Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how FonsTycoon collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit https://fonstycoon.com and its related pages.

FonsTycoon is a fan-made guide website operated as an individual project. The site is intended for a global audience. We do not offer user accounts, paid purchases, comments, newsletter signups, social login, public posting features, or payment processing.

Summary

We collect limited information needed to run the site, understand traffic, show advertisements, protect the site, and respond to messages. We use Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare, and consent controls for visitors in regions that require them. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, precise geolocation, government ID numbers, payment card details, or information from children under 13.

Information We Collect

FonsTycoon collects and processes the following categories of information:

• Contact information. When you email us, we receive your email address, name or display name, and the contents of your message.
• Identifiers and device information. This includes IP address, cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, browser type, device type, operating system, language settings, and approximate location derived from IP address.
• Internet or network activity. This includes pages viewed, referring pages, links clicked, search or navigation activity on the site, dates and times of visits, and diagnostic or performance data.
• Advertising and analytics information. Google and advertising or analytics providers create or use pseudonymous identifiers, ad measurement data, ad personalization signals, frequency-capping data, and fraud-prevention data.
• Security and hosting logs. Hosting and security providers process request logs, IP addresses, browser details, error logs, and security events to deliver and protect the site.

Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect

FonsTycoon does not intentionally collect payment information, account passwords, precise GPS location, government identification numbers, health information, biometric information, or other sensitive personal information. Please do not send sensitive personal information to us by email.

How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve FonsTycoon.
• To understand which pages, guides, and features are useful to visitors.
• To measure site performance, traffic sources, page views, and general usage trends.
• To display, personalize, limit, and measure advertisements where ad services are active.
• To prevent abuse, spam, fraud, security incidents, and technical problems.
• To respond to messages you send us.
• To comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce site policies.

Legal Bases for Processing

For visitors protected by the GDPR, UK GDPR, and similar privacy laws, FonsTycoon relies on these legal bases:

• Consent for non-essential cookies, personalized advertising, and similar technologies in regions that require consent.
• Legitimate interests in operating, securing, improving, and measuring a public guide website.
• Legal obligations when we need to comply with applicable law or valid legal requests.
• Your request or consent when you contact us and ask us to respond.

Google Analytics

FonsTycoon uses Google Analytics to measure traffic and understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, browser and device information, approximate location, referring pages, and interactions with the site.

Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use Google services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also review Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

You can opt out of Google Analytics in supported browsers by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can also limit cookies through your browser settings.

Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

FonsTycoon uses Google AdSense to display and measure advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to FonsTycoon and other websites.

Google's advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to FonsTycoon and other websites on the Internet. These cookies are also used for ad measurement, frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud and abuse prevention.

Users can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Users can also opt out of some third-party vendors' uses of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices.

For non-personalized ads, Google still uses cookies or similar technologies for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and fraud and abuse prevention.

Cookies, Consent, and Your Choices

Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies include tags, pixels, local storage, scripts, and identifiers. We and our service providers use these technologies for analytics, advertising, security, fraud prevention, frequency capping, and site performance.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Blocking cookies can affect some site features or third-party services.

For visitors in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and other regions that require consent, FonsTycoon uses a Google-certified consent management platform or Google privacy message before personalized advertising cookies and other non-essential advertising or analytics storage are used. The consent message lets you accept, reject, or manage these choices.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track signal. Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to these signals, FonsTycoon does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. You can still use the cookie, analytics, and advertising choices described in this policy.

Hosting, Security, and Service Providers

FonsTycoon uses Cloudflare services for hosting, performance, security, and site delivery. Cloudflare processes technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, request data, and security-related information to deliver and protect the website.

We share information with service providers that help us operate the site, including hosting, analytics, advertising, search indexing, security, and infrastructure providers. These providers process information according to their own privacy policies and their agreements with us.

When We Share Information

We share information in the following situations:

• With service providers such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare, and other infrastructure providers.
• For legal reasons including compliance with laws, regulations, court orders, government requests, and protection of rights, safety, and security.
• With your consent or at your direction.
• In a business transfer involving a transfer, merger, or reorganization of the site or its assets.

Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Email messages you send to us are retained as needed to respond, maintain records, resolve disputes, or protect the site. Analytics, advertising, hosting, and security providers retain data according to their own retention settings and policies.

Your Privacy Rights

Privacy laws give visitors rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of certain personal information. Visitors also have rights to object to processing, withdraw consent when processing is based on consent, request data portability, and complain to a data protection authority.

To make a privacy request, contact us at [email protected]. We need enough information to verify and process the request. Visitors with appeal rights can appeal our response by replying to our decision email.

California Consumers

California consumers have the right to know what categories and specific pieces of personal information FonsTycoon collected, the right to request deletion or correction, the right to opt out of sale or sharing, the right to limit use of sensitive personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

In the last 12 months, FonsTycoon collected the categories listed in this policy: identifiers, device information, internet or network activity, approximate location derived from IP address, contact information sent by email, analytics information, advertising information, and security logs. We collect this information from visitors, browsers, devices, Google, Cloudflare, consent tools, hosting systems, and other service providers.

We use these categories for the business and commercial purposes described above, including site operation, security, analytics, advertising, fraud prevention, communication, and legal compliance. We disclose these categories to service providers and advertising partners including Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare, and infrastructure providers.

FonsTycoon does not sell personal information for money. Advertising and analytics technologies can be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under some US state privacy laws. California consumers can use the consent controls, Google Ads Settings, browser controls, and the contact email above to opt out or make a rights request.

Children's Privacy

FonsTycoon is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Parents or guardians who believe a child provided personal information to us can contact us, and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the site and the information processed through it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

External Links

FonsTycoon links to external websites, including game publishers, official resources, social platforms, advertising partners, and other third-party pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies to your use of the site.
