Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Sandustry Guide is an independent, fan-run informational site at sandustry.click. We are not affiliated with Lantto Games or Hooded Horse. This policy covers this domain only, not external sites linked from our guides.

2. Information processed when you visit

You do not need an account to read the site. We do not operate a contact form, comment system, newsletter, login, or user-profile database. Hosting and security providers may process standard request information such as IP address, URL, user agent, request time, approximate location derived from IP, and security signals to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and maintain uptime.

3. Analytics

When configured, Google Analytics 4 measures page visits and traffic sources using cookies and similar identifiers. Analytics storage is granted by default when the site loads; there is no consent dialog. Microsoft Clarity helps us understand aggregate navigation, heatmaps, and masked session interactions.

4. Google advertising and AdSense

If Google AdSense is enabled after site approval, Google and its advertising partners may place or read cookies, use web beacons, collect IP addresses or other device identifiers, measure ad delivery, prevent fraud, and show personalized or non-personalized ads according to your choices and applicable law. We do not send names or email addresses to Google in ad requests.

When enabled, Adsterra may show native banner ads below article and hub content and may use cookies or similar identifiers for delivery, frequency control, and measurement.

See how Google uses information from partner sites and Google's privacy policy.

5. Regional privacy requirements

The site loads analytics and advertising storage with consent granted by default and does not display its own consent message. Where local law gives you rights over data collection, you can use browser controls or contact us through the Cookie Policy.

6. Cookies and local storage

Necessary storage remembers the selected locale and supports delivery and security. Google Analytics may set analytics cookies or use similar technologies. See the Cookie Policy for categories, purposes, and browser controls.

7. Children's privacy

This informational site is not designed or marketed as a service for children and does not knowingly collect information from children through accounts, forms, or profiles. We do not use site activity to create child-directed advertising audiences.

8. Data retention and control

Hosting, Google, and Microsoft apply their own retention schedules and controls. You can clear or block cookies in your browser, use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or contact us about a specific request.

9. External links

Steam, Discord, YouTube, Google, Microsoft, and other external sites operate under their own terms and privacy policies once you leave sandustry.click.

10. Contact and policy changes

Privacy questions can be sent to [email protected]. We update this page when providers or data practices materially change and show the revision date above.
