Privacy & cookies

Updated November 14, 2026. Aces Mucked is operated by Chad Buzinski. Contact cbuz2013@gmail.com for privacy questions or requests.

Searches and saved games

Your saved tournament IDs are stored in this browser’s localStorage under scout-saved. They are not synced to a Aces Mucked account. Remove individual saves using the Save buttons, or clear this site’s browser storage to remove all saved IDs. ZIP codes are sent to our server and then to Zippopotam.us to obtain an approximate location. We do not request device geolocation. Search filters are processed in the browser; the directory data is shared among visitors.

Hosting and access

The website is served through Vercel, with account/community data and photo storage provided by our existing hosted backend. Player login is independent of hosting-provider accounts. Vercel, OpenAI and the hosting infrastructure may process account identity, IP address, request metadata and operational logs to provide access, reliability and security under their own policies. Emailing us sends the message and your email address through your email provider and ours; do not include sensitive documents.

Player accounts and community

Player accounts use email and password, with Google or Facebook sign-in when those providers are configured. We store account email, a password hash for email accounts, session records and provider identifiers. Your email is not shown in player search. Display names, bios, profile photos, hometowns, follows, tournament check-ins, feed posts, tournament updates, likes, comments, messages and photos are stored on our server and shared with signed-in players. Check-ins are voluntary and may reveal which tournament you are attending. Check out to remove a check-in; delete your own chat posts to remove their attached photos. Blocking hides a player’s content from you. Reports are available to the site moderator. Browser photo uploads are resized and re-encoded before posting; avoid sharing private information or photos without permission. Contact us to request account or stored-data deletion.

Advertising status

The Google AdSense script is installed on the public tournament finder and player guides for site review and advertising integration. Google receives technical request information when the script loads and may use cookies or similar technologies and identifiers to provide, secure and measure its services. Google and its partners may use information about visits to this and other websites to personalize advertising when enabled and permitted. Community, login, chat and photo pages do not load this advertising script. AdSense approval and account-side consent setup remain separate steps; script installation is not a claim that Google has approved the site. No separate third-party analytics tracker is installed.

Third-party sources

Room schedules and structure sheets are on external websites. Opening them sends a request to that provider, which handles it under its own privacy policy. Zippopotam.us also receives ZIP lookup requests from our server. Review those services’ policies when using them.

Control and requests

You can use the directory without saving games or entering a ZIP. Clear local storage in your browser to delete saved games. For questions about information you emailed us, write to the contact above and describe the request without sending unnecessary sensitive details. This service is intended for adults, not children. This notice will be updated when data practices change.
