Privacy Policy
What information this fan site handles, why, and what choices you have.
This site sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. The relic and achievement checklists save your ticks only in your own browser. The contact form sends nothing unless a delivery service is connected, and the page always tells you honestly whether a message was sent. You can also reach us by email, phone or post.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how the Relic Run Fan Guides website (the "site", "we", "us") handles information when you visit it. We have written it to describe how the site actually works today. We aim to collect as little information as possible.
If you don't agree with this policy, please don't use the site. If something here is unclear, see section 22.
2. About This Website
The site is an independent, non-commercial fan website with guides, tips and walkthroughs for the mobile game Lara Croft: Relic Run. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the game's developers, publishers or rights holders. It does not sell anything, does not offer accounts or logins, and does not provide game support.
The site is operated by Relic Run Fan Guides (contact details in section 22), which is responsible for the processing described in this policy.
The site is a set of static web pages. It has no user accounts, comments, forums or payment features.
3. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the site, the following categories of information may be involved:
- Information you choose to send us through the contact form, if a delivery service has been connected (see sections 4 and 5).
- Technical information that web servers typically record when any page is requested (see section 6).
- Checklist data stored only in your own browser, which we never receive (see section 9).
We don't knowingly collect sensitive information, and we ask you not to send it.
4. Visitor-Provided Information
The only place where you can type information intended for us is the contact form. It asks for your name or nickname, your email address, a topic, an optional page reference and your message. Providing this information is voluntary, but we can't reply without an email address.
You can also write to us directly by email, phone or post (see section 22). In that case we receive whatever you include, such as your email address, phone number or postal address, and we use it only to handle your enquiry, in the same way as contact form messages.
Please don't include passwords, game account details, payment information or other sensitive data in messages.
5. Contact Form Data
The contact form only transmits data if a form delivery service is connected to it.
- If no delivery service is connected, pressing "Send Message" does not send anything. Your text stays in your browser, and the page tells you that the message was not sent.
- If a delivery service is connected, the form data is sent to that service and forwarded to the site operator. It is used only to read and answer your message, handle corrections or deal with copyright requests.
At present, no form delivery service is connected, so the form does not transmit any data. If one is connected in the future, this policy will be updated to name the provider, which will process the data under its own privacy terms.
The legal basis for handling your message is your consent, given with the checkbox on the form, and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries about the site.
6. Automatically Collected Technical Information
The site itself does not run any tracking scripts. However, like almost all websites, the server that delivers the pages may automatically log technical details of each request, such as:
- IP address;
- date and time of the request;
- the page or file requested;
- browser and operating system information (user agent);
- the referring page, if your browser sends it.
These logs are handled by our hosting provider under its own privacy terms. We use them only to deliver the site, keep it secure and diagnose errors, never to identify or profile visitors.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site does not set any cookies of its own. It does use your browser's local storage for the checklists, as explained in section 9. Local storage is a similar technology, but its contents stay on your device and are not sent to our server with page requests.
A hosting provider can independently set purely technical cookies, for example for security; such cookies are never used by us for tracking or advertising. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.
8. How Information Is Used
We use information only to:
- deliver the site's pages to your browser;
- keep the site secure and working;
- read and reply to messages you send;
- correct and improve guides based on feedback.
We don't sell information, build profiles, use it for advertising or make automated decisions about you.
9. Website Functionality
Some features run entirely in your browser:
- Relic and achievement checklists: when you tick an item, the site saves the list of ticked IDs in your browser's local storage under keys starting with
lcrr-fansite-checklist-. This data never leaves your device, isn't linked to your game account and isn't synchronised between devices. It remains until you press the checklist's reset button or clear your browser's site data. - Search, filters, menus, spoilers and the FAQ: these run in your browser and store nothing.
If your browser blocks local storage, the checklists still work but your ticks are lost when you leave the page; the page tells you when this happens.
10. Analytics Services, If Applicable
The site currently uses no analytics services. We don't measure visitors with tools such as analytics scripts, tracking pixels or heatmaps. If this changes, we will update this policy and the Cookie Policy before such tools go live and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent first.
11. Advertising Technologies, If Applicable
The site currently shows no advertising and loads no advertising technology. If advertising is introduced in the future, this policy will be updated first to explain which provider is used, what data it processes and what choices you have, and a working consent mechanism will be added where required.
12. Third-Party Services
The site's fonts, images, styles and scripts are served from the site itself. No third-party scripts, embeds, social media widgets or video players are loaded. The only third parties that may process data are:
- the hosting provider (section 6);
- the form delivery service, if one is connected (section 5).
13. External Links
Some pages link to external websites, such as the game's official Google Play listing. Nothing is loaded from those sites until you click a link. Once you leave our site, the other site's privacy policy applies, and we are not responsible for its practices.
14. Data Sharing
We don't sell, rent or trade personal information. We share information only:
- with the service providers named above, as far as necessary to run the site or deliver messages;
- if required by law, a court order or a valid request from authorities;
- where necessary to protect the site, its users or the rights of others, for example in a copyright dispute.
15. Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above:
- Contact messages: kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any follow-up, then deleted, unless we have to keep them for legal reasons.
- Server logs: kept by the hosting provider only for the period it needs for security and troubleshooting.
- Checklist data: stays in your browser until you delete it; we never hold a copy.
16. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information, including keeping the site free of third-party scripts and collecting as little data as possible. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
17. Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, such as the right to:
- access the information we hold about you;
- correct inaccurate information;
- ask us to delete it;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing;
- complain to your local data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us as described in section 22. Because we hold very little data, often the only data we have is a contact message you sent.
18. Cookie Preferences
Because the site sets no cookies of its own and uses no analytics or advertising, there is no cookie banner and nothing to opt in to. You can still control storage in your browser settings, including clearing local storage for this site, which removes your checklist ticks. See the browser controls section of our Cookie Policy.
19. Children's Privacy
The site is a general-audience game guide and is not directed at children under the age at which parental consent is required in their country. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through the contact form, please contact us and we will delete it.
20. International Visitors
The site can be visited from anywhere. The hosting provider and form delivery service may process data in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws. The site is operated from Canada. By contacting us from another country, you understand that your message will be handled in Canada.
21. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy, for example if we connect a form service, change hosting or add new features. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. Significant changes, such as introducing analytics or advertising, will be reflected here before they take effect.
