Privacy policy

Project and contact

Rob Run Guide is a community-maintained project. For privacy questions or requests concerning your data, email the team that maintains the guide at [email protected].

This policy covers use of the guide. The accounts, servers, and services of the ROB RUN game and Steam have their own policies.

What data we use and why

• Operation and security. To serve pages, we process your IP address and technical connection information, such as your browser and requests. The hosting infrastructure may keep error and security logs to diagnose failures and prevent abuse. This processing serves our legitimate interest in keeping the service available and secure, with due regard for your rights.
• Optional analytics. Only with your consent, Google Analytics measures use of pages, searches, filters, items, shops, tips, maps, and 3D viewers. It may process cookie identifiers, device information, and approximate location. This helps us decide which content and features to improve.
• Contact. If you email us, we receive your address, your message, and anything you choose to share. We use this information to respond and, where necessary, handle requests to exercise rights and meet legal obligations. Send only what is needed for your request.

The guide does not ask for your Steam username or password. Search events sent to Analytics contain only a length range and the number of results, without the text you typed. Navigation events omit URL query parameters and fragments. Content identifiers refer to items and places in the guide, with no player identifiers.

According to Google, GA4 uses the IP address during collection to estimate location and discards it before logging data. This does not make all usage data anonymous. See the GA4 privacy controls.

Cookies and your choices

The Google Analytics tag loads only after you accept. All guide features remain available if you decline. Analytics requires consent under the LGPD and GDPR. Your choice does not authorize personalized advertising.

Privacy preference

Stored in your browser’s local storage for up to 180 days to remember whether you accepted or declined. It is never sent to Google as a usage event.

Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*)

Used after you accept to distinguish browsers and sessions. They are configured to last at most for the remaining time of your 180-day preference, with no automatic renewal on each visit.

You can change your mind under “Privacy preferences” in the footer and on maps. If you withdraw consent after activation, we stop sending new events, remove Analytics cookies accessible to the guide, and reload the page. Withdrawal does not invalidate earlier processing or automatically erase data already sent.

You can also block cookies or clear this site’s data in your browser settings. If you clear the preference, the guide will ask you to choose again. If your choice cannot be saved, the interface reports the problem and explains how to clear site data.

Services and international transfers

Hosting and communication services process the information needed to serve the site and respond to messages. If you accept analytics, Google receives the usage data described in this policy. The integration keeps Google Signals and ad personalization disabled.

Google may process information in other countries, including outside Brazil and the European Economic Area. Its processing conditions and transfer mechanisms are described in its data processing terms and Google privacy policy. You can contact us about privacy for more information on the services and applicable safeguards.

Retention and security

The 180 days mentioned above apply to the preference and cookies in your browser. Records sent to Google have a separate retention period set in the Analytics property. Aggregated reports may be kept longer. Deleting cookies does not remove those records. See the Analytics data retention rules or ask us about the guide’s configuration.

Messages and operational records are kept as long as necessary to respond to requests, investigate issues, protect the service, and meet any legal obligations. The period depends on the purpose and applicable requirements.

We use technical measures to protect the service and limit access to information. No system offers absolute security. If you find a problem, report it to our privacy contact.

Your rights in Brazil and Europe

You may make the following requests under applicable law.

• Confirmation of processing, access to your data, and correction of your data.
• Deletion, anonymization, or blocking of data in the circumstances provided for by law.
• Information about data sharing and portability, where applicable.
• Objection to or restriction of processing, and withdrawal of consent, depending on the applicable legal basis and law.

Send your request to [email protected]. We may need a proportionate amount of information to confirm your identity or locate records. Because the guide does not require an account, we may be unable to link events from a browser to an individual. We will explain any limitations and respond within the applicable legal deadlines. Do not send passwords or documents unless we have given you a reason for requesting them.

In Brazil, you can also contact the ANPD. In the European Union, you may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority, including where you live, work, or where the alleged infringement took place. In Portugal, that authority is the CNPD. For other countries, see the list of national authorities.

Advertising and changes to this policy

The guide does not currently load Google AdSense ads. If advertising is added, we will update this policy and the consent options before the new processing begins.

This page may change as the guide and applicable requirements evolve. We will highlight significant changes to the purposes or data collected. We will ask for fresh consent when necessary. The date at the top identifies the current version.
