Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how theadventuresofhills.wiki ("we," "us," or "the Site") handles information when you visit our unofficial fan wiki for The Adventures of HILLS. We operate a static informational website without user accounts or on-site purchases.
1. Who We Are and Scope
theadventuresofhills.wiki is operated independently of PantyParrot, Mango Party, Mango Party News, and Valve/Steam. This policy applies to all pages under the theadventuresofhills.wiki domain, including English guide articles, localized homepages, legal pages, sitemap endpoints, and static assets served from our content delivery network. It does not govern third-party websites linked from our pages, such as the Steam store or community hubs.
By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please discontinue use. For terms governing content use, see our Terms of Service.
2. Information We Do Not Collect Directly
The Site is designed as a read-only guide without registration, comment forms, newsletters, or checkout flows. We do not ask you to create an account, submit your email address, or provide payment information to browse walkthroughs, maps, achievement lists, or release information. We do not knowingly operate social login or embed third-party comment widgets that profile individual visitors across the web.
Because we do not operate authenticated services, we typically do not maintain databases of personal profiles, playthrough progress, or correspondence unless you voluntarily email the operator through a published contact address—and even then, retention is limited to what is necessary to respond.
3. Information Processed by Hosting and Infrastructure
Like most websites, theadventuresofhills.wiki is delivered through hosting and CDN infrastructure (including Cloudflare Pages or comparable services). These providers automatically process technical data necessary to route requests, prevent abuse, and measure performance. Such data may include your IP address, browser user-agent string, referring URL, requested path, HTTP status codes, timestamps, and coarse geographic region derived from IP.
We do not receive personally identifying information beyond what your browser and network transmit to any public website. Logs may be retained by infrastructure providers for security, debugging, and aggregate analytics according to their policies. We do not sell personal information to data brokers or advertisers.
TLS encryption protects data in transit between your browser and our edge servers under normal configuration. You should keep your browser and operating system updated to maintain transport security.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We aim to minimize non-essential tracking on theadventuresofhills.wiki. Essential cookies or local storage entries may be set by our CDN for load balancing, bot mitigation, or caching preferences. We do not deploy first-party advertising cookies or cross-site behavioral profiling for marketing purposes on the baseline Site configuration described at launch.
Detailed categorization of cookie types, durations, and opt-out steps appears in our Cookie Policy. You can control cookies through browser settings; blocking all cookies may affect CDN security features but usually still allows reading guide pages.
Your browser may cache HTML, stylesheets, scripts, and images locally for faster repeat visits. That caching is controlled by cache headers and your device storage, not by a wiki account system.
5. Analytics and Performance Measurement
We may use privacy-oriented, aggregate analytics—such as CDN dashboard metrics or privacy-preserving page view counters—to understand which guides are most visited (for example, true ending checklists versus map pages) and to prioritize updates after Game patches. When configured, analytics focus on aggregated counts rather than building individual user profiles for sale.
We do not integrate on-site Google Analytics advertising features or similar cross-domain remarketing pixels unless explicitly disclosed in an updated policy and cookie banner where required by law. If analytics tools change, we will update this policy and the Cookie Policy accordingly.
6. Third-Party Services and Links
External links to Steam, social networks, or fan communities open third-party sites with their own privacy practices. Clicking those links transfers you outside theadventuresofhills.wiki. Steam may collect purchase history, playtime, and account identifiers under Valve's privacy policy when you use their services—even if you arrived from our release pages discussing App ID 2859100.
Embedded media, if added in the future (such as official trailers), may cause your browser to request resources from video platforms; those requests are governed by the platform's policy. We prefer self-hosted images stored under our public directory to reduce third-party tracking surface.
7. Children's Privacy
The Site publishes game guides for a title with mature themes restricted on Steam. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your region). The Site is not directed at young children. If you believe a child provided personal information to us through a contact email or similar channel, notify the operator so we can delete unnecessary correspondence.
Parents and guardians should supervise minors' access to both the Game and fan wikis discussing adult story content.
8. International Visitors and Legal Rights
Visitors from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other regions with comprehensive privacy laws may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of personal data concerning them, and to data portability where applicable. Because we hold little to no direct personal data, many requests may be more appropriately directed to our hosting provider's privacy tools for server logs they control.
California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding sale or sharing of personal information; we do not sell personal information as defined by those laws for the baseline Site. Nevada and other US state laws may provide supplemental notices; contact us for clarification if needed.
Legal basis for processing infrastructure logs, where GDPR applies, typically includes legitimate interests in operating and securing a public website and, for essential cookies, necessity for service delivery.
9. Data Retention and Security
Server and CDN logs retained by infrastructure partners generally roll off on schedules defined by those providers—often days to months unless extended for incident investigation. Email inquiries, if any, are retained only as long as needed to respond and maintain reasonable business records.
We implement reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to a static site: HTTPS, access controls on deployment accounts, and dependency updates. No online transmission is completely secure; you use the Site at your own risk.
10. Changes and Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect hosting changes, analytics tooling, or legal requirements. The effective date at the bottom indicates the latest revision. Material changes may be highlighted in the Site footer.
Privacy questions may be directed to the Site operator via contact information associated with the theadventuresofhills.wiki domain registration or hosting account. We cannot access your Steam account data or game saves; contact Valve for platform privacy requests.
Effective date: June 2026. See also Cookie Policy and Terms of Service.
