Privacy Policy How ThroneAtlas Handles Visitor Information

1. Introduction

Welcome to ThroneAtlas.com. This Privacy Policy explains how ThroneAtlas may collect, use, store, and protect information when visitors use the website. By using this website, you agree to the terms described on this page.

ThroneAtlas is an independent fan-made map and lore reference site. The site publishes atlas-style guides about maps, houses, battles, character routes, locations, and lore. This policy applies to information collected through the website, email contact, forms, analytics tools, cookies, and related website technologies.

2. Information We May Collect

ThroneAtlas may collect information in a few basic ways. Some information is provided voluntarily when you contact us, while some information may be collected automatically through normal website technology.

• Contact information: such as your name, email address, message content, and any details you send through email or contact forms.
• Technical information: such as browser type, device type, IP address, operating system, referral source, pages visited, time spent on pages, and approximate location data.
• Usage information: such as which pages are viewed, which links are clicked, and how readers move through the site.
• Cookie information: small files used for functionality, analytics, security, performance, advertising, or affiliate tracking where applicable.

3. How We Use Information

Information may be used to operate the website, respond to messages, improve content quality, fix broken links, understand reader interest, protect the website, analyze performance, and improve the structure of maps, hubs, and guides.

For example, analytics may help us understand whether visitors are more interested in Westeros maps, character journeys, battle pages, or House of the Dragon locations. Contact messages may help us correct a map reference, update a broken link, or review a reader-submitted lore suggestion.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ThroneAtlas may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies can help the website remember settings, measure page performance, support analytics, improve security, and enable advertising or affiliate-related features if active.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website features, but most content should remain readable.

5. Analytics and Third-Party Services

ThroneAtlas may use third-party services such as analytics tools, advertising networks, hosting providers, security services, email services, or affiliate platforms. These third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

We do not control every data practice of third-party providers. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those services when needed.

6. Advertising and Affiliate Links

ThroneAtlas may display advertisements or use affiliate links in the future. If affiliate links are used, the site may earn a commission when visitors click or purchase through those links, at no extra cost to the visitor.

Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, or personalize ads depending on their systems and user settings.

7. Email and Contact Messages

If you contact ThroneAtlas by email, we may use your email address and message content to respond to your request. Do not send confidential, private, sensitive, or legally protected information through general website email.

8. Data Sharing

ThroneAtlas does not sell personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers only when needed to operate the website, respond to messages, secure the site, analyze performance, or comply with legal obligations.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable measures to protect website information, but no website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Visitors use the website at their own discretion.

10. Children’s Privacy

ThroneAtlas is intended for general audiences and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
