Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how GunZ The Duel Wiki ("we", "us") collects, uses and protects your personal data when you use this website, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

GunZ The Duel Wiki is a community wiki for the game GunZ: The Duel. You can contact us regarding any privacy matter at curator@gunztheduel.wiki.

What information we collect

• Account information: username, email address, and a securely hashed password (we never store your password in plain text).
• Wiki contributions: the content of any wiki pages you create or edit, together with the date/time, your username and your IP address, stored as part of the page's revision history.
• Cookie preference: whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies (see our Cookie Policy).

How we use your information

• To create and manage your account, including sending an activation email when you register.
• To let you create, edit and track changes to wiki pages.
• To maintain a record of edits (a public revision history) for transparency and to prevent abuse, and to notify the site administrator by email when a page is created or edited.
• To keep the site secure, for example by temporarily locking accounts after repeated failed login attempts.

Legal basis for processing

We process your account and contribution data on the basis of legitimate interests (operating and securing the wiki) and, where you register an account, to perform the contract between you and us (providing access to the editing features of the site).

Who we share your information with

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Your username and any content you contribute to the wiki, including page edits and revision history, are visible to other visitors as part of the public wiki. Emails are sent via our SMTP provider solely to deliver account activation messages and admin edit notifications.

How long we keep your information

Account information is retained for as long as your account exists. Wiki revision history is retained indefinitely as part of the wiki's public edit log, in line with standard wiki practice.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Request deletion of your account and associated personal data (note that contributions to the wiki's revision history may be retained, with personal identifiers removed where reasonably possible, to preserve the integrity of the wiki's history).
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at curator@gunztheduel.wiki. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Security

Passwords are stored using a one-way cryptographic hash and cannot be retrieved. All forms on this site are protected against cross-site request forgery, and all database queries use parameterised statements to protect against SQL injection.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
