Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how RNG Heroes Wiki ("we," "us," or "our"), accessible at https://rngheroes.wiki, collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to handling personal data responsibly and in compliance with applicable privacy regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable, and other local data protection laws.

Because RNG Heroes Wiki is a fan-made informational website, we collect only the minimum data necessary to operate the site, understand aggregate traffic patterns, and improve our guides and tools. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

Our website is primarily read-only and does not require account registration. We do not operate user accounts, comment systems, or newsletter subscriptions at this time. If you contact us through email, Discord, or other channels linked from the website, we may receive information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, or message content. We use that information solely to respond to your inquiry.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical data when you visit. This may include your IP address (often truncated or anonymized by analytics providers), browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and general geographic region derived from IP address. This data is typically collected in aggregate form and does not directly identify you unless combined with other information.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. These tools help us remember preferences, measure site performance, and understand how visitors navigate between guides. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information for the following purposes: operating and maintaining the website; monitoring uptime, security, and performance; analyzing traffic trends to prioritize content updates such as code lists and tier list revisions; detecting and preventing abuse, spam, or automated scraping; complying with legal obligations; and responding to user inquiries or rights requests.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We do not build advertising profiles based on your browsing behavior on this website.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds: legitimate interests in operating and improving a free fan wiki; consent where required for non-essential cookies or analytics; compliance with legal obligations; and, in limited cases, performance of a contract when you request a specific service from us.

You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Third-Party Services

RNG Heroes Wiki may integrate third-party services that process data on our behalf or independently. These may include web hosting providers, content delivery networks, analytics platforms such as Google Analytics or privacy-focused alternatives, embedded video players from YouTube, and font delivery from Google Fonts. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy and may collect data according to its terms.

When you click external links—to the official Roblox game page, Discord, Trello, or social media—you leave our website and become subject to the privacy practices of those destinations. We encourage you to review their policies before sharing personal information.

6. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected logs and analytics data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, typically ranging from a few days to twenty-six months depending on the analytics provider's default retention settings. Correspondence related to support or legal requests may be kept longer when required for record-keeping or dispute resolution.

When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it using commercially reasonable methods.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include HTTPS encryption, access controls, and reliance on reputable hosting infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

RNG Heroes Wiki covers a Roblox game that may appeal to younger audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data; request data portability; lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; and opt out of certain analytics or marketing cookies. To exercise these rights, contact us through the channels listed on our website. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. As stated above, we do not sell personal information.

10. International Transfers

Our website may be hosted on servers located in countries other than your own. When data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or reliance on adequacy decisions where applicable.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
