Summary: We don't sell your data. Our tools save data locally in your browser only. We use standard web analytics to understand traffic. We use cookies only for analytics and preferences.
1. Who We Are
Palia Hub (palia-hub.gg) is an independent, fan-operated website providing guides, tools, and resources for players of the Palia video game. We are not affiliated with Singularity 6 Corporation.
When this policy says "we," "our," or "us," it refers to the operators of palia-hub.gg.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we collect standard web log information when you visit, including:
- Your IP address (anonymized)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring URL (how you arrived at our site)
- Pages visited and time spent on pages
- Date and time of each request
This information is collected via web analytics tools and is used only in aggregate to understand how visitors use our site. We do not link this data to individual identities.
2.2 Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact us via our contact form, we collect the information you submit (your message, and optionally your email address). We use this only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
2.3 Browser Local Storage (Tool Data)
Our interactive tools (Fish Tracker, Friendship Tracker, Daily Checklist, etc.) save your progress data in your browser's local storage. This data:
- Stays entirely on your device — it is never transmitted to our servers
- Is not accessible to us
- Can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data
3. Cookies
We use the following cookies:
- Analytics cookies: To understand aggregate site traffic patterns (e.g., Google Analytics or similar, if applicable). These are anonymized and cannot be used to personally identify you.
- Preference cookies: To remember your site preferences (e.g., theme settings), if applicable.
We do not use tracking cookies that follow you across other websites. We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not materially affect your ability to use our site, though some preference features may not persist between visits.
4. Third-Party Services
Our site may include links to third-party websites (e.g., official Palia social media accounts, Discord, YouTube). These links are provided for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Their respective privacy policies govern your interactions with them.
We may use third-party services for:
- Web analytics to understand site usage
- Content delivery networks (CDN) to serve pages quickly
These services may set their own cookies or collect anonymized usage data.
5. Data Retention
We retain web log data in anonymized, aggregate form for up to 24 months for the purpose of understanding long-term traffic trends. Contact form submissions are retained only for as long as needed to resolve the inquiry, and no longer than 12 months.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding any personal data we hold:
- Right of access: Request a copy of data we hold about you
- Right to erasure: Request deletion of your data
- Right to object: Object to certain processing of your data
Since we collect minimal data and do not maintain user accounts, most of these rights are satisfied by the nature of our site. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our contact page.
7. Children's Privacy
Palia Hub is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Palia Hub after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
