Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Site collects and uses information. The Site is primarily a personal blog and portfolio and does not request or intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as home addresses, payment card details, government-issued identification documents, or similar information.

By using the Site, users acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

1) What the Site Collects

Depending on how the Site is used, the following information may be collected:

  • basic technical data, such as browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, IP address, referring pages, and general usage statistics;
  • contact information voluntarily submitted through forms, such as name and email address;
  • newsletter information, including email address and subscription preferences, whether submitted directly through a newsletter form or associated with an account created on the Site;
  • comments or other content voluntarily submitted by users;
  • account information, if user registration is available, such as username, display name, email address, password hash, and profile details voluntarily provided by the user;
  • information related to affiliate link clicks or advertising interactions, where applicable.

The Site does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless such information is voluntarily submitted by the user.

2) How the Site Uses Information

The Site may use collected information to:

  • operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content;
  • respond to messages, questions, or support requests;
  • send newsletter communications when a user subscribes directly through a newsletter form or when an account is created on the Site, with the ability to unsubscribe at any time through the unsubscribe link included in each email;
  • monitor general traffic and engagement trends;
  • detect, prevent, or address spam, abuse, fraud, security issues, or technical problems;
  • support comments, accounts, and community-related features, if enabled;
  • comply with legal obligations, where required.

The Site does not intentionally build detailed personal profiles for marketing purposes.

3) User Accounts, Social Login, Comments, and Newsletter

If user registration is available on the Site, the Site may collect and store account information such as username, display name, email address, password hash, and any profile information voluntarily provided by the user. This information may be used to create and manage user accounts, authenticate access, maintain profile and community features, moderate activity, prevent spam or abuse, support newsletter-related account functions, and protect the security and integrity of the Site.

3.1 – Social Login

If available, users may also choose to sign in through a third-party provider such as Google. When this occurs, the Site may receive limited account information from that provider, such as name and email address, depending on the permissions granted and the provider’s settings. Use of third-party login services is also subject to the provider’s own terms and privacy practices.

3.2 – Account Integrity and Abuse Prevention

To help protect the Site and its community, users are expected to maintain only one account unless expressly authorized otherwise by the Site administrator. The Site may review related account activity when reasonably necessary to enforce its rules, protect account integrity, and prevent abuse.

3.2 – Comments

If commenting is enabled, comments and related metadata may be stored and displayed publicly together with the chosen display name and, where applicable, profile-related information associated with the account. Comments may be reviewed, moderated, approved, rejected, hidden, edited for formatting or technical reasons, or removed before or after publication. This may occur in order to enforce the rules of the Site, reduce spam or abuse, keep discussions relevant, preserve readability, or maintain the quality and organization of the Site.

3.3 – Newsletter

Users may subscribe to the Site’s newsletter directly through a newsletter form. In that case, subscription occurs through the information submitted in that form. If an account is created on the Site, the email address associated with that account may also be automatically added to the Site’s newsletter in order to send updates about new posts, mods, releases, tutorials, related content, and occasional offers. Each newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link, and newsletter subscription may be canceled at any time through that link.

3.4 – Account deletion

If an account is deleted, some public contributions, including comments, may remain visible in anonymized or de-identified form in order to preserve the continuity and context of discussion threads. In such cases, identifying account information may be removed or replaced with a generic label such as [Deleted Member]. Deletion of an account does not necessarily result in the automatic removal of all public content previously submitted through that account.

4) Cookies, Analytics, and Ads

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, performance, analytics, remembering preferences, and improving the overall user experience.

Analytics tools may be used to understand traffic patterns and general visitor behavior in an aggregated way.

If advertising services are used, those services may set their own cookies or similar technologies, subject to their own policies.

Users can usually control cookies through browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.

5) Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or embedded content such as videos, images, social media features, or other external resources.

Those third-party services may collect data, use cookies, or apply their own tracking technologies. Their content and practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

6) Affiliate Links

Some pages may contain affiliate links. This means the Site may earn a commission if a purchase is made through those links, at no additional cost to the user.

Affiliate relationships do not change the price paid by the user and do not automatically imply endorsement beyond the context in which the link is presented.

7) Data Storage and Security

Reasonable measures are used to protect information submitted to the Site. However, no website or online service can guarantee absolute security.

Users should avoid submitting sensitive or unnecessary personal information through public forms, comments, or other open areas of the Site.

8) Data Retention

The Site keeps information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

  • contact messages: as long as needed to respond or follow up;
  • newsletter data: until unsubscribed or otherwise removed from the mailing list;
  • analytics data: according to the retention settings of the tools in use;
  • account data: as long as the account remains active, unless longer retention is reasonably necessary for security, moderation, legal, or record-keeping purposes;
  • public comments and discussion content: as long as reasonably necessary for continuity, moderation, legal, security, or record-keeping purposes, including in anonymized form where appropriate.

9) Your Choices and Rights

Depending on applicable law, users may have the right to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate data, or deletion of certain personal data.

Reasonable verification may be requested before processing certain requests.

Requests may be limited where retention is reasonably necessary for legal, security, moderation, administrative, or record-keeping purposes.

10) Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age required by applicable law for independent consent in their jurisdiction, and the Site does not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law.

If any information appears to have been submitted in error, contact can be made using the details provided below.

11) Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, its features, or applicable practices.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
