Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This privacy policy explains what information the Island Restoration Wiki collects, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We keep data collection minimal. This site does not require accounts and does not ask for personal information beyond what standard web technologies collect automatically.

  • Automatic data: standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, and pages visited for security and analytics purposes.
  • Cookies: we use cookies only where needed for basic site function, such as remembering your theme preference.
  • No personal data: we do not collect names, emails, or other identifying information from visitors.

How We Use Information

Any automatically collected data is used only to keep the site secure, understand aggregate traffic, and improve the experience.

  • Analytics: aggregated, anonymized traffic statistics help us see which guides are useful.
  • Performance: logs help us diagnose downtime and security issues.
  • Preferences: a local cookie saves your chosen theme so the site renders correctly on return visits.

Third-Party Services

This site embeds content from a small number of third-party services, each with its own privacy policy.

  • Google Analytics may be used to understand aggregate traffic; see Google's privacy policy for details.
  • Links to Steam point to the official store page; Valve's policies apply there.
  • Links to Discord allow readers to join the community server; Discord's policies apply once you leave this site.

Children's Privacy

This site does not knowingly collect information from children and does not require accounts or personal data from any visitor.

Your Data Rights

Because we collect almost nothing, there is little to access or delete. Still, you have the right to clear cookies and control analytics where tools allow.

  • Opt out: use your browser settings to clear cookies or block analytics scripts.
  • Cookies: you may disable cookies; the site will still work, though some preferences may reset.
  • Contact: email the site team through the community Discord if you have privacy questions.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the site from unauthorized access and keep any automatically collected logs secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Significant changes will be noted on the updates page and reflected in the last-updated date above.
