Privacy Policy

The Sacred Trust

Runelith honors your privacy as ancient guardians honored sacred trusts. This scroll reveals exactly what information we gather, how we employ it, and your dominion over that information. We follow a path of minimal collection, gathering only what necessity demands for providing free entertainment.

What We Gather

Runelith collects minimal information required for realm operation. Upon your arrival, we inscribe a simple age verification mark in your device's localStorage - a basic rune confirming you've verified being 18 or older. This mark remains on your device, never journeying to our keeps. It contains no personal revelation and cannot identify you individually.

Our realm's gateways automatically record standard technical details common to all digital domains: IP addresses, browser types and versions, device information, operating systems, pages visited, timestamps, and referring locations. This passive gathering occurs naturally and helps us maintain security, diagnose technical ailments, and optimize realm performance.

Purpose of Our Collection

Gathered information serves specific purposes aligned with providing entertainment. Age verification ensures compliance with our 18+ requirement while preventing repetitive verification rituals. Technical logs enable us to identify and remedy problems, monitor for security threats, optimize loading speeds, understand traffic patterns, and ensure compatibility across different devices and viewing portals.

Runelith does not monetize visitor information. We sell nothing to outsiders, engage not in behavioral manipulation, create no profiles for marketing purposes, and participate not in data brokerage. Our realm generates no revenue, eliminating any monetary incentive to exploit visitor information.

Storage Methods

We employ browser localStorage exclusively for age verification. This device-side storage keeps data on your own equipment rather than transmitting it to our strongholds. You maintain complete dominion and can erase this information anytime through your browser's settings. Doing so requires age verification upon your next visit but grants you total control.

Runelith uses no tracking mechanisms - no surveillance runes, no analytics inscriptions, no advertising marks, no third-party trackers. Your journey through our realm is not monitored, tracked, or profiled beyond basic gateway logs maintained for operational purposes.

External Pathways

Our realm contains pathways to external domains, including responsible gaming sanctuaries like GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These external realms operate independently with their own privacy practices. Runelith exercises no control over and accepts no responsibility for the privacy practices of these foreign domains. We encourage reviewing the practices of any external realms accessed through our pathways.

Protective Measures

We implement reasonable technical and organizational defenses to protect the limited information associated with Runelith. However, absolute security exists nowhere - no transmission or storage method is completely impervious. While we take security seriously, visitors acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with digital journeys.

Protection of Young Ones

Runelith is absolutely not crafted for anyone below 18 years. We do not knowingly gather, store, process, or retain information from minors. Our age verification serves as the primary guardian against underage entry. Should we discover that a minor has entered our realm, we shall immediately prevent further access and purge any associated records.

Your Dominion

Because Runelith stores information on your device, you maintain direct dominion over it. You can clear age verification consent anytime by accessing your browser's settings and deleting localStorage data for Runelith. This action removes the age verification mark, requiring re-verification on subsequent visits while granting you complete control.

Regarding gateway logs, these are typically retained briefly for security and diagnostic purposes before automatic purging. If you have specific concerns about this data, contact us through information provided within our realm.

Sharing Practices

Runelith does not sell, rent, trade, or transfer visitor information to external parties. We do not participate in data sharing with merchants, advertisers, or information brokers. The only circumstances under which information might be revealed would be to comply with valid legal mandates (such as court decrees) or to protect realm security and integrity against malicious forces.

Travelers from Distant Lands

Runelith welcomes visitors from across the globe. Travelers from different territories may have varying privacy rights under local laws. We respect these rights and shall comply with legitimate requests made under applicable privacy frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, or similar legislation in other jurisdictions.

Evolution of This Scroll

This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically to reflect changes in practices, legal requirements, or realm features. Significant changes shall be indicated by updating the inscription date above. Continued presence after modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated scroll. We recommend periodic review to remain informed about our privacy practices.

Communication

Questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy may be directed to Runelith through contact methods provided within our realm. We take privacy inquiries seriously and shall respond to legitimate concerns as promptly as reasonably possible.
