Privacy Policy

Overview

This privacy policy explains what information is collected when you visit criticalspawnews.com (“Critical Spawn News”, “we”, “us”). We keep data collection to a minimum. We do not offer user registration, and we do not sell personal information.

Server Logs

Like most websites, our hosting server automatically records basic technical information when you visit a page, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested, the referring page and the date and time of the request. These logs are used for security, troubleshooting and understanding overall traffic, and are kept only for a limited period.

Cookies

Critical Spawn News runs on WordPress. WordPress may set a small number of functional cookies, for example if you leave a comment (to remember your name and email on that device) or if an administrator is logged in. These cookies are not used to build advertising profiles. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work for reading.

Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare to deliver the site quickly and protect it from abuse. Cloudflare processes visitor requests, including IP addresses, and may set cookies needed for security and performance (for example, to distinguish real visitors from bots). Cloudflare’s handling of data is described in its own privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Comments and Email

If you leave a comment, the name, email address and comment text you submit are stored so the comment can be displayed and moderated. If you email us at [email protected], we use your message and address only to reply and to handle your request.

Third-Party Links

Our articles link to external sources such as manufacturer support pages, developer websites and platform stores. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Your Rights (GDPR and CCPA)

Depending on where you live, laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may give you rights over your personal data, including the right to access it, correct it, request its deletion, object to or restrict certain processing, and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information. To make a request, email [email protected] and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.

Children

Critical Spawn News is a general-audience site and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through a comment, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
