Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

1. What This Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy explains how character-backstory-questionnaire.hub2.day (“the Site”) handles information when you use BackstoryBuilder: RPG Character Depth Quiz. The Site is a focused web utility that helps you build tabletop RPG character backstories through a branching questionnaire. We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about the limited data processing that occurs.

2. Information You Provide Directly

Questionnaire Inputs. The answers you type or select while using the backstory builder are processed entirely in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or collect your character concepts, narrative choices, or generated backstory text on our servers. Your creative work stays on your device.

Contact Email. If you choose to reach out to hello@character-backstory-questionnaire.hub2.day, we will receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to marketing lists.

3. Information Collected Automatically

Server & Security Logs. Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may temporarily record standard technical details when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and time of visit. These logs are used solely for maintaining security, preventing abuse, and diagnosing technical issues. They are not combined with your questionnaire activity.

Cookies & Local Storage. The Site may use small amounts of browser local storage to remember your progress within the questionnaire or to save your preferences (such as consent choices). These are functional only and do not track you across other websites.

4. Advertising & Third-Party Services

Google AdSense. We display advertisements through Google AdSense, which uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to show you more relevant ads. You can learn more about how Google manages data in its ads products at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Your Consent Choices (GDPR, UK GDPR, and EEA Users). If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will request your consent before non-essential cookies and advertising identifiers are placed on your device. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser data for this Site and revisiting the consent banner.

CCPA/CPRA Choices (California and Applicable US States). Under California law and similar state privacy laws, the use of advertising cookies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. You have the right to opt out of such processing. You can exercise this choice by using any “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link presented on the Site, or by configuring your browser to send a Global Privacy Control signal, which we will respect as an opt-out request for that browser and device.

Service Providers. We may engage trusted third-party providers for essential technical operations such as hosting, security, and email delivery. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and for no other purpose.

5. How We Use Information

We use the limited information described above only to:

We do not use your questionnaire inputs, contact details, or log data to profile you, make automated decisions about you, or sell your personal information in the traditional sense beyond the advertising disclosures above.

6. Data Retention

Server and security logs are retained for a short period (typically up to 30 days) and then automatically deleted. Email correspondence may be kept for up to one year for reference, unless a longer period is required for legal reasons. Questionnaire inputs are not retained on our servers at all.

7. Children’s Privacy

BackstoryBuilder is a creative tool intended for a general audience, including older teens and adults who play tabletop RPGs. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at hello@character-backstory-questionnaire.hub2.day so we can delete it promptly.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we process against accidental loss, unauthorized access, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and you use the Site at your own risk.

9. Links to Other Websites

The Site may contain links to external resources, including those of advertising partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies when you leave our Site.

10. International Data Transfers

The Site is operated from infrastructure that may be located in various countries. If you are visiting from a region with data protection laws, your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of protection as your home country. By using the Site, you acknowledge such transfers. For EEA/UK users, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where required.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Because we collect very little personal information directly, many of these rights will apply only to data you have actively provided (such as an email). To make a request, contact us at hello@character-backstory-questionnaire.hub2.day. We will verify your identity before fulfilling any request and respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent changes. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
