Privacy policy
Last updated November 2026. Placeholder text: have a lawyer review before launch.
What we collect
- Organizers: organization name, email address, password (stored only as a one-way hash), currency, and the grids you create.
- Square buyers: the name you enter (shown publicly on the grid), your email address, and optionally a phone number.
- Payments: grid fees are processed by Stripe. We never see or store card numbers.
- Technical: a single essential login cookie for organizers, and basic server logs used to keep the service running and secure.
How we use it
To run your account and grids, send transactional emails (reservation confirmations, drawn numbers, password resets), prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information and we do not send marketing email to square buyers.
Who we share it with
A buyer's contact details are shared with the organization running that grid so they can collect payment and contact winners. Buyer names are visible to anyone with the grid link. We use service providers to operate the site: Stripe (payments), Resend (email), Cloudflare (bot protection), Netlify (hosting) and Neon (database). Some of these providers may store data outside Canada, including in the United States.
How long we keep it
Account and grid data is kept while your account is active. Deleting a grid deletes its squares and buyer details. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.
Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing privacy@mvpsquares.com. Square buyers can also ask the organization running the grid to remove their details.
