At The Paths to Airalar Wiki, we prioritize the privacy and security of our visitors. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that The Paths to Airalar Wiki (from this point onward our site) receives and collects, and how it is used.
Information Collection and Use
As we are not currently accepting member requests, our site does not require visitors to register to read the articles, and therefore, we do not collect any personal information, such as names, addresses, email addresses, or telephone numbers when you visit. We do collect some information as described below.
IP Addresses
When you visit our site, we automatically receive the IP address of the device (or your proxy server) you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to infer your geographical location.
Information We Receive Automatically
Because of how browsers work, we receive some information automatically when you visit our site. This includes when you use an online tool on a third-party site that loads information coming from our site. This information includes the type of device you are using (possibly including unique device identification numbers, for some beta versions of our mobile applications), the type and version of your browser, your browser's language preference, the type and version of your device's operating system, in some cases the name of your internet service provider or mobile carrier, the website that referred you to our site, which pages you request and visit, and the date and time of each request you make to our site.
Put simply, we use this information to enhance your experience with our site. For example, we use this information to administer our site, provide greater security, and fight vandalism; optimize mobile applications, customize content and set language preferences, test features to see what works, and improve performance; understand how users interact with our site, track and study use of various features, gain understanding about the demographics of our site, and analyze trends.
Information We Collect
We actively collect some types of information with a variety of commonly-used technologies. These generally include tracking pixels, JavaScript, and a variety of "locally stored data" technologies, such as cookies and local storage. These types of technologies may also be used in online tools on a third-party site that loads information from our site. We realize that some of these technologies do not have the best reputation in town and can be used for less-than-noble purposes. So we want to be as clear as we can about why we use these methods and the type of information we collect with them.
Depending on which technology we use, locally stored data may include text, Personal Information (like your IP address), and information about your use of our site. We use this information to make your experience with our site safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with our site, and to generally improve our services. We will never use third-party cookies.
Sharing of Information
Information we may collect, like IP Addresses, are for internal use only. We do not share information with any third party person or company except for the tools we use to analyze traffic, and this is also only for internal use.
