This Privacy Policy explains what information The Last Caretaker Tools ("we", "us", or "the site") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
Information you provide directly
- Account information: If you create an account, we store your email address and a display name. This is used to identify you and sync your saved data across devices.
- Feedback submissions: When you use the in-site Feedback form, we store the title, description, and any attachment you provide, along with your account (if you are logged in) so we can reply to you.
- Uploaded save files: If you import a game save file, the file is processed to extract inventory and progress data. The file itself is handled for processing and is not permanently stored as part of your profile; the extracted data (memories, food, and grown-human records) is saved to your account or local browser storage so the calculator can use it.
Information collected automatically
- Guest session identifiers: If you use the site without logging in, we issue a signed, anonymous session token so your saved data stays attached to your browser. This token does not contain personal information and cannot be used to identify you.
- Usage and analytics data: We may collect anonymous, aggregate statistics about page visits and tool usage to understand how the site is used and to improve it.
- Log and technical data: Standard server logs (such as request time and approximate region) may be retained briefly for security and reliability.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses cookies and local browser storage. Local storage is used to remember your inventory and settings when you are not logged in. Cookies may be used to keep you signed in and to support advertising. You can disable or clear cookies in your browser settings; doing so will not prevent you from using the tools, though you may need to re-enter some settings.
Google AdSense and third-party advertising
This site displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can learn more about how Google uses data when you interact with its ads at Google's advertising policies.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. The use of cookies for ad personalization can be managed through your browser settings.
We do not control the cookies or tracking technologies used by Google or other third-party ad networks. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
How we use information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the tools and save your data.
- To respond to your feedback and support requests.
- To analyze usage and improve performance and features.
- To display relevant advertising that supports keeping the site free.
- To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security issues.
Data retention
Guest data is retained for a limited period and may be cleaned up automatically when it is no longer associated with an active session. Account data is kept for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time through the Feedback tool.
Your choices
- Use the site without an account: You are never required to create an account; the tools work fully with local-only storage.
- Opt out of personalized ads: Adjust your Google Ads Settings or browser cookie preferences as described above.
- Manage cookies: Clear or disable cookies in your browser at any time.
- Delete your data: Contact us via the Feedback tool to request deletion of your account and saved information.
Third-party links
This site may link to external websites (including game wikis, official resources, and Google services) that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or practices of any third-party site.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
