Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information halocampaign-evolved.wiki (the "Site") may collect, how it is used, and your choices. We aim to collect only what is necessary to operate a static fan wiki.
The Site is not operated by Microsoft, Xbox, Halo Studios, or any game publisher. Privacy practices described here apply only to this Site.
Information We Collect
Server and CDN logs: When you visit the Site, our hosting provider (such as Cloudflare Pages) may automatically record standard technical data including IP address, browser type, requested URL, referrer, and timestamp. This is typical for web hosting and security.
Analytics (if enabled): We may use privacy-oriented or standard analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic — pages viewed, approximate region, device category, and session duration. Analytics are configured to minimize personal data where possible.
Contact information: If you email us or submit a form, we receive whatever you voluntarily provide (such as your email address and message content).
We do not operate game accounts, do not require login to read the wiki, and do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal data.
How We Use Information
Technical logs are used to deliver pages, detect abuse, diagnose errors, and maintain security.
Analytics help us prioritize which guides and languages to improve based on aggregate readership — not to build individual advertising profiles.
Contact messages are used solely to respond to your inquiry or correct wiki content when requested.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use your data for targeted advertising on behalf of third parties.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The Site may set essential cookies required for language preference, cookie consent, or CDN functionality. Optional analytics cookies, if any, are described in our Cookie Policy.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect basic Site features such as remembering your locale.
Third-Party Services
The Site is deployed on third-party infrastructure (hosting, DNS, CDN). Those providers process technical data under their own privacy policies.
Embedded external links (Steam, Halo Waypoint, platform stores) are not iframes by default. If we embed third-party widgets in the future, this policy will be updated.
We are not responsible for privacy practices of websites you visit after leaving the Site.
Data Retention
Server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and operations, typically on rolling windows defined by our host.
Analytics data is retained according to the analytics provider's settings, often in aggregated form.
Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to resolve the inquiry, unless law requires longer retention.
Your Rights
Depending on your region (including GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and similar laws), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data we hold about you.
Because we collect minimal identifiable data, many requests may relate to server logs or optional analytics identifiers. Contact us with sufficient detail to locate your request.
You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights were violated.
Children's Privacy
The Site is a general-audience game reference resource. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction).
If you believe a child provided personal data to us, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
International Visitors
The Site may be accessed globally. Data may be processed in countries where our hosting and analytics providers operate.
By using the Site, you acknowledge that your technical data may cross borders with appropriate safeguards as required by law.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy when our tooling, hosting, or legal obligations change. The "Last updated" date on the page reflects the latest revision.
Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
