Privacy Policy

1. Information you provide

You can browse and use Burnie's World without registering an account. If you choose to send feedback, the information you enter in the form, including your message and any contact information you provide, is transmitted through EmailJS so we can receive and respond to it. Please do not include passwords, API keys, or other sensitive information in feedback messages.

2. Information stored in your browser

Some tools and games save settings, searches, preferences, game progress, or API keys using your browser's local storage. This helps the site remember your choices between visits. You can clear this information using the relevant tool settings or your browser's storage controls.

For Guild Wars 2 tools, an API key you choose to enter is stored in your browser and used to make requests to the Guild Wars 2 API. Burnie's World does not provide a separate account system or database for storing those keys. Requests to external APIs are subject to those providers' own practices.

3. Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site and which pages and tools are useful. Google Analytics may process information such as page visits, interactions, approximate location, device and browser information, and cookie identifiers. Google describes its data practices in its Privacy Policy.

4. Advertising and cookies

Burnie's World uses Google AdSense and may display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Google's advertising cookies may help Google and its partners show ads based on your visits to this site and other websites. Depending on your choices and the applicable rules, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.

You can manage Google ad personalization in My Ad Center. You can also learn about opting out of interest-based advertising from participating providers at YourAdChoices. Browser settings may also allow you to block or delete cookies, although doing so can affect certain features.

Where required, we will use consent controls for advertising and related technologies. For information about Google's use of information on partner sites, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

5. Hosting and third-party services

Our hosting and security provider, Cloudflare, may process technical information such as IP addresses and request details to deliver and protect the website. Features may also connect your browser directly to third-party services, including the Guild Wars 2 API. When you follow external links, such as Buy me a coffee, the destination website has its own privacy practices.

6. Data retention and your choices

Information saved only in your browser stays there until it is cleared or replaced, subject to your browser's behavior. Feedback emails may be kept as needed to read and respond to your message. Analytics, advertising, hosting, and API providers have their own retention and deletion practices.

You can request information about feedback you have sent, or ask us to delete it where possible, by contacting the address below.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes or new services are introduced. The date at the top indicates the latest revision.
