Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Gakuran Guide is an unofficial fan resource for the Roblox game Gakuran (学乱). The Site is a static website, but it does embed third-party tools and advertising. This means that while we do not run our own account system or ask you to sign up, certain partners described in this policy may set cookies or process limited device data when you visit. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect Directly

We do not ask for, and do not knowingly collect, personal data such as your name, email address, phone number, or payment information. We do not operate user accounts, comments, or forums. The Site is read-only reference content.

Your browser may automatically share technical details that hosting and analytics providers record, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. These are processed in aggregate or pseudonymous form and are described in the relevant sections below.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. The Site and its partners use cookies and similar technologies (web beacons, pixel tags, local shared objects, device identifiers, or advertising IDs) for the purposes listed below.

• Essential / First-party storage: the Site uses your browser's Local Storage only for features you have requested, such as the Progress Tracker and search history. This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.
• Advertising: third-party advertising vendors, including Google, use cookies to select and display ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. See Section 4.
• Analytics: measurement tools help us understand which pages are read. See Section 5.
• Embedded content: YouTube videos may set cookies. See Section 6.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser's privacy or cookie settings. Disabling cookies will not break the core reading experience, though some tools (Progress Tracker) rely on Local Storage.

4. Third-Party Advertising (including Google)

Third parties, including Google and other ad networks, use cookies and similar identifiers to serve ads on this Site.These partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, mobile advertising IDs, and similar technologies to:

• store information about the ads they have shown you and measure how those ads perform;
• serve ads based on your past visits to this Site or other sites across the web (interest-based / behavioral advertising);
• limit how many times you see a given ad (frequency capping);
• report on campaign reach and conversions in aggregate.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of Google's personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or learn more at Google's advertising policy page. Other advertising partners typically offer their own opt-out pages; we encourage you to review their policies.

Interest-based advertising disclosure. Some ads shown here may be tailored to your inferred interests. This is known as Interest-Based Advertising (IBA). IBA uses information such as the types of sites you visit and apps you use to select ads that are more relevant to you. It does not identify you personally, and you can control it through the ad settings linked above or your browser settings.

We do not pass personally identifiable information (such as an email address or phone number) to advertising partners, and you should never place such information in URLs or form fields on this Site.

5. Analytics

The Site uses a privacy-respecting analytics solution that records aggregated, pseudonymous traffic data (such as page views, country, and referrer) so we can understand which content is useful. Where Google measurement products are used, the data is processed under Google's terms and is used only to improve the Site and measure ad performance. You can opt out of Google analytics cookies in your browser settings or via the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

6. Third-Party Embedded Content & Links

Some pages embed YouTube videos for tutorial content. YouTube/Google may set cookies when the player loads, even before you press play, in line with YouTube's own privacy policy. The Site also links to external services such as Roblox, Discord, and Trello — each has its own privacy practices that we do not control. We are not responsible for the content or data practices of third-party sites.

7. Hosting

The Site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs (for example IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for security and operational purposes such as DDoS protection. Refer to Vercel's privacy policy for details.

8. Children's Privacy & Mixed Audience

Gakuran Guide is a fan resource for a game played on Roblox, which is COPPA-compliant. We recognize that such games can attract a mixed-age audience that may include children, and we treat the Site accordingly:

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your region).
• We do not knowingly target advertising to children, and we do not knowingly build audience lists based on children's data.
• We do not process sensitive categories of personal data (health, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) for ad targeting.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact usand we will take steps to delete it. Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise children's use of the Site and to use device-level parental controls and ad personalization settings.

9. EU, UK, and Data Rights

For visitors in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other regions with data-protection laws, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Site for essential functions and security. Advertising and analytics cookies are described in Sections 4 and 5 above; you can manage or disable them through your browser settings at any time.

You have rights to access, correct, or delete data held about you by our partners. Because we do not hold personal data ourselves, please address such requests to the relevant partner (Google, Vercel, YouTube) or contact us for assistance.

10. Your Choices

• Manage browser cookies in your browser's privacy or cookie settings.
• Opt out of Google personalized ads via Google Ads Settings.
• Reset the in-site Progress Tracker or wiki search history from the relevant tool's UI, which clears its Local Storage entry.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, partners, or legal requirements. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Material changes will be noted at the top of the policy.
