Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 27, 2026
Quick Summary: We collect minimal data to improve your experience. If you create a player-community account, we store the account details and content needed to run the forum, polls, and card reviews. We don't sell your data or share it unnecessarily.
1. Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information
- IP Address & Location: We use your IP address to detect your country and show you a personalized background image. This is done via ipapi.co service.
- Website Analytics (GA4, Reddit Pixel & Microsoft Clarity): We measure page views, referral sources (e.g., google.com, reddit.com), basic engagement (e.g., button clicks), device/browser info, and approximate location. Google Analytics 4 is configured with IP anonymization and without Google Signals. Microsoft Clarity records anonymized session replays and heatmaps to help us improve the site experience.
- Cookies: We use analytics cookies to understand site usage. Some third parties (Google Analytics, Reddit) may set their own cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
- Device Information: Basic browser and device information for site optimization.
Information You Provide
- Email Address: Only collected if you voluntarily sign up for our email updates via the Tally form.
- Community Account: If you sign in to the player community, Google provides your account identifier, email address, name, profile image, and email-verification status. We use that information to authenticate you and check whether your account is approved. We do not receive or store your Google password.
- Community Content: Forum posts, poll votes, and card reviews you submit are stored so the community features work. Your display name and posts or reviews are visible to site visitors; your email address and individual poll choices are not public.
- Discord/Reddit Interactions: If you join our Discord or Reddit communities, those platforms have their own privacy policies.
