Skate Terminal policies

Privacy built for a connected skating world.

This policy explains how Skate Terminal collects, uses, stores,
shares, and protects information across listings, accounts, claims,
reminders, calendars, routes, purchases, and website operations.


Last updated: June 20, 2026

Privacy at a glance

The practical overview.

Skate Terminal is a global skating directory. We use information to
operate the website, maintain useful listings, deliver features you
request, protect the platform, and communicate about accounts, saved
events, listings, and claims.

You control optional features

Account creation, saved-event reminders, calendar connections,
location access, and claim confirmation are initiated by you or
provided with clear controls.

We do not sell personal data

We do not sell personal information for money. Information is
shared only as described here—for service delivery, security,
legal requirements, public listings, or at your direction.

Listings may be public

Event, place, community, organizer, route, image, logo, website,
and social information intended for directory publication may be
visible to anyone.

You may request privacy help

Depending on your location, you may request access, correction,
deletion, portability, restriction, or other action regarding
personal information associated with you.


Section 1

Scope and Who Is Responsible

This Privacy Policy applies to SkateTerminal.com and the services
and features operated through the website, including accounts,
listings, claims, saved events, reminders, calendars, maps,
route tools, contact forms, purchases, and administrative
listing-management systems.

Skate Terminal operates the website and acts as the controller
or business responsible for personal information where applicable.
Independent event organizers, venues, shops, registration systems,
and external websites are responsible for their own data practices.


Section 2

Information We Collect

The information collected depends on how you use Skate Terminal.
Categories may include:

Category Examples
Account and profile Name, username, email, encrypted password credentials, profile image, biography, preferences, roles, and account status.
Listings and submissions Event, place, community, organizer, venue, schedule, registration, category, description, address, coordinates, website, phone, email, social links, images, logos, videos, and related listings.
Claims and verification Claim requests, listing ownership, organizer email, verification or invitation tokens, claim status, responses, approval history, and account-creation choice.
Saved events and reminders Saved listings, reminder timing, subscriptions, change-alert preferences, email status, queue entries, delivery attempts, suppressions, and unsubscribe choices.
Calendar connections Connection status, authorization tokens, calendar identifiers, synchronized event identifiers, event title, date, time, location, and sync history required to provide the feature.
Routes, maps, and location Addresses, map searches, coordinates, optional device location, uploaded GPX files, route points, distance, elevation, directions, and route settings.
Commerce and billing Orders, products, billing details, transaction references, subscription or promotion status, refunds, and tax/accounting records. Full payment-card data is normally handled by the payment provider.
Communications Contact messages, support requests, correction requests, feedback, replies to organizer outreach, and related correspondence.
Technical and usage IP address, timestamps, browser, device, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, searches, approximate location derived from IP, cookies, security events, and diagnostic logs.

Section 3

Where Information Comes From

  • Directly from you when you register, submit or claim a listing, save an event, connect a calendar, upload a route, make a purchase, or contact us.
  • From organizers and contributors who submit information about events, venues, places, communities, or related people and organizations.
  • From public sources, including official websites, public social profiles, event pages, public calendars, venue pages, and registration pages.
  • Automatically through cookies, server logs, security systems, analytics, and normal website operation.
  • From service providers, such as payment processors, email services, calendar platforms, login providers, map services, hosting providers, and anti-spam or security tools.

Section 4

How We Use Information

  • Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve Skate Terminal.
  • Create, display, verify, update, relate, archive, and correct listings.
  • Provide accounts, claims, saved events, reminders, calendars, maps, route tools, imports, exports, and user preferences.
  • Send account, security, service, reminder, claim, organizer-verification, and transactional messages.
  • Process orders, subscriptions, promoted listings, sponsored placements, refunds, and related accounting.
  • Detect duplicates, spam, fraud, abuse, security incidents, and inaccurate or stale information.
  • Measure performance, understand use, improve search and discovery, and plan new features.
  • Comply with law, enforce agreements, protect rights and safety, and resolve disputes.

Section 5

Public Listings and User Content

Listings and related content are intended to help the public
discover skating activities and resources. Information such as
event names, organizer names, public business contacts, dates,
addresses, maps, routes, websites, social links, descriptions,
images, logos, reviews, comments, and related listings may be
visible publicly and indexed by search engines.

