Welcome to The Backrooms Guide ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit thebackrooms.blog, read our guides, use navigation links, see advertising or advertising-related disclosures, or contact us.

- Technical logs: IP address, error logs, cache events, and security events needed to operate the site.
- Support communications: Messages you send to our support email and any contact details you choose to include.
2. How we use information

3. Cookies, analytics, advertising, and external links
We may use analytics, hosting, security, and advertising tools to understand site performance, protect the site, measure aggregate visitor behavior, and support future advertising on the site. These tools may use cookies, device identifiers, IP addresses, browser information, and similar technologies.
The site includes a cookie preference control. If you choose essential cookies only, we do not intentionally load optional analytics scripts from this site experience. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
The site may link to official sources, creator channels, stores, wikis, videos, or other third-party resources. Those websites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their policies.
4. Google advertising and third-party ad technologies
If Google AdSense or other Google advertising services are enabled on this site, Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, detect invalid activity, and help show ads that are more relevant to users where permitted.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may place or read cookies on your browser or use web beacons and other identifiers because ads are served on the site. Depending on your location and settings, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.
You can learn about and control Google's advertising personalization through Google Ad Settings. You can also visit Google's advertising technology policy for more information about how Google uses advertising cookies.
5. Regional consent and advertising choices
For visitors in regions where consent is required, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, optional analytics or personalized advertising technologies should only be used after the required consent is collected. If personalized ads are unavailable or consent is not given, the site may use essential technologies only or serve non-personalized advertising where supported.
We do not ask you to provide sensitive personal information to use the site, and we do not knowingly send personally identifiable information to Google in ad requests.
6. Sharing and retention
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with hosting, analytics, security, email, or legal service providers only when needed to operate the website or comply with law.
We retain logs and support messages only as long as reasonably needed for site operation, security, support, analytics, and legal compliance.
7. Your rights and contact
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain personal information. To make a request, contact support@thebackrooms.blog.
