Privacy Policy

1. Scope and purpose

This Privacy Policy describes how Windrose Atlas (“we”, “us”, or “the Site”) collects, uses, and discloses information when you visit or use our website. It applies to visitors who access pages, tools, and content we publish at this domain. By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

2. Data controller and contact

The operator responsible for this website may be reached for privacy-related inquiries at: contact@windrosegame.xyz. Please include “Privacy” in the subject line and a clear description of your request so we can route it appropriately.

3. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the Site, we or our service providers may process the following categories of data:

• Technical and usage data. Such as IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps. This data is typically collected automatically to deliver pages securely and to understand aggregate traffic patterns.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We may use cookies, local storage, or similar mechanisms for essential functionality (for example, remembering preferences) and, where enabled, for analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may affect how some features behave.
• Information you send us voluntarily. If you email us, we will process the content of your message and associated metadata (such as your email address) to respond to you.
• Guestbook messages. Messages you choose to post are public, including your optional display name, message, and posting time. Your browser stores a random anonymous identifier to support posting. The comments service stores only a keyed digest of that identifier. Temporary network digests used to limit spam change daily; raw IP addresses are not stored in the comments database.

4. How we use information

We use the information described above for purposes that include:

• Operating, maintaining, and securing the Site;
• Measuring performance and improving content and layout;
• Communicating with you when you contact us;
• Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our terms.

Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate legal bases such as legitimate interests (for example, network security and service improvement), performance of a contract where relevant, or consent where we expressly request it.

5. Sharing and processors

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with vendors that provide hosting, content delivery, analytics, or security services on our behalf. Those providers are authorized to use personal information only as necessary to perform services for us and are expected to implement appropriate safeguards. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of users or the public.

6. Retention

We retain information only for as long as needed for the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Technical logs may be retained for a limited period consistent with industry practice and then aggregated or deleted.

7. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, rectify, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information, or to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise rights that may apply to you, contact us at the email address in Section 2. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

9. Children

The Site is not directed at children under the age where parental consent is required for online services in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. If you believe we have collected information from a child inappropriately, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

10. International visitors

If you access the Site from outside the country where our servers or processors are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where required, we will implement appropriate safeguards in line with applicable law.

11. Third-party sites and embeds

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or embedded content (such as maps or storefronts). Those parties process information under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies before providing personal data to them.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Material changes may be highlighted on the Site where practicable. Continued use of the Site after an update constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.
