Privacy
Last updated October 24, 2026.
No accounts, no names, no emails. The site never asks who you are, and it collects nothing about players, students or anyone else. There is nowhere to write about yourself or anyone else. The only two typing boxes are the one where you paste your own Bleacher Book link, and the one where you type DELETE to confirm a delete; the site does not store what you type in either (how a book's link is kept is just below).
What a Bleacher Book holds. If you start one: which lessons you marked done, your Rink IQ answers, and the dates. The book is found by a private random key; we keep only a one-way hash of that key. The key sits in a secure cookie in your browser and in the part of your link after the # sign, which browsers never send to servers.
Rate limits. To stop abuse we count requests per connection per day, using a salted one-way hash of the internet address. Those counts are deleted after two days.
Server logs. Our web server keeps standard access logs (address, time, page) for security, rotated by the host.
Backups. The database is backed up nightly; backups are kept 14 days.
Deleting. Delete your book from its page at any time. A book not opened for 400 days is deleted automatically (unless it has a running Pass).
No tracking cookies. No analytics services and no outside fonts. The only things these pages load from another site are the banner ad's script and image from adengine.us, on the pages listed under Advertising; that script also counts one page view per page, kept only as a daily total. Payments, when they start, are handled by PayPal on PayPal's own pages.
Advertising
The home page, the Rink Map, What was that?, the lessons, Pricing and About show one banner ad from AdEngine (adengine.us), the small ad network run by WeldonPC, the company behind The Bleacher Guide. For now the ads are for WeldonPC's own services. Rink IQ, the Bleacher Card, your Bleacher Book, this page, Terms and error pages never show an ad.
To show an ad, your browser loads a script from adengine.us, asks it for one banner, loads the banner image, and reports once that the page was viewed and once that the banner was shown. Like any website, adengine.us receives your internet address, your browser type and the address of this site with those requests.
- No cookies, no profile. AdEngine sets no cookies, gives you no ID and does not track you from site to site.
- How your internet address is used. adengine.us looks up the approximate city for your internet address in a location database kept on its own server (nothing is sent to anyone else), so that ads meant for one area are shown only there. It also uses the address to count each ad view or click only once and to leave out robots and WeldonPC's own office traffic. The address is not stored with the counts; the temporary entries made from it expire within six hours and are cleared from the server within two days.
- What is kept. Daily totals only: page views for this site, and views and clicks for each ad. The adengine.us web server also keeps a standard access log (internet address, time, address requested, referring site, browser) for security; it is deleted on a rolling schedule.
- Clicking an ad passes through adengine.us, which counts the click, and then opens the advertiser's site, which has its own privacy policy.
- Nothing about you is sold or shared. The ad request names only this site and the banner size: your Bleacher Book, lesson ticks and quiz answers never leave The Bleacher Guide.
