Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 31, 2026
localcardfinder.com (“we,” “us”) is a community directory of local game stores. We collect as little as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you provide. If you submit a store through our submit form, we collect the store details you enter (name, address, city, state, and optionally website, phone, and notes). The form does not ask for your name or email. Submissions are about stores, not about you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and reliability. We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool to count page views and understand which features are used, it does not track you across other sites or build an advertising profile.
On-device storage.When you save a store as a favorite, we store the store’s ID on your own device using a browser cookie (lcf_favs) and local storage. This is purely functional, it lets the “favorites” filter work and never leaves your device except to render your saved list. It contains no personal information.
How we use information
- To operate and improve the directory.
- To review and publish community-submitted stores.
- To keep the site secure and diagnose problems.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers.
Third-party services
We rely on a small set of providers to run the site:
- Vercel: hosting and cookieless web analytics.
- Neon: database hosting for the store directory.
- Google: store data originates from public Google Places data; map and store information may be displayed accordingly. Admin sign-in uses Google authentication (for site operators only).
- OpenStreetMap: map tiles for the map view.
These providers process data under their own privacy policies.
Your choices
You can clear your favorites at any time by clearing your browser’s cookies and local storage for this site. To request that a store listing be corrected or removed, use the submit form or contact us.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. We’ll revise the “last updated” date above when we do.
