Privacy Policy

Current data collection

The base site is statically generated and does not require an account. Advertising and analytics scripts remain disabled unless their environment configuration is present.

When advertising is enabled for regions that require consent, ad loading is gated behind a compatible consent management platform signal.

Reader feedback

When the optional reader feedback form is enabled, submissions are processed by Web3Forms and forwarded to the Vice City Intel editorial inbox. The submission includes the feedback text, its source page, and an optional email address.

An email address is not required. If one is provided, it is used only to contact the reader about that feedback after consent is given. Feedback details and email addresses are not sent to analytics or advertising services and are not used for marketing subscriptions.

Web3Forms states that it does not store form submissions, although temporary server logs may contain personal information. Its own privacy terms apply while it processes a submission.

Advertising and cookies

Google and other advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies to serve and measure ads after the required consent has been collected.

Users will receive the controls required for their region before consent-dependent advertising is loaded. Privacy terms from linked third-party services also apply when those links are opened.

External links

Vice City Intel links to official publishers, platform stores, source documents, and potentially affiliate merchants. External sites control their own privacy and cookie practices.
