About this policy
This policy explains what Riftbound.org learns about you when you visit and what happens to that information.
Riftbound.org is a fan project. It is not run by Riot Games or UVS Games, and neither of them receives data from us.
What the site receives
You can browse the whole site without telling us who you are. There is nothing to sign up for.
Like every website, the site receives some technical data each time your browser asks for a page:
- your IP address,
- the date and time of the request,
- the page you asked for and the page that linked you to it,
- the type and version of your browser and operating system.
The server can keep this data in its log files. The site also stores a random session identifier in a cookie. That identifier is not linked to a name or an account.
When you write to us
The contact form asks for your name, your email address, a subject and your message. The site sends these to our mailbox by email. It does not keep a copy in a database of its own.
If you write to [email protected] instead, we receive your email address and what you wrote.
The feedback bar above the footer of every page opens a form that asks what you want to tell us and, only if you would like an answer, your email address. You can add a screenshot of the page as it is shown in your browser. Your browser makes that screenshot itself, and it is only sent when the box for it is ticked. The site keeps feedback in a database of its own and mails a copy to our mailbox. With it, the site records the address of the page, the size of your browser window and the type of browser you use, so that we can find the cause of what you report.
We use these details to answer you and to deal with what you wrote about, and for nothing else. Messages and feedback are deleted once they are no longer needed for that.
What the site does not do
- It does not use analytics or visitor statistics.
- It does not show advertising.
- It does not follow you across other websites or build a profile of you.
- It does not sell or trade data about visitors.
Why the data is used
The technical data is used to send you the pages you ask for, to keep the site secure and to find the cause of errors. Under the GDPR and the UK GDPR the legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a working and safe website, Article 6(1)(f). Messages and feedback are handled on the same basis, our interest being to answer the people who write to us and to fix what they report.
Others who receive data
Riot Games
Card images are stored on this site where possible. Other images, and the icons for domains, rarities and rules text, load straight from image servers run by Riot Games at rgpub.io. To fetch them your browser connects to those servers. Riot then sees your IP address and the type of browser you use, the same as when you visit the official Riftbound site. The privacy notice of Riot Games covers what happens to that data.
Cloudflare
To keep automated senders out, the contact form and the feedback form run a check called Turnstile, a service of Cloudflare. It loads from Cloudflare when you open the contact page or the feedback form, and not before. Cloudflare receives your IP address and technical details of your browser, and tells the site whether the check passed. It does not receive your message or your feedback. The privacy policy of Cloudflare covers that data.
Hosting and mail
The company that hosts the site handles the technical data on our behalf in order to deliver the pages. Messages from the contact form and copies of feedback travel through the mail service the site uses.
Fonts
The fonts are served by the site itself. No font service is contacted.
Links
Websites we link to, such as the official Riftbound site and the Riot store, have privacy policies of their own.
How long data is kept
Session data expires after 2 hours without activity and is then removed. Log files are kept only for as long as they are needed to deal with faults and misuse.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, the law gives you rights over data about you. These can include the right to see that data, to have it corrected or deleted, to limit or object to its use, and to complain to the data protection authority of your country.
The site does not know who its visitors are. To find technical data about you we usually need the IP address and the time of your visit. A message or feedback can be found by the email address that was sent with it.
Children
The site is meant for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes
If the site starts to handle data differently, this page is updated first. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
