Privacy Policy

This policy describes how GlobeIce handles personal data across the public site, Hockey OS workspaces, official GlobeIce pages, organization-managed official pages, Academy, Marketplace, Jobs, and related admin and governance tooling.

GlobeIce receives data directly from users and organizations, from public source submissions, from platform usage, from authentication and security flows, and from trusted operational providers that help GlobeIce run hosting, identity, storage, analytics, moderation, and payments.

GlobeIce uses data to run accounts and workspaces, present public hockey information, route intake into the right governance lanes, personalize language and region defaults, prevent abuse and fraud, maintain canonical data quality, support payments where enabled, and improve product reliability.

GlobeIce may look at browser language, previously stored language preference, and region or country signals to choose a default locale. GlobeIce should prefer a user-selected language once set. If no better signal exists, GlobeIce defaults to English.

GlobeIce may use cookies or similar storage for session continuity, login state, security, language preference, workspace context, product performance, and moderation reliability. GlobeIce should not use cookies only because they are convenient; they should map to an actual platform need.

If a user, club, federation, arena, or other organization publishes information on GlobeIce, that content can become publicly visible. Public contributions and moderation records may also remain in governance systems for audit, trust, quality, and legal reasons even after a page is changed.

When GlobeIce enables commerce, billing, subscriptions, payments, jobs, or marketplace workflows, GlobeIce may process transaction references, billing metadata, reporting context, trust signals, and safety events. Sensitive payment handling may be delegated to a payment provider such as Stripe instead of being stored directly by GlobeIce.

GlobeIce may share data with service providers that help run the platform, with organizations where the user has a legitimate role or relationship, with moderation or legal counterparties where required, and with the public where a page, listing, profile, or official workspace is intentionally published.

GlobeIce retains data for as long as it is needed for platform operation, canonical integrity, moderation, contractual performance, fraud prevention, audits, or legal obligations. Retention can differ between account data, payments, moderation evidence, public history, and editorial records.

GlobeIce uses access controls, role-based workspace permissions, moderation queues, and audit-oriented admin tooling to reduce misuse. No internet service can promise perfect security, but GlobeIce should be built so that access, publication, and sensitive actions are visible and governable.

Depending on jurisdiction, users may have rights to access, correct, export, restrict, or delete personal data, and to object to some processing. GlobeIce should also provide practical account controls where possible, including language preference, follow settings, and organization role governance.

GlobeIce may update this policy as the platform grows. When the policy changes materially, GlobeIce should publish the updated language here and align product behavior with the updated policy rather than leaving a mismatch between words and implementation.
