Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how StatTuner.com collects, uses, stores and shares information when you use our game build simulators, equipment comparison tools, damage calculators, guides and related website services.
StatTuner.com is the operator and data controller responsible for personal data processed directly through this website. Privacy questions and data protection requests may be sent to [email protected] .
1. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to StatTuner.com and the game-specific pages, calculators, equipment databases, comparison tools and content published under the StatTuner domain.
It does not apply to third-party websites, game publishers, external databases or services that may be linked from StatTuner. Those services maintain their own privacy practices and policies.
2. Information We May Collect
Information you provide directly
When you contact StatTuner, we may receive information such as:
- Your email address and name, if provided.
- The content of your message.
- Game, item, skill or build information included in your report.
- Screenshots, attachments or reference links you send to us.
- Business, legal, correction or support request details.
Technical and usage information
Our servers, security providers and service providers may automatically process limited technical information, including:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Operating system and device category.
- Requested page and referring page.
- Date and time of access.
- Approximate geographic region derived from an IP address.
- Error, security and diagnostic information.
- Interactions with calculators, tools or advertisements.
Build and preference data
Some build settings, equipment selections, interface preferences or consent choices may be stored locally in your browser using cookies, local storage or similar technologies.
Information stored only in your browser remains on your device until you clear browser data, remove the saved build or use an available reset function. Locally stored build data is not treated as an online user account.
3. How and Why We Use Information
| Purpose | Information | Legal basis where applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Operate and deliver the website | Technical requests, device information, build selections and necessary storage. | Legitimate interests in operating a functional, reliable and secure service. |
| Respond to messages and correction requests | Email address, message contents, screenshots and supporting sources. | Legitimate interests and steps taken at your request. |
| Protect the website | IP addresses, access logs, error logs and security signals. | Legitimate interests in preventing abuse, fraud, attacks and service disruption. |
| Measure and improve performance | Aggregated usage, page performance and interaction information. | Consent where required, or legitimate interests where permitted by applicable law. |
| Display and measure advertising | Cookies, local storage identifiers, IP address, device information and advertising interactions. | Consent where required and legitimate interests for limited contextual advertising where legally permitted. |
| Meet legal obligations | Information required for lawful requests, disputes or regulatory compliance. | Compliance with legal obligations and establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. |
Where Turkish data protection law applies, personal data is processed in accordance with the applicable processing conditions under Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data and explicit consent is requested where legally required.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies are small files or identifiers stored on a browser or device. StatTuner and its service providers may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies for the following categories.
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Security, traffic delivery, fraud prevention, consent status and essential site operation. | Generally used without optional consent where strictly necessary. |
| Functional | Remembering build selections, game choices and interface preferences. | Managed according to applicable regional rules. |
| Analytics | Understanding website usage, errors, performance and feature popularity. | Used after consent where required. |
| Advertising | Delivering, limiting, personalising and measuring advertisements. | Used after consent where required. |
You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling necessary storage may cause some features, consent preferences or saved builds to stop working correctly.
Where a privacy or cookie preferences control is displayed on the website, you may use it to change or withdraw your consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
5. Google AdSense and Advertising
StatTuner may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and participating advertising technology providers may process information such as cookies, local storage identifiers, IP addresses, browser information, device information, approximate location and advertisement interaction data.
Personalised advertisements may use information about previous browsing or interests where legally permitted and where the required consent has been obtained.
Non-personalised advertisements are generally selected using contextual information, such as the current page or approximate region. Non-personalised advertising may still use cookies or identifiers for purposes such as frequency limitation, fraud prevention and aggregated advertising measurement.
Before non-essential advertising or analytics storage is activated in jurisdictions that require consent, StatTuner will request the applicable choices through a consent management platform.
More information about how Google uses information from websites and applications using its services is available here:

7. International Data Transfers
StatTuner and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. These countries may have different data protection laws.

Transfer safeguards may vary according to the provider, destination country and applicable law.
