Effective date: July 21, 2026
Last updated: July 21, 2026
This policy applies to the website at policechiefwiki.com and any pages we host under that domain (the “Site”). It does not cover the Police Chief mobile game, app stores, Discord servers, or other third-party services you might use alongside the game.
1. Who we are
The Site is an unofficial fan wiki for the Police Chief mobile game. We are not the game’s developer or publisher. For questions about this policy:
- Email: [email protected]
- General contact: [email protected]
2. What this site is (and isn’t)
The Site is mostly static reference pages: upgrade tables, hero pages, guides, and similar content. We do not offer user accounts, profiles, in-site messaging, or a members area. You can read the Site without signing up for anything here.
3. Information we may process
3.1 Information you send us on purpose
If you email us (corrections, questions, legal requests), we receive whatever you put in that message: your email address, the body of the message, and any files you attach. We use that to reply and, if needed, to fix content on the Site. We don’t sell those messages and we don’t turn them into marketing lists.
3.2 Technical data from normal browsing
Like almost every website, our hosting and delivery setup may automatically process technical data when your browser requests a page. That typically includes things such as:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Page URL requested and referring URL (if any)
- Browser type, device type, and general OS information
- Approximate location derived from IP (city/region level at most)
- Success or error codes for the request
We use this kind of data to keep the Site online, debug errors, block abuse (spam, scraping that knocks the server over, etc.), and understand which pages are actually useful. We do not use it to build a personal profile of you as a player of Police Chief.
3.3 What we don’t collect on purpose
We do not intentionally collect:
- Your in-game account ID, password, or recovery codes
- Payment card details (we don’t sell the game or process purchases)
- Precise GPS location from your device
- Government ID numbers or similar sensitive identifiers
- Content from your device camera, mic, or contacts
Please don’t send game passwords or payment details by email. We will never ask for them.
4. Cookies and similar technology
The core Site content is static and does not require an account cookie to read pages. Depending on how the Site is hosted and which optional tools we enable over time, small files or local storage entries may be set by us or by providers we use. Common categories:
- Strictly necessary — needed for security, load balancing, or basic site function.
- Preferences — things like remembering a UI choice if we add one later (for example, collapsed menus). We don’t have a login, so this stays minimal.
- Analytics — if we add privacy-respecting analytics to see which pages get traffic, those tools may set their own cookies or use similar storage. If we do, we’ll aim for aggregated stats, not ad tracking across the web.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block everything, the Site should still load; a few optional features might not remember your choices.
We do not use the Site to run cross-site advertising networks that follow you around other websites. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated before those tools go live.
5. Analytics and third-party services
Running a public site usually involves third parties for hosting, DNS, content delivery, and security. Those providers process technical request data under their own terms so they can deliver pages and protect their networks.
Examples of the kinds of services a site like this uses:
- Web hosting / container platform
- DNS and CDN providers
- TLS certificate issuers
- Optional analytics (only if we enable them)
- Email providers when you write to us
When you leave our Site — for example, following a link to an app store, Discord, or another wiki — their privacy policies apply, not this one.
Embedded images or assets loaded from third-party domains (if any) may allow those domains to see that a request came from a page on our Site. Where we can, we host images ourselves to keep that limited.
6. How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- Serve pages and keep the Site available
- Fix bugs, broken links, and wrong game data
- Respond to email you send us
- Monitor abuse and protect the Site
- Understand aggregate traffic so we know what to improve
- Meet legal obligations if we’re required to
We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent email addresses. We do not use your messages to train public AI models as a product feature of this Site.
7. Legal bases (where that language applies)
If you are in a region that requires a “legal basis” for processing personal data (for example the EEA/UK under GDPR-style rules), we generally rely on:
- Legitimate interests — running a public fan reference site, securing it, and understanding aggregate usage in a limited way
- Contract / steps at your request — when you email us and we need the content of that exchange to reply
- Legal obligation — if we must retain or disclose information to comply with law
- Consent — where we ask for it (for example optional non-essential cookies, if we add a consent flow later)
8. Sharing
We may share information only in these situations:
- Service providers who host or deliver the Site, handle email, or provide security — only as needed for those jobs
- Legal requirements — if we’re required by law, court order, or government request that we believe is valid
- Safety — to protect the Site, our users, or others from fraud, abuse, or security incidents
- Business transfer — if the Site is ever transferred as part of a project handoff, relevant records may move with it under this same kind of policy
We do not sell personal data to data brokers.
9. Retention
- Server / access logs — kept for a limited period typical for hosting (often days to a few months), unless we need longer for security investigations
- Email — kept as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, then deleted or archived in the normal course of mailbox management
- Published content — game tables and guides stay on the Site until we update or remove them; that content is about the game, not about you as a visitor
10. Security
We use reasonable measures appropriate for a static fan site (HTTPS, controlled deploy access, basic server hardening). No method of transmission or storage is perfect. If you believe you’ve found a security issue on policechiefwiki.com, email [email protected] with details — please don’t publicly dump exploit steps that put visitors at risk.
11. Children’s privacy
The Site is a general game reference. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children for accounts (we don’t have accounts). If you’re a parent or guardian and think a child sent us personal information by email that shouldn’t be kept, contact us and we’ll delete it from our inbox where we still have it.
12. International visitors
The Site may be hosted or delivered through servers in more than one country. If you visit from outside the country where a server sits, your request data may be processed across borders so the page can load. By using the Site, you understand that this kind of transfer is part of how the public internet works for a global audience.
13. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
- Ask whether we hold personal data about you
- Request a copy, correction, or deletion of that data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing was based on consent
- Lodge a complaint with a local data protection authority
For a static wiki with no accounts, many of these requests mainly apply to email correspondence and any log data still in our control. Write to [email protected] and describe what you need. We may ask you to confirm control of the email address involved so we don’t hand data to the wrong person.
You can also clear cookies and site data in your browser at any time, and use browser or OS tracking-prevention features.
14. Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control
Browsers sometimes send “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals. Because we don’t run a cross-site ad tracker on this Site, those signals don’t change much today. If we add optional analytics later, we’ll respect applicable opt-out signals where the law or the tool allows.
15. Links to other sites
Guides may link to Discord, official game pages, app stores, or other external sites. We’re not responsible for their privacy practices. Check their policies before you create accounts or share personal information there.
16. Changes to this policy
When we update this page, we’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top. Bigger changes (for example adding analytics or ads) will get a clearer notice on this page. Continued use of the Site after an update means the new policy applies to later visits.
17. Contact
Privacy questions or requests:
- [email protected]
- General: [email protected]
- Website: https://policechiefwiki.com
If you’re writing about a legal claim or formal notice, put enough detail in the subject line that we can find it quickly (for example “Privacy request” or “Legal notice”).
