Privacy Policy

Northland Creative Wonders (NCW) is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors to our website. We have established this Privacy Policy to explain what information we collect through The Black Book ("website") and how it is used.

Lawful Basis for Processing

The identifying information we collect during registration is required by contractual necessity to provide the website service to you. We need to be able to authenticate you, bill you, and send you emails critical to the operation of the Website.

Your consent is required before we will use any of your identifying information for any other purpose. The sections below detail what information we collect and the consequences of providing, or not providing, consent.

Types of Information We Collect and How Each Is Used

Registration Information

You may visit the portions of the Website that do not require an account anonymously, however the functionality available to you will be extremely limited.

We collect your e-mail address (and maybe a password) when you register with the website. If you use a social media service to log into the Website, we collect a unique id from that service as well as your email address if it is provided by the service.

Any of the registration information we collect from you may be used to authenticate you to the service, personalize your experience, allow you to creeate and manage characters and campaigns, or to send transactional emails related to your interactions with the Website. These transactional emails are for things like resetting forgotten passwords, or breach notification. You do not have the option not to receive these transactional message. We need to be able to inform you of critical information as described above.

If you consent, the email address you provide during registration may also be used to send you information and updates pertaining the Website and your use of it. You may withdraw this consent at any time. If at any time you would like to withdraw consent for receiving informational emails, simply unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of any such email, or go to the "Your Account" page to manage your email preferences.

Billing Information

We contract all billing services to a third party (Stripe), whom we believe to be fully capable and compliant with all relevant regulations. We do not receive or store any billing information on infrastructure managed by NCW.
