Overview

Loot Goblin ("the Site") is a fan-made Diablo II reference tool designed to help players explore game data such as runes, runewords, items, and game mechanics.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use the Site, how that information is used, and the third-party services involved in operating the Site.

You may browse and use many features of the Site without creating an account. Certain features, including cloud-synced favorites and paid subscription features, require an account.

Information We Collect

1. Account Information

Users may create or access an account using supported authentication methods, including email, Google, or Apple sign-in.

Depending on the sign-in method used, the Site may receive and store information such as:

• Email address
• Name or display name, when provided by the authentication provider
• User account identifier
• Authentication-related account information

Passwords and authentication credentials may be managed by the underlying Base44 authentication platform or the applicable third-party sign-in provider.

Account information is used to identify your account and provide account-based features.

2. Favorites and Account-Synced Data

The Site allows users to save favorites and other preferences.

For users who are not signed in, certain preferences may be stored locally in the browser using localStorage.

For signed-in users, favorites may also be associated with and stored with the user's account so they can be accessed across supported devices or sessions.

The Site may also use local browser storage for preferences such as font settings, consent choices, and other interface preferences.

Users may clear locally stored information through their browser settings.

3. Subscription Information

The Site may offer paid subscriptions, including subscriptions that remove advertising or provide other account benefits.

To manage a subscription, the Site may store information such as:

• User account identifier
• Email address
• Subscription plan
• Subscription status
• Purchase or subscription identifier
• Renewal or expiration date
• Cancellation status

This information is used to provide subscription benefits, determine whether an account has an active entitlement, process cancellations, and manage the subscription lifecycle.

Loot Goblin does not directly receive or store your full payment-card number.

4. Analytics Data

The Site may use analytics provided by the Base44 platform or other services to understand how the Site is used.

Analytics information may include:

• Pages visited
• Features used
• Interaction events
• Device or browser information
• General usage patterns

This information is used to understand Site usage, improve functionality, identify popular features, diagnose problems, and improve performance.

Some analytics information may be aggregated or pseudonymized. Technical information such as IP addresses or device identifiers may also be processed by the platforms and services used to operate the Site.

5. Images Submitted to AI-Assisted Features

The Site offers an Affix Extractor feature that allows you to upload a screenshot of an in-game item so that AI and optical character recognition (OCR) services can extract stat information from the image.

When you use this feature:

• The uploaded image is transmitted to third-party AI services for processing
• The Site may store a record of the extraction request (such as the number of extractions used) for usage-limit tracking
• Extraction results may be displayed to you and used to populate item-valuation tools

Uploaded images are processed for the sole purpose of extracting in-game stat information. Do not upload images containing personal information or content unrelated to the game.

The Site does not retain uploaded screenshots permanently; they are processed transiently by the AI service and not stored in the Site's database.

How Information Is Used

• Create and manage user accounts

Loot Goblin does not sell or share personal information to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration, and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, as those terms are defined under applicable privacy laws including the CCPA/CPRA.

Third-Party Services

Base44

The Site is built and hosted using Base44.

Base44 provides infrastructure that may include hosting, authentication, database storage, analytics, server-side functionality, and other services necessary to operate the Site.

Information processed through these services may be handled according to Base44's applicable privacy and security practices.

Base44 Payments / Wix

Paid subscriptions are processed through Base44's payment functionality and Wix payment infrastructure.

When you purchase a subscription, payment information is provided directly to the payment processor. Loot Goblin does not directly receive or store your full credit card or debit card number.

The Site may receive and retain transaction and subscription information necessary to determine whether your subscription is active, canceled, expired, or scheduled to renew.

Payment processing and related information may also be governed by Wix's applicable privacy policies and terms.

PayPal Donations

The Site includes an optional donation feature through PayPal.

If you choose to donate, you may be redirected to PayPal's platform. Personal and financial information submitted during the donation process is handled directly by PayPal and is subject to PayPal's privacy policies.

Loot Goblin does not directly collect or store payment-card information submitted to PayPal.

Google Services

The Site may use Google services including Google AdSense, Google Search Console, Google authentication, and other Google services. Google may process information according to its own privacy policies when you interact with those services.

Apple Sign-In

Users may have the option to sign in using Apple. When Apple Sign-In is used, Apple may provide the Site with information necessary to create or authenticate the account, subject to Apple's privacy practices and the information the user chooses to share.

Unsplash Images

Some images displayed on the Site may be hosted by Unsplash. When these images load, your browser may make requests to Unsplash servers.

Advertising and Cookies

The Site displays advertisements provided by Google AdSense, including Google and DoubleClick advertising services.

Advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, or similar technologies to display advertisements, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and, where permitted, personalize advertising.

Information processed through these technologies may include:

• IP address
• Browser type
• Device type
• Pages visited on the Site
• Advertising identifiers
• Interaction information

Google and its advertising partners may use this information to provide and measure advertisements in accordance with their own policies.

Your Consent Choices

Visitors in locations where consent is required, including the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, may be shown a consent message or privacy controls relating to advertising cookies and personalized advertising.

Depending on the options presented, users may be able to accept personalized advertising, decline personalized advertising, or manage their preferences.

When personalized advertising is declined, advertisements may still be displayed, but they may be selected using contextual or other non-personalized signals rather than based on past browsing activity.

Consent choices may be stored in your browser or through Google's consent-management systems.

You may also manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies or browser storage may affect certain Site functionality.

Google allows users to manage advertising preferences at: https://adssettings.google.com

Information about Google's use of advertising technologies is available at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Data Retention

Account and subscription information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Maintain your account
• Provide account and subscription features
• Maintain transaction and subscription records
• Resolve disputes or support requests
• Prevent fraud or abuse
• Meet legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements

Locally stored browser information remains on your device until it expires automatically or you clear your browser storage.

Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account at any time through the Account page. You may choose immediate deletion (account removed right away) or deferred deletion (account remains active until the end of your current paid-through subscription period, then is automatically deleted).

Upon deletion, the Site removes your account information, cloud-synced favorites, and subscription entitlement data. Certain records may be retained where required for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, or transaction-record purposes, as described above.

If you have an active subscription, deletion also cancels future renewals. For immediate deletion, the remaining paid-through period is forfeited.

Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information associated with the Site.

However, no website, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Payment-card information is handled directly by third-party payment processors rather than being stored directly by Loot Goblin.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

Loot Goblin does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Site, please contact the Site operator so the matter can be reviewed.

• Request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Request deletion of your personal information or account

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing.

The legal basis for processing your personal information depends on the activity: account creation and subscription management are based on contract performance and legitimate interests; advertising personalization is based on consent, which you may withdraw at any time; and analytics may be based on legitimate interests.

You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. You may also contact the Site operator using the email address below.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights above, you may contact the Site operator using the email address below. The Site operator will respond to verifiable requests within a reasonable timeframe.
