HOW INFORMATION IS HANDLED

Privacy Policy

The short version

You do not create an account. Checking a boss, quest, charm, or achievement writes to local storage in that browser. We cannot see those checks from our side. If you never email us, we do not hold a name, inbox, or progress file for you.

The site is hosted as static files. The host may keep ordinary request logs (such as IP address, URL, and user agent) to operate the network. We load Google Analytics 4 to measure which pages are visited. There is no cookie-consent banner. Checklist progress, export files, and the body of any email you send us are not sent to Analytics.

Information stored in your browser

Progress uses the local storage key gamecompletion:progress:v1. For each game you have started, that file can include completed objective IDs, optional filter preferences, and timestamps for when tracking started and last changed. Separate keys remember UI choices such as search filters and list layout, for example gamecompletion:elden-ring:ui-prefs:v1 and matching Hollow Knight keys for the hub, bosses, and charms pages.

That data never leaves your device unless you export it. Export downloads a JSON file to wherever your browser saves downloads. We do not receive a copy. Import reads a file you choose and replaces that game’s checklist in the current browser. Clearing site data, using private browsing that wipes on close, or blocking storage removes or prevents this local record. We cannot restore it.

Information we receive by email

If you write to [email protected], we receive whatever you put in the message: your email address, the subject, the body, and any attachment you add. Use that inbox for checklist corrections, bug reports, privacy requests, and trademark notices. Keep progress backups on your computer; do not send a JSON export unless you are asking us to inspect a specific import error and you are comfortable sharing those checked IDs.

We use that correspondence to reply and to fix the site. We do not sell addresses or add you to a newsletter. You can ask us to delete an email thread we still hold. That deletion cannot reach logs the host already rotated, and it cannot reach a copy that only ever lived in your browser.

Hosting, cookies, and third parties

Pages are generated in advance and served as static files. Loading a URL may create technical logs at the host, which currently is Cloudflare. Those logs are used to deliver the site, absorb abuse, and debug outages. We do not use them to rebuild your checklist.

GameCompletion does not set an account cookie. Local storage is not a cookie, but it is still data on your device. Google’s analytics script may set its own cookies or similar identifiers. Your browser, an extension, or a network filter may still send requests we do not control. Embedded game art is served from this site’s own files, not from a social network widget.

If you follow a link to Steam, a wiki, or another external site, that destination has its own privacy practices. This policy only covers gamecompletion.net.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (the official gtag.js snippet) for traffic and page measurement: which URLs load, how often, and typical technical details Google collects for that product. The script is loaded from Google. We do not wrap it in a tag-manager container, and we do not show a consent or cookie banner before it runs.

We do not send checklist ticks, local storage contents, imported or exported JSON, search or filter text you type, or email correspondence through this measurement. If we add custom events later, those parameters will be fixed labels such as a game slug—not user-generated content.

Google processes analytics data under its own terms. You can block the script with a browser setting, an extension, or a network filter. We do not run advertising pixels on these pages.

Children

The checklists are about video games and do not ask for a birth date, school, or parent email. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child sent us an email that should not be kept, write to [email protected] and we will delete the message we still have.

Your choices

  • Stop saving progress by not checking boxes, or by blocking site storage in the browser.
  • Delete progress with each game’s Reset control, or by clearing this site’s data in browser settings.
  • Move progress yourself with Export and Import. We do not operate a sync account.
  • Block Google Analytics with a browser, extension, or network filter. This site does not show a consent banner.
  • Ask privacy questions or request deletion of email we hold at [email protected].

Because progress is local, a “download my data” request cannot return checklist state we never received. Export on the game page is the copy you already control.

Changes to this policy

If storage, hosting, or analytics change, this page will get a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after that date means the revised policy applies to later visits. Questions belong on the contact page or in email to [email protected]. Related rules for using the checklists are in the terms of use.
