Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how thegatemuststand.wiki ("we," "us," or the "Site") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website.

1. Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Data

When you visit the Site, standard web server logs and analytics tools may collect:

  • IP address (often truncated or anonymized by analytics providers)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited, referral URLs, and approximate geographic region
  • Date and time of access

We use this data to understand traffic patterns, improve content, and maintain security.

Information You Provide

If you contact us via email or future forms, we receive the information you voluntarily submit, such as your email address and message content.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and local storage for essential functionality, analytics, and preference remembering. See our Cookie Policy for details and control options.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate and maintain the wiki
  • Measure page performance and popular guides
  • Detect abuse and protect infrastructure
  • Respond to user inquiries
  • Improve SEO and content relevance

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Analytics and Third-Party Services

We may use privacy-focused or industry-standard analytics services (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics or similar) to aggregate visitor statistics. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. We configure analytics to minimize personal data collection where possible.

Embedded external links (e.g., Steam) do not automatically share your wiki browsing data with those platforms unless you click through.

5. Hosting and Data Processing

The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages or comparable infrastructure. Server logs may be processed in various global locations according to the host's data processing terms. We select hosts with reasonable security practices.

6. Data Retention

Server logs and analytics data are retained only as long as necessary for operations, security, and trend analysis, then deleted or anonymized according to provider defaults or our schedule.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA where applicable), you may have rights to:

  • Access personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise rights, contact us using the details on the Site. We will respond within reasonable timeframes required by law.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or higher age where required). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided data, contact us for deletion.

9. Security

We implement reasonable technical measures including HTTPS, access controls on infrastructure, and regular updates. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

10. International Visitors

Visitors from outside our hosting region acknowledge that data may be transferred internationally. We take steps consistent with applicable cross-border transfer requirements.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The effective date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use after changes constitutes acknowledgment.
