Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Probably Stolen Wiki ('we', 'our', or 'us') handles information when you visit our website. We run a static guide site with no accounts, and we keep data collection to a minimum.
Information We Collect
Information You Send Us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write, such as a correction or a copyright notice. We use it only to reply and to act on the message.
Information Our Hosting Records
Our hosting provider handles requests to the site and may keep standard server records such as IP address, browser type, requested page and time of request, for security and to keep the site running.
Game-Related Data
Probably Stolen Wiki does not host or run the game, so we do not collect your in-game progress, scores, or gameplay statistics. If you contact us about a guide, we only see what you send us.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above for the following purposes: (1) To provide and maintain the website; (2) To answer your messages; (3) To correct guides and handle copyright notices; (4) To protect the site against abuse and keep it secure; (5) To comply with legal obligations.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to count visits and see which pages are useful.
Data Collected
GA4 collects anonymous usage data: the pages you view, the page you came from, device type, browser, operating system, screen size, language, approximate location (country, region and city), and basic engagement such as time spent on a page. We do not configure GA4 to collect your name or email address.
Cookies
GA4 sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_KS2T1VSN7Q. They hold a random visitor ID and session state, and last up to two years. The Cookie Policy lists them in full.
IP Addresses
GA4 does not log or store IP addresses. It uses the IP address only to estimate your approximate location, then discards it.
Why We Use It
We use GA4 to count visits and to see which guides are read, so we can keep them useful. We do not try to identify you personally with this data.
How to Opt Out
Install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also delete or block the _ga and _ga_KS2T1VSN7Q cookies in your browser settings.
