1. What we collect
The site does not offer user accounts, payments, or public comments. If you submit the correction form, we store the report type, page, guide context, message, submission time, and a random reference number in a private review queue. The form does not ask for your name or email address.
Like most hosted websites, the hosting and security infrastructure may automatically process technical request data such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, timestamp, and security signals to deliver the site and prevent abuse.
2. Cookies and analytics
The site sends a limited set of first-party events, such as a page view, guide filter, outbound Steam click, or submitted feedback report, to the hosting Worker. Search events may include the search term you entered, capped at 80 characters, so we can identify missing topics and zero-result searches. These records do not include an email address, cookie ID, or site-generated visitor identifier.
If you choose “Allow analytics,” the site enables Google Analytics storage and also loads Microsoft Clarity and Plausible. These services may process page URLs, referrers, device and browser details, approximate location, interaction events, and technical identifiers. Google Analytics may then use cookies or similar storage. Microsoft Clarity provides interaction analytics and session replay, which can include clicks, scrolling, pointer movement, and rendered page state. Plausible provides aggregate traffic analytics through the configured ShipSolo endpoint.
Cloudflare may also load its Web Analytics performance beacon to measure aggregate loading and Core Web Vital metrics. It is used for site performance monitoring, not advertising or cross-site visitor tracking.
The preference is stored in your browser as mc_analytics_consent. The Google tag loads on each page with Consent Mode set to deny analytics and advertising storage by default. Before permission, it may send cookieless consent and measurement pings for aggregate modeling, but it does not use analytics cookies. Microsoft Clarity and Plausible do not load until you allow analytics. A browser Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal defaults optional analytics storage and tools to off unless you later choose otherwise through Analytics settings.
3. Feedback and email correspondence
On-site feedback is used to review and correct field files. After a report is stored, the site sends a transactional notification containing the report to the private support inbox so it can be reviewed promptly. The on-site form still does not collect your name or email address. If you use the email fallback, we also receive your email address, message, and standard email metadata. We use this information only to review and respond, keep necessary support records, and protect against spam or abuse.
4. How information is used
Technical and correspondence data may be used to operate and secure the site, diagnose errors, answer support requests, comply with legal obligations, and enforce the site terms. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising.
5. Retention and service providers
First-party analytics events are automatically removed after 90 days. Feedback submissions are automatically removed after 365 days unless a legal or security need requires a longer record. Hosting, database, network, and email providers may process limited data on our behalf under their own security and retention practices.
Google, Microsoft, Plausible, and the configured Plausible hosting provider apply their own retention, security, and international data-transfer practices to analytics data they receive. Their policies and your analytics preference govern that processing.
6. Third-party links
Links to Steam and other external services take you away from this site. Their privacy policies govern information they collect; this policy does not cover those services.
7. Your choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. We may need to verify a request before acting on it. You may also ask us to stop non-essential email correspondence.
Use the Analytics settings control in the site footer to allow or disable Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Plausible. Disabling analytics reloads the page so previously loaded optional scripts stop running for subsequent browsing. You can also clear site storage or use browser privacy controls.
8. Policy updates
We may revise this policy when the site or its data practices change. The date above shows when the current version took effect.
