How this personal fan site handles data
Ascend to ZERO Wiki does not require an account and does not ask for a player name, password, game account, payment details, or precise location. The Build Planner and Handbook Tracker work in the browser. Planner selections may appear in a shareable URL, and tracker progress, planner preferences, and consent-related choices can be stored in this site's local browser storage until you reset the tool or clear site data.
The site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate page use and improve navigation. Depending on your location and consent choice, Google may process page URLs, referrers, browser and device information, approximate region derived from an IP address, interaction events, and cookies or similar identifiers. Consent Mode sets advertising and analytics storage to denied before Google tags run in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland; Google's consent message can then update those signals from your choice.
The site uses Google AdSense for site review and, if approved, advertising. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and information about visits to this and other sites to deliver, measure, personalize, or limit advertising. Where consent is required, the Google-certified consent management platform presents choices before personalized advertising storage is enabled.
YouTube videos are blocked behind a click-to-load preview. The standard YouTube player is not requested until you choose to load a video. After that choice, YouTube may receive your IP address, browser or device details, the referring page, playback activity, and may read or set cookies under Google's policies.
Email sent to the contact address is forwarded through Cloudflare Email Routing to the site owner's inbox. Cloudflare and the destination email provider process message headers, content, sender and recipient addresses, and delivery metadata in order to deliver the message. Do not include sensitive personal information that is not needed for your request.
The site does not sell personal information and does not create player profiles. Third-party providers keep information according to their own retention policies and legal obligations. Data may be processed in countries other than your own. You can use the privacy and cookie settings link, your browser's cookie controls, Google Ads Settings, or clearing site storage to change or remove locally available choices.

Do I need an account?
No. The wiki has no user registration or game-account connection.
Where is tracker progress stored?
In localStorage for this browser and site origin until you reset the tracker or clear site data.
Does the site sell personal information?
No. The site owner does not sell personal information or build player profiles. Google and other service providers process data under their own policies for the disclosed purposes.
When does YouTube receive data?
The page shows a locally hosted preview first. The standard youtube.com/embed player is requested only after you press Load video.
How do I change a consent choice?
Use Privacy & cookie settings in the footer or on this page. You can also clear site data in your browser.
How can I contact the site owner about privacy?

Local tool data remains until you clear it. Google, YouTube, Cloudflare, and the destination email provider apply their own retention rules. Contact messages are retained only as reasonably needed to handle the request, maintain records, or meet legal obligations.
Can data be processed outside my country?
Yes. Third-party providers may process data in other countries and use safeguards described in their own privacy documentation.