Do not place private, sensitive, or confidential personal
information in public listing fields. When you submit content
about another person or organization, you confirm that you have
permission to share it or that it is lawfully available for the
intended directory purpose.

Public listing information may remain in search caches, backups,
archives, or third-party shares for a period after it is corrected
or removed from Skate Terminal.


Section 6

AI-Assisted Research, Import, and Review Tools

Skate Terminal may use automated or AI-assisted tools to locate
public listing candidates, organize public information, identify
possible duplicates, compare current and proposed listing values,
normalize fields, suggest relationships, or help administrators
review imports and updates.

These tools may process public page content, URLs, listing fields,
source references, images, and administrator instructions. Proposed
changes are intended to be reviewed through controlled administrative
workflows before publication or application.

Skate Terminal does not use AI-assisted listing tools to make
decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects
about individuals.


Section 7

Listing Claims and Event-Owner Outreach

For imported events or listings associated with a public organizer
email, Skate Terminal may send a limited service message asking the
organizer to review the listing, confirm whether information is
current, report that the listing is not theirs, or begin the
listing-claim process.

Claim invitations may contain a signed, time-limited link associated
with the listing and contact email. Depending on the selected
workflow, the recipient may register or log in through the normal
claim process, or may explicitly confirm ownership before an account
is matched or created using the organizer email. Merely opening an
email or visiting an invitation link does not by itself create an
account or transfer ownership.

We may record invitation status, delivery attempts, confirmation
choice, claim status, approval history, and timestamps to operate
the claim process, prevent repeated outreach, and protect listings.
Claim requests may require administrator approval or a configured
claim package.


Section 8

Saved Events, Reminders, Alerts, and Email Delivery

If you save an event or subscribe to a reminder, Skate Terminal may
use your account or email address, selected timing, event identifier,
event date, and delivery preferences to send the requested message.
Optional change alerts may notify you when selected event information
changes.

Email systems may maintain queue status, sending attempts, delivery
response, failure or cancellation reason, rate-limit records,
unsubscribe status, and diagnostic logs. These records help deliver
requested messages, prevent duplicate or stale email, investigate
failures, and protect the system from abuse.

You can stop optional reminder or outreach messages through the
controls provided in the message or website. We may still send
essential account, security, transaction, claim-status, or legal
messages when necessary.


Section 9

Google Calendar and Other Calendar Integrations

When you choose to connect Google Calendar or another supported
calendar service, Skate Terminal requests only the authorization
and data reasonably necessary to provide the selected calendar
feature. This may include authorization tokens, calendar identifiers,
event identifiers, and the title, date, time, location, description,
or link needed to create, update, or remove synchronized calendar
entries at your direction.

Calendar data and authorization are used only to provide and
maintain the calendar integration, troubleshoot it, protect the
service, and comply with law. Google user data is not sold, used
for unrelated advertising, or transferred for unrelated profiling.
Access is limited to the purposes disclosed here and in the
authorization screen.

You can disconnect an integration through Skate Terminal when that
control is available and can revoke Google access through your
Google Account permissions. Revoking access may prevent future sync;
calendar entries already created in your account may remain until
you remove them.

Manage Google access

Review and revoke connected-app permissions directly in your Google Account.

Section 10

Maps, Location, Addresses, and GPX Routes

Skate Terminal may process listing addresses, venue locations,
map coordinates, route points, distance, elevation, street or trail
information, and uploaded GPX files to display maps, build routes,
calculate route information, generate directions, or create
downloadable route files and printouts.

Device location is requested only when you choose a feature such
as “use my location” or map centering and your browser grants
permission. Location permission can be changed through your browser
or device settings.

Map tiles, geocoding, elevation, routing, and address-search
providers may receive technical data such as IP address, browser
information, coordinates, or search text needed to return the
requested map result. Their own privacy policies apply.

GPX files and public route listings can reveal precise locations.
Do not publish a private home address, sensitive access point, or
route information you are not authorized to share.


Section 11

Orders, WooCommerce, Payments, and Refunds

If you purchase a product, claim package, listing upgrade,
promotion, subscription, or other paid service directly from
Skate Terminal, we may process order details, billing name and
address, email, purchased items, transaction references, payment
status, refunds, and tax or accounting records.

