Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Studio Mini Apex, operated by GamingPretty LLC (“we”, “us”), collects and uses information when you visit studiominiapex.com, contact us, or visit our track and hobby shop at 16326 Mueschke Rd, Suite E-2, Cypress, TX 77433.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you send a message through our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and anything you write. If you create an account or place an order on our website, we collect the details needed for that order, such as your name, email, phone number, and billing and shipping address. When you sign up for a race, we record your name or racer name, the cars you enter, the class each car races in (such as Box Stock, B-Tuned, B-MAX, Open or Outlaw), and your heat results, bracket placings, lap times and points. Racer names, cars, classes and results may be shown on screen at the track and posted in results and leaderboards on our website and social media.
Payments. In-store and online payments are processed by Square. Your full card number goes directly to Square and is not stored on our website. We receive basic details such as the amount, date, and the last digits of the card.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site and its service providers automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, how you arrived at our site, and the date and time of your visit.
Cookies and Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are popular and whether visitors come from search, social media, or our in-store QR codes. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information, and it is processed by Google. We use these reports in aggregate to improve our website and do not use them to identify individual visitors.
You can learn how Google uses this information at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking or deleting cookies in your browser settings.
Our shop also uses cookies needed for the shopping cart and for keeping you logged in to your account.
Embedded content from other websites
Some pages include content from other services, such as Google Maps, YouTube videos, and Facebook or Instagram posts. These services may collect information about you and set their own cookies, as if you had visited their websites directly. Their own privacy policies apply.
How we use your information
- To answer your questions and messages
- To process orders, payments, and pickups or shipping
- To run race events: register racers and cars, build heats and brackets, record results, and post leaderboards
- To keep our website working, secure, and backed up
- To understand how people find and use our website so we can improve it
- To meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements
Photos and videos at events
We sometimes take photos and videos at the track and at race days and share them on our website and social media. If you would rather not appear, let a staff member know at the event, or contact us and we will remove a photo of you. We ask a parent or guardian before posting images where a child can be clearly identified.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us run the business, such as our website host, Square (payments), Google (analytics and backups), and our email delivery service, and only as needed for them to provide their services. We may also share information when required by law or to protect our rights, customers, or property.
How long we keep information
We keep messages, order records, and race results for as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal and tax requirements. Website analytics data is kept according to our Google Analytics retention settings.
Security
Our website uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and we take reasonable steps to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to keep your information safe.
Children
Our track and shop welcome families, but our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices
You can ask us to tell you what personal information we have about you, or to correct or delete it, by contacting us. You can also control cookies through your browser settings and opt out of Google Analytics as described above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
