Privacy

01

About this policy

Vermillyx is an independent collection of websites, software, games, tools, experiments, stories, and other digital projects.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit or use Vermillyx websites and services, how that information may be used, and the choices you may have regarding your information.

Individual Vermillyx projects may have additional privacy notices where their features or services require them.

02

Information you provide

Most Vermillyx websites are designed to be usable without creating an account or providing personal information.

If you contact Vermillyx, submit feedback, send a message, or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide information such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

We use information you provide for purposes such as responding to your request, communicating with you, providing a requested service, or maintaining the relevant project.

03

Information collected automatically

When you visit a Vermillyx website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by the website and the services used to operate it.

This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, referring page, requested pages, timestamps, and other technical information associated with a web request.

This information may be used for security, reliability, diagnostics, performance monitoring, abuse prevention, and understanding how our websites are used.

04

Cloudflare

Vermillyx websites are hosted and/or delivered using services provided by Cloudflare.

Cloudflare may process technical information associated with requests to our websites, including IP addresses and other information contained in web requests, for purposes such as content delivery, security, performance, reliability, and protection against malicious traffic.

Cloudflare may also use cookies or similar technologies where necessary for its services.

Information processed by Cloudflare is also subject to Cloudflare's own privacy practices and policies.

05

Cookies and similar technologies

Vermillyx websites and third-party services used by them may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for functionality, security, preferences, analytics, performance measurement, advertising, or other legitimate website operations.

The technologies used may differ between Vermillyx websites and projects.

You can generally control or remove cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some websites or services.

06

Analytics

Vermillyx may use analytics services to understand how websites and projects are being used and to improve their performance and functionality.

Analytics information may include pages viewed, approximate geographic information, device and browser information, traffic sources, interactions, and other usage information.

The analytics services and configuration used may vary between projects.

07

Advertising and affiliate links

Vermillyx may display advertisements or participate in affiliate programs in the future.

Affiliate links are links that may result in Vermillyx receiving a commission if you make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action through the link.

Using an affiliate link does not necessarily change the price you pay. The terms of the relevant third-party service or merchant will apply to your transaction.

Advertising and affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure referrals, attribute purchases, prevent fraud, personalize advertising, or provide their services.

The specific advertising and affiliate services used by a particular Vermillyx project may be described in that project's own notices where appropriate.

08

Third-party services

Vermillyx may use third-party services for hosting, content delivery, security, analytics, authentication, payments, email, advertising, affiliate tracking, or other functionality.

These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services.

Third-party services operate according to their own privacy policies, terms, and practices. Vermillyx does not control the privacy practices of third parties.
