Privacy Policy

Scope and operator

This policy explains how Sandustry Guide & Wiki handles information when you visit https://sandustry-game.wiki, use its browser-based planning tools, watch an embedded video, or contact the site. This is an independent, unofficial game-guide resource and is not operated by Lantto Games, Hooded Horse, Google, YouTube, or Umami. Questions about this notice or a privacy request may be sent to [email protected]. Please do not send passwords, access tokens, private save files, or other sensitive information.

Information provided by your browser

Like most websites, hosting and security infrastructure may process ordinary request information needed to deliver and protect the site. This can include IP address, requested URL, date and time, browser or device type, referring page, response status, and security signals. Cloudflare provides DNS, TLS, caching, and hosting services for the site. These operational records may be retained for security, reliability, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting according to the provider's settings and policies. The site does not ask for an account, real name, birth date, precise location, or payment details.

Browser tools and local storage

The production calculator runs in your browser. The Blueprint Notebook and Layout Sandbox can save working data in localStorage on your device so your notes remain available on a later visit. Those notes are not intentionally transmitted to this website, Umami, Google, or YouTube. You can remove them by clearing this site's browser storage. Avoid entering personal information or confidential save data because local browser storage may be readable by anyone who can use the same browser profile.

Self-hosted Umami analytics

This site loads the owner's self-hosted Umami analytics script from https://umami-analytics-plum-alpha.vercel.app. It is used to understand aggregate page visits, referrers, screen and browser characteristics, approximate region derived from network information, and which guides are useful. Umami is not intentionally configured here to collect names, email contents, blueprint notes, or precise location. Analytics measurements are used for editorial planning, reliability checks, and aggregate site performance. Browser or network controls may block the script without preventing access to the guides and tools.

YouTube privacy-enhanced embeds

Video sections use YouTube's privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embed domain and do not autoplay. A direct watch link is provided as an alternative. When an embedded player loads or you interact with it, YouTube and Google may receive connection information, device characteristics, the page URL, and player activity, and may place or read identifiers according to their own policies and your Google settings. If you do not want the embedded player to connect, do not play it and use browser controls that block third-party media.

Advertising, cookies, and web beacons

The site has registered a Google AdSense publisher identifier and publishes an authorized-seller record, but Google advertising code is not loaded until the required consent and placement configuration is ready. If advertising is activated, third-party vendors and advertising networks, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses, device information, and similar identifiers because ads are served on the site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and, where permitted, other sites.

Where personalized advertising is used, visitors can learn about or control Google's use of advertising data through Google's Ads Settings and privacy information. The site will not intentionally pass names, email addresses, telephone numbers, or other personally identifiable information to Google in ad requests. Ads will not be used to build audiences from sensitive information, child-directed activity, or restricted content. Advertising disclosures and this policy will be updated if the deployed services or purposes change.

Consent for the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

Before Google ads that require consent are enabled for visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the site will use a Google-certified consent management platform. The consent interface will explain the relevant vendors and purposes and offer choices required by Google's EU User Consent Policy, including the ability to revisit those choices. Until that production CMP is configured and tested, AdSense ad-serving code remains disabled. Necessary hosting and security processing may still occur to deliver the requested page.

Contact messages

Email sent to [email protected] is processed to answer the request, investigate a correction, prevent abuse, and retain necessary correspondence. A message may include the sender address, headers, content, and attachments you choose to provide. Cloudflare Email Routing forwards the public address to an operator mailbox. Information is not sold. It may be shared with service providers needed to deliver email, respond to a legal obligation, protect the site, or investigate misuse.

Retention, security, and choices

Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for its stated purpose, legal obligations, dispute resolution, security, and backups. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. You may block scripts or third-party cookies, clear localStorage, avoid embedded video, or stop using the site. Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection concerning information controlled by this site by emailing the contact address. The operator may need enough information to locate a relevant message or record and may retain information when legally required.

Children and changes

This site is a general-audience guide for a factory automation game and is not directed to children under the age threshold set by applicable law. It does not knowingly solicit personal information from children or create interest-based advertising audiences from child-directed activity. This notice may change when services, legal requirements, or site features change. The updated date will be revised and material changes will be reflected on this page before the related collection or advertising practice begins.
