Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

1. Who We Are

EncounterForge: Combat Balancer is a public web utility operated at tabletop-encounter-difficulty-scaler.hub2.day. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the site.

2. Information You Provide

The site processes encounter-balancing inputs (party composition, monster stats, numbers, environment) entirely inside your browser. We do not see, collect, or store your encounter designs, campaign details, or creative content on our servers.

If you contact us at hello@tabletop-encounter-difficulty-scaler.hub2.day, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We use this only to respond to your request and delete it when it is no longer needed.

3. Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, our server may log technical data such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps. These server logs are used for security, troubleshooting, and aggregated traffic analysis. They are retained for up to 30 days and are not combined with encounter data.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use a small amount of local storage in your browser to remember your preferences (such as display settings) so you do not have to reset them on each visit. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us.

We do not use our own cookies for tracking or analytics.

5. Advertising and Third-Party Services

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. These cookies allow Google and its partners to show ads that may be more relevant to you.

Google AdSense operates as a third-party vendor. You can learn more about how Google uses data and how to control your ad settings at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

6. Your Choices (EEA, UK, and California)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have certain rights regarding your personal data.

Consent for Advertising: When you first visit the site, you will see a consent management prompt that allows you to accept or reject the use of cookies and similar technologies for advertising and personalization. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the "Privacy & Cookie Settings" link available on the page.

CCPA/CPRA Notice: Under California law, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Because we do not collect your encounter data and only use AdSense (which may involve data sharing for targeted advertising), you can exercise your opt-out rights through the consent management prompt on the site. We do not sell personal information for money.

To make a data request regarding email communications or server logs, contact us at hello@tabletop-encounter-difficulty-scaler.hub2.day. We will verify your identity before processing any request.

7. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we hold (contact emails and server logs) against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure.

9. Third-Party Links

The site may link to external resources, rule systems, or community tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites. Please review their policies separately.

10. International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where our hosting infrastructure and Google AdSense operate. We rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where required.

11. Data Retention

Contact emails are retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry. Server logs are kept for up to 30 days. Local storage data remains on your device until you clear it through your browser settings.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
