Privacy policy

Last updated: 9 June 2026

Data controller

The controller responsible for HytaleWiki is [COMPLETE: full legal name of the individual or organisation], located at [COMPLETE: legally appropriate contact address].

Privacy enquiries and data-protection requests can be sent to [COMPLETE: privacy contact email].

Scope

This policy applies to personal data processed through hytalewiki.info. Links may lead to independent third-party websites governed by their own privacy policies.

Information processed

Depending on how the wiki is used, HytaleWiki may process:

technical and security logs, including IP address, date and time, requested URL, browser information, response status and abuse-prevention records;
account and authentication information for users authorised to sign in;
public contributions, revisions and the username or account identity associated with them;
preferences and session information needed to provide requested wiki features; and
information voluntarily provided in messages or data-protection requests.

HytaleWiki does not use Google Analytics, advertising technologies or cross-site tracking, and does not create visitor profiles for marketing or audience measurement.

Purposes and legal bases

Personal data may be processed to:

operate, maintain and secure the wiki;
authenticate authorised users and provide requested features;
prevent spam, fraud, attacks and other misuse;
maintain the integrity and attribution history of wiki content;
respond to enquiries and exercise data-protection rights; and
comply with applicable legal obligations.

The applicable legal bases may include the controller's legitimate interests in operating and protecting the service, steps necessary to provide a requested service, compliance with legal obligations and, where required, consent.

Public contributions

Content submitted to public wiki pages, its revision history and the associated username may remain publicly available. Contributors should not publish personal data unless doing so is necessary and lawful.

Removing information from the current version of a page does not necessarily remove it from revision history, backups, moderation records or legally required records. Requests concerning personal information in public content can be sent to the privacy contact address above.

Cookies and browser storage

HytaleWiki uses only storage that is technically necessary for security, authentication, preferences or features requested by the visitor. It does not use analytics or advertising cookies. Further details are available in the cookie policy.

Recipients and service providers

Personal data may be processed by:

[COMPLETE: hosting provider, legal entity and country]; and
technical service providers strictly where necessary to host, maintain, secure or back up the wiki.

Data may also be disclosed where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. HytaleWiki does not sell personal data.

International transfers

[COMPLETE: state whether any provider processes data outside the European Economic Area and identify the applicable safeguards. If none do, state that no such transfers are intended.]

Retention

Server and security logs are retained for [COMPLETE: actual retention period].
Account and authentication records are retained for [COMPLETE: actual retention policy].
Public contribution and revision records are retained for [COMPLETE: actual policy and justification].
Messages and rights requests are retained for [COMPLETE: actual retention period].
Backups are retained for [COMPLETE: actual backup retention period].

Information may be kept longer where required by law, necessary for security investigations or needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Individual rights

Where applicable, individuals may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction or portability of their personal data, object to processing, or withdraw consent without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.

Requests can be sent to [COMPLETE: privacy contact email]. Identity may need to be verified before fulfilling a request. Some rights may be limited where data must be retained for legal, security or public contribution-history purposes.

Individuals may lodge a complaint with their competent supervisory authority. In Spain, this is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Changes

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the service, providers or legal requirements. The date above identifies the current version.
