers.

Google

If you open a directions link or map card on the site, Google may receive the address you choose to open.

Minors

How guardian and child data is handled

The cafe is designed to minimize child data and keep an adult responsible whenever younger players are involved.

No child website identity

Players under 13 do not need a public website identity to play.

Guardian remains the contact

For under-13 players, the parent or guardian is the contact point for payment, refunds, conduct, and pickup questions.

Only needed child data

Child or player names are collected only when operationally necessary and are treated as optional operational data.

Public site and operator tools

The public site avoids exposing station details, while protected operator tools only surface what is necessary to run the floor.

Retention

How long data is kept

Different categories of information have different retention windows because some records are required for financial compliance, dispute support, or operational audit history.

Financial and visit records

Financial snapshots, payment totals, refund records, and audit logs may be retained for financial compliance and dispute support.

Optional operational fields

Fields such as customer phone, player names, and staff notes may be redacted or deleted when they are no longer needed, unless tied to an unresolved dispute, refund, or legal hold.

Temporary operational data

Temporary operational data may be cleared after the main service and dispute windows pass.

Guardian and child data

Minor-related data follows the same minimized retention approach and is kept no longer than necessary for the visit and retention rules above.

Requests

Deletion and redaction requests

Privacy requests are handled with the understanding that some data can be removed while other records must be preserved for legal or financial reasons.

Deletion requests

When possible, deletion requests remove or redact optional non-financial data.

Records that may remain

Required visit, payment, refund, and audit records may remain because those records support financial compliance, fraud review, and dispute handling.

Active dispute limits

Open disputes, refunds, chargebacks, or legal holds may delay deletion or redaction.

Policy changes

If retention rules or operational workflows change, this page should be updated alongside the product behavior so the public explanation stays accurate.

Security

Security measures and policy updates

No system can promise perfect security, but the platform includes layered controls to protect customer and operational data.

Access control

Protected operator tools are separated between admin and owner surfaces, with Cloudflare Access gating entry before the app loads and the app itself limiting owner-only pages.

Payment safeguards

Payment records use processor references and operational reconciliation to keep money and visit records aligned.

Operational auditability

Sensitive actions like manual check-ins and visit note changes create audit records inside the protected admin system.

Page updates

This privacy page is updated whenever public website or cafe operations change in a way that affects personal data.

This page reflects the current live privacy behavior. If public website, payment, or retention workflows change, this page should be revised alongside those changes.
