Privacy Policy
This is a template privacy policy for the Great Holy Xanarcica Empire (GXE). Replace and localize this policy to match the legal requirements and practices of your jurisdiction before publishing.
1. Data we collect
We collect only the data necessary for the services you request. Typical categories include:
- Account information (email address, display name, NationStates name if provided).
- Usage data (pages visited, device/browser metadata, and preference settings stored locally such as theme).
- Optional profile fields you provide when signing up.
2. How we use data
We use data to provide and maintain the site, to manage accounts, to process admin approvals (if enabled), and to improve the service. We do not sell personal data.
3. Cookies and local storage
The site uses cookies and localStorage to persist preferences (theme, clocks) and session/demo authentication when used. Cookies are used for site personalization. If you would like cookies restricted or removed, you may change your browser settings.
4. Third-party services
The site may call third-party services for specific features, for example:
- Open-Meteo for weather data (no API key required).
- Firebase (optional) for authentication and Firestore if configured by the site operator.
5. Account approval and notifications
Account approval workflows and notification emails are optional. Automated emails are disabled by default and can be enabled by the administrator. If you prefer manual notification, keep automated email sending disabled.
6. Data retention
We retain account and profile data for as long as necessary to provide services. Administrators may delete or export user data on request.
7. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data by contacting the site administrator at the address below.
