This Privacy Policy explains how Megabonk Item Guide (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website. This site is primarily a read‑only wiki/guide. We use Google AdSense to display ads.

1) Who we are (data controller)

The operator of this website is the content creator listed on the site. For privacy questions or requests, contact us at indiesnek@gmail.com.

2) What information we collect

Information you provide

  • If you email us, we will receive your email address and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically

  • Log data: like most websites, our hosting/CDN providers may process basic technical logs (e.g., IP address, user agent, requested URL, approximate timestamps) for security, abuse prevention, and performance.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies, local storage, or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads.

3) Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to show ads. AdSense may collect and process information such as: device identifiers, cookies, IP address, approximate location, browser/device information, and interactions with ads (e.g., impressions and clicks). Google may use this data to provide, personalize (where permitted), limit, and measure ads.

Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services here: Google: Partner sites policy.

4) Cookie/consent information (EEA/UK/Switzerland)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or Switzerland, we may be required to obtain your consent for certain types of cookies/identifiers and for personalized advertising. Google may present a consent message (often via a Google‑certified Consent Management Platform) where required.

You can also control ad personalization through Google’s ad settings: adssettings.google.com.

5) Legal bases (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we generally rely on:

  • Consent for advertising cookies/identifiers and ad personalization where required.
  • Legitimate interests for essential security and operation (e.g., preventing abuse, keeping the site stable).

6) Sharing of information

We may share information in the following ways:

  • Vendors/service providers (e.g., hosting/CDN) who help us run the site.
  • Advertising partners (Google AdSense) for ad delivery and measurement.
  • Legal reasons if required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

7) International transfers

Our vendors (including Google) may process data outside your country (including outside the EU/EEA). Where required, such transfers are handled using appropriate safeguards (for example, standard contractual clauses) as described by the relevant provider.

8) Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described:

  • Email correspondence: retained as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record‑keeping.
  • Technical logs: retained according to our hosting/provider policies and security needs.
  • Advertising data: retained according to Google’s policies.

9) Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, portability, and withdrawing consent. To exercise rights related to our site, contact us at indiesnek@gmail.com.

Note: ad personalization/measurement is largely controlled by Google and the consent tools provided. You can also use Google’s controls and opt‑out tools (see links above).

If you are in the EEA/UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10) Children

This site is not directed to children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

11) Third‑party links

Our site may link to third‑party sites (e.g., Discord, YouTube). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

12) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
