Privacy Policy

Last Updated:

Welcome, fellow collectors, gamers, and strategists. At Atomicempire Outlet, we value your passion for collectible card games, comics, and strategic gameplay as much as we value your trust. Just as we meticulously sleeve and protect your valuable card singles, we are committed to safeguarding your personal information with the same collector-grade care. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and share your data when you visit atomicempireshop.com and use our services.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. We serve a global community, and our practices are designed to comply with international privacy standards, including those relevant to our primary service regions in North America, Europe, and Australia.

1. The Information We Collect

To provide you with a seamless experience—from browsing our curated selection to securing your checkout—we collect information that falls into two categories:

A. Information You Provide Directly:

• Account & Purchase Data: When you create an account, place an order, or make a trade, we collect your name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number, and payment details (processed securely by our partners).
• Community & Communication Data: If you contact our team of fellow collectors at [email protected], subscribe to updates, or participate in our community, we collect your contact details and correspondence.
• Preferences: Your collecting interests, saved payment methods (encrypted), and order history to personalize your “command center” dashboard.

B. Information Collected Automatically:

• Technical & Device Data: Your IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system when you browse our site.
• Usage Data: Pages you view, items you search for, time spent on site, and how you interact with our menus (e.g., Board & Card, Card Singles, CCGs). This helps us curate a better selection for strategic players.
• Cookie & Tracking Data: See Section 6 for detailed information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the precision of a tournament-grade strategy to enhance your experience:

• To Process & Fulfill Your Orders: To complete your purchase of card singles, comics, accessories, or board games, including payment processing, shipping, and customer support.
• To Protect Your Transactions: To implement SSL encryption and security measures, acting as the “Dragon Shield sleeve for your financial data.”
• To Improve Your Experience: To personalize our website, recommend products (like Card Accessories or CCGs), and optimize site performance for our global community.
• To Communicate With You: To send order confirmations, shipping updates, and (with your consent) news about new arrivals, special finds, and community updates for passionate collectors.
• For Legal & Security Purposes: To comply with applicable laws, prevent fraud, and protect the security of our website and community.

3. Sharing & Disclosure of Your Information

We treat your data like a rare, mint-condition card—with utmost care and only share it under specific, strategic circumstances:

• Trusted Service Partners: We share data with essential partners who help us operate, such as payment processors (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, PayPal), shipping carriers, and IT service providers. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with fraud prevention.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or sale, your data may be transferred as part of the transaction, with notice provided.
• With Your Consent: We will share data for any other purpose only with your explicit permission.

We do not sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data’s security is our top priority. We implement measures designed to protect it throughout its lifecycle:

• Global Storage: Data is stored on secure servers located in regions that serve our global customer base, primarily in the US and Europe.
• Encryption: We use industry-standard SSL encryption for all data transmissions, especially during checkout.
• Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who need it to perform their duties.
• Retention: We retain your data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, or support your ongoing collecting journey through your account history.

5. Your Rights & Choices

As a valued member of our community, you have control over your information, much like you control your collecting strategy. Depending on your location, your rights may include:

• Access & Portability: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information in your account dashboard.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal limitations.
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time via the link in our emails or your account settings.
• Objection & Restriction: Object to or restrict certain processing activities.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable laws.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

• Essential Cookies: Required for core functions like secure login, shopping cart, and checkout processing.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how enthusiasts like you navigate our menus (e.g., from “Collectible Card Games” to “Card Singles”) so we can improve site layout and product discovery.

7. International Data Transfers

We serve collectors and gamers worldwide. Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States. We ensure such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to maintain an equivalent level of data protection.
