PRIVACY POLICY

SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

CritAtlas is an independent game-guide website available at critatlas.com. The site does not currently provide user accounts, accept payments or directly request names, postal addresses or payment information. This policy applies to the pages and features operated by CritAtlas. Third-party websites linked from a guide have their own privacy practices.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

When a visitor requests a page, standard technical information may be processed by the hosting infrastructure for security, reliability and delivery purposes. This can include an IP address, browser and device information, requested URL, date and time, referring page and diagnostic logs. CritAtlas does not use this information to identify visitors personally.

LOCAL DEVICE STORAGE

Some CritAtlas features use browser storage to remember preferences such as favorite characters and recently viewed guides. This information normally remains on the visitor's device and can be removed by clearing the feature, the browser's site data or local storage. Disabling browser storage may prevent these convenience features from working correctly.

GOOGLE ADSENSE, COOKIES AND IDENTIFIERS

CritAtlas uses Google AdSense to prepare and, when the site is approved, display advertising. Google and its advertising partners may place or read cookies on a visitor's browser, use web beacons, collect IP addresses or use other identifiers to deliver, measure, limit and secure advertisements. Depending on the visitor's location and consent choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Information about how Google processes data when its services are used on partner sites is available on Google's How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services page. Visitors can also manage advertising preferences through Google My Ad Center.

CONSENT CHOICES

Where required, including for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, CritAtlas uses a Google-certified consent message to request and record advertising choices. Visitors may accept, reject or manage the available options through that message. A visitor may also clear site cookies or change browser settings, although doing so may reset previously saved choices.

DATA SHARING AND RETENTION

CritAtlas does not sell personal information. Technical information may be handled by service providers only as necessary to host, protect and operate the website or provide advertising. Those providers determine their own retention periods under their policies and legal obligations. Locally stored favorites and recently viewed guides remain until the visitor removes them or clears browser data.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on location, visitors may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or withdrawal of consent. Requests or questions about this policy can be submitted through the CritAtlas contact page. Advertising choices managed by Google can be reviewed through Google's own privacy and advertising controls.

EXTERNAL LINKS

Some guides link to official game websites, community resources or other third-party services. CritAtlas does not control those websites, their cookies or their data practices. Visitors should review the privacy notice of any external service they choose to use.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

This policy may be updated when CritAtlas changes its features, hosting, advertising or legal obligations. Material revisions will be reflected by the updated date displayed at the top of this page.
