Privacy policy.

Tools and saved gear

The skate-size calculator, deal checker, and gift finder calculate results in your browser. Their input values are held in page memory; these tools do not submit those values to a Gear Playbook server or save them in browser storage. The guide-directory search also filters the page in your browser.

“Save to my kit” stores product identifiers in your browser’s local storage so your shortlist can remain between visits. It does not create an account or send a saved-kit record to our database. Remove items in My kit, or clear this site’s data in your browser settings to remove the stored list. If browser storage is unavailable, the list lasts only for that visit.

The hockey first practice planner stores equipment choices in this browser. Reset choices clears the plan, and Print plan opens your browser’s print dialog. Gear Playbook receives neither your choices nor what you print.

These features do not ask for a child’s name or contact details. Use equipment sizes and buying preferences without adding identifying information.

Searches and shared links

The main site search and equipment catalog put search text, sport filters, sorting, and comparison selections in the page address. A shared kit link includes the selected product identifiers. These addresses can remain in browser history and reveal those choices to anyone who receives the link.

Filtering happens in your browser, but opening or reloading an address sends its URL parameters to our hosting service. “Copy this view” and “Copy list link” copy the address to your clipboard when you select them. Keep names, email addresses, and other personal information out of searches and shared URLs.

Newsletter preferences

Newsletter delivery is being connected. When signup opens, you can choose sport editions and explicitly agree to receive them. We use Resend to process your email address, selected sports, confirmation status and consent record. New subscriptions remain inactive until you open the confirmation page and choose to confirm.

Confirmation links expire after 24 hours and contain an encrypted confirmation token. Treat a link as private: anyone with access to it may confirm the selection. The confirmation page does not activate a subscription just by opening it. Hosting systems may process its URL to deliver the page.

Newsletter emails include an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops future broadcasts; a minimal contact and consent record may remain with the email provider to honor your choice. Signup and confirmation requests are limited to reduce abuse. We do not use a newsletter signup to create a shopping account or ask for a child’s contact details.

Read Resend’s privacy policy for its processing practices. Contact hello@tinyshelf.app with a newsletter data or deletion request.

Hosting, cookies, and site operation

Vercel hosts the site and processes requests needed to deliver pages and protect the service. Request information can include your IP address, browser information, requested URL and search parameters, time, and response status. Hosting logs and diagnostics help operate the site and investigate errors or abuse. Their availability and retention depend on the hosting service and its configuration.

We have not added a third-party analytics tracker, advertising pixel, or advertising-cookie script to the current site. The saved-kit storage described above is a separate browser feature. Hosting security features and external services may use their own technologies; this notice does not mean every service you encounter is cookie-free.

Vercel’s privacy notice explains its processing, international transfers, and privacy choices. Its runtime-log documentation describes request details available in hosting logs.

Retailers and affiliate links

An ordinary retailer link takes you to the named seller. That seller receives your visit and applies its own privacy policy, cookies, and checkout terms. An ordinary retailer link is identified separately from an affiliate link.

When an affiliate link is enabled, it includes a referral identifier so the retailer or affiliate program can attribute a purchase and calculate a commission. Those third parties, including Amazon when Amazon affiliate links are enabled, may collect information directly from you and place or recognize cookies or use similar technologies. Their sites may also serve content and advertising. A link does not give Gear Playbook access to your retailer account or payment-card details.

Review the destination’s privacy and cookie choices before shopping. For Amazon, see its Privacy Notice and Your Ads Privacy Choices. You can also manage cookies through your browser. Our affiliate disclosure explains how shopping links may support the site.

Direct checkout and Stripe

There are currently no products available for direct checkout on Gear Playbook. Purchases through retailer links are handled by the retailer.

If a product is offered for direct checkout, the checkout button sends its selected item and quantity to our server and opens a Stripe-hosted payment page. Stripe processes the payment, contact, and shipping information entered there. Our order system records item details, totals, order and Stripe transaction identifiers, and payment status to manage that order. Payment-card entry takes place on Stripe’s page. See Stripe’s privacy policy and how shopping works for the separate purchase routes.

Contact and your choices

If you email hello@tinyshelf.app, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use that correspondence to answer and follow up on your request; email providers also process delivery and storage. Please do not email payment-card details.

You can browse without saving a kit, clear this site’s browser storage, and choose whether to follow shopping links. Contact the same address with privacy questions or requests concerning personal information you have sent us. For information held by a retailer or payment provider, use that provider’s privacy controls or contact details.

We will revise this notice when the site’s data handling changes and show the updated date on this page.
