Privacy Policy

Gem State Poker League ("we," "our," or "us") operates the gemstatepoker.com website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information from members of our private poker league.

By using our website and participating in the league, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

This website collects nothing from visitors. It is a set of static pages with no accounts, no sign-in, no forms, and no analytics or advertising scripts.

What the league keeps about members

• Name and nickname
• Email address and phone number, for league communications
• Home address, only if you volunteer to host games
• Tournament results, points, and games hosted
• Profile photo, if you supply one

Those records live in the tournament software the commissioners use to run games, not on this website. What appears here is the published subset described below.

Your information is used to:

• Manage your league membership
• Track tournament results and standings
• Send tournament reminders and league communications
• Coordinate hosting schedules
• Display public standings and statistics (using your nickname)

We do not:

• Sell your information to third parties
• Share your contact information outside the league
• Use your data for advertising purposes
• Share your home address publicly (only shown to confirmed tournament attendees when you host)

Public (visible to anyone)

• Nickname
• Profile photo (if uploaded)
• League statistics (points, rankings, games played)

Never published here

• Real name (the site shows nicknames)
• Email address
• Phone number
• Home address
• Buy-ins, prize pools, payouts, and any dollar amounts

• This website is published as static files. It has no database and no login of its own, so there is nothing here for a visitor to sign in to or for an attacker to query.
• League records are held in the tournament software the commissioners use, under their accounts.
• The site is served over HTTPS.

As a league member, you can:

• Ask a commissioner to correct or update your details
• Choose what optional information to provide
• Ask to be removed from the player directory
• Ask questions about how your data is used

To exercise these rights or ask questions, contact a league commissioner.

We retain your information for as long as you are a league member. Historical tournament results and standings are kept indefinitely as part of the league's records. If you leave the league, you can be removed from the player directory, but historical results will be preserved for league integrity.

This website sets no cookies at all. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party script on any page.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact a league commissioner.
