Privacy Policy

Introduction

Overview & Scope

Welcome to Duskfade Guide (accessible from https://duskfade.quest). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information collected while you navigate our game walkthroughs, boss guides, and interactive tools.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how third-party services (such as Google AdSense and hosting CDN providers) handle information, and how you can exercise control over your personal privacy.

Telemetry & Logs

Information We Automatically Collect

Like most websites, our web hosting and Content Delivery Network (CDN) servers automatically record standard technical log files when you browse our pages. This information may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address (anonymized/truncated where applicable)
• Browser type, engine, and version
• Operating system and device category (desktop, tablet, or mobile)
• Referring website URL and exit pages
• Date and time stamp of each request

This data is used strictly for technical performance monitoring, server security, diagnosing network errors, and optimizing Core Web Vitals. It is not combined with personal identifying information.

Client-side Storage

Browser LocalStorage for Gaming Tools

Our interactive companion tools—including the 203 Collectibles Tracker and the Upgrade Calculator—use your browser's standard localStorage API to remember your checked items and character builds.

Important: This data remains 100% on your own local device. It is never transmitted to, processed by, or stored on our servers, and you can reset or clear this data at any time directly within the tool or by clearing your browser cache.

Advertising Policies

Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies

We partner with Google AdSense (Publisher ID: pub-1013839073923889) to display advertisements that fund server hosting and continuous game research. In connection with serving ads, Google and its advertising partners adhere to the following standards:

• Third-Party Vendors: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads on this website.
• Advertising Cookies: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to duskfade.quest and/or other websites across the Internet.

We comply with the Google EU User Consent Policy. For visitors from the EEA and UK, consent choices regarding non-essential cookies and ad personalization are collected in accordance with applicable legal standards.

California Privacy

Safeguards

Data Security & Transmission Safeguards

We implement industry-standard technical security measures to protect website operations. All web traffic between your browser and duskfade.quest is strictly enforced over encrypted Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS).

Because our website operates primarily as a static editorial guide with client-side interactive tools, we do not maintain user account databases, store passwords, or process credit card payments. Companion tool state remains exclusively on your own browser.

Storage duration

Data Retention Policies

We retain collected technical data only as long as necessary to satisfy operational, diagnostic, and security requirements:

• Server & CDN Edge Logs: Temporary diagnostic logs containing request timestamps, browser types, and truncated IP addresses are automatically rotated and purged within 30 to 90 days.
• Client-Side LocalStorage: Your progress records in the 203 Collectibles Tracker and Upgrade Calculator remain stored on your browser indefinitely until manually cleared by you.
• Direct Correspondence: If you reach out to our team via email, your correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to address your feedback or correction request.
