Information We Collect

Information you provide

Information is collected when you choose to provide it. Depending on the feature you use, this may include:

• your name and email address;
• a public leaderboard name and private email address used to reserve or restore a Daily Dungeon leaderboard identity across devices;
• the subject and contents of a message sent through the contact form;
• subscription preferences or an email address submitted for site updates;
• account or profile information when an account feature is available to you;
• content, files, comments, or other material you choose to submit through an available site feature; and
• details included in correspondence about a question, correction, project, order, or support request.

Please do not send passwords, payment card details, financial records, health information, or other sensitive personal information through the contact form.

Information collected automatically

The website and its hosting systems may automatically record technical information needed to deliver pages, protect the site, and diagnose problems. This may include:

• your Internet Protocol address;
• browser, device, and operating system details;
• the page or website that referred you to this site;
• pages viewed, searches performed, links followed, and the date and time of a request;
• login, session, security, and error records; and
• information used to identify spam, automated traffic, abuse, or unauthorized access.

This technical information may identify a device or connection, but it is not normally used by Elvyler's Game Room to identify an individual visitor by name.

How Information Is Used

Information collected through the site may be used to:

• display and deliver the website and its content;
• respond to messages, questions, corrections, and other requests;
• send updates that you have asked to receive;
• operate login, account, moderation, shop, or administrative features when those features are available;
• operate Daily Dungeon leaderboards, reserve public leaderboard names, link verified devices, and send identity verification codes;
• understand which pages and features are useful to visitors;
• improve site content, navigation, accessibility, reliability, and performance;
• detect and prevent spam, fraud, malicious activity, and unauthorized access;
• investigate technical problems and maintain backups;
• meet legal obligations and respond to lawful requests; and
• protect the rights, property, and safety of the site, its visitors, and other people.

Personal information will not be used for a materially different purpose without an appropriate reason or consent where required by applicable law.

Cookies and Site Technology

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Elvyler's Game Room may use cookies, local storage, session data, and related technologies for functions such as:

• maintaining a secure browsing or login session;
• remembering preferences and authentication choices;
• protecting forms against forged requests and automated abuse;
• remembering items or activity connected to shop features;
• assigning a pseudonymous Daily Dungeon browser identifier used to prevent duplicate daily entries and link a device after email verification;
• measuring traffic and site performance; and
• supporting embedded content or third-party services.

Some cookies are needed for security or core site features. Blocking them may prevent parts of the site from working correctly. Your browser settings can be used to view, block, or delete cookies.

Hosting services and traffic measurement tools may use aggregated or pseudonymous information to provide statistics about site visits and performance. These tools may process technical details such as IP address, browser information, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from an IP address.

Embedded Content, External Links, and Affiliate Links

Embedded content

Articles may include content hosted by another website, such as videos, images, documents, social posts, storefront widgets, or game-related tools. Interacting with embedded content can allow the provider to collect information, set cookies, or track that interaction as though you had visited the provider directly.

External websites

Links may lead to forums, publishers, game stores, crowdfunding pages, social networks, or other websites. Elvyler's Game Room does not control how those services collect or use information. Review the privacy policy of the service you are visiting when privacy details matter to you.

Affiliate links

Some articles may contain affiliate links. A link may include a referral identifier, and the merchant or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technology to record that the visit or purchase came from Elvyler's Game Room. A qualifying purchase may result in a small commission that helps support the website. Affiliate tracking and purchases are handled under the merchant's or affiliate network's privacy policy.

Sharing and Retention

When information may be shared

Elvyler's Game Room does not sell or rent personal information. Information may be disclosed in limited situations, including:

• to hosting, email, security, analytics, backup, payment, or other service providers that help operate the website;
• when you ask for or consent to a particular disclosure;
• when required by law, court order, or another lawful process;
• when reasonably needed to investigate abuse, fraud, security threats, or violations of site terms; or
• as part of a future transfer, reorganization, or sale of the website, subject to appropriate handling of the information.

Service providers may process information in Canada, the United States, or another country where they or their systems operate. Information processed in another country may be subject to that country's laws.

How long information is kept

Information is retained only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, to operate and protect the site, to maintain appropriate records, or to meet legal obligations.

Contact messages may be kept long enough to respond and maintain a reasonable history of correspondence. Account records may remain until the account is removed or no longer needed. Reserved Daily Dungeon leaderboard names, linked-device records, and the associated encrypted email address may be retained while the reservation remains active. Short-lived verification-code records expire automatically and may be retained briefly for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. Security logs, backups, cached pages, and diagnostic records may remain for limited operational periods after the original information is deleted.

Security and Data Protection

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These safeguards may include access controls, encrypted connections, software updates, backups, logging, and security monitoring.

No website, email system, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. You are responsible for protecting any password or account credentials provided to you and for reporting suspected unauthorized access.

Your Choices, Requests, and Children's Privacy

Your privacy choices

Depending on your location and the nature of your interaction with the site, you may ask to:

• learn whether personal information about you is being held;
• access or receive a copy of that information;
• correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• delete information that no longer needs to be retained;
• request release or deletion of a reserved Daily Dungeon leaderboard identity, understanding that this may remove cross-device access to the name;
• withdraw consent for an optional use of your information; or
• unsubscribe from optional email updates.

A request may require reasonable identity verification. Some information may need to be retained for security, administrative, legal, or recordkeeping purposes. Browser privacy settings can be used to manage cookies and related storage.

Children's privacy

The site is intended for a broad tabletop gaming audience, but it is not designed to collect personal information from children without the involvement of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the site, please use the contact page so the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
