To that end we recommend you only proceed if you recognized the site that you are headed to and trust the person who's profile you found this link on. If you still want to proceed hit the button below and we'll open a new tab with the link!

Mechanyx.gg has a number of powerful payment processing, donation, subscription, and other money-related features that allow creators from all over to get paid fairly and easily for the hard work that they do.
Powering the back end of these features is Stripe - a well known and secure online payment processing partner which we use to ensure all your contributors information is securely processed and stored.
As part of the sign up process with ToTheCause you will create a Stripe account. The Stripe Dashboard allows you a lot of purview into donations and contributions coming your way as well as information about each transaction and donor.
We encourage you to review this information as needed for legal and compliance reasons in line with your own personal financial situation and legal needs. However by using ToTheCause you are legally, morally, and ethically bound to protect this information with the same diligence that we do as a Company and in compliance with these Terms of Use as well as our Privacy Policy.
This means you will not under any circumstances for compensation or for free export, sell, or otherwise make available any of your contributors' information including names, email addresses, or other personally identifiable information. "Personally identifiable information" here means any information that directly, or when used with other information, can identify a person.
Due to the severity of this issue and how seriously we take user privacy any infraction to this term may result in civil and criminal penalties to the extent permitted by law. Naturally that sounds kind of intimidating - but we want to help too! If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to get in contact with us. We'd be more than happy to explain in detail more about this policy and put you at ease about what you can and cannot do.
"Block Dodging" here means creating another account or otherwise using methods to circumvent a ban or block by another user on Mechanyx.gg. Mechanyx.gg takes the safety and privacy of our users seriously and we are continually implementing mechanisms and features that keep our users safe and comfortable when using our Site. One of these features is the ability to block users so that those users are not able to see or interact with the blocker's Mechanyx.gg pages, services, and content.
Under no circumstances are you permitted to create separate accounts or use any methods to try and circumvent this block or otherwise see the blocker's content.
Violation of this clause may result in deleting of both your original account, any subsequent accounts we suspect may have or will be used to dodge the block, and civil or criminal prosecution in cases where the act of circumventing the block presents what we perceive as a real-world, substantial, or inevitable risk to Mechanyx.gg, its parent company Mechanyx Codeworks, or any of the users of Mechanyx.gg.

You may have noticed when you sign in that we use a service called Auth0 to sign you in. Auth0 provides us some information when you sign in which we use to make the site function.

The Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act is a set of US laws designed to protect children under the age of 13 and their interactions with the Internet and various communities on the Internet.
Being that we are a US company (Based out of McKinney, Texas), we are familiar with the regulations under COPPA and while we DO NOT immediately fall under the jurisdiction of COPPA, we still felt it right to articulate our posture with regards to COPPA and how seriously we take children's safety on the Internet.
We don't collect any information from any users until they sign up for our platform. During the sign up process we require each user to check a box stating they are over the age of 13, and agree to our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Community Guidelines. Our Privacy Policy explicitly state that Mechanyx.gg "is only available to individuals who are at least 13 years of age. For individuals in the EU member states and subject to GDPR the Site is only available to those over the age of 16 years of age."
Further, we have a field in our sign up process that asks those signing up what their birthday is. We then check the value they entered against the current date to validate if the user is 13 years of age. Any user trying to sign up using a birth date less than 13 years ago is not able to create an account or proceed further.
Seriously - we only log a username that the user picks on their own, and a token from our authentication partner Auth0 (see below). No full names. No addresses. No geographic data. Just a user name. Further, we give each user a unique hash which we use to identify them with. It's the case that in many of our data entries no record exists of the user beyond a hash of jumbled letters and numbers.
Some features of Mechanyx.gg are driven by text messages. In which case we collect a phone number and store it along side the user's unique hash. Again this user hash simply ties back to a token and the user's username. No other personally identifiable information (PII) is stored adjacent to this data.
During checkout for ToTheCause contributions and other payment flows on Mechanyx.gg, you are asked to provide an email address for receipts. This information is stored so we can send you a receipt. Causes and those using ToTheCause are also able to see this email address by way of Stripe's dashboard. It is expressly forbidden by our Terms of Use for anyone using ToTheCause or any other services of Mechanyx.gg which allow access to your email to sell, distribute, or otherwise export said address for use anywhere else.
Naturally we expect everyone who uses ToTheCause to adhere to these rules - but we're also not dumb. If you feel a Cause or user of Mechanyx.gg is using your email address or any other personal information for purposes that are not in line with our Terms of Use, please let us know. We take this issue very seriously and those found to be breaking our Terms of Service are subject to civil and possibly criminal penalties.
Ever. We don't run ads. We don't sell data. We don't give data away for any reason at any time. User privacy is one of the most important aspects of our business.
We do use two third party services: specifically Auth0 (A well known authentication service which we use to authenticate our users) and Stripe (a well-known payment processing platform).
Auth0 collects their own sets of data for the purposes of authenticating their users and providing functionality to us - but we don't store any personally identifiable information from Auth0 beyond simply a basic user token which is given to us for the purpose of identifying someone who signs into our site.
This token does not contain any names or other personally identifiable information - and it is only ever stored alongside the user's username and their unique user hash.
It's worth noting that Auth0 when authenticating a user will send us a packet of information with other information in it such as the user's reported first and last name. But we do not store this information anywhere in our servers, and we never distribute it to third parties or anyone outside of our team.
Stripe collects payment information for the purposes of validating and processing a transaction. In this case personally identifiable information such as the customer's name and card information is stored securely on Stripe's servers.
For the purposes of legal compliance, we do keep a record of every transaction made on our platform along with the name of the person given to us when the transaction is made on our site. As part of the transaction flow, we include a checkbox that explicitly asks the customer if they are over 18 and are legally allowed to purchase the items they are purchasing.
All of this transaction information is kept in our secured and encrypted databases and we do not distribute this information with anyone.
We encourage you to review both Stripe and Auth0's privacy policies individually as their data collection methods and reasons will differ from our own.
Our Company is “Mechanyx Codeworks Incorporated” which includes “Mechanyx.gg”. This Article 12 GDPR Privacy Policy exists In addition to our normal Privacy Policy and exists to clarify a number of points for the purposes of GDPR and will explain how our organization uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website.
Topics:
Welcome to Mechanyx.gg! We're glad to have you. We're a community of gamers, content creators, eSports junkies, and so many other types of people from different walks of life. We're about empowering those rising up in the eSports world and shortening the path to making professional gaming a happy and fruitful livelihood.
Being that we are a community, we wanted to make sure we outline a few guidelines so that everyone can have a good time and get the most out of this platform.
The sale of user data, especially data given to a company in confidence, is a vile and deplorable practice. The only thing worse than the act of selling data is that companies have become comfortable with the selling of their users data and are numb to the ethical ramifications and concerns it creates both in the realms of business and software engineering.
Competitive play has been the core of eSports since its inception. Further, even before eSports were a thing, competitions existed between athletes, competitors, spirited individuals, and anyone looking to test their skills.
Competition allows us to draw out some of the best emotions in ourselves and push our bodies, minds, and competitive spirits to new levels. Competition shows us what we can do; and sometimes it shows us that we can do things that we previously thought we couldn't do.
But there's a careful balance to be maintained here -- for far too long eSports has been pegged as a place where, on occasion, people get titled, loose their composure, get salty, toxic, and any other myriad of BM and behavior.
At Mechanyx.gg we are just one of a number of growing companies, brands, and organizations seeking to make eSports a place where all are welcome and healthy competition is encouraged -- without all the toxicity and rough stuff as well.
Whenever you engage with anyone on Mechanyx.gg in a competitive capacity, be it in a tournament, league, or somewhere else on our site, you are expected to maintain a non-toxic and level-headed composure.
There's nothing wrong with a little frustration or wanting to compete at your best. But when that frustration begins to affect others and make them targets you aren't helping anyone. In fact you are stepping backwards when the eSports community is moving forward.
We look forward to a day where eSports gets the competitive and healthy reputation it so deserves - and we think outlining these guidelines allows us to be a part of that conversation and work towards putting the salt mines and barrels of toxic waste in eSports behind us.
