Privacy Policy

🔒 Introduction

Fallout Shelter Save Editor ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website at falloutsheltereditor.blog (the "Service").

Our editor flow is designed so that the selected save file is processed in your browser rather than uploaded to an application server. Site analytics, advertising, server logs, browser extensions, and network providers are separate considerations described below.

📊 Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we don't do:

• Save File Data: The editor flow does not upload the selected Fallout Shelter save contents to the application's server. Editing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript.
• Personal Information: The editor does not require a name, email address, or phone number. If you contact us, or if an enabled site service processes pseudonymous browser information, the relevant handling is described in this policy.
• User Accounts: We do not require registration or user accounts to use our Service.
• Payment Information: The editor flow does not process payments or request financial information.
• Save-file privacy: We do not use your Fallout Shelter save-file contents for analytics, advertising, or profiling. Separate third-party services described below may process limited browsing or interaction data.

🌐 Information We May Collect

While we don't collect save file data, standard web server logs may automatically record:

• Server Logs: IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and access times. This is standard for all websites and is used only for security and technical maintenance.
• Error Reports: If the application encounters errors, technical information may be logged to help us improve the Service.

This information is not used to identify individual users and is retained only for technical purposes.

💾 How Your Save Files Are Processed

Understanding how we handle your save files is crucial:

1. Local Processing: When you select a save file, the editor reads it in your browser using JavaScript.
2. No Application Upload: The editor flow does not transmit the selected save contents to the application's server. This statement does not cover unrelated browser requests, extensions, or services that you separately enable.
3. Browser Storage: Your browser may temporarily store the file in memory while you're editing, but this data is cleared when you close the page.
4. Download Only: When you save your edited file, the browser downloads it to your device. The application does not receive or store that edited file as part of the editor flow.

🔗 Third-Party Services

Our Service may contain links to external websites (such as GitHub). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Microsoft Clarity: We use Microsoft Clarity on site pages to understand aggregate interaction patterns and improve usability. Clarity may use cookies or similar technologies and may process pseudonymous device, browser, page-view, and interaction information. Clarity is not used to receive or process the contents of your Fallout Shelter save files.

Google advertising products: The site may use Google AdSense or related Google publisher products. When Google ads are served, Google and its partners may place or read cookies and may use web beacons, IP addresses, browser or device information, and other identifiers to deliver, measure, secure, limit, or personalize/non-personalize advertising as permitted by applicable law and account settings. Third parties may collect or use information as a result of ads being served on this site. Google describes data use on partner sites at Google's partner-sites policy.

We do not send save-file contents to Google, Microsoft, or advertising partners. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies and settings.

🍪 Cookies

Your browser may use local storage or session storage to temporarily hold data while you use the editor; this is managed by your browser and is not accessible to us as a server-side save-file store. Microsoft Clarity may use cookies or similar technologies for interaction measurement. When Google advertising products serve ads, Google and its partners may set or read advertising cookies or use similar technologies, including web beacons, in accordance with their policies and applicable consent requirements. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and the controls provided by the relevant third-party service.

👶 Children's Privacy

Our Service does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used our Service, please contact us at [email protected].

🔐 Data Security

We do not use the editor flow to store save-file contents on our servers, but no website can promise zero risk across a user's device, browser, network, or third-party services. Protect local copies and backups, and review the source and service disclosures before using the tool.

• HTTPS encryption for all connections
• Regular security updates and code reviews
• Open-source code that can be audited by anyone
• No application storage of uploaded save-file contents

📧 Contact Information

If you contact us via email at [email protected], we will collect your email address and any information you provide in your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.

🌍 International Users

Our Service is accessible worldwide. By using our Service, you acknowledge that your information (limited to server logs) may be processed in the country where our servers are located.

✏️ Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
