Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2, 2026

We don't sell your data. We don't trade it. We don't hand it to third parties so they can spam you. Here's exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

1. Who this applies to

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site (like staying logged in) won't work without them.

9. Security

We use HTTPS, encrypted storage, and access controls to protect your data. Payments are handled entirely by Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant. We never store card numbers.

No system is 100% secure. If there's ever a breach that affects your data, we'll notify you promptly and tell you exactly what happened.

10. Children's privacy

Our services are for business owners and are not directed at anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted data to us, contact us and we'll delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

If we make a meaningful change to how we handle your data, we'll notify members by email before it takes effect. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the current version.

Continuing to use RPG after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
