Privacy Policy – 7 Days to Die Mods

At 7DaystoDieMods.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information transparently and responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it may be shared, and the rights you have under applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.

1. Information Automatically Collected

When you visit our website, our servers automatically collect certain technical information necessary to operate the site, ensure security, and monitor performance. This information may include your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, approximate geographic location such as city or country, referring or exit pages, and the date and time of your visit. These routine server logs do not personally identify you but are used to maintain the stability, safety, and functionality of the website.

2. Cookies and Website Functionality

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to support essential features, remember user preferences, improve load times, and enhance your browsing experience. Some cookies are placed by tools used on our website, while others may be set by our advertising partners. You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect the proper functioning of certain features.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use our website and to improve our services. Google Analytics collects data such as the pages you visit, how long you stay on the site, the general region you are browsing from, and the type of device and browser you use. IP addresses processed by Google Analytics are anonymized and are not stored in full. Because Google operates globally, data may be processed outside of Canada in accordance with Google’s privacy practices.

4. Cloudflare File Hosting

When mod creators grant us permission to host their files, those files are delivered through Cloudflare, which serves as a content-delivery and caching provider. Cloudflare processes certain technical information such as IP addresses and request data for the purpose of securely delivering hosted files and protecting our site from malicious traffic. Cloudflare may operate servers outside Canada, and any information processed through Cloudflare is subject to its own privacy policies.

5. Information You Submit to Us

If you submit or update a mod using our submission forms, we collect the information you provide, such as your email address, creator name or alias, and any optional support or social links you choose to include, such as your Discord, PayPal, website, or other related profiles. This information is used only to operate, display, and manage your submission and to contact you when necessary. When you contact us using the contact form, we retain the information you provide, including your email address and the contents of your message, solely to respond to your inquiry or request.

6. Admiral Subscription and Consent Services

Our website uses Admiral to manage subscription features and consent preferences. Admiral may store or process information such as your IP address, browser details, and interactions with subscription or consent banners to determine your subscription status, remember your preferences, and prevent repeated prompts. If you subscribe to any service offered through Admiral’s tools, Admiral may also collect your email address or payment-related information according to its own privacy policy. Admiral may process data outside of Canada and follows its own data-handling practices, which we encourage you to review.

7. Advertising Through Playwire

Advertising on 7DaystoDieMods.com is provided in part by Playwire. Playwire may collect limited, non-identifiable information related to ad delivery and performance, such as browser type, device information, and general geographic region. The information collected by Playwire is governed by Playwire’s privacy policy and may be processed outside Canada. We do not control the specific information Playwire may collect and do not receive personally identifiable information from Playwire.

8. Embedded Media and External Services

Some pages on our website include embedded content from third-party platforms such as YouTube, Imgur, Medal, and X (formerly Twitter). These services may collect information about your visit when their content loads, regardless of whether you interact with the embedded media. Their data collection practices are governed by their own privacy policies and are beyond our control.

Additionally, our website features a link to HostHavoc, a third-party game server provider. Any information you provide to HostHavoc is governed solely by HostHavoc’s privacy policy. We do not receive or process any personal data collected through HostHavoc’s website.

9. Age-Restricted Content

Some content on our website may be designated as 18+ or otherwise age-restricted. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals who are under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. Users must be of legal age to view such content. If we become aware that a minor has provided personal information to us, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information upon request.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Server logs are kept for routine security and operational needs for a limited period. Information submitted through mod submission forms is retained while the mod remains published or until the creator requests its removal. Contact form submissions are stored only as long as needed to address your inquiry. When permitted by law, you may request deletion or correction of your information.

11. International Data Transfers

Because we use services such as Google Analytics, Cloudflare, Playwire, Admiral, and embedded third-party media, your information may be transferred or processed outside of Canada. These providers maintain their own privacy practices and may be subject to the laws of the jurisdictions in which they operate. We use reputable service providers who apply reasonable security measures.

12. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and administrative steps to safeguard the information we collect. These measures include Cloudflare’s security filtering, regular updates to our software, and virus scanning of newly submitted mod files when possible. Despite these measures, no method of data transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

13. Your Rights Under PIPEDA

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to request access to that information, and to request corrections if any of it is inaccurate. You may also inquire about how your information has been used or shared and may withdraw consent to the use of your information where legally permissible. To exercise these rights, you may contact us using the email provided below, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

14. External Links

Our website contains links to external websites and services that we do not control. This Privacy Policy applies only to 7DaystoDieMods.com. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit through links on our platform.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we make updates, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted signifies your acceptance of those changes.
