Who we are
We’re Quest & Cartridge, a website focused on retro gaming, tabletop, and anything that involves rolling dice.
Our website address is: https://www.questandcartridge.com. More likely than not, that’s where you are right now. If not, we’ll I’m honestly surprised that your find a copy of our privacy policy somewhere else.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
We reserve the full right to refer to, comment on, make fun of, use in articles, display in marketing, or do whatever we want to anything said by anyone in any comment on this website. We want our comments section to be civil and ideally helpful, but if you go off like a loose cannon consider this an advanced warning that it will probably piss us off and when that happens we might not play nice.
Basically, don’t be a dick in our comments and we’ll try to do the same.
Media
Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website, whether in the form of alt text, metadata, or even the original files. If you’re using this site, you likely won’t be able to upload any media of your own unless you’re one of the folks publishing things behind the scenes.
In the case where media uploaded on this site is the property of the folks behind Quest & Cartridge (such as photos we upload from events and things like that), we would highly appreciate it if you asked for permission before downloading or using it elsewhere (and if you do, then also please attribute it to its original source with a nice link and/or mention).
We know that the internet is a bit of a Wild West when it comes to properly attributing images, but we also believe in sharing. Take it as our promise that we’ll do our best not to poach any images from somewhere else without attributing it and we hope all of you using the site will do the same.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, depending on where you are or what your browser is, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year – or whenever it is that cookies disappear. I know they’ll eventually go the way of the dinosaur, but in the meantime we’re all stuck with,
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. And you probably don’t need to worry about this unless you work with us.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you share comments, please refer to my grumpy assertions above. Remember, anything you post on the internet can be read by other folks on the internet (sometimes, it bears reminding I suppose).
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. Take a moment to consider that (any by this point you can tell that I’m someone who’s still suffering from some form of comment related PTSD – remember how I told you there was another site in the past? Yeah, definitely some sort of comment trauma going on here.) This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. In other words, please ask us nicely.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
It’s also possible because it’s the internet that someone, somewhere, is stealing your data without us even realizing. Don’t ask me how it works, I’m just paranoid.
