We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and who might have access to it.

Our Approach to Privacy

We don’t sell, rent, or voluntarily share your personal information with third parties. We’ve specifically chosen privacy-focused service providers and hosting in Germany because we believe in stronger data protection standards.

What Information We Collect

Our website has two separate parts: our main WordPress site and our forum powered by XenForo. These don’t share data with each other.

On Our Main Website (faithgamer.com): This is a read-only informational site — there are no user accounts and no way to submit content. We don’t collect any personal information through this site. Our contact page simply displays an email address for you to write to us directly if you wish; anything you choose to include in that email is up to you.

On Our Forum (community.faithgamer.com): If you choose to register for an account, you can provide information like your name, email address, and social media links. This is all optional except for what’s required to create an account. Registration also requires your date of birth, collected to confirm you meet our minimum age requirement — you can choose whether to display your day/month and year of birth on your profile in your privacy settings. Your password is encrypted and cannot be viewed or recovered by our team.

Analytics and Tracking

On our main WordPress site, we use Independent Analytics to understand basic traffic patterns. This tells us things like how many people visit each day, which pages are popular, what browsers people use, and which countries visitors come from. We can also see which search engine brought you to us, but we cannot see what you searched for, and we cannot identify individual visitors.

We do not use any analytics or tracking on our forum.

How We Use Your Information

Emails sent to our contact address are sent to an email address that only our site administrators can access. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We use Proton Mail for our email specifically because of their strong privacy protections. Your date of birth is used solely to confirm eligibility to use the forum.

Who Might Have Access to Data

We’ve chosen our service providers carefully with privacy in mind:

[Redacted] hosts our websites on servers in Germany. Our WordPress site and forum are on separate servers. We chose German hosting because we trust their privacy standards.

Wasabi Technologies stores our automated backups in their Frankfurt, Germany region.

Proton handles our email communications and is known for privacy-focused services.

These companies may have technical access to data stored on their systems as part of providing their services, but we do not voluntarily share your information with them or anyone else.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. Forum passwords are encrypted and cannot be accessed by our team. Our backups are automated and stored securely.

Your Rights

You have the right to know what information we hold about you, request corrections, or ask us to delete your information. If you’ve emailed us or registered on our forum and would like your information removed, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
