Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Droppyg (droppyg.com) collects, uses, shares and protects information about visitors to the site. Droppyg is a digital magazine covering Caves & Gateways, Death Realms, Lost Civilizations, Underworld Beings, and related Apps — for readers who want to know what lies beneath the surface of the world.

1. Who We Are

droppyg.com is the data controller for the personal data processed through this site for the purposes described in this policy. For any privacy questions, contact us at [email protected].

2. What Data We Collect

  • Data you provide voluntarily: name and email address, if you use our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Log data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages visited, date and time of access, and referring site.
  • Cookies and device identifiers: as described in Section 4 below.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To operate, maintain and improve the site and its content.
  • To respond to messages sent through our contact form.
  • To send our newsletter, if you have opted in voluntarily (you can unsubscribe at any time).
  • To measure aggregate audience and content performance via Google Analytics.
  • To display advertising, including personalized advertising where permitted by your consent.

4. Cookies and Third-Party Advertising

We use our own and third-party cookies to operate the site, measure audience, and serve advertising.

Advertising and third-party vendors we use: Google Ad Manager (including Google Ad Exchange) and, when active, Google AdSense; Google Analytics (audience measurement); and the Meta Pixel, delivered via Google Tag Manager, for conversion measurement.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can visit Google Ads Settings to control the personalized advertising shown by Google, or visit www.aboutads.info/choices (or, if you are in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu) to manage preferences for other third-party ad vendors.

5. Consent — Visitors from the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland

For visitors located in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we display a consent banner (an IAB TCF v2.2-certified CMP, via Google Funding Choices) before activating non-essential cookies or personalized advertising. We use Google Consent Mode: until consent is given, advertising and measurement signals remain in restricted mode (non-personalized data). You can review your choice at any time via the “Cookie preferences” link in the site footer.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR (EEA/UK)

If you are located in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and to request data portability. You may also withdraw consent at any time and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

7. Your Rights Under the CCPA/CPRA (California)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion of your personal information, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (as those terms are defined by California law) — which, for this site, means opting out of personalized/interest-based advertising via the links in Section 4 above. We do not sell personal information for money. To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected].

8. Other Applicable Law (LGPD — Brazil)

Because this site’s data controller is based in Brazil, data processing is also carried out in accordance with Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) for applicable users, who have the right to access, correct, anonymize, delete, or port their data, and to lodge a complaint with Brazil’s national data protection authority (ANPD).

9. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share data only with service providers strictly necessary to operate the site and serve advertising — hosting, Google (Ad Manager/Ad Exchange, AdSense, Analytics) and Meta (via Google Tag Manager) — each under its own privacy policy and, where applicable, contractual data-protection obligations.

10. International Data Transfers

Some of the service providers above (Google, Meta) may process data on servers located outside your country of residence. Where this occurs, we require that processing follow appropriate data-protection safeguards.

11. Data Retention

We retain contact and newsletter data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for, or until you request deletion. Cookie data follows the retention periods of the relevant cookie category.

12. Children’s Privacy

Droppyg is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that a child’s data has been collected without appropriate parental consent, we will take steps to delete it.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect the data we collect against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or improper disclosure. No system is 100% secure, but we work continuously to maintain good security practices.

14. Links to Third-Party Sites

This site may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties — we recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The date below indicates the most recent version.

Last updated: August 2026.
