Privacy Policy
About this policy
This policy describes the Pals Guide website at palsguide.cc. It covers the features and data practices in the current site release.
Information you provide
Pals Guide currently has no account, upload, payment, subscription, newsletter, or public submission feature. The site does not ask you to provide information through those features.
Information processed when the site is requested
Pals Guide is hosted through Cloudflare. When you request a page, Cloudflare and the site operator may process standard request information such as your IP address, user agent, requested URL, referrer, date and time, and basic security or error information. This information is used to deliver pages, operate caching and security features, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot availability or performance issues. Pals Guide does not use this request information for user accounts, advertising profiles, payment processing, newsletter subscriptions, or public submissions, because the current site does not offer those features.
Microsoft Clarity analytics
If you choose “Accept analytics,” Pals Guide uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site and to improve navigation, layout, content presentation, reliability, and usability. Clarity can process page visits and rendering, clicks or taps, scrolling, mouse movement, navigation, device and browser details, performance and diagnostic events, and DOM/layout information to produce behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and reconstructed session replays. Session replay is a reconstruction from page structure and interaction events, not a camera or screen video. Pals Guide configures Strict masking, does not intentionally send form or search-field values, and does not use Clarity for advertising or connect it to Microsoft Advertising.
Clarity is off unless you opt in. If you accept, Microsoft may set first- and third-party cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can reject analytics without losing site features and can later change or withdraw your choice through Cookie settings. When Global Privacy Control is active, Pals Guide keeps Clarity off. Microsoft states that Clarity itself does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals; Pals Guide nevertheless treats a browser DNT signal as analytics off.
Microsoft/Clarity receives and has access to the analytics data and stores it in Microsoft Azure. Microsoft’s current Clarity documentation describes Microsoft Clarity as a data controller. Microsoft’s current retention documentation states that playback data is retained for 30 days and click/heatmap data and labeled or favorited sessions for up to 9 months; Microsoft’s recordings documentation also says a limited sample of recordings may remain available for up to 9 months. See the Microsoft Clarity Privacy FAQ, Clarity data collection documentation, Clarity retention documentation, Clarity Terms of Use, and Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Cookies and similar technologies
Pals Guide stores only the necessary palsguide_consent preference before analytics opt-in. Microsoft Clarity cookies are used only after you accept analytics. The cookie names, purposes, and controls are described in the Cookie Policy.
How information is used and shared
Hosting request information is used for delivery, security, caching, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting as described above. If you opt in, Clarity analytics is used only for site UX diagnostics and is shared with Microsoft/Clarity as described in the analytics section. Pals Guide does not use analytics for advertising and does not connect Clarity to Microsoft Advertising.
External links
Pals Guide links to PalBreedRoute, a separate sister breeding planner. When you open that link, you leave Pals Guide and the destination site’s terms and privacy practices apply. Pals Guide does not currently embed or exchange user data with PalBreedRoute.
Audience and children’s privacy
Pals Guide is a general-audience Palworld information site for a broad player audience. It is not designed, promoted, or directed specifically to users under 18. This does not make the site adults-only, and Pals Guide does not verify visitors’ ages. Microsoft states that Clarity should not be used on websites or apps targeting users under 18. If Pals Guide changes to target users under 18, Microsoft Clarity will be disabled before that change is released.
Your choices and requests
You can reject analytics without losing site features, or use to accept, reject, or withdraw your choice. For privacy questions or requests, email support@palsguide.cc.
Changes to this policy
This policy may change when the site’s features, providers, or data practices change. The Last updated date will change when the public text changes.
