Effective October 5, 2026
Hudley Entertainment, a Hudley Enterprise, LLC company, collects only the information needed to run the store and the Hudley Arcade, deliver purchases, send the newsletter you asked for, answer inquiries, prepare website-service proposals, process approved payments, and deliver projects.
Contact details, business and project requirements, intake answers, account records, store order history and download delivery records, approval history, support messages, and payment status. Stripe processes payment-card information; Hudley does not store full card numbers.
Subscribing to This Week in Albany, Georgia stores your email address, used solely to send the weekly issue and service messages about it — never sold or shared for marketing. Issues are sent through Resend. Every issue carries a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can also reply or email us; either way your address is removed from the list.
We count visits to this site ourselves rather than handing the job to an advertising network. No cookies are set for analytics, and nothing we store identifies you. For each page view we record the page, the site that linked you (address and path only, never its query string), any campaign tag in the link, and a two-letter country code.
To count a returning reader within a single day without knowing who they are, your network address and browser are combined with a secret that is replaced every day, and only the resulting fingerprint is stored. It cannot be turned back into your address or browser, and once the day passes and its secret is discarded the fingerprint can never be linked to anyone — including by us. The same person visiting tomorrow is counted as someone new.
Separately, to stop floods of automated requests, we keep a short-lived code made from your network address and a secret key. It is used for nothing else and is deleted within two days of your last request.
Games. Arcade games run in your browser. Your progress, settings, and best scores are saved in your browser's storage on your device and are never sent to Hudley. Clearing your browser data deletes them.
Likes. When you press Like or Not for me, we set a cookie named arcade_voter that holds a random code, lasts one year, and is used only on Arcade pages. We store a scrambled (one-way hashed) copy of that code with your vote so you can change or clear it. It is not linked to your name or account, and votes are shown only as a combined score.
Tell Hudley. A message you send goes privately to the Hudley team with its category and the game it is about. It is never shown on the site, and our email alert about it does not include what you wrote. We keep it for up to 12 months, then delete it. Please don't include personal details. If you are signed in and ask for a reply, we link your account so we can answer at your account email.
Sharing. Share buttons are plain links. Nothing from those services loads on our pages; if you choose to share, that service's own terms and privacy policy apply.
We use no advertising or analytics cookies. We use sign-in cookies while you are signed in; an Ask Hudley session cookie (up to 30 days) when you chat; the arcade_voter cookie (one year) when you vote in the Arcade; and browser storage on your device for your store cart and Arcade game saves.
Ask Hudley sends your chat message and selected approved website information to OpenAI to prepare a response. OpenAI API response storage is disabled by Hudley. Anonymous conversation records use an opaque session identifier and are retained for up to 30 days; Hudley does not create a permanent profile from anonymous chat.
Chat is available without contact information. If you request human follow-up, Hudley stores your contact details and a conversation summary only after affirmative consent, then uses Resend to notify the team. Do not submit passwords, payment-card details, authentication codes, government identifiers, or other sensitive information in chat.
The Hudley Arcade and this site are made for a general audience. We don't ask visitors their age and don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has sent us personal information — for example in a Tell Hudley message or by creating an account — we delete it. If you believe that has happened, email us and we will delete it.
We use the information to deliver purchases, send the newsletter, calculate and review scope, communicate with you, generate approved construction briefs, request payment, provide services, secure accounts, prevent abuse, and maintain business records.
Supabase provides database, authentication, and storage services; Stripe provides payment processing; Resend provides transactional and newsletter email, including our internal alerts about Tell Hudley messages; OpenAI processes Ask Hudley chats as described above; GitHub and Vercel support source control and hosting. Vercel's and Supabase's systems keep operational logs, including network addresses, under their own retention settings. Providers receive only the information necessary for their role.
Records are retained only as needed for service delivery, legal and accounting obligations, dispute resolution, and security. Some specific periods: Tell Hudley messages, 12 months; abuse-prevention records, within two days of your last request. Page-view records are kept, but the secret that could link them to a visitor is deleted shortly after their day ends. Arcade votes stay counted after your cookie expires but can no longer be connected to your browser. Access is role-restricted, sensitive credentials remain server-side, and payment events are signature verified.
You may request access, correction, or deletion where applicable by emailing hudleyentertainment@gmail.com. Some records may need to be retained for legal, security, or accounting purposes. You can clear your Arcade vote at any time from the game's page.
Each version stays readable at its own address. The date is when its text went into use on this site.
