Cardistry Base ("we," "us," "our," "the Service") is a community-driven wiki and reference site for cardistry (playing card manipulation) moves, cardist profiles, organizations, and decks, available at cardistrybase.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.

We only request basic profile information needed to identify you and create your account. From Google, this is your name, email, and profile picture; we do not request access to your Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, or any other Google service.
