RIP OR SHIP! collects the minimum amount of information needed to run the site. We don't sell or rent personal data. Here's the full picture.
1. What we collect
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous session token | First visit to /rip | Stores ticket / point / streak state in our database. HttpOnly cookie. |
| Display handle | You claim a leaderboard slot | Public on the leaderboard. |
| You claim a leaderboard slot | So we can DM you if you win a free seat. | |
| Order info (name, address, payment) | You buy a break slot or a Vault card | To process and ship your order. |
| Standard server logs | Always | IP address and request metadata, kept short-term for abuse prevention. |
2. How we use it
- To run the engagement loop (tickets, points, streak, leaderboard).
- To contact winners about their free-seat prize.
- To process orders and ship cards.
- To send you the occasional update if you opted in via the "Get Notified" form. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- To prevent abuse, fraud, and exploits of the engagement loop.
3. What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your data.
- We don't run third-party advertising trackers on the site.
- We don't share your email with anyone outside our payment / shipping / email-delivery service providers (and only the minimum data they need to do their job).
4. Cookies
We use one essential cookie: rs_token. It's HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax, and lasts up to a year. Its only purpose is to remember your Free Rip session. It does not track you across other sites.
If we add analytics or any other cookies, this page will be updated and you'll see a banner.
5. Your rights
You can ask us to:
- Show you what data we have on you.
- Delete your account and all associated data.
- Correct inaccurate data.
- Opt out of optional emails.
Email us and we'll respond within a reasonable time.
6. Children
The site is intended for users 13 and older. If you're under 13, please don't submit personal data — and if you've already done so, ask a parent or guardian to contact us for removal.
7. Changes
We'll update this policy when our practices change. Material changes will be flagged on the site.
