Privacy PolicyUpdated 28 Sep 2026

Plain-language data practices

This policy describes what the site currently collects, how Google Analytics, Adsterra and infrastructure providers may process data, and which pages load each service.

01 / Scope

What this policy covers

This policy applies to swordsandslippers.wiki and direct communications sent to its published contact address. The site is an independent fan-made resource and is not part of Mass Creation, Steam, Patreon or another linked service.

Current implementation

The site is static and offers optional Google Analytics 4 under measurement ID G-W7K3XYQ5NG to understand aggregate traffic and page use. The Home, Builds, Characters, Combat and Patreon access content pages load Adsterra native advertising. About, Contact, Privacy and 404 pages do not load advertising scripts. Cloudflare also injects a browser performance analytics beacon into delivered pages. The site contains no account system, comments, newsletter signup or contact form.

02 / Information

Information that may be processed

Email you choose to send

If you contact the site, the message may include your email address, display name, message content, attachments and any other information you choose to provide.

Technical request data

When the site is delivered through Cloudflare, Cloudflare may process technical information needed to route, secure and operate requests. This can include IP addresses, traffic-routing data, system configuration and other request metadata. Cloudflare describes its role and practices in its Privacy Policy ↗.

Cloudflare performance analytics

The delivered website includes a Cloudflare browser beacon for page-performance measurement, observed on 17 September 2026. It operates separately from the optional Google tag and may send page-load and performance information to Cloudflare. The controls below apply only to Google Analytics; rejecting Google Analytics does not disable Cloudflare’s hosting-level beacon. See Cloudflare Web Analytics documentation for the service description.

Google Analytics data

Google Analytics may receive information about page views, referrals, approximate location, device and browser characteristics, and interactions configured as analytics events. Google explains how it handles information from sites using its services in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services ↗.

Adsterra advertising

The five content pages listed above load a third-party advertising script from bauval.org to display Adsterra native ads. Loading this script makes requests to an external advertising service. Adsterra and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery and measurement. See Adsterra’s Privacy Policy ↗ and Cookies Policy ↗ for provider information.

Information not requested

The site does not ask for account passwords, payment-card details, government identifiers, game keys or private Patreon credentials. Do not send them by email.

03 / Use

Why information is used

  • To respond to questions, correction reports and privacy requests.
  • To review evidence and correct inaccurate or outdated pages.
  • To protect the site, investigate abuse and diagnose availability or security problems.
  • To measure aggregate traffic, understand which pages and links are useful, and prioritize site improvements.
  • To maintain a record of material editorial decisions where needed.
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations or enforce legitimate site protections.

04 / Cookies, analytics & ads

Optional Google Analytics; Adsterra on content pages

Google Analytics 4 loads only after you select Allow analytics. Before a choice, or after Reject analytics, this website does not request the Google Analytics tag. You can change your Google Analytics choice using the controls on this privacy page. These controls apply only to Google Analytics: they do not switch off Adsterra advertising on selected content pages or Cloudflare’s separately delivered performance beacon. The analytics preference is stored in this browser for up to 180 days; clearing browser storage removes it. Analytics may use cookies to distinguish visits and measure usage. Depending on security settings and traffic conditions, Cloudflare may also use cookies that it describes as necessary for security or service delivery.

Adsterra ads load on Home, Builds, Characters, Combat and Patreon access. Advertising loads independently of the optional analytics choice. About, Contact, Privacy and 404 pages do not load advertising scripts. Browser settings or content-blocking tools can restrict third-party advertising requests.

05 / Sharing

Service providers

Service providers include Google for optional Analytics, Adsterra and its partners for advertising on content pages, Cloudflare for delivery, security and performance measurement, and email providers for correspondence. These services process information under their respective terms and privacy practices.

External links lead to services with their own privacy practices. Opening Steam, Patreon, Mass Creation or another external destination is governed by that destination's policy, not this one.

06 / Retention & security

Keep only what remains useful

Email and correction material is retained only as long as reasonably needed to answer the message, document a correction, prevent abuse or meet applicable obligations. Analytics, hosting and network-log retention is controlled by the relevant provider and product configuration.

No online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information or executable files.

07 / Your choices

Access, correction and deletion requests

Depending on where you live and the circumstances, you may have rights concerning personal information associated with your email correspondence. You can ask what information is held, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing.

To turn off this site’s optional analytics, choose Reject analytics above. To restrict advertising requests, use your browser’s privacy settings or a content-blocking tool. You can also limit cookies through browser settings or read Google’s Analytics opt-out instructions ↗. Blocking cookies or scripts may affect analytics collection or advertising behavior but should not prevent access to the site's editorial content.

Send privacy requests to:

qsyhxw@gmail.com

Use the subject “Privacy request” and describe the request clearly. Additional information may be needed to verify that the request concerns you.

08 / Changes

Policy updates follow implementation

This policy may change when site features, providers or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be updated when material revisions are published. The current version will remain linked from the site Footer.

For general site questions and correction instructions, visit Contact & Corrections. For editorial standards, read About & Editorial Method.

Contact and email privacy

For privacy questions or requests about information you have sent to this website, contact qsyhxw@gmail.com and include the website domain and relevant page URL.

Messages are received through Gmail, provided by Google. We use your email address and the information you choose to send to review and respond to your request. Email processing is also subject to Google’s privacy policy. Please send only the details needed for the request, without passwords, payment details or sensitive account information.
