Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 1st, 2025
Last Updated: February 1st, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to www.paintballvideos.ca (the “Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated under “JamesDeeMedia.” We also own and redirect the domains Paintballfootage.ca and Paintballfootage.com to this Site. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit or interact with the Site. For additional information regarding disclaimers, user responsibilities, and limitations of liability, please see our Terms of Service.

Our platform is intended primarily for viewing paintball-related content and accessing embedded or linked resources. We generally do not collect personal data via forms or sign-ups, unless explicitly stated (e.g., email inquiries or voluntary user submissions to our Free Agents listing, described below). References or links to third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Infinite Paintball) do not constitute an endorsement or sponsorship. All rights to embedded or linked third-party content remain with their respective owners, and we disclaim any liability arising from such content.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Personal Information Provided Voluntarily
If you contact us directly (e.g., via email) or submit content for display on our Site (e.g., as a paintball creator or free agent), we may receive the personal information you voluntarily include (e.g., your name, email, Instagram handle). We do not operate large-scale sign-up forms or collect personal data for newsletters or marketing lists, unless explicitly stated.

2.2 Non-Personal Data
We may automatically collect non-personal information such as your device type, browser type, IP address (in log form), pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits. This information helps us analyze traffic and improve the Site’s layout and features.

2.3 First-Visit Notification
We use a minimal notification system that triggers once when a new user (from an external source) visits the Site. It sets a simple, non-identifying cookie to avoid repeating notifications. No personal data is stored, displayed, or tracked. The notification only notes the first external visit.

3. Cookies and Tracking

3.1 Cookies
We may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance user experience, analyze traffic, and reduce spam or duplicate notifications. These cookies typically do not contain personal identifiers.

3.2 Consent and Browser Controls
Depending on your region, you may be prompted to accept or reject certain non-essential cookies. You can also control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Please note that rejecting cookies may limit certain functionalities.

3.3 Third-Party Services
Some embedded content or widgets (e.g., YouTube videos) may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies; refer to the relevant third party’s cookie policy for details.

4. Free Agents Listing

4.1 Publicly Displayed, User-Submitted Data
Our “Free Agents” page displays minimal user data (name, division, Instagram handle) that individuals voluntarily submit via a publicly shared Google Sheet (or other external service). We do not store this data on our servers; it is merely embedded from Google’s platform and displayed “as is.”

4.2 Consent, Visibility, and Liability Disclaimer
By adding your details to that Google Sheet, you consent to having the information publicly displayed on our Site. We disclaim liability for any inaccurate or outdated entries, and we do not verify the authenticity of submitted data. We also do not control further distribution or copying by third parties who may view the listing. We specifically disclaim liability for any communications, agreements, or interactions arising from the publicly displayed information, whether you are a free agent or someone contacting a free agent.

4.3 Removal or Correction
If you want to remove or update your data from the Free Agents listing, you may edit or delete your row in the Google Sheet directly (if you have access) or contact us to request removal. We will make reasonable efforts to remove your info promptly, but we are not responsible for any cached or archived copies of the data outside our control.

4.4 U.S. and Canadian Residents
We primarily target U.S. and Canadian visitors for these listings. If you reside outside these regions (e.g., in the EU) and submit data anyway, you acknowledge that it will still be displayed publicly, and you do so at your own risk. We do not actively block EU submissions, but we do not encourage them. If you are an EU resident wishing to exercise GDPR rights, contact us to remove or update your info.

5. How We Use Your Information

5.1 Responding to Inquiries
We may use any personal information you provide (e.g., email) solely to respond to your inquiry. We will not add you to a marketing list without your explicit consent.

5.2 Site Improvements
Non-personal data helps us diagnose technical issues, analyze user flows, and enhance features or layout.

5.3 No Sale of Personal Data
We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third-party marketers.

6. Sharing and Disclosure

6.1 Service Providers
We may use hosting or analytics providers who process certain data on our behalf. They are contractually obligated to protect data under strict confidentiality.

6.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or if necessary to protect our rights or safety (e.g., investigating fraudulent behavior).

6.3 External Services
Purchases, donations, or certain interactive features may be processed through third-party providers (e.g., Shopify). These providers have their own privacy policies and terms. We disclaim any liability for data handling by these external services.

7. Data Storage and Security

7.1 Retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected or as required by law. Non-personal or aggregated data may be kept indefinitely for analytical purposes.

7.2 Security Measures
We take reasonable steps (e.g., password-protected systems, limited access) to safeguard data. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We disclaim liability for breaches beyond our control.

7.3 International Transfers
If we transfer or store data outside your jurisdiction (e.g., Canada or the U.S.), we will take steps to ensure adequate protection in line with applicable laws, but note that different jurisdictions may have varying data protection rules.

8. Your Rights

8.1 Access and Correction
You may request details of the personal information we hold about you. If you find inaccuracies, you can request corrections.

8.2 Deletion
You may ask us to delete personal data we hold about you, unless we need to retain it for legal obligations or legitimate business interests. If you are a free agent wishing to remove your listing info, please see Section 4.3 for more details.

8.3 How to Exercise Rights
Contact us at JamesDeeMedia@hotmail.ca with any requests or concerns. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, consistent with applicable laws.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. External Links & Embeds

Our Site may contain links to external websites or embedded content (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Infinite Paintball). We do not control these platforms or their privacy practices. By using embedded or linked content, you acknowledge that those third parties may collect data in accordance with their own policies, and we disclaim liability related to their content or data practices.

11. Relevant Disclaimers (Aligned with TOS)

The following disclaimers relate specifically to how user data or interactions might overlap with privacy concerns. For broader disclaimers, see our Terms of Service:

“As Is” Basis: The Site is provided “as is.” We do not guarantee error-free or uninterrupted operations.
No Financial Advice: Any information about donations, digital products, or external services is for informational/entertainment purposes only, not professional or investment advice.
Transaction Finality: Purchases or donations made via external platforms (e.g., Shopify) are typically final; we do not process refunds directly.
Liability Limitations: We disclaim liability for actions of third parties, including external platforms that may collect or process your data through embeds, widgets, or donation tools. All interactions with external services are at your own risk.

12. Creator Content and Account Security

Certain areas of the Site allow approved creators to update their own pages or content. This process uses secure credentials managed by JamesDeeMedia. We do not collect additional personal data beyond what is publicly visible (e.g., creator names or codes). Creators are fully responsible for the content they upload and any misuse of their access. Please refer to our Terms of Service for details on creator responsibilities and liabilities.

This Privacy Policy is governed by and interpreted under the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Privacy Policy shall be handled in accordance with the dispute resolution terms set forth in our Terms of Service.

14. Severability

If any portion of this Privacy Policy is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

15. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.” Your continued use of the Site after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
