Summary: This is a static informational website. We do not sell your personal data. Any analytics and advertising services that may be added use cookies and standard server logs as described below. You can control cookies through your browser.
1. Who We Are
Crimson Desert Wiki ("we", "us", "the Site") is an independent fan-run guide for the game Crimson Desert. This Privacy Policy explains what happens to information when you browse the Site. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics service may automatically collect technical data, including:
- IP address (often truncated/anonymized) and approximate geographic region;
- Browser type, device type, operating system, and screen size;
- Pages visited, referring page, time spent, and click behavior;
- Date and time of requests and standard server log data.
2.2 Information you choose to provide
If the Site adds a contact form, newsletter, or comment feature in the future, we will only collect the information you actively submit (such as an email address or message). We will never ask for sensitive personal data.
3. How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its guides;
- To understand which pages and topics are useful to readers;
- To diagnose technical problems and prevent abuse;
- To respond when you contact us;
- To serve and measure advertising or affiliate performance (where enabled).
4. Cookies & Local Storage
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The Site may use:
- Essential cookies/local storage: needed for basic site function (for example, remembering the mobile navigation or an expanded FAQ);
- Analytics cookies: anonymous usage statistics;
- Advertising cookies: used by third-party ad networks (see Section 5).
You can disable or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies may affect some Site features but not your ability to read the guides.
5. Third-Party Advertising & Analytics
If monetization or analytics is enabled, the following categories of third parties may process data through the Site:
- Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to compile anonymous traffic reports;
- Advertising partners (e.g., Google AdSense and ad networks), which may use cookies to serve ads relevant to your interests and to measure campaign performance;
- Affiliate networks, which record that a purchase originated from a link on the Site.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
6. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your location (for example the EU/EEA under the GDPR, California under the CCPA/CPRA, or other local laws), you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete personal data held about you;
- Restrict or object to certain processing;
- Request a portable copy of your data;
- Withdraw consent at any time;
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Because most data we hold is anonymous analytics, the fastest way to exercise these rights is to clear cookies and/or use the opt-out links above, or contact us directly. We do not sell personal information.
7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
The Site is a general-audience gaming resource and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Data Retention & Security
Anonymous analytics and server logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes above, then aggregated or deleted. We use reasonable technical measures to protect the Site, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
9. International Visitors
The Site targets a United States, English-language audience. If you visit from outside the US, your data may be processed in the country where our hosting or analytics providers operate.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Site evolves (for example, when adding analytics or advertising). Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

This policy is written for a static content site. Before launch, replace the placeholder email, and adjust Sections 5–6 to match the exact analytics and advertising services you actually enable.
