Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 24, 2027
This Privacy Policy describes how Dragon Forge (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use our website, community features, newsletters, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Introduction
We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about what we collect and why. This policy explains our practices in plain language and points you to choices you can make about your information.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect the categories below. We collect only what we need to operate, secure, and improve the Services.
Personal Information
Such as account details, display name, email address, and profile information you choose to provide when you register or contact us.
Usage Information
Such as IP address, device and browser type, general location derived from IP, pages viewed, and diagnostic data that helps us fix errors.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar tools for authentication, preferences, analytics, and (where applicable) advertising partners—subject to your choices.
We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve the Services. We do not collect sensitive personal information unless required by law or explicitly provided by you for a specific purpose we disclose at collection.
3. How We Use Information
- Provide, maintain, and secure accounts and community features.
- Personalize content recommendations and surface relevant games or guides.
- Communicate service updates, security notices, and (with consent) marketing messages.
- Analyze usage to improve performance, accessibility, and product quality.
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our policies.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on appropriate bases such as contract (providing the Services you request), legitimate interests (security and improvement, balanced against your rights), consent (where required), and legal obligations.
5. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist us (for example hosting, analytics, email delivery) under confidentiality and processing terms, when required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of our users and the Services.
6. International Transfers
If you access the Services from outside the country where we operate, your information may be processed in countries with different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
7. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described here, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the data category and context.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export certain information, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact us to exercise these rights.
9. Data Security
We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we work to apply widely accepted safeguards.
10. Children's Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under the age where parental consent is required in their region. If you believe we have collected information from a child without appropriate consent, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
11. Third-Party Links and Services
Our Services may link to third-party sites, embeds, or integrations (such as social platforms or payment providers). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies; we encourage you to review them.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version with a new effective date and, where changes are material, provide additional notice as required by law.
