Overview
This policy explains what personal data Respawn Daily collects when you use https://respawndaily.net, why we collect it, and what you can do about it.
We aim to collect as little as possible. You can read the entire site — games, guides, rewards, deals — without an account and without giving us your name or email address.
This is a general information page rather than legal advice. If you operate this site commercially, have the final wording reviewed by a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
Data we collect
- Information you give us voluntarily — your email address if you subscribe to the newsletter, and the name, email and message you submit through the contact form.
- Community content — if you post on the forum, the username, post text and timestamps you submit are stored and shown publicly.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page and the pages you view. This arrives automatically with every web request.
- Analytics data — aggregated statistics about which pages are popular, roughly where visitors come from, and how they navigate the site.
- Affiliate tracking data — when you follow a commercial link, our partner records the click so a commission can be attributed. This normally involves a cookie or a tracking identifier set by them.
Why we use it
- To operate and serve the website, including loading pages and images.
- To send the newsletter you asked for, and nothing you did not ask for.
- To answer messages you send through the contact form.
- To run the community boards and enforce the forum rules.
- To understand which content is useful so we can produce more of it.
- To attribute affiliate referrals correctly, which is how the site is funded.
- To detect and prevent spam, abuse and fraudulent activity.
Legal basis for processing
Where the GDPR or a comparable regime applies, we rely on the following grounds.
- Consent — for the newsletter and for non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests — for security, abuse prevention, aggregated analytics and the basic operation of the site.
- Contractual necessity — where processing is required to provide something you have specifically requested.
- Legal obligation — where we are required to retain or disclose information by law.
Third parties and data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site, and only to the extent they need it.
- Hosting and content delivery providers, which necessarily process request data such as your IP address.
- Analytics providers, which receive usage data in aggregated or pseudonymised form.
- Email delivery providers, which process the address you gave us in order to send the newsletter.
- Affiliate networks and game publishers, which receive referral information when you click a commercial link.
External links
This site links extensively to game publishers, stores and other third-party services. Once you leave, their privacy policy governs your data, not ours.
We have no control over what those sites collect or how they use it. Please review their policies before creating an account or making a purchase.
How long we keep data
- Newsletter subscriptions — until you unsubscribe, plus a short record of the unsubscribe so we do not email you again by mistake.
- Contact form messages — for as long as needed to resolve your enquiry, then deleted on a routine schedule.
- Forum posts — kept while your account is active, since removing individual posts would break the surrounding conversation.
- Server logs — retained for a short period for security and diagnostic purposes, then discarded.
- Analytics data — retained in aggregated form, which no longer identifies individual visitors.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights over your personal data.
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification — have inaccurate data corrected.
- Erasure — request deletion, subject to any legal obligation to retain it.
- Restriction and objection — ask us to limit or stop certain processing.
- Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
- Withdraw consent — unsubscribe from email or reject non-essential cookies at any time.
- Complain — raise the matter with your local data protection authority.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at young children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold, including encrypted connections and restricted access to systems.
No website can promise absolute security. Please use a strong, unique password for any account you create, here or anywhere else.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site develops or as legal requirements change. The revision date at the top of the page always reflects the current version.
Material changes will be announced on the site rather than applied silently.
