Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

The Short Version

This site uses Google Analytics to understand what pages people visit and Google AdSense to display advertisements that help cover hosting costs. We don't collect personal information, build user profiles, or sell data. All transcripts and resources remain freely accessible.

What We Collect

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use this site. Google collects:

• Which pages you visit
• How long you stay on each page
• What device and browser you're using
• General location (city/region level, not precise location)
• How you found the site (search engine, direct link, etc.)

This helps us understand which transcripts and resources are most useful. We don't tie any of this information to your identity.

Google AdSense

We display advertisements through Google AdSense to help cover hosting and maintenance costs. Google uses cookies to:

• Show relevant advertisements based on your browsing history across the web
• Measure ad performance
• Prevent showing you the same ads repeatedly

These ads are served by Google. We don't choose which specific ads appear or have access to your personal information.

What We Don't Do

• No email collection - We don't have a mailing list or newsletter
• No user accounts - Nothing to sign up for or log into
• No paywalls - All content is freely accessible
• No selling your data - We don't have personal data to sell
• No social media tracking - No Facebook, X/Twitter, or other social network trackers

Cookies

This site uses cookies from:

• Google Analytics - Tracks page views and site usage patterns
• Google AdSense - Personalizes and measures ad performance

If you block cookies, the site will still function normally. You just won't be tracked and may see less relevant advertisements.

Why We Use Ads

This is a fan-created archival site. The transcripts, maps, timeline, and character guides represent hundreds of hours of volunteer work. We use minimal advertising to cover hosting costs and keep the site online. All content remains freely accessible to everyone.

If we change how we collect or use data, we'll update this page and note the date at the top. Major changes will be mentioned on the homepage.

Legal Jurisdiction

This site is operated from the United States. If you're accessing from the EU or other regions with stricter privacy laws, your local laws may provide additional rights.
