This policy explains what data GachaPath (gachapath.com) collects when you visit, why, who else receives it, and the rights you have over it. It is written to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA).
Who Is Responsible
GachaPath is operated by Kairo, who serves as the data controller for this site. Contact: contact@gachapath.com.
What We Collect
- Basic server logs: Like any website, the servers delivering our pages process technical request data: IP address, browser type, requested URL, referrer URL, and timestamp. This data is strictly necessary to transmit pages and maintain network security.
- Cloudflare Analytics: We collect aggregated, privacy-first traffic metrics provided by Cloudflare (such as page views and country-level geographic metrics) to understand readership without identifying individual users.
- Cookie & Consent preferences: When you accept or decline cookies, your preference is stored in your browser's local storage (
rp-consent) so the consent banner does not reappear on each navigation. - Direct communications: If you send us an email, we receive your email address and message contents solely to respond to your inquiry.
- No account creation or payment collection: We do not require accounts, do not store financial or payment details, and never sell or share personal information with third-party data brokers.
Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
- Legitimate Interest: To serve content reliably, ensure site security and attack mitigation, and evaluate aggregated traffic performance.
- Consent: Any non-essential analytics or affiliate/advertising cookies, which are only activated if you click "Accept" on our cookie consent banner.
- Contractual / Communication Fulfilment: Handling and replying to direct inquiries sent via email.
Third-Party Services & Data Transfers
- Cloudflare: Edge hosting, DDoS mitigation, and privacy-preserving performance metrics. Cloudflare processes request IP addresses for security purposes under standard contractual clauses.
- Google Search Console: Aggregated indexation and search appearance data from Google's search index (no trackers or cookies placed on client devices).
- Google Fonts: Web fonts loaded to maintain typography. Browsers establish a direct connection to Google servers to retrieve font files.
- YouTube Embeds: Videos and trailers are embedded using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (
youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube may place cookies or storage objects once a video is actively played. - Affiliate Partners (Amazon Associates & Digital Retailers): When clicking an outbound affiliate link, the merchant network sets a temporary referral cookie to track qualifying purchases.
- International Transfers: Where data leaves the European Economic Area (EEA), transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards, including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
Data Retention
Server logs and security records are purged on automated rolling schedules by our infrastructure providers. Direct correspondence via email is retained only as long as necessary to resolve the inquiry.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the EU/UK or California), you have the right to:
- Access the personal data held about you.
- Request rectification of inaccurate records.
- Request erasure of your data ("Right to be Forgotten").
- Restrict or object to data processing, and withdraw consent at any time.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data (California residents). Note: GachaPath does not sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To submit any privacy request, contact contact@gachapath.com. If you are located in the EEA or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Children's Privacy
GachaPath is directed to general audiences and is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
Policy Updates