Payment-card or bank information is generally submitted directly
to the configured payment processor rather than stored in full by
Skate Terminal. The payment provider and WooCommerce-related
services may process information under their own policies.

Purchases completed through an independent organizer, ticketing
platform, venue, shop, or external website are handled by that
third party and are subject to its privacy and refund practices.


Section 12

Cookies, Local Storage, Analytics, and Logs

Skate Terminal and its service providers may use cookies, local
storage, pixels, server logs, analytics, and similar technologies
to keep users signed in, remember preferences, maintain carts,
protect forms, prevent abuse, measure performance, understand
navigation, and improve the website.

Some cookies are necessary for requested features. Other analytics
or optional technologies may depend on your region and available
consent controls. You can also manage cookies through your browser;
disabling them may prevent account, cart, map, calendar, saved-event,
or preference features from working correctly.


Section 13

Embedded Content, Social Links, and External Websites

Listings and pages may include embedded videos, maps, registration
forms, calendars, social posts, images, widgets, or links from
external services. Embedded content can behave as though you visited
the provider directly and may collect data, set cookies, or track
interactions according to the provider’s own policy.

Skate Terminal is not responsible for the privacy, security,
accuracy, or practices of independent organizers or external
websites. Review their policies before submitting personal or
payment information.


Section 14

How We Share Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

  • Publicly, when information is submitted or maintained for public directory publication.
  • With service providers that support hosting, email delivery, security, analytics, maps, routes, calendars, media, payments, customer support, backups, and website operations.
  • At your direction, such as synchronizing an event to your connected calendar or publishing a listing you submit.
  • For legal and safety reasons, when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, enforce terms, investigate abuse, or protect rights, property, safety, and service integrity.
  • During a business change, such as a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, or transfer of website assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Skate Terminal does not sell personal information for money.


Section 15

Legal Bases for Processing

Where privacy law requires a legal basis, Skate Terminal relies
on one or more of the following, depending on the context:

  • Contract or requested service, such as accounts, claims, reminders, calendar sync, orders, or support.
  • Consent, such as optional integrations, device-location permission, or optional communications where required.
  • Legitimate interests, such as operating a useful public directory, maintaining accurate public listings, preventing abuse, securing the website, and improving services, balanced against individual rights.
  • Legal obligations, including tax, accounting, consumer protection, legal process, and compliance duties.

Section 16

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the
purposes described in this policy, including providing services,
maintaining listing history and integrity, honoring preferences,
preventing abuse, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and
meeting legal, tax, accounting, and security obligations.

  • Account information may be retained while the account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward.
  • Public listing content may remain until corrected, archived, transferred, or removed.
  • Reminder, outreach, claim, and email-delivery records may remain long enough to operate the feature, honor opt-outs, prevent duplicate sending, and investigate failures or abuse.
  • Signed claim or verification links expire according to configured security settings.
  • Order and transaction records may be retained for tax, accounting, dispute, and legal requirements.
  • Backups may retain deleted information temporarily until they rotate out under normal backup schedules.

Section 17

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have some
or all of the following rights:

Request information about personal data associated with you.
Correction
Correct inaccurate account or listing information.

Request deletion, subject to legal and operational exceptions.

lawful purposes.

Section 18

Security

Skate Terminal uses reasonable technical and organizational
measures intended to protect information, such as access controls,
authentication, signed and expiring links, validation, rate limits,
backups, logging, software updates, and security or anti-abuse tools.

No website, transmission, storage system, or security measure is
completely secure. Use a unique password, protect account access,
avoid placing sensitive information in public fields, and contact
us if you believe your account or data has been compromised.


Section 19

Children

Skate Terminal is not directed to children under 13, and we do not
knowingly collect personal information from children under 13
without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child has
provided personal information, contact us so we can review and
take appropriate action.


Section 20

International Users and Data Transfers

Skate Terminal is available globally. Information may be stored or
processed in the United States and other countries where Skate
Terminal or its providers operate. Those countries may have privacy
laws different from the laws where you live.

Where required, we rely on appropriate contractual, consent-based,
or legal transfer mechanisms and service-provider safeguards.


Section 21

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when features, providers, practices, or
legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted here
with a new “Last updated” date. When required, we may also provide
an additional notice or request renewed consent before using
information for a materially different purpose.


Section 22

listing-removal requests, or account issues, contact Skate Terminal
