Privacy Policy

Information we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

• Technical and usage information: IP address, approximate country, browser and device information, requested pages, referring page, and timestamps. This information is used to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and understand use of the site.
• Email alert information: your email address, optional name, platform, region, selected maps, and alert preferences when you subscribe. We also keep confirmation, management, and unsubscribe information needed to provide the service.
• Player-statistics information: the platform and PUBG player name you submit. We send these details to the PUBG API and may cache the matching player identifier and publicly available game statistics to provide results efficiently.
• Messages: information you include when you contact us.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site uses first-party cookies and browser storage to provide features and remember choices. These may include:

• pubgmaps_region and pubgmaps_platform, which remember your preferred PUBG region and platform;
• pubg_stats_prefs, which remembers statistics-page preferences;
• pubgmaps_alerts_manage_token, which lets a confirmed subscriber manage their alerts securely;
• a PHP session cookie used for security and form functions; and
• a short-lived region notice cookie used after automatic country-based region selection.

You can block or delete cookies using your browser settings, but parts of the site may then work differently or stop working.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may collect information such as your device and browser details, approximate location, pages viewed, and interactions, and may use cookies or similar technologies. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services and about the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising

This site may display advertising supplied by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's previous visits to this site or other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to show ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can manage or opt out of personalized Google advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can also learn about choices offered by participating advertising companies at YourAdChoices. When advertising is enabled, a consent message will ask for permission before cookies or personal information are used for personalized advertising where required. Your available choices may depend on your location.

How we use information

We use information to:

• provide map rotations, player statistics, preferences, and email alerts;
• send service messages you request, including confirmation, management, and alert emails;
• prevent spam, abuse, and excessive API use;
• maintain, secure, diagnose, and improve the site; and
• measure site use and, when enabled, fund the site through advertising.

When information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed with service providers that help run the site, such as hosting and security providers, email delivery providers, Google Analytics, advertising partners, and the PUBG API. These providers may process information in countries other than your own. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a transfer of the site.

Retention and security

We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including providing subscriptions, maintaining cached statistics, security and abuse prevention, record-keeping, and legal obligations. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You can manage or unsubscribe from map alerts using the link in an alert email. You can also ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information associated with you, or object to or restrict certain processing where applicable. Email [email protected]. We may need to verify your request, and legal exceptions may apply. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to complain to your local privacy regulator.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

External links and changes

The site links to services we do not control; their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We may update this policy when the site or applicable requirements change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
