Privacy policy
This privacy policy explains what information is collected and how it is used on the PC Simulator Unofficial Wiki.
The wiki owner is zegs32.
Summary
The wiki is powered by MediaWiki. In a standard MediaWiki installation, some information is stored or logged automatically so the site can function, prevent abuse, and support editing.
Information we collect
When you visit the wiki, the server may record basic technical information such as:
- your IP address
- your browser and device information
- the date and time of your visit
- the pages you view
- actions you take on the wiki, such as edits, logins, and account changes
If you create an account or edit pages, the wiki may also store:
- your username
- your edit history
- page watchlist settings
- user preferences
- cookies used to keep you signed in and remember settings
How we use information
We use this information to:
- operate and maintain the wiki
- authenticate users and keep accounts secure
- show page history and edit logs
- prevent spam, abuse, and vandalism
- troubleshoot technical problems
- improve the wiki experience
Public information
Some information on the wiki is public by design. This may include:
- page edits and revision history
- usernames attached to edits
- discussion page posts
- logs of certain actions, such as page moves or account-related changes
Please do not post personal information on public pages unless you are comfortable with it being visible to others.
Cookies
MediaWiki may use cookies to:
- keep you logged in
- remember your preferences
- support basic site functionality
You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some wiki features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
IP addresses
If you edit without logging in, your IP address may be visible in revision history and logs. Logged-in users may still have their IP address recorded in server logs for security and maintenance purposes.
Third-party services
A base MediaWiki installation does not normally include advertising or third-party analytics. If third-party tools, extensions, embeds, or external services are added later, they may collect information according to their own privacy policies.
Data retention
Information may be retained for as long as it is needed to operate the wiki, maintain records, support moderation, or satisfy legal and security requirements. Public edit history may remain part of the wiki unless removed through the normal administrative process or required by law.
Data sharing
We do not sell personal information.
Information may be shared only when necessary to:
- operate the wiki
- protect the wiki from abuse
- comply with legal obligations
- respond to requests from the wiki owner or administrators acting on behalf of the wiki
Your choices
You may be able to:
- browse the wiki without creating an account
- edit while logged in or, where allowed, without logging in
- change some preferences in your account settings
- clear cookies in your browser
Security
Reasonable steps should be taken to protect the wiki and its data. However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. The latest version will apply once published on the wiki.
Contact
For questions about this policy or the handling of wiki data, contact the wiki owner, zegs32, through the wiki's normal contact or discussion channels.
