Privacy Notice

Effective August 18, 2026

Information collected

When you sign in, the service may receive your account identifier, name, and email from the selected sign-in provider. It stores your membership tier, saved loadout identifiers, creator application details, and early-access requests.

Anonymous interaction analytics

Loadout Pulse aggregates normalized click positions with the current page, selected game, device class, and date to help improve navigation and layout. It does not store typed text, form values, passwords, emails, IP addresses, or raw visitor sessions in the click heatmap. Browser Do Not Track is honored, and owner/admin interactions are excluded.

How information is used

Information is used to operate accounts, synchronize favorites, enforce access tiers, review creator applications, maintain security, improve site usability, and contact users who request early access.

Streaming accounts

The current beta accepts public Twitch or Kick channel information for pending review. It does not request or store streaming-platform passwords. Future OAuth connections will require explicit user authorization.

Local storage

Anonymous favorite selections may be stored in the browser. Signed-in favorites are synchronized with the account profile.

Referral attribution

Opening a referral link or applying a referral code creates a server-issued receipt containing the code, referral method, capture time, and 30-day expiry. The browser stores this receipt to retain attribution on return visits. Expired browser receipts are removed on the next visit. You can remove the saved referral using Remove referral on the Membership page. Checkout and subscription records may include the referral code, receipt identifier, and timestamps so that the service can reconcile promotional commissions. Removing browser storage does not erase completed transaction records. Referral receipts do not contain names, email addresses, passwords, payment-card information, or IP addresses. Transaction records are retained as needed for accounting, disputes, and legal obligations. Referral attribution alone does not provide a discount.

Sharing and retention

Information is not sold. It may be processed by hosting, authentication, database, and payment or authorized streaming-platform providers as required to operate the service. Records are retained while needed for the service, security, legal obligations, or user-requested access.

Choices

Users can sign out at any time. Account deletion and data-export controls will be added before paid memberships launch.
